Go there for the best pizza and coffee in the city, friendly and efficient service and a great perch to watch some of the weird and wonderful locals amble past.

Great to take a friend or sit with the papers and watch the world go by.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19655 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17199
Not cheap but worth every penny. Don't miss it - the two TV chefs borrowed the name, with permission. Named after the first to open at 88 Dumbarton Road.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/17199 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13344
On the doorstep of The Isle of Arran, great golf courses and other attractions.

Very nice restaurant and bar, and the rooms were very clean and comfortable too.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13344 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12791 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12791 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12459 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12459 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11779
Friendly, non-pretentious service. Always busy and lively. Bring-your-own wine policy means that this is always a cheap place to visit.

The neighbourhood isn't the greatest but don't let that put you off. We have returned and returned and returned and returned!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11779 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11738 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11738 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11723 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11719 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11719 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11718 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11718 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11686 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11686 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9348 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/9348 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8854
Rice is combined with lentils to make wonderful dosas, idlis, vadas and uttapams. They are combined with sambhar (dal), rasam (tamarind dal), dry and curried vegetable and pachadi (yoghurt). Also cater brilliantly for vegetarians.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8854 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8845 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8832 They also do very good organic fairtrade coffee, and their own soups, ciabbattas, sandwiches and, mostly recommended, cakes.
Staff are very friendly and nice. You can dine inside, or even outside on the pavement, weather permitting. The cafe has a very "east-side" unpretentious look, but the quality on offer is not matched by more pretentious cafes in the city centre - so it is worth visiting Dennistoun on the east side to eat at Tapa.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8832 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8827 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8827
