Café Source Too

A highly professional and popular restaurant specialising in Scottish food, unusually set in a West End sports club

The 2017 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).

Its incongruous setting on the ground floor of the Hillhead sports complex doesn’t seem to faze the multitudes of locals who throng to this venue for meet-ups, birthdays, special evenings and family gatherings. The eating area is roomy with a large bar area, low ceilings, cream and coffee coloured walls and a swathe of picture windows along one side. The menu features bistro-style favourites while a specials board offers breakout choices and seasonal suggestions from the busy kitchen. Starter of ham and wild boar terrine is filling and tasty served on a crunchy toast while camembert, fig and onion tart makes a substantial option, served as a flaky puff pastry with rocket salad and sesame dressing. Main of slow-braised daube of beef is rich and warming, soaked in a deep dark gravy bolstered with roasted shallots and wild mushrooms, while a pan-fried duck breast from the specials is light, juicy and occasionally tangy. Extra sides including mac and cheese and splendid truffle and parmesan hand-cut chips are also available for a small supplement.
