5. Ox and Finch
Rating: Good. "Ox and Finch has maintained its popularity and standards since first wowing the Glasgow in-crowd with its group-grazing approach back in 2014. Stylistically, this corner site creates a crowded and energetic neighbourhood bistro within a converted Victorian tenement building."
6. Ga Ga Bar + Kitchen
Rating: Good. "Amiable staff weave between closely packed tables distributing kaleidoscopic cocktails – pique your appetite with a bar classic from the 'Straight Up Swally' selection or perhaps brave the on-theme exoticism of a banana sesame sour. Meanwhile, a tsunami of tasty morsels races from the kitchen."
7. Big Counter
Rating: Good. "The concise but ever-changing menu of just 10 savoury and three sweet items feels like a scratch affair, devised according to available ingredients and the chefs’ fancies that day. You could strike comfort-food gold, although you might feel challenged if you're a vegetarian or a traditional ‘starters and mains’ kind of person; it's pot-luck with a homely feel."
8. Ubiquitous Chip
Rating: Good. “The restaurant serves up a tasting menu if you’re up for going full throttle; otherwise, stick to the carte where you can go from the Chip’s own venison haggis, via Loch Melfort sea trout, to heather honey and oatmeal ice cream.”
