Best restaurants in Finnieston and Kelvingrove

Argyle Street through Finnieston has the best run of restaurants in the city, and Kelvingrove is right next door. If you’ve only got one night, eat here. Our Finnieston guide covers the bars and shops too.

Ox and Finch

Still the easiest recommendation in the city, and it has a Michelin Bib Gourmand. The plates are small and made for sharing. Get four or five between two and add the chips. Best for a first proper Glasgow dinner.

• Where: 920 Sauchiehall Street, G3 7TF. oxandfinch.com

Crabshakk

The Wee Shakk has been selling Scottish seafood since 2009, and the menu changes every day with the catch. It’s a wee room, so walk-ins squeeze in at the bar and everyone else books. Honest take, it isn’t cheap, but the quality holds up. Best for oysters and a glass of something cold.

• Have: Lindisfarne oysters (£4.50 each), mussels in white wine and cream (£17), crab linguine (£25) or a whole lemon sole in brown shrimp butter (£40). That’s the sample menu from late August, and the real one changes daily.
• Cost: Most plates are £10 to £40, with the langoustines and lobster on top, so about £35 to £60 a head before drinks.

• Where: 36 Kelvingrove Street, G3 7RZ. unalomebygc.com

Gloriosa

A bright restaurant and bar serving Mediterranean-influenced food, with wine from small independent European producers. The plates are for sharing, and the menu changes with the seasons, sometimes daily. It’s dog friendly, and the bar tables suit dogs best. Good for a long lunch with a few glasses.

• Have: On the sample menu, the ricotta gnudi (£19), pappardelle with pork ragu (£19), grilled sardines (£18) and braised squid (£20). The clafoutis is baked to order, so allow 25 minutes.

• Open: Tuesday to Saturday from 5pm, with food until 9.30pm, plus lunch on Thursday to Saturday. The a la carte page says lunch starts on Wednesday, so check when you book.
• Where: 1155 Argyle Street, G3 8TB. bistroelevenfiftyfive.com

Mother India’s Cafe

A small modern European restaurant on Great Western Road with an open kitchen, run by Chef Director Colin Anderson and listed in the Michelin Guide.

Ranjit’s Kitchen

A small family-run kitchen cooking Panjabi food the way it’s made in a Panjabi home, not a watered-down restaurant version.

Best for the cheapest proper veggie feed in Glasgow.
