Glasgow Restaurants: The Finnieston Bar/Restaurant, review Pat Byrne, 27th February, 2014
Tonight I spent a very pleasant evening dining with Maggie Graham at The Finnieston, 1125 Argyle Street, Finnieston, sampling their Best of the West Tasting Menu and Wine Dinner. The food was absolutely delightful and Frank Bradley did an excellent job of describing each of the four wines that accompanied the dishes. It was a […]

Please help the Clutha families There is only one Glasgow licensed trade story of any consequence, at the moment, and that of course is the Clutha bar disaster. As you will have seen in Pat’s regular updates and in mainstream news there are a series of benefit gigs planned in aid of the victims’ families, […]

What’s new eating and drinking Byres Road and Kelvinbridge
Sylvano no more You can’t turn your back on the local dining scene for five minutes without something opening, closing, or undergoing a radical transformation – as witness what until very recently had been Italian restaurant Sylvano’s, on the site of the former Persia restaurant at the foot of Cecil Street on Great Western Road. […]

Update West End Dining
Persia goes Italian Sad to relate, the highly-rated Persia restaurant on Great Western Road has closed, despite winning critical acclaim across the board for the exemplary quality of its cuisine. In its place, and just about to open, will be Sylvano, Italian bar-bistro, which I am guessing will aim to do a Latin version of […]

West End favourite is Best in Glasgow
I wish I had been the one who described this year’s glittering Scottish Curry Awards ceremony at the Thistle Hotel as – and I quote – “a swanky bash”. “Swanky”, best pronounced with a Kelvinside accent, is one of those words that hearkens back to the black-and-white memories of a bygone age, conjuring up images […]

Byres Road: gelateria opens as deli closes
Another Byres Road closure It’s being described as “a disaster” and “a tragedy” by many of its loyal legion of erstwhile customers – because sadly one of Hillhead’s enduring culinary favourites has finally shut up shop for good at the top of Byres Road.

Three cheers for The Halt Bar
One of the West End’s best-loved traditional pubs – one which can lay claim to having captured the real “flavour” of its bohemian milieu at least 35 years ago – is, we’re happy to report, well and truly saved. Last year the very existence of The Halt bar in Woodlands Road appeared to be on […]

Extraordinary cafes
No ordinary Cafe Cafes are places where you sip cappuccinos, perhaps scoff a roll and sausage, or – increasingly common in the West End – partake of sophisticated Continental bistro food, all amid cheerfully informal surroundings. That would be a short way of introducing the concept to someone – possibly from Mars – unfamiliar with […]

Cottier reborn
A fairly earnest feature article appeared in The Herald recently on the subject of Daniel Cottier, the Anderston-born designer and artist whose work is rightly famous almost everywhere except Scotland – where the experts all admire him but nobody else knows him at all. He was in his prime during the mid-19th century at the […]

Nice to see Mother India owner Monir Mohammed along with Balbir Singh Sumal and Satty Singh as three of the four ambassadors for Glasgow in the recent UK Curry Capital competition (the other local representative was Fattah Haddad, owner of the highly-regarded KoolBa in town) ? and all the nicer because the city won Britain’s […]
