Embargo Glasgow
Miss Diner's Review ๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ
My friend & I were having a wee jaunt around the Westend & decided on this quirky lil' venue. I had previously been a year ago for their boozy brunch deal ๐ฅ๐ณ which I enjoyed, so I had to try out their main menu!
The Food ๐ฝ๏ธ -
Korean Fried Chicken
Vegetable Gyozas
Thai Prawn Crackers
Beef Massaman Curry
Curried Jackfruit Bao Buns
Loaded Katsu Fries + Cheese
Peanut Butter & Chocolate Stack
Cocktails ๐น -
Mojito
Lychee Bramble
The food & drinks were lovely ๐ the highlights for me were the Korean Fried Chicken & Beef Massaman Curry ๐ both full of flavour & tender. Oh & the Loaded Fries.. Katsu sauce & my genius idea of adding cheese ๐คค๐คค heaven! My friend is vegetarian & thought there was a great selection of veggie options on the menu which is always good๐
Embargo is so pretty inside, it's got that famous 'dae it for the gram' type vibe ๐ธโ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ the beautiful angel wings painted on the outside of the building has got the attention of many for that all important photo opportunity!
Oh & ladies.. There is a ring light in the toilet ๐ธ get that wee selfie in before you pay the bill ๐๐
During this time, @embargo_glasgow will be doing takeaways, which you can get delivered or collect in person ๐

Cafe Strange Brew
๐ต๏ธโโ๏ธ I had a wonderful day on Friday venturing off to the Southside, I had not been in ages! My trip started off at Cafe Strange Brew. Miss Diner has previously been & loved it. I have visited their sister venue @mesa_glasgow in Dennistoun so knew to expect good things. ๐ค
The menu is just Brunch Heaven! ๐ฅ Itโs so hard to pick, so I had a we look on their Instagram page and decided on the Daily Special. An โAutumnalโ ๐ dish of Sweet Potato Waffles ๐ง, Wild Mushroom ๐, Blue Cheese ๐ง, Fried Egg & Balsamic Walnuts!
This was incredible as I ๐ mushrooms! It was a really warming dish with a great balance of flavours. The Balsamic Walnuts were really sweet which complimented the overall savoury tone of the dish. The use of sweet potato for the waffle base was really unique & not dry which I find waffles can be in many other places. ๐๐ป
The service was very conversational & jokey which I just love. It feels like all the staff have been picked for their great personalities & they all seem to bounce off each other when I go to pay. ๐คฉ
I thought the decor inside was great & loved their merch store! I sat outside for my meal which was nice while the sun โ๏ธ was out, watching the world go by.
This venue is VERY popular so the only thing I would say is expect to wait for 10-15 mins as there is always a que to get sat down. I canโt wait to pop back soon with Miss Diner for a we day sesh in the Southside ๐ค๐ป

Brunch
MILK
Have you heard about the โSupper Clubโ at the @milk_cafeglasgow Well, prepare to be amazed! I specifically visited the Southside to try this venue the other day as this place is doing a few things which just sing ๐ถ to me!
1. Supporting Refugee Women by employing them ๐
2. Doing a different โWorld ๐ Foodโ Theme every week. Bringing cuisines which have NEVER been explored before in Glasgow &
3. Donating ยฃ1 for every meal going towards charity.
The cafe is super cute with amazing artwork ๐ผ, โgirl powerโ murals @ hanging plant baskets ๐ฑ
I chose to go this week as I was so intrigued to try the โSyrianโ menu. It has been well documented that Syria ๐ธ๐พ has had a terrible time and I was so interested to learn about the people, the culture and what traditional recipes they would make.
We enjoyed...
Starter - Pickled Turnip & Salad ๐ฅ
I am all for everything being pickled. These were very tasty ๐
Mains - Lamb Meatballs with Cherry ๐ & Rice
What a showstopper of a meal! This recipe is very traditional to Syria and was recently shown on Masterchef. Such a quirky ingredient to use with meatballs the fruitiness was just ๐๐ป
I will definitely be trying to recreate this myself!
Dessert ๐ฎ
Rice Pudding with Pistachio & Rose. This was pleasant, very fragrant. Just a couple of ingredients bring the rice pudding to life!
All of this is ยฃ12.50 p.p which I find to be incredibly good value and love the fact that ยฃ1 goes to charity! Go give @milk_cafeglasgow a follow and support this amazing cause & concept!

Atlantic Bar & Brasserie
C'est Magnifique ๐ซ๐ท
We choose Atlantic for what we thought would be our last โEat Out To Help Outโ in August and it didnโt disappoint.
This venue and its sister The Anchor Line situated directly above is a homage to the Atlantic Restaurant of 1938. The Anchor line shipping company ๐ข were known for luxury travel from Scotland to exotic destinations, with the nouvelle cuisine of France served onboard.
For Starters I had the French Onion Soup which I hadnโt had in ages. Just Wow! It was very hot, cooked right through but it was super delicious. ๐ A real Winter Warmer so maybe best suited for that time of year but I would definitely have this again, that cheese and crouton were unreal.
For my main I opted for the LA POITRINE DE PORC FARCIE - Smoked honey glazed pork belly, black pudding with date, rosemary & thyme stuffing, creamy mash, smoked pancetta, Toulouse sausage & bean cassoulet, rich onion gravy. The pork was so tender, cooked lovely and I really enjoyed it. The balance of flavours were gorgeous. The only thing I would say is that itโs quite a heavy menu,so definitely suitable for the winter months for a bit of stodge. I would want to arrive very hungry for next time.
Service I found was very polite and efficient, perhaps a little over attentive. The setting I just loved, the lighting and seatings were very cosy and it felt luxurious and intimate. Leaving with ยฃ20 off the bill it came to ยฃ72 which I thought was really good value. Even at full price i would say itโs inline with what your getting. We would definitely return when we want to eat something that will warm the soul. @atlanticbrasserie

Cafe Gandolfi
The question we have been asking ourselves since visiting Cafe Gandolfi is.. WHY THE HELL HAVE WE NEVER BEEN HERE BEFORE?! ๐ฎ๐ We had the most attentive & friendly waitress, she happily answered any questions we had about the menu. The decor has a rather antique feel to it, we think it would be a perfect place to go on a cold, frosty night for a warming meal & a glass of vino ๐ด๐ท

Miss Diner ๐โโ๏ธ
Starter (Special)
Burrata, Black Fig, Savoury Granola, Crispy Sage & Honey, Lemon & Thyme Dressing.
Easily one of the best dishes I have ever eaten ๐คค The flavours were insane! Please make this a permanent dish ๐ A must try!
Main - Peat Smoked Haddock, Crushed Potatoes, Mustard Cream, Poached Egg.
Really enjoyed this dish, the fish was so fresh! The poached egg worked really well with the fish ๐ The potatoes were lacking slightly in seasoning for me.
Mr Diner ๐โโ๏ธ
Starter - (Special)
Isle of Barra Scallops, Chestnut Veloute, Smoked Bacon, Apple & Maple Syrup.
Scallops were perfectly cooked, full of flavour. Lovely smokey taste from the bacon & a slight sweetness from maple syrup ๐
Main - Pulled Ox Cheek, Charred Greens, Shallot Ash, Burnt Onion Emulsion.
We both had a taste of this as we had never tried ox cheek before.. YUM. So tender! Presented beautifully, such a tasty & warming dish ๐ the sourdough bread was a bit too crispy, quite difficult to bite into.
Miss Diner had to have a dessert ๐ Warm Caramel Shortcake with Isle of Arran Ice cream. HOLY HELL... AMAZING. Like seriously, the actual dream ๐คค making highly inappropriate noises with every mouthful ๐๐ that's when you know that its hit the spot!
We honestly cannot wait to get back here, truly sensational food & lovely staff ๐ @cafegandolfi
