Art Museums
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is a must-see attraction in Glasgow, offering a diverse collection of Scottish and international art as well as natural history displays. Situated in the historic district of Glasgow Cross, it provides visitors with an opportunity to explore 22 galleries featuring famous floating heads and renowned artworks like Dali's Christ of St John of the Cross painting. The museum also offers exhibitions that provide insights into different time periods.
Visited the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum during our family holiday to Scotland, and it was a standout experience! The building itself is stunning—both outside and in—and packed with exhibits that kept the kids fascinated for hours. From ancient artefacts to interactive science displays, every room offered something unique. The highlight for us was the natural history section and the Spitfire suspended in the main hall—absolutely thrilling for the little ones! The atmosphere was welcoming for families. Best of all, admission was free, making it an easy and worthwhile stop for travellers. Highly recommended if you're exploring Glasgow with children—educational, entertaining, and inspiring!

Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is outstanding, with a fantastic mix of art, cultural treasures, and natural history exhibits. The daily organ concert at 1pm is a real highlight and not to be missed. The biggest drawback is the parking—spaces are limited, the machines don’t accept credit cards, and the parking app doesn’t work for international visitors, so don’t bother trying. Bring coins if you must drive, but it’s far easier to take public transit or Uber. Aside from the parking headache, this is a world-class museum and well worth the visit.
Tim S — Google review
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Glasgow's largest and most popular attractions. It contains a wealth of exhibits ranging from prehistory to the present day. One of the most interesting exhibits is Salvador Dalí's painting, "Christ of Saint John of the Cross". The sheer number of exhibits and artifacts is impressive, and it takes several hours to explore everything. On-site amenities include restrooms and refreshment stands. The icing on the cake is the organ concert held there. As they say, there's something for everyone. I highly recommend it.
Sylwek Y — Google review
Absolutely brilliant museum! Can't miss this one when on Glasgow! Definitely worth spending some time here and then some! Setting aside the great architecture of the building itself the collections are absolutely fantastic catering to varying tastes from Natural History to Painting to Design. And to top it all, it's free! The shop doesn't disappoint either if that's high on your priorities 😉

Lovely museum with a brilliant range of exhibits - not just Art. 2 gift shops, one for adults and one for children, will a lovely range of items. Is free to enter but you need to pay for parking. We paid £7.90 for three hours which was well worth it. There’s a food van in the car park for hot drinks and a bite to eat. We used the EV charger - lead got stuck in the machine and had to call the help line who wouldn’t release us until the car next to us had disconnected. Not the museums issue at all but worth noting if you’re planning on charging there.

I have been a few times over the years and still enjoy it just as much as I did the first time. I went recently with my family on a rainy day. We had a good walk round everywhere and spent a couple of hours. There is lots to see and things for kids to do around the museum. There is a wee cafe inside, if you fancy a tea/coffee, cake, soup and other things available. I have never tried to cafe so cant comment on the food. There are 3 floors to discover a huge range to keep everyone happy. There is also a gift shop. Plenty toilets, disabled access with elevators to get from floor to floor. At certain times you can her the giant organ playing (we went Sunday) so it played at 3pm. There is a big park area outside for a walk round or picnic in dry weather. Can hop on the 77 from Buchanan bus station and takes 10mins. Bonus its Free. There are places you can leave a donation. Don't want to share too many photos so you can see for yourselves.

A wonderful place to visit in Glasgow! Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is truly amazing — a perfect mix of art, history, and culture under one beautiful roof. The architecture itself is stunning, and the exhibits are very well arranged. I especially loved the variety — from ancient artifacts to modern art and natural history displays. It’s peaceful, educational, and completely free to enter. A must-visit spot for anyone in Glasgow!
Talha A — Google review
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is one of Glasgow’s most beautiful and iconic landmarks. The museum, opened in 1901, is housed in a stunning red sandstone building located beside Kelvingrove Park and near the University of Glasgow. It features over 8,000 exhibits, including masterpieces by Van Gogh, Rembrandt, and Salvador Dalí, as well as fascinating displays about Scotland’s history, nature, and culture. One of the highlights is the grand organ, which is used for free daily concerts that fill the museum with wonderful music. The museum is free to enter and offers a perfect mix of art, history, and nature — a must-visit spot in Glasgow!

Ox and Finch is a trendy and contemporary restaurant with a casual vibe, offering creative tapas-style dishes. The spacious venue features sleek leather booths and large windows, creating a hip atmosphere. The menu offers a range of small, tapas-style dishes including seafood like skate wing and poached hake, as well as raw cured and cold dishes such as dry aged carpaccio and rabbit rillettes.
A birthday celebration that was perfect and lived up to our expectations. The food was brilliant as the small plate concept is just what we were so pleased about. Service was also top notch even though it was a busy Saturday afternoon.

Baked beetroot was quite outstanding. Overall good quality food for what we paid for We ordered two desserts both got bread elements in it so we felt a bit too heavy. Nevertheless it's a good attempt to try to be creative.

Please ensure that your server, Nadia, is rewarded in some way or another for her exceptional service & attention to detail. She is truly a credit to your team and made my birthday lunch unbelievably special! She was undoubtedly a highlight of our visit and I left your establishment glowing all thanks to her kindness (and, of course, the amazing food at Ox & Finch!) Legitimately, our only feedback (that we provided at the end of the meal) was that we felt mash may have been a better fit for a side dish as opposed to the chips but, truly, that's the only thing we would have changed! Your manager was also brilliant (we had a brief interaction but he couldn't have been nicer). We are so glad we chose Ox & Finch for our afternoon and we will most certainly be back!
Stephanie R — Google review
Food was good, not amazing comparing it to all the rest of restaurants we’ve been to in Scotland. But it was tasty. It is good they have somehow of a Spanish tapas concept, so you can try more of their dishes or you can share. The service was pretty fast, nice staff, eager to help. The restaurant was full, so be sure to make a reservation as we did, so you can have a smooth experience. What I disliked most was the very annoying noise, of people beind too loud and plates

We were in the hop-on-hop-off bus tour of Glasgow when we decided to hop off for lunch. Ox and Finch was right in front of the stop, so we decided this would be an easy place for lunch. There was a wait for inside dining, so we opted to eat outside. Our server was excellent and the food outstanding. It is a small plate venue so we order 4 dishes to share - bread and butter, potato gnocchi, lamb confit, and a burrata and Isle of Wight tomato salad. The food and presentation was indescribable. Everything tasted as delicious as it looked. The potato gnocchi was the best thing I had on this trip and trust me, we had some pretty amazing food.

We were in on Saturday night, food was beautiful, decor is lovely but the stand out thing for us was your staff, especially Angus, the one who looks like the actor from dexter, we had a laugh with him about this, his knowledge of the menu and his help and advice on our food order was much appreciated, he really is a credit to your wonderful restaurant. We cant wait to return for some great food and fantastic service.

if i could give it more than 5 stars i would! came here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and to say that they made this a really memorable one is a sheer understatement. upon greeting us, they wished him happy birthday, showed us to our table (with a very very lovely handwritten birthday note!!!). dishes were all spectacular. whipped cod roe and crudo where phenomenal. they even made their broccoli and hummus so phenomenal! we had to get additional flat bread to clean the hummus completely. to top it off, the lovely waiter (didn’t get his name) ended our extraordinary night with a happy birthday ice cream on the house. thank you ox and finch! we’ll definitely be back.

Historical landmark
The Finnieston Crane, built in 1931 and towering at a height of 50.24m, holds the distinction of being the tallest crane in Europe during its prime. Now designated as a grade-A listed building, it serves as a prominent symbol of Glasgow's industrial history and is an integral part of the city's skyline. As a tribute to Glasgow's engineering legacy, this giant crane stands as one of eleven remaining cantilever cranes worldwide.
One of the last giant cantilever cranes built on the Clyde. Specifically designed for carrying huge engines and locomotives for loading onto ships and transport across the British Empire. The design was copied across the world. As many as 30,000 locomotives were produced in Springburn and carried through the streets of Glasgow by Clydesdale horse, train and engines on specially built rails. Glasgow was the premier creator of engines and ships in both technology, quantity and quality at the time. The surrounding areas on both sides of the Clyde were once huge docks for building, loading and repairing ships. Much of the surrounding buildings, warehouses and neighbourhoods were destroyed and the rubble used to fill in the docks.

The most famous of many Glasgow landmarks and now a monument to the shipping industry and the shipyard workers. Also famous for loading steam locomotives onto ships for export around the world. Commissioned in 1928 and completed in 1931 it cost £69,000 to build. It is 175 feet high and could lift 175 tons.

Also known as the Stobcross Giant Cantilever Crane, this memorial to Glasgow's mercantile legacy was built between 1928-31 by Cowans Sheldon and Co. of Carlisle and Cleveland Bridge and Engineering Co. It went into operation in 1932 to serve the adjacent North British Diesel Engine Works, being powerful enough to lift railway engines and tanks onto cargo ships, which were then shipped to clients across the globe. The Crane operated until 1969 when the docks closed.

Glasgow Cathedral, also known as St. Mungo's, is a significant example of Scottish Gothic architecture and the oldest building in Glasgow. It was consecrated in 1197 and is the only medieval cathedral to have survived the Protestant Reformation in 1560. The lower crypt houses the tomb of Glasgow's patron saint, St. Mungo. Visitors are captivated by its stunning stained glass windows and ornate interior.
Glasgow Cathedral is one of the iconic buildings to visit in Glasgow. Its breathtaking and majestic Gothic architecture is evident both inside and out. The intricate details of the cathedral reveal the rich history of this enduring structure. The cathedral is free to enter, but donations are recommended for the restoration and maintenance of the building. Please note that the last entry is at 4:15 p.m., so you’ll need a full hour to explore everything inside. There’s also plenty of information to read along the way.

Despite the advised booking of free tickets online, we discovered upon arrival that no one was checking them, and we were permitted to enter freely. We were fortunate to join a free guided tour immediately. The volunteer guide provided excellent context, explaining the history of the cathedral and the reasons for its construction in that location. There is a great deal to see, and visitors who appreciate religious art and history could easily spend several hours inside.

Stepping into Glasgow Cathedral is like stepping back in time. The architecture is incredibly detailed and mesmerizing, and the history within its walls is palpable. It's a truly unique experience to walk through such a historic place. Plus, it's free to enter, and you can get audio guides for a small fee to learn even more. The cathedral is really well-maintained, and it's a great visual experience. Highly recommend

House for an Art Lover, located in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow, is a stunning venue inspired by the unrealized designs of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. This art nouveau building offers various attractions such as art classes, theatrical productions, and a charming cafe for afternoon tea. The venue also features beautiful gardens, an art gallery, exhibition space, artists' studios, and a play park. It's a popular spot for weddings and provides a unique backdrop for couples looking to tie the knot.
If you love all things Charles Rennie Mackintosh, you will absolutely adore this wonderful house and contents. It’s hard for me to add much that you can’t see from my photos but I can also tell you the welcome we received was so warm and friendly and made us enjoy it all the more. So many museums start their words to visitors with all the don’ts but here they said ‘feel free to sit on the furniture, touch things and even play the piano if you can and would like to!’ - I can and I did 😃 Bellahouston Park has a lot to offer and this house and gardens are a must. Enjoy!

You're in for a treat with a delightful evening of magic and a fantastic three-course vegetarian meal! Here's a review emphasizing the excellent service: An Enchanting Evening: Superb Service and a Delicious Vegetarian Feast! What a truly magical evening! From the moment we arrived, the experience was absolutely enchanting, not just because of the captivating magician but also thanks to the impeccable service and delicious vegetarian meal. The catering company truly outdid themselves. Each of the three vegetarian courses was a culinary delight, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. It's clear a lot of care went into crafting a menu that was both satisfying and flavorful, proving that vegetarian dining can be incredibly exciting. Every dish hit the mark, leaving us thoroughly impressed. Beyond the food, the welcome we received was incredibly warm and inviting. The team greeting everyone set a wonderful tone for the night. Their genuine smiles and helpfulness made us feel instantly comfortable and valued. Throughout the evening, the catering staff were attentive, efficient, and exceptionally friendly, ensuring drinks were topped up and every need was met without ever being intrusive. It felt like they genuinely wanted everyone to have a fantastic time, and that personal touch made all the difference. Combined with the dazzling magic show, which was a spectacle of wonder and skill, this was an evening of pure enjoyment. The seamless coordination between the entertainment and the outstanding catering truly made for a memorable event. If you're looking for an evening filled with great food, fantastic service, and a touch of magic, I highly recommend this experience! Also this was all for £45. Value for money. I would have paid £65 for this. Truly amazing! Ps thank you, Kate, for sorting out my Vegetarian request. 😊

The venue itself is stunning and well set up for a wedding and the grounds offer plenty of verity for pictures.

The staff have always been welcoming and nice and the food is lovely and I am looking forward to more visits in the future.

Food was fantastic, and we loved the place. The service was a bit slow and I had to remind them about us a few times. It would not have mattered normally, but we were keen to see inside the house, and the gardens. We did manage to rush round the house and the shop, and buy things, but we didn't get to see the gardens, as it all closed. We will come back, but next time we will come in the morning, see things then eat lunch, so we can see more after lunch too.

We got married here this past Saturday and I cannot say enough good things about this venue! Mackintosh is my favorite artist and everything about this venue was amazing. The staff was so helpful and kind and made everything go smoothly even when hiccups happened with weather and vendors. We were able to just sit back and enjoy the day to the fullest. Farooq, Amber and Amanda helped me the most - thank you! And my parents did a lot of planning and organizing with Kate who they really loved working with. The rooms to get ready were spacious and well stocked with coffee and tea. The meals served were also absolutely incredible. Thank you all so much for a truly spectacular day!

What a brilliant place. So so interesting and inspiring could have sat in the main hall and just watched the world go by for hours. Truly a lovely couple of hours. So many spots just to sit and take everything in. The one thing I would say isn’t needed is the really naff Spotify playlist ruining the stunning music room. I understand wanting to put some music on but maybe find something suited to the period rather than classical versions of pop songs -it was so off putting ( I wanted to marvel at the design and instead I was being pulled out by Bon jovi by a full orchestra 😂) . I Usually I dislike audio tourss But the one given out at the desk is great! we had some tea and cake after in the cafe which was really reasonably priced. We will definitely be back in the better weather to walk the grounds and see the art there 🌹

Firstly it’s free which after visiting we couldn’t believe. There is so much to see and do and we spent hours exploring all the exhibits. Inside is split over two floors with all areas wheelchair accessible. You can get up and close with vehicles of all shapes and sizes from old police cars, ambulances and fire engines to steam rollers, motorbikes and cars of every shape and size. It has a great selection of steam trains on display and we loved the old fashioned street display where it felt you were walking back in time and you could explore all the old shops and even subway train. There is a lovely wee cafe and gift shop too.

The Riverside Museum is a fantastic place to visit, especially as admission is free, making it accessible for everyone. Its location right by the river adds to the charm, giving visitors a chance to enjoy the scenic surroundings before or after exploring the museum itself. The building is modern and striking, and once inside, you’re greeted with an impressive collection that feels both inviting and easy to navigate. One of the highlights is the range of lovely old vehicles on display, from vintage cars and trams to classic bikes, which are fascinating to see up close. The museum is also very well thought out in terms of accessibility, with excellent disabled facilities that ensure all visitors can enjoy the experience comfortably. It’s a place that combines history, culture, and atmosphere beautifully, making it well worth a visit.

This museum is a really good day out. Tracks the history of transport from the beginning to now. A good variety of interactive displays to keep the interest. Good for kids and adults. Has a cafe to grab lunch or a quick bite to eat. Well worth a visit.

Amazing place, one of the best museums we have ever been to, got there at opening time, stayed until around 3.00pm, great coffee, great soup...... The displays are very well laid out with lots of interesting info. The ship conveyer belt was so cool. Great to sit in an old underground train and watch the movie from the 1940s, also the Coronation tram, the old shops and street were so well done..... Love seeing the Caledonian Railway 123 loco, still have my Triang/Hornby one from the 1970s :) Not all about transport, plenty about Glasgow life. The Tall Ship is worth a visit too just behind the museum.

A very good place to visit with children. A good collection of old cars, bikes, and a train, and how the streets look. It feels like you have time traveled and are seeing the past with your own eyes. It will feel very nostalgic to the elderly who may remember a few things from their childhood. Free to visit.

Glasgow Science Centre is a top science and technology museum in Scotland, known for its interactive exhibits, planetarium, IMAX theatre, and cafes. With around 300 hands-on science exhibits spread across three floors, visitors can enjoy an educational and entertaining experience. The center also features a Planetarium that offers insightful shows. Visitors can engage in various physical and endurance tests while learning about upcoming scientific topics such as Big Data.
Great day had by the family at the science centre! Lots of interactive activities to get brains of all ages ticking. Lots of areas in different STEM topics, all of which we enjoyed! On top of the entry tickets, we also booked tickets for the kids planetarium show which came at a small additional charge, but would recommend as it was brilliant.

Brilliant day out at Glasgow Science Centre! We had such a great time, with our 6 year old daughter, there’s loads to see and do for all ages. The interactive exhibits kept everyone entertained for hours, and it’s clear how much effort goes into keeping everything engaging and educational. The staff were friendly and really helpful, and IMAX 3D cinema was a highlight. It’s one of those places where you can easily spend the whole day without getting bored. Definitely worth a visit if you’re in Glasgow, whether you’ve got kids or you’re just a big kid yourself!

The Glasgow Botanic Gardens is a truly magical place. The variety of plants from all over the world is amazing, from rare species to vibrant, colorful flowers that make every corner feel special.

The greenhouses are wonderful, have lots of interesting plants which are thoughtfully laid out to create beautiful displays. There are also a lot of statues and history in the main greenhouse. If I lived in Glasgow, I would visit here every week.

The Lighthouse, located in Glasgow, is a renowned exhibition space and visitor center dedicated to architecture and design. It serves as Scotland's hub for showcasing the country's talent in these fields through various events, workshops, and exhibits. The building also features a viewing platform offering stunning panoramic views of Glasgow. Designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1895, it remains an iconic landmark in the city and is conveniently situated near the Style Mile.
Mackintosh’s former office tower now offers rooftop views over his city. The spiral staircase’s 134 steps are worth it – each landing has quirky design exhibits. The museum shop sells Rennie Mackintosh postcards printed since the 1960s.

I spent almost 1 hour there with other friends. It presents a great deal of the Scottish arts, however I don't really like the organisation there. It should be reorganized. The open view from the top of the stair way is great for spotting attractions in Glasgow
Hung B — Google review
The building was very nice, the best part of the exposition was the lighthouse itself. The stairwell went up to the very top and made it incredibly worth climbing all those flights of stairs. However, it is not accessible to everyone, if you need to use the lift you can only access a different part of the building that shows you part of the view to the city but you cannot go where the stairwell takes you. Toilets at the lighthouse weren’t great. They had some funny signs but the woman’s toilet seats felt like they were about to fall off the wall if you sat down.

Great place, hidden in the lanes of Buchanan street but worth visiting. Has several museums. To see this staircase you need to go through the Mackintosh hall on the 3rd floor. It would've been great if they had a map of glasgow on the top, so you could easily guess what building is what. Otherwise, fine 👍🏻

A building designed by Glasgow favourite son Mr Charles Rennie McIntosh although you don't really get the flavour of it from the outside due to the tightness of Mitchell lane and the close proximity of the adjacent buildings. The tower itself is not by McIntosh but a later addition but has great panoramic views of the city below, so worth the visit but beware I counted 220 steps to the top!

Modern art museum
The Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) is housed in a stunning neoclassical building in Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow. Originally a townhouse, it has transformed over the years into a prominent center for contemporary art since 1996. The gallery features an extensive permanent collection and hosts temporary exhibitions, workshops, and artists' talks. It aims to showcase the work of local talents as well as international artists while emphasizing common influences and practices across the globe.
When you visit Glasgow, you won’t miss the Gallery of Modern Art. Not only is the unique building a must-see, but the statue of the Duke of Wellington outside also perfectly captures the Glaswegian sense of humour. The museum itself is relatively small, focusing on modern art rather than historic pieces. However, the interior is filled with interesting works that showcase local artists. I highly recommend starting from the top floor and working your way down. You can easily spend two hours exploring everything within the gallery. The museum also has a gift shop and is free to visit. While donations are appreciated to maintain the facility, they’re not mandatory. Additionally, the basement serves as a local library and coffee shop. Overall, I highly recommend visiting this museum and being open-minded. Even if the art doesn’t suit your taste, take the time to understand why the museum chose to display those works.

They say art is the eye of the beholder, and in this case, my eye was not impressed with any of the artwork. There was a reasonable sized collection, so it is worth a look as your tastes may differ. It is free to enter. It was architecturally worth a look. I particularly liked the glass ceiling. There was a small souvenir shop. It was very reasonably priced and had a good selection. The staff were polite and helpful. Young children would not find the gallery interesting. However, there was an art area to distract them. The building is accessible for people who use a wheelchair. There are lifts and ramps available. They had wheelchairs for loan. There were accessible toilets. There were tactile models and audio descriptions. I also noticed they had a quiet room.

Highlight of my day was wandering around this lovely museum! The exhibits aren't huge but have very cool, eclectic pieces. I felt intrigued and reflective and inspired, which is what one would hope for from a museum visit. There's also a library downstairs so I had a great time just chilling there reading. All in all fabulous experience, so nice to exist somewhere and not feel like your main purpose is to spend money (disclaimer I did buy a postcard for £1).

It is a large building in the centre of Glasgow and it has a strange layout that requires a bit of navigation to get round. It is over several floors but there is a lift that opens at either end depending on the floor you want to exit. Modern art is always hit or miss. I enjoyed some exhibits more than others. Cafe and library in the basement, shop opposite entry which sells many unique items, so worth a look.

I find the museum a bit disappointing. The exhibition space is quite small and I wasn’t very thrilled by what was presented there. I love modern art museums but this one was a bit dull.

I loved the swirly coloured glass panels in the windows. And the mirrored mosaic in the pediment (triangle on the top of building). That and the sculpture of an English Duke with a traffic cone as a couvre-chef announce that we are in for some contemporary art. As an art and library person, I have a selection of library photos to share, as the art will likely change, to remain current.

Every dish was well-prepared, fresh, and full of flavor. The ambiance was cozy, and the service was courteous and prompt. If you're someone who prioritizes taste over quantity, this place is definitely worth a visit. However, if you're expecting generous portions, you might find it a bit lacking. Still, for the quality of food and the overall experience, I would recommend giving it a try!

Been to Chaakoo a few times now and the food never disappoints! Every single dish we have tried we have loved. The curries are so authentic and full of rich flavour. Would highly recommend the lamb madras the tender meat in the spicy sauce is a winner. The vegetarian lentil based curries are also top of the list to have, so much flavour packed into the dhal. The pakora still has the Scottish swing to it, crispy and delicious. The interior is very cool to sit and enjoy a meal in and the atmosphere is always great to enjoy with a large group of friends to share curries with!

We had a nice dinner overall. The food was tasty, but the portions were quite small. We were two people and ended up ordering three portions of rice and four main dishes — it sounds like a lot, but it really wasn’t. The lamb biryani was average, as the lamb was overcooked and a bit tough. On the other hand, the butter chicken was excellent, followed by the chicken masala and the garlic cherry chicken, both of which were very flavorful. The prawn curry, however, was just average. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which we appreciated. However, the cutlery wasn’t very clean, which took away from the overall experience.

A friend and I enjoyed dinner last night at the Chaakoo Bombay Café. We ordered and shared several dishes: paneer butter masala (a wee bit spicy for me) Chana mushrooms Jeera rice and the lemon rice (I preferred the lemon rice) 🍋 Aloo gobi Daal makhani Raita- creamy yogurt & chunky veggies- .loved it. And a Diet Coke. The food was nicely flavoured and tasty. The bill came to 51.64, which included a 10% tip. I am visiting from Montreal for a few days and it should be noted that of all the restaurants in Glasgow, this is the restaurant selected by my friend- a compliment to Chaakoo! 😊 There are cute old photos from India on the wall. The atmosphere is lively although a wee bit too loud. As well, I would encourage our waitress to slow down a little. She dropped a dish off and did not take the time to ask if we wanted anything else. I would also encourage the portion of rice to be a little more generous

My husband and I were extremely surprised of the quality and taste of the food. Not your traditional British Indian, but outstanding quality flavours and presentation. Small plates which meant that you could try samples of more food than you would normally. Would really look forward to coming back to try all the other dishes. Cosy ambience too.

The atmosphere is bustling street food cafe with quirky signage and a large bar. Food is tapas style so multiple are meant to be ordered but I had 1 dish, 1 naan and 1 rice and was absolutely stuffed and couldn't finish it all. The saag paneer was delicious and the peshwari naan soft, fluffy and sweet. Have been here a few times before and would go again. Staff were super attentive.

Greeted immediately by friendly staff who seated us at a table within minutes. The atmosphere is immediately chilled and welcoming. My friend had visited before, however the staff took the time to explain the menu to us and give us their personal recommendations. We went for 3 dishes each, as the portion sizes are like tapas. With a naan bread each. This was easily enough each! I recommend the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, spiced cauliflower starter and peshwari naan. The food was all delicious, served quickly and came hot. Plenty of drink options to accompany the food and the staff are always passing by if needed to assist. We couldn’t leave without finishing their highly recommended desert, the Gulab Jamon. Overall a great experience, the prices are affordable and food is delicious. Will definitely return.

European restaurant
The Gannet is a stripped-back urban bar located in Glasgow's Finnieston area, known for its industrial rustic decor and compact European menu. The restaurant has gained popularity for its chef Modou Diagne's remarkable rise from being a penniless and homeless refugee to running his own restaurant. The Total Trust no-choice menu offered at a bargain price has impressed many diners, despite occasional disappointments with certain dishes.
Went here for an anniversary dinner with my partner. I think it's a great place for this type of special event. The prices are high, but it is to be expected for this kind of place and I think the quality of the food, the presentation, the atmosphere, and the staff all match up to the expectations of the price tag. We tried the set menu, which includes 2 starters to share, 5 main dishes and a dessert. We didn't go for the wine glass pairing, instead opting for just a bottle to split. The best way to describe the food is amazing, it was all delicious, it was all fresh and the presentations were impressive. The seasoning on the focaccia was a real pleasant surprise and it reminded me a lot of dry cured meat flavours. The starters overall were quite good, and all the mains were amazing. It's hard to pick a favourite, so I will refrain from it. I also really enjoyed the dessert. The staff were great throughout the night and the atmosphere and decoration are very nice. Great place, too bad it's closing at the end of 2025, but I'm hoping that what comes next is just as good at least.

My photos will not do the dishes justice. Creative, innovative dishes locally sourced and seasonal. All the great quality and care that went into each course, we felt and tasted. It was an experience. Each bite told a story about the restaurant, and the intention behind the dishes. The pine infused Old Fashion was a nice surprise. Altogether my wife and I absolutely enjoyed our time and look for forward to our return. It was our first visit to the UK, Glasgow and Islays. A nice surprise was the cheese charcuterie compliments and added bonus dishes along the food journey this night. Great vibe and generosity is what we felt.

An unbelievable experience! The food was utterly sublime, with every bite being a taste sensation. We took the 6 course tasting menu, as was an afternoon sitting, we didn’t choose the wine pairings. The cocktails were amazing, from a new twist on an old fashioned to the pink fizz! The staff were great, they explained every course in detail and were very attentive throughout and we never felt rushed, even though we were there for over 3 hours. Brilliant food in a lovely setting, we can’t wait to return!

The Gannet showing yet again why it's the best. Impeccable food, unbeatable hospitality and beautiful and well thought-out surroundings. Everything from the snacks to the souffle and the soundtrack in between was faultless. Kevin's hospitality and knack of making everyone feel at ease and welcome is second to none, Amy's attention to detail and charm is amazing. Of course Peter and his team in the kitchen as always are plating up some of the best food in Scotland with the highest quality of produce whilst paying attention to the seasons and still offering affordability. For me it is Glasgow in a restaurant.

George Square, a civic square in Glasgow, is named after King George III and was laid out in 1781. The square is adorned with an impressive collection of statues including Queen Victoria, Robert Burns, James Watt, William Gladstone, and Sir Walter Scott. The Italian Renaissance-style City Chambers and the Merchants' House are prominent buildings surrounding the square. Additionally, the Town Hall with its 230-foot tower stands at the east end of the square.

Whether you’re passing through or taking a moment to relax on a sunny day, the atmosphere is lively yet peaceful. The view, especially with the City Chambers in the backdrop, is simply breathtaking.

Definitely worth a visit if you're exploring Glasgow

George Square is a famous place in the centre of Glasgow. There are big statues, old buildings, and usually many people around. But now the square is under construction, so some parts are closed and not so nice to see. It’s still a good place to walk by, but not the best time to visit until the work is finished.

The "renovation of the century", a complete transformation of the square, is currently taking place on the square. It is completely fenced off, nothing can be seen from it.There is a hole in the tarpaulin, through which you can look into the square to see the construction work.

The Finnieston is a casual restaurant and cocktail bar in Glasgow, known for its locally-sourced seafood and bespoke beers. The interior boasts rustic wooden furniture and exposed brick walls, creating a stunning setting to enjoy expertly crafted cocktails alongside inventive and delicious seafood dishes. With a focus on sustainable Scottish seafood, the menu offers steamed Shetland mussels, oysters, sirloin steaks, handmade silken tofu, and an extensive collection of gins.
We recently had our wedding meal and evening reception at The Finnieston and couldn’t be happier with how our day went!! From our first visit to the Oyster Bar as a potential reception venue we knew from speaking with Zoe that this is where we wanted to host our wedding. We were also offered the option to hire their outdoor courtyard for our meal which we knew would work perfectly for our vision. Zoe was so professional, warm and friendly throughout the entire process. She was super communicative on email and would keep us updated with any suggestions from her team as to what they could with for us. Nothing was ever too much and she was so flexible between menu choices, drinks lists, venue decor and set up. On the day itself, the team were incredible and we all felt to well looked after. Despite the unpredictable weather (storm Amy!), Zoe and her team went above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and the venue was set up exactly how we had envisioned. The food was absolutely delicious, from bar snacks on arrival to dinner and our evening buffet, we couldn’t be more grateful to the chefs and kitchen team for the food they delivered on the day. Everyone was raving about it. A special thank you also goes to the bar tenders working in the Oyster Bar who were nothing but charming and professional throughout the entire evening. Thank you a million times over to Zoe and everyone else at The Finnieston. We had the BEST time and will hold a special place for this restaurant for years to come. See you again for our first anniversary?!

Enjoyed dining at The Finnieston today. It’s got a great atmosphere—exactly what you’d hope for in a British pub that specializes in seafood. I kept it simple and went with the fish and chips. The food was good, the service was quick, and the prices were reasonable. Probably about a 4 out of 5 stars, and I’d be happy to return.

Unfortunately we had reserved for lunch and were so looking forward to our experience which was lacking to say the least. They had none of the gins I was looking for even after having almost 100 on the menu. Then came ordering food, the waiter didn't write anything down so of course forgot we had ordered 3 Oysters. When our mains came they were what we would call side plates. We really couldn't get out of here quick enough. Sorry but not for me, overpriced and nothing special.

We’ve always been fans of The Finniestone and it really helps that they are doggo friendly But we loved our dinner on the Thursday night so much we came back on the Friday lunch when we came through Glasgow on our way on holiday. Both outstanding. Plenty of gluten free options - and one big one worth a mention is the gluten free battered squid - not sure what they make that batter with but it was delicious with a really nice dip. Oysters = amazing - actually had one of the best oysters of my life on the Thursday night. My friend said the same. Seabass ceviche = delicious. Oh the fired mackerel was sooooooo good. I want a fan of the peach thing with it but that’s just me, my hubby loved it. I loved the fennel (I think it was) Mussels both times = banging This place also does the most beautiful New Zealand sauvignon blanc. My hubby and pal LOVED the mac and cheese with brown shrimp in it and a seafood crust. I had a cheeky taste and it was good (I’m gluten intolerant not coeliac). But the good news for coeliac’s is that they have a GF frier! The only thing these guys could do to excel more and we are being really fussy here, would be: GF DF Mac and cheese on the menu - I think it would be popular GF fish supper / fish fingers - opening the option up to a wider audience Oh and my hubby said he would like more of the seafood crust on the Mac and cheese - like a layered vibe. He just really liked the crust. I realise we are being very demanding now - can’t wait to see you next time

Scottish restaurant
Alston Bar & Beef is a stylish and unique steakhouse and gin bar located below the Gordon Street entrance of Glasgow Central Station. It prides itself on carefully sourcing top-quality Scottish steak, with the beef coming from accredited farms in the Tweed Valley of the Scottish Borders. The restaurant offers a wide range of 35-day dry-aged steaks, including options for sharing, as well as other delectable dishes like peanut-crusted cod and caramelised cauliflower.
We booked our table at Alston through First Table (50% off food), and it was an amazing experience. The restaurant is tucked under Glasgow Central, offering an atmospheric setting with a unique vibe. It was exceptionally muggy in Glasgow and the temperature was just perfect below the stone arches. For starters. We had the Scallops and the Reuben on toast, both delicious and a decent portion. For mains we both went for the fillet, my friend got hers rare with mash and peppercorn sauce. I love a blue steak but from many a disappointment I went for rare too, however the amazing and super friendly server came back to say the chef was confident he could cook me the perfect blue steak and if not we would get our starters for free! Challenge excepted!! Holy steak 😜 it was perfect… .unfortunately 🙄 I have walked past this place on numerous occasion’s and didn’t even know it was there and what amazing food they offered, and a wee cool bar side seeing as all the bars have been closed in the station, had it not been for First Table I would probably kept walking past. They need to up their marketing. Super lovely staff, fantastic food and setting. X

Couldn't recommend this place enough, service was absolutely out of this world, so attentive. Lauren I believe served us alongside other staff but she stood out for her customer service, she deserves a raise asap. The mains were delicious, my steak was cooked to perfection and my partner's chicken was juicy and flavourful. Unfortunately the starter I had ordered just wasn't for me, nothing down to how it was cooked or presented I just didn't like the taste! I couldn't comment on dessert as I don't eat sweets but we would be back. The cocktails are fantastic and again the service is next to none. My birthday dinner was definitely a hit! Ps that roasted corn can I have a weekly subscription or the recipe please?😂

Lovely place for a steak with a really cool setting underneath the station. The steaks were good but the chateaubriand was a bit overcooked.

Stopped in here on a Sunday night to get my Sunday Roast fix, and am so glad I did. Dispute being crowded, there was no wait to sit, and the waitress was friendly and provided great recommendations. To start, I got the gin fizz, which had a great citrus flavor. For my meal, I had the three course prefixe. My starter was the chicken thigh which was juicy and well seasoned. The labneh was the perfect touch, but the crispy chickpeas were not my favorite, so I just picked around them. The roast was delicious. Very moist with large helping of mashed potatoes, roast potatoes and carrots, cabbage and peas. The gravy has a rich beef flavor and I loved the soft and fluffy Yorkshire pudding. I was very full at this point but had to taste my desert. I chose the Margarita Cranachan. This was my first time ever hearing of this dish but it did not disappoints. It was a rich cream with berries, oats and a faint tequila flavor. I couldn’t eat it all because of the huge portion, but I’m glad I gave it a try. If you’re in the area and have time for a nice bite to eat, I recommend giving it a try.

Amazing restaurant and the service was exceptional. Our hostess accommodated us even though we had missed our original reservation by an hour. (Story for another day, blame it on graduation pictures.) We sat at the bar upstairs and Ben, our server/bartender & wait team, gave us such exceptional service that we shall definitely be back when we visit Glasgow. The drinks were perfectly crafted just for us, catering to our unique taste. As for the food, the flavours of the dishes we ordered were all spectacular. The seasoning was so on point. They crowned the graduation lunch with a surprise cake and the dessert sorbet was delicious.

Drinks were delightful. Service was stellar (and they were FULLY booked on a Thursday at 8pm; but we shared the 2 tiny hi-top tables near the bar and had an amazing dinner). Dessert was worth going for all on it's own!

We had a really wonderful time at Ardnamurchan. We arrived in Glasgow on a cold, rainy day. The local restaurants were already booked for dinner. We wandered around trying to find a place that would take us for dinner after our long journey. The host person at Ardnamurchan said they were fully reserved for the evening, but found a little spot for us out of kindness. We both ordered the Cullen Skink, it was the first of several we had over the course of our travels through Scotland, and it was the best… no competition. We had a few other dishes as well, everything was delicious and well prepared. The desserts were also phenomenal. I will be traveling back to Glasgow again in the future and Ardnamurchan is at the top of my list of best places to dine in Glasgow!

Scottish restaurant
Stravaigin, a restaurant with a name derived from an old Scots word meaning "to wander aimlessly with intent," offers gourmet dishes made from unconventional ingredients like grey squirrel, hedgerow herbs, and sea urchins. Since its opening in 1994, the restaurant has been known for its experimental flavors and sustainable sourcing of local and global ingredients.
We got caught in the rain during our visit of the Glasgow university buildings, and just picked a spot that was nearby. It turned out to be a very positive surprise as we came along this lovely Scottish restaurant. It was a bit crowded but luckily we got a table and enjoyed some amazing dishes and drinks. It is a bit more on the pricy side, however you get amazing dishes for your money and very attentive service.

We had a reservation at Stravaigin last night for a business dinner during a work trip to Glasgow. One of our guests was travelling with their dog, and according to the website, dogs are welcome on the ground floor. Since there’s a quiet and comfortable area downstairs that seemed suitable for a business meal, we made our booking with a clear note stating that we’d be bringing a dog and that it was a business occasion. Unfortunately, when we arrived, we were told that our table had been booked upstairs—where dogs aren’t allowed. When we pointed this out, the staff checked and confirmed that our note had indeed been included in the reservation, but it had simply been overlooked. Mistakes happen, and we understand that. However, by the time we arrived, there were no free tables left in the quieter area on the ground floor. Instead of making an exception and allowing the dog upstairs in light of their own mistake, we were asked to wait and were eventually seated in the very loud pub area. It was far from suitable for a professional conversation. Sorry Stravaigin, but we communicated everything clearly in advance—both the business context and the presence of a dog. If that information is ignored, the customer shouldn't have to bear the consequences. A customer-focused solution would have been the right thing to do. Based on this experience, I can’t recommend Stravaigin for business dining or for situations that require flexibility or accountability.

What a great experience visiting Stravagin! Food and team were stunning. We had a table for three tucked high in the mezzanine… we all loved that location and will be asking to be sat there again. 2 of our party ate from the Sunday roast menu… for starters… soup of the day which was extremely flavourful, and seared cauliflower with hazelnuts and curry leaves… I highly recommend this dish it was delicious! These were followed by the roast rump of beef, which was tender and cooked to perfection, and all the accompanying vegetables cooked perfectly, special mention for the hispi cabbage … and the onion purée. Our other diner chose the a la carte menu… grilled sardines to start cooked to perfection.., followed by a loin of venison cooked to perfection. We forced ourselves to have dessert…none of which disappointed. Fantastic crème brulle, and a velvety chocolate cremaux, and i really enjoyed the quirky serving of Brie with brioche and onion chutney. Can’t wait to return to this gem of a Glasgow restaurant again soon. Well done to all the team.

Could not recommend highly enough! We booked the cellar for our wedding celebration and from the first contact, everything has been perfect! Jade was so lovely and helpful in helping us get everything sorted before it - nothing was too much trouble. On the day, Olivia got the room ready for us and it was perfect and ensured we had everything we needed all night. The food was incredible and all our guests loved it - everyone kept talking about the mussels!! But what made our night truly special was the staff! The service was absolutely brilliant! The cherry on the cake was the gigantic tiramisu for dessert which was amazing! We can’t wait to be back! Thank you again for everything 🩷

Amazing food, we went there for a birthday celebration. The muscles were super fresh, great pork belly and probably the best haggis we've ever tried. Our server was super helpful in making our choices without being pushy for any item. I only have one thing to fault the restaurant, and it's that they didnt put on the menu that there was an added 10% service charge. We would have left a tip otherwise. However, really good experience overall.

Tried out Stravaigin after being recommended and it did not disappoint. Had the mussels with the red sauce and it was the best part of the meal . Had some starters and haggis which unexceptional. Was a bit disappointed in the ice cream of the day - it was an oat meal cream with an oat biscuit, not the best combination but probably a poor choice of dessert on our part . Great selection of whisky , with a whisky menu which I believe is new . They didn’t have the whisky I wanted but the staff were kind enough to recommend one and even price match to the one I had initially asked for! I’ll definitely be coming back to try more of their menu . Great interiors btw

Stravaigin truly delivers on its motto: “Think global, eat local.” The food was outstanding - creative, beautifully presented, and full of flavour. I was especially surprised by the attention to detail in even the simplest dishes. The green side dish, in particular, stood out - perfectly cooked and bursting with flavour. It’s rare to see such care put into every element of the meal.

Park is massive, and something for everyone. They have good size playing area for young children. They also have toilets 🚻 which is a rarity now a day's. Plenty of seat/ benches along the way. On lovely sunny 🌞 day definitely worth a visit. Pack a picnic, have an enjoyable afternoon out. On Dumbarton Rd Plenty of places for food,/ drinks.

Despite the cold, rainy, and windy weather, our visit to Kelvingrove Park was unforgettable. The entire place felt like a living piece of history—every corner seemed to whisper stories of the past. The rain only added to the magic; historic buildings seemed to dance under the drops, and the moody sky gave everything a poetic charm. It was one of those rare experiences where even bad weather couldn’t ruin the beauty—it actually made it even more special. A must-see in Glasgow, rain or shine.

A large beautiful park in the city of Glasgow. It has flower beds, fountains, skatepark, bandstand, bowling green, croquet area, ponds, and children's play areas. The River Kelvin runs through the park. There are lots of benches so you can easily find somewhere to relax, listen to the bird song, and watch the world pass by. There is good access for people who use a wheelchair. The paths are wide and hard surfaced. Some are steep, but it is possible to find an alternative route. There are lots of maps, but some of these are up too high for a wheelchair user to be able to easily read them. You can walk your dog here.

Park was super busy today, and it was great in the sunshine! We sat and chanted some mantras and my toddler dragged me to the park 5 times! She absolutely loved it and there was so much to see! Wish there more toilets though, as the museum is a bit of a walk when you are bursting! Make sure and go before you visit. Love this place though, super chilled when when it's hoaching!

There is a large family play park where kids of all ages can have a go at the various swings, slides etc ..that includes us Adult kids. The burrel collection museum is also located within the park, (which has recently been refurbished) and is free to enter, there is a beautiful cafe in the museum as well as a souvenir gift shop. The grounds are also pretty spectacular with lots of paths and little routes to guide you through the park. There is lots to see and hear including waterfalls, amazing plants and greenery, as well as the overall sound of nature. Definitely a must visit for all.

I recently visited Pollok Park with my family, and we had an absolutely fantastic time. The park is beautifully maintained and offers a perfect mix of natural beauty, open spaces, and interesting views. Children play area was really nice and had lots to do. The kids loved seeing the Highland cattle and exploring the woodland areas. A great spot for a picnic, family walk or just some quiet time away from the city. Highly recommended.

Great place to explore after we landed in Glasgow before checking into the hotel. Great way to see Highland Coos, explore beautiful grounds, and more. We wanted to walk and chose not to go in to see the art because of limited time. The Pollok HOuse was closed, but looked very impressive from the outside even with work being done. Lots of people walking dogs and lots of families. We had much better opportunities to see highland cows later in our trip, but it was fun to see them here on day one and learn about them.

We decided this was going to be our next port of call for somewhere new. It definitely didn't disappoint. We had no booking although it was early enough and got a table no problem.🙏 the menu was great, lots of choice and the food was very, very good, in particular the lamb, seabas and the chorizo stew 😋 cooked to perfection. The staff were very lovely with just the right attentiveness. We shared 6 tapas loads, and we had no room for dessert 😀. The reason I didn't give it a 5 star was the decor . There was something missing, maybe more colour or a different type of lighting. I couldn't quite put my finger on it ( the candels and fishtank were a nice added touch though) Decent prices. GO

This is a place that serves Spanish tapas. While the paella was enjoyable, the sweet potatoes and prawns were rather average. The menu is somewhat limited, and a few of the main dishes were unfortunately unavailable during our visit. Service could be improved, the waiter appeared inexperienced, often needing to consult the manager for basic requests such as seating, menus, and the bill. The room itself is poorly furnished, especially the ceiling and flooring, looks a bit dirty. Well, the price was fair.

Unfortunately we have been very disappointed by the quality of the food. Maybe we were unlucky and got a bad day. Seefood Paella looks nice but it was tasteless and the see food consisted in 4/5 mussels and 4/5 calamari rings. Nothing else. Patata bravas tested more like chips with paprika. Other dishes also not really good. The atmosphere is very basic but ok although it was quite cold inside. Service also quite slow. We had to wait ages for everything. It is really a pity because there are no so many Spanish restaurants in Glasgow but this one does not bring anything good as it is.

Tried the Cubatas cocktail (vodka, passionfruit liqueur, cranberry, grenadine etc) - sweet and tasty! We went on a Sunday which had plenty free parking on the road outside.

Lovely cocktails and service. Spanish Afternoon Tea wasn’t my favourite as the choux pastry and scones were a bit dry. Loved the goats cheese and the Serrano ham, I feel they could have went more 80/20 on savoury vs sweet but felt there was more sweet. (Personal preference though because I would have wanted more ham portions). Server was lovely couldn’t fault the service. Atmosphere was quiet but I didn’t mind. Not sure I would go back in a heartbeat.

The Spanish Butcher in Glasgow is a trendy restaurant with a relaxed atmosphere, specializing in Spanish-inspired meat and seafood dishes. It's the latest addition from the team behind The Butcher Shop and Hutcheson's, offering an effortlessly cool design and an exciting menu. From Grade 9 Galician steak to 30-month salt-cured Iberico Jamon, whole Turbot, and grilled octopus, the restaurant showcases some of Scotland's finest ingredients.
Beautiful restaraunt, service from the staff was incredible. Explained the menu in depth and gave recommendations based on what we were looking for and generally just a very good and positive attitude which I feel can make the atmosphere of a place. Food absolutely couldn’t fault at all it was insane. It is pricey and there is a 12.5% service charge added which is quite steep however this experience was worth every penny. One of the best places I’ve ever visited and steak was cooked to perfection. You defo do need to book to get in here 😊

We visited the Spanish Butcher for a birthday meal. It was a 215pm booking and the restaurant was pretty empty. The staff were ok, but setting the standards low but when we got seated the chap was keen to walk away and we just about got drinks from him. He did come back with the drinks pretty quick but rushed off right away. Starters we got prawns and then scallops. Both dishes were nice. For mains we got the fish and I got gelecian fillet Med rare. The fish was nice and best part no bones. The steak was pretty decent for the price. It was seared very very nice. As it was my birthday meal the restaurant did give a card. Nice touch. If your reading this far your see why I dropped 2 stars on food. For the price the prawns was a good size but the scallops were really small. I should drop 2 stars we had a stone in the lentils and typically I ended up crunching down and chipped a filling. I did show the staff they said sorry and gave us a free dessert. Not 2 but one. Drinks was a reason I added a food star as they were really reasonable in price. Not a typical rip off with restaurants these days I’m not sure I would return. But would say this place is worth a shot

Best steak in long time. A lovely restaurant in a nice intimate setting. Courteous and attentive staff, quality decor, great setting. Food was out quickly and of high quality. We had chateaubriand, Scottish sirloin and gallacia fillet. All were cooked well and sides and starters with generous portions. Semi open kitchen which looked immaculate, along with rest of restaurant. One minor point is there was one diner with nut allergy as per booking which was not addressed by staff. We are careful, have pen ready and know nothing is guaranteed with any kitchen, but its strange for it not to be acknowledged. Will go back again, as lovely steak restaurants are a rare thing.

Phenomenal meal. Pimientos de Pedron are a favorite and they are great here. Of course the star of the meal was the chateaubriand. As others have said, it’s amazing. Just a hint of smoke on the char, cooked to perfection inside. Cauliflower and especially the mushrooms rounded out a terrific meal. Decent wine selection. - we went with a Napa Cab. Service was super-friendly and on-point. Just an all around terrific experience.

I had the pleasure to take my wee neice and big nephew to TRNSMT 2025 Friday night to see the proper good The Script. We walked through the south end of the park, it's a very nice wee park, lots of things to do. Even as we left around 10pm the park was still busy with lots of families enjoying the evening sun 🌞. We had a cracking good time, it's a well organised festival, definitely no like the auld T in the Park days. I have enjoyed many good events at the Green, going back to The Prodigy in the 90s.

My group stayed in Glasgow for the Worlds Bagpipe Championships these last 2 weeks. This was some of the groups 1st time in Scotland, including me and my daughter. My 1st impression was it reminded me of los angeles with the graffiti, homelessness, and some people on drugs tweeking on the streets. Our area was very walkable and we had no safety issues. Buchanan street was a nice visit with restaurants and shops. I loved seeing the architecture and art on buildings and my favorite part was visiting Pollock Park and seeing the Scottish Highland Cows and art museum. I was sad Pollok house was under renovation and closed but the Bridge and river were very beautiful. To get around town, we used Scotrail, Uber, taxis, or walked. Glasgow Green is a beautiful park as well. Scotland was so amazing!

We met family in the park and made the most of two of the playgrounds. The larger slides were a huge hit with the kids of all ages. There were a couple of picnic tables, which worked well for a visit. There was also a small cafe, which served a selection of hot and cold foods. We really liked the bike cycle hire that was available, which is part of a small charity, also teaching children to cycle if they don't have access to their own bikes.

This park is great for early morning runners! It has a greenway that goes around the entire park. I ran the side that goes along the Clyde. I would estimate from end to end on that side it’s about 1.5 miles on way. It goes straight into a recreational park full of soccer fields that you can also run around too. I felt very safe, the greenway has lots of trees and a wide path. When running past the Clyde, you may even see some flocks of swans. Seems to be a local favorite running spot!

The cocktails are bold and well thought out, made with house-made ice that's crafted using 1930s Glasgow techniques.

The view is very nice, about the same height as the buildings around the restaurant. So you have a nice side view over the city with chimneys, towers, older and more modern buildings. After chilling outside for a while until sunset on a warm sunny day, we went inside and had dinner. Even though some of the older reviews were not so good, we enjoyed the food very much. The staff was also very nice and accommodating.

The food was OK, but the savoury food was basically just little sandwhiches..no brioche buns or wraps. Scones were lovely and so were cakes. The view was nothing great. A lot of bird poo on the roof below. Room itself is quite dated looking. Finally staff were pleasant enough but never came back once to ask if everything was OK or if I wanted a refill of my coffee (which apparent you can get unlimited but I never knew as no on offered) so just a lack of attention. Over all the experience was OK.. but not really worth the money.

The restaurant it’s nice, an old hotel in a good location. the view is not good except for two tables in the corner. The food was okay, good portions, the pastries were good, the sandwiches a little bit simple but with a decent taste. The scones could be better (very plain flavor ) The service was just okay . they never explain how was the Afternoon tea’s service. they never checked if we need more tea of coffee. Or even water / Prosecco. We wanted to order a glass of prosecco but nobody check our table so we didn’t ask for it. If we would reader the reviews before go to this place , I’m not sure if we would choose it.

I would give the afternoon tea a miss due to the tiny scones, sub par quality jam and the cakes did not taste high quality or made in house either. Sandwiches we’re also under-filled and had bland fillings, staff did not check back just chatting by the till and were confused when I asked to remove their 10% service charge which was not mentioned when booking.

When I first arrived there was nobody there and after giving my booking name they asked if I was eating alone, though the booking was for 2 people. The view which was the main reason for booking this restaurant with a guest from out of town, was ok - it does look out over the city but mainly at seagulls and rooftops. The door outside whistled and rattled, periodically slamming open and shut, throughout the meal. The cocktail menu which says something along the lines of ‘if you don’t see your drink, as for it and we can make one for you’ but they didn’t have the ingredients for the cocktail I asked for from their own menu - I believe a french martini. I then asked for amaretto which they also didn’t have and gave up and took a plain gin and tonic. The drink my friend asked for also wasn’t available so she got wine. I had the thai curry and added chicken, followed by ice cream. The curry was pretty awful and very watery. The ice cream was fine. The service, food and drink were all pretty poor and I wouldn’t go back.

The restaurant specializes in hand-made fresh pasta, with a menu inspired by regional Italian kitchens from Lazio to Lombardy, Puglia to Piedmont. Diners can choose from nine different plates featuring comforting options like slow-cooked beef ragu on pappardelle or San Marzano tomato sauce on rigatoni.
I can honestly say that I have never been to a restaurant with as electric an atmosphere as this. It was quite literally buzzing and the vibes were immaculate. Situated right in the city centre, it was packed to the brim and had a compact menu of equally brilliant options. Whoever designed the interior, captured the mood this place would evoke to perfection. I recommend so so much to everyone

The pasta was tasty. However, the portion was underwhelming, there is no option to get a bigger size which is unfortunate. The price is normal for pasta restaurants but you could genuinely make 3 times as much at home for the price. If you are a group of people that want a place to chat and eat some good food and you don't have big appetites then it's a good place. The staff were very nice.

Very good pasta, but with a little downside. We had to wait 25min for a table (Saturday at 5pm, you can not reserve beforehand), but when we left, the queue more than doubled. Food arrived quickly, tasted very good but came in rather smaller portions. Service is friendly. It’s very loud inside though. The tiramisu was great!

Ended up eating here twice during our trip from Ontario. Would have to say the best fresh pasta so far! Would highly recommend if you are visiting Glasgow. There will likely be a bit of a wait if you go here during peak times.

Great flavour, we’d definitely come back again! Everything tasted fresh and delicious. We chose the specials of the day. First was the duck confit tagliatelle with tomato sauce - the duck was tender and perfectly spiced, and baby tomatoes were delicate, juicy, and didn’t overwhelm the duck. We also got the hake ravioli with langoustine bisque, served with a crisp pieces of samphire. The bisque was rich and fragrant, and the hake inside the ravioli was fresh and delicious. Both dishes were outstanding with unique and memorable flavours. One criticism: both pastas were undercooked beyond al dente. The ravioli was a bit crunchy in places, and while the tagliatelle was fine, it leaned towards chewy. That said, we still enjoyed every bite, which says a lot about the quality of the flavours, truly special. We finished with the tiramisu, which was absolutely delicious - one of the best we’ve ever had. Prices were reasonable, and even though it was busy, we were seated quickly. Sitting near the open kitchen was a lovely touch, great to watch the chefs at work. Overall, a fantastic experience with creative, high-quality food. (Though I might recommend requesting a softer pasta.) Highly recommend!

Some of the best pastas I’ve ever had! Really delicious hand made and fresh pasta, simple menu with lots of diferent options, the place is really big so you don’t have to wait long to be seated. Truly recommend it if you visit Glasgow.

Another visit to this vibrant place. Quick waiting time despite place being very busy. Food served within few minutes upon placing an order. Food hot and deliciously looking. Fantastic service from a young lady named Niamh. She went extra mile for me and asked kitchen for additional chilli and garlic on my pasta. Seamless service with a genuine smile and concern. Wonderful human being. Thanks guys. Until next time!

Food at Moskito is outstanding (voucher purchased through Groupon)…it’s 5 out of 5 delicious and the staff are lovely too. My only gripe about the place is that everytime I’ve been it’s been absolutely dead (like literally we were the only ones in the restaurant)…I can’t understand why because the food is great! Sadly, although the decor is cool and they have decent music playing, the atmosphere is just off when the place is so empty!

Popped in for Brunch and was not disappointed. Food was delicious, I had the smoked salmon eggs benedict and it was really good. Really nice interior and the music was great too. Service was outstanding, we were served by Cieran and he was friendly and helpful. Will definitely return.

The place looks amazing after reopening, vibrant atmosphere, modern and trendy. We really enjoyed the food! On the pricey side for Glasgow (portions are quite small) but really nice dishes and flavours, with great presentation on every dish. The menu is creative and interesting, but as it is meant for sharing I think they should be bigger. The cocktails look good, but we had beers when we were there. The desserts were excellent.

As always this place never ceases to amaze me. Food that’s out of this world. The service was fabulous. The staff all very friendly and the restaurant itself is cosy and very inviting. If you haven’t tried this place yet you need to try. It’s a dining experience like no other. This IS my most favourite restaurant in the whole of Glasgow 💕

Food was really tasty. We got there just before the kitchen was closing but the team were great and the dishes came out for a strong finish! I got the garlic, chilli curry which was rich with flavor, a garlic naan and a pilau rice which was cooked so well with lovely mild spicing running through it. Shout out to the staff who were really welcoming as we got there just as they were about to stop service.

Lovely food and service. One of the best Indian in Scotland. Highly recommend Dal Makhni and Roadside Lamb Curry.
Ashim G — Google review
The grilled lamb chops with roasted cumin new potatoes were perfectly cooked, tender, and bursting with flavor. The dal makhni was rich and creamy, while the sag paneer had just the right balance of spices. The aloo paratha was soft, flaky, and an excellent pairing with the dishes. The service was impeccable—prompt, friendly, and attentive to every detail. The environment was warm and inviting, creating the perfect setting for a delightful dining experience. Highly recommended!"
Indra K — Google review
The manager, chef and all the team are very very friendly and the food that we had the lamb chops, kheema pav, chicken tikka, goan curry was superb. I must say it was top class and the lamb chop meat was so soothing that it was melting literally on the tongue. I would recommend that a person must try their food once at least because if you have their food once then you will come again for sure. It's my pleasure to be here and looking forward to come here again for sure.

A Hidden Gem in Glasgow. Absolutely blown away by our experience at Lansdowne Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a cozy charm that made us feel instantly relaxed. The staff were incredibly welcoming and attentive, striking the perfect balance between professionalism and friendliness. The menu was creative and well thought-out, offering a delicious selection that caters to both adventurous eaters and comfort food lovers. Every dish we tried was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour—special shoutout to the Indian famous street food Vada Pav, all time favourite Parathe and curry. which was cooked to perfection. Drinks were equally impressive, with a well-curated wine list and cocktails that complemented the food wonderfully. It’s clear the team here takes pride in every detail. We left already planning our next visit. Highly recommend Lansdowne to anyone looking for a top-notch Indian dining experience in Glasgow.

The Glasgow Science Centre Tower, also known as the Millennium Tower, holds the Guinness World Record for being the tallest full-rotating freestanding structure in the world. Standing at 127 meters high, it offers sweeping panoramic views of Glasgow's city center and surrounding landscape. Designed by Richard Horden and Buro Happold, this impressive structure can rotate 360 degrees, providing visitors with a unique vantage point.
It was a bit tricky to find the entrance but it was a great experience. You can have a nice birds eye view of the city. Plus, our guide was very knowledgeable about the history and the area. It's only 9.5 pounds (around $13) but you get to be at the 2nd tallest structure in Glasgow and have an awesome city view as far as the mountain ranges. I recommend it for sure. Note that they are weather dependant so if it's raining or windy they will be closed. So, better check the weather before confirming your visit. Do not recommend pre-booking.

Peter M — Google review
Good, enjoyed it, but not great. Conveniently located next to science centre, but because of that it only goes to the towers height from the river level. I've seen towers like this usually located on some elevation compared to city centre, which would be easily done with Glasgows elevation differences - the view could be way better at even half the current hight of the tower itself.
Paweł P — Google review
Great to see it open again so finally got to experience Glasgow from high up Check website before travelling to see if tower is open but if it's not theres loads for the younger ones to have fun with at the science centre itself... Cinema, Planetarium and more Staff were lovely friendly made to feel welcome

Finally managed to get up the tower today! Well worth a visit (come on a calm day as the tower closes when wind is more than 25mph). The view is stunning and you can see so much from 100odd meters off the ground. I've been up the Berlin Fernsehenturm and you can see way more from Glasgow tower (and the windows are cleaner)

Showed up a bit after they opened on what had been a gray and rainy day. We ended up being the first group up as they apparently can't operate the elevator when the wind is over a certain speed. The view was amazing and the guide was knowledgeable about the towers unique construction and the visible landmarks.

The Glasgow City Chambers, located in the heart of George Square, is a 19th-century architectural gem designed by Scottish architect William Young. This Victorian landmark, opened by Queen Victoria in 1888, boasts opulent interiors featuring Italian marble staircases, mosaic ceilings, gold leaf accents, and stained glass. Serving as the headquarters for the City Council of Glasgow today, it offers guided tours that provide insight into Scottish political and civic history.
Free tours are available weekdays 10:30 and 14:30, any it works as first come first serve basis, starting to give out visitor cards 30 minutes before the appointments. You can walk around the ground floor without the guided tour too which is already spectacular, but I highly recommend to join the tour - even though the guide's Scottish accent was so strong I just gave up listening after a while 😅. But it's my fault, the building is like Hogwarts indeed.
Viktor L — Google review
We had a great tour of the place by one of the tour guides although some places were closed due to meetings. However the architecture was amazing and definitely a hidden gem in Glasgow. Tours are however available at limited times only but it is definitely worth the visit.
Sen Q — Google review
Build during Victorian time this building and the architecture is priceless. The City Chambers is western Europe's largest marble staircase, built using Carrara marble imported from Italy. It is credited with having more marble than the Vatican. Must book a tour in advanced if want to see more. The only times that are being offered are 10:30am and 2:30pm Monday-Friday, excluding the public holidays etc.

We came here for a tour but we were told by the many stately doormen outside, that we were able to visit inside... ONLY to sign our condolences for the Queen, and then leave promptly. Promptly?! Well then! We said yes please and bowed ackwardly. (Come on! They were in suits, what would you have done?!) What a gorgeous and opulent building inside. The stairwell up to the "Book of Condolences" was quite the regal climb, but much more satisfying waltzing back down...nice and slow, regal like. Nothing like strutting down marble and red carpet. Too bad no one saw us though! We looked good.

Rouken Glen Park, located in the heart of Glasgow's South Side, is a beloved recreational space that has been enjoyed by locals for over a century. This 143-acre park offers open parkland, woodlands, streams, and a pond, providing a peaceful escape within the city. Awarded Green Flag status, it is teeming with wildlife and lush greenery. In contrast to this urban oasis lies Mugdock Country Park in the North side of the city.
Visited Rouken Glen Park and left feeling completely recharged — the fresh air, lush greenery, and sound of the waterfall were just what we needed. A beautiful, energising escape right on the city’s doorstep.
