An independent tearoom in the West End of Glasgow, the best spot I know to chill on a busy day or warm up on a cold one. Shisha pipes on the terrace, books and games inside, 80 types of tea, good vegetarian grub and sinful cakes by request.

This is the best diner in Glasgow. Great menu range, bucks fizz on offer and all sitting on old corporation train seats. A real find!

Three great restaurants. Relaxed and friendly atmosphere; superb fish with stunning desserts - the trio of creme brulee was superb and enough to share.

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.

Great restuarant on Dumbarton Road in the West End, just a little further down the road from the Partick railway bridge. Fantastic, honest and well-prepared Scottish food with an interesting, ever-changing menu.

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!

If the smell of Bradfords made my teeth nervous, then the pineapple soufflé — a wobbling mound of yellow cream, coated in icing, atop a pastry base — had them screaming in protest. This camp confection was appropriately packed with sweet, synthetic fruitiness. The walls, if you licked them, would surely taste like the powder-pink icing of the delicious Chelsea buns. Cakes, sandwiches and more substantial dishes are all homemade on site, but this is not a place for serious gourmets. It is old school, lace-doily tea at its finest, and the best way of escaping a Sauchiehall soaking on a grim day.

The only south Indian restaurant in Glasgow (most Indian restaurants do northern cuisine) and the food is amazing, offering authentic, well-prepared, tasty dishes not tried before.

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.

Wonderful food, although to be honest I can't get past the fabulous lamb curry. Incredibly busy with lunchtime specials from under £3.00, but a la carte is excellent too. Take away, sit in the cafe style downstairs restaurant, or in the more traditional upstairs restaurant.
