Eating & Drinking Guide

The 2013 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

This review is taken from the current (2013) edition.

As this Partick café next to Kelvinhall subway nears its 30th birthday, it shows little sign of losing its appeal for the regulars and passers-by tempted in by its cosy space and comforting menu. Big windows look out onto bustling Dumbarton Road while big blackboards on bare brick are perused by diners looking to order up one of the generous plates of good-value food. Breakfast options include the full monty and bacon butties, while the daytime menu offers a selection of sandwiches and snacks plus more subtantial mains such as burgers, pasta and filled crêpes, plus there are some delicious home-baked cakes. For the late-opening nights it offers a set two- or three-course menu with a few comforting classics to choose from such as soup, pâté or bruschetta to start, and steak and ale pie, braised beef or supreme of chicken as mains.

Looks like they listened to the feedback as the salad with the prawn cocktail was really tasty.

Have to say - wonderful food, great service, good value- not often you get it all in Glasgow cafes.

Nice cafe environment with relaxed music, papers, mags etc.
