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.
Everything about The Shandon Belles is a little bit special, from the warm welcome to lovely vintage crockery on the table. The cosy basement is crammed with small trinkets and curiosities. Run by the Two Fat Ladies team (the Buttery is upstairs) what you get is great bistro food cooked by really good chefs. The menu starts off with a nice Glasgow poem and, like the venue, is compact. The sweet chilli twist on a traditional prawn cocktail isn’t too alternative. A Scottish theme prevails in the hearty main courses. Braised beef olives, pan seared fillet of salmon and chicken with haggis mash sit alongside a Mediterranean vegetable risotto (plus a meat or fish of the day option). To finish, the cranachan is served in a simple glass and the cheesecake is big enough to share. Stick around and savour the atmosphere a little bit longer with some coffee and homemade tablet.

The atmosphere is terrific, the staff are efficient, friendly and simply superb all the time and every time...and, just as important, the food and the value simply cannot be bettered. This is Glasgow's hidden gem, the place where other those running catering establishments should be sent to let them see just how far behind the competition they are. Don't tell too many people just how faboulous this place is and the how helpful the staff.....it's got it all!!

This restaurant is absolutely fantastic! From the moment we walked through the stain glass door we were mesmerised by every nook and crannie of the place. Dainty and comfortable, candle lit and cosy, the food was to die for, we had fish, meat and veg dishes and all were as good as each other. The service was second to none, the perfect balance of friendly and attentive. It was a little hard to find, but so worth the looking for, and it has a little car park too, which is a weight of the designated drivers mind! A brilliantly charming place.
