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 2012 edition.

Fressh is just off George Square, and a refreshing antidote to some of the big commerical outfits in the area. It serves a limited menu but does it very well. Soups are always excellent, and the sandwich fillings are fresh and colourful if a little unadventurous. A particular favourite is the pastry-less mini-quiche which suits the gluten-free and any remaining Atkins diet fans. Cakes are variable. The home-made fare is excellent but like so many places it travels the rocky road of bought-in tray bakes. The bright, contemporary space with effective and budget-conscious décor often has queues at lunchtime as it is popular with Glasgow City Council employees – it is satisfying to see that public money is not all being blown on lavish expense account lunches.

  • High point: Fressh flavours

Happy to correct at least some of the info regarding tray bakes. These are being phased out. Carrot cake, chocolate crispy cake, honeymoon slice and caramel shortbread are now home made, as are scones, pancakes, honey oat and raisin cookies, shortbread and chocolate brownie. In the next few weeks, all cakes will be home made and take your point, they are MUCH better..I should know, I make 'em :)) Thanks for the nice review though, glad you liked the quiche but I've made it bigger now and added some more salad(y) stuff to whet your appetite. Enjoy.

Just a really fantastic place. Nice prices, friendly people. Big open space, room to eat their lovely salads and sandwiches and just, clear your head. The great thing about the so-called 'low point' listed in the article? (specials board) you get to talk to people - they'll make anything you want! The name says it all...
