    What a lovely Glasgow gem. Having had the best salted caramel brownie at the Good Food Show from…read morehere I decided it was time to pay the sisters in Killearn a visit. A lovely 30 minute drive from my flat brought me here, through a lot of twisty-roads and beautiful country. On arrival, we got given the ugly duckling table of the place, ie not by the window. But after a group left managed to secure ourselves a few of the rolling hills and torrential rain. The menu is great, with a huge variety and GF/veggie options. I had the seafood platter which was huge, as in I struggled to finish it. (Obviously did). No half-portions here, 5 or 6 prawns, a huge helping of salmon, same with the mackerel pate and some incredible oatcakes with salad and dressing. The Dear Green coffee was bitter and black and just how I like it. My heart did want the Salted Caramel Cake with popcorn but it looked slightly too sickly. I opted for a classic brownie and was not disappointed. My friend's meringue with fruit compote and cream was mammoth! Well worth a drive, you can pre-book tables which I would definitely advise. Thanks to Imogen, our waitress who was just lovely despite how busy it was. Can't wait to try the Port Glasgow branch

    Having been to their Quarriers Village location and thoroughly enjoyed it, I was quite happy to get…read morethe opportunity to sample the sisters' newest cafe on a cold, but sunny afternoon. This location is a little easier to get to as it's situated in Killearn town hall. Arriving at just before 2, the immediately obvious difference between the 2 locations was that this is much busier than Quarriers. The place was mainly occupied by the lunching ladies of sub-suburbia, save for the odd lunching worker/working luncher. Due to the lunchtime rush the staff seemed to be a wee bit stretched, (the poor folk next to me had to ask for a latte a couple of times before the server came back to say she'd forgotten what they'd asked for), but thankfully I had no problems with the service. I had the tasting platter at the Quarriers location, so of course I ordered it again (after all it was tasty!). When it came out it looked the same, but somehow it was lacking some of its previous magic. Of course I couldn't leave without trying one of their amazing looking cakes from the counter, I went with the flourless tangerine cake (yes it is GF), which was fragrant and not too dry, it had a texture not totally dissimilar to polenta cake. Now it maybe second season syndrome or it could just be a matter of over familiarity, but there does seem to be something missing from Quarriers in this location. I don't know whether it was down to the time of day (I visited Quarriers towards the quieter end of lunch), the fact that this is a somewhat new cafe or down to the glass & white wall environs, as I said it just wasn't the same.. Don't let that put you off trying the place out though, it's still a good cafe, serving good food & the view out across the hills is really beautiful (especially with all the snow). If I taste not time were the issue I'd choose Quarriers Village over Killearn, but otherwise you'll probably choose Killearn for its convenience & almost as good food.

    This is my favourite lunch joint near my work! The staff is fabulous, the restaurant is cute and…read morethe food is delicious. Susan the owner, I met on my first time in, is a doll. I had the Lentil Pine Nut Pork Roll special (see picture) and it was amazingly delicious! It sounded a bit funky but it was lovely. It came with a nice little side of greens with a vinaigrette. The dough that makes the 'roll' was my favourite part, almost like a crisp pastry dough. I followed my lunch with a wonderful almond raspberry tart. Yum! This time I'm trying the mushroom toast! I will let you know how it is!

I love Grace and Favour, admittedly I have only had cake and coffee on a couple of visits so far but from this alone I absolutly recommend it. Firstly the cake options are beautiful, and I was very happy to find they, on occasion, have gluten free/dairy free. I was fortunate to try the dairy free chocolate cake - amazzing!!! Coffee is by Dear Green, a little mild for my liking bit still enjoyable. The menu sounds utterly delicious and seems to have a fair selection of healthy option so I will soon be back to try this. The decor is stunning, staff have always been very friendly and chatty. A new great find, I will most deffinetly be back......soon!!

    This is a great restaurant. We are staying at the Premier and it is an easy .3 mile walk. Highly…read morerecommend you make reservations, regardless of when you show up. Outdoor seating is available. Both covered and uncovered. The staff is phenomenal. Very attentive. Great teamwork. Everyone makes eye contact and greets you. The food was amazing. It was done so quick and completely fresh. Those skinny fries you see with the Buffalo Mac and blue cheese, is classified as a side item. So much! The fish and chips were cooked perfectly. The batter is light, crispy and the fish is fresh and moist.

    So, I've emerged from Yelp semi-retirement for this sole purpose: to share the retro-fabulous…read moredeliciousness of Finsbay with you, the world. When a delightfully longer-than-anticipated lie-in thwarted our plans for a lunch-time south-side soujern, we decided to stay closer-to-home (read: within a 0.5mile radius) and finally try the lovely dog-friendly cafe/bar/restaurant we'd spied when first making the move west to Milngavie a couple of weeks ago. From the moment we walked in to excited cooing over the pup (which quickly escalated to doggy water bowls and a piled plate of doggy-heaven sausage), took in the effortlessly chic retro-inspired interiors - a wall mural of retro telephones and a converted retro tv fish bowl?!? YES PLEASE! - and wrapped our mitts around the handle of a glass tankard, we just knew we'd found our new local. With our pints of West Brewery lager in hand, we fawned over the surprisingly well-priced cafe-bar menu full of fun, modern-Scottish twists. The Light Bites, salads and sandwiches were immediately saliva-inducing but neither Lisa nor I could resist the Croque menu... me the Stornaway Black Pudding (yes, you read that correctly) and Lisa, the classic Croque Monsieur; each with the chef's own béchamel sauce. As if I wasn't already courting a coronary - I added a bowl of chunky chips; Lisa the chunky sweet potato chips. Our pal Laureen opted for the 6oz beer battered fish, chunky chips, peas and tartare for £6.50 (an upgrade to 8oz fish is +£1.50). Wow. Just wow. I'm an Eater from way back and - honestly - I'm typing this 6hrs later and still haven't even the slightest urge for dinner. The Croque was INSANELY good and the chunky chips, some of the best I've had. The combination of black pudding and buttered leeks was outstanding offset beautifully by top-quality Arran Cheddar. Lisa's Monsieur was perfectly translated: A-grade bread, proper Gruyere cheese and super-tender baked ham that just melted in the mouth. Laureen's fish'n'chips a beer-battered, white-fleshy-and-deliciously-flaky-fish triumph. And, those chips. Whether you're a Milngavie and surrounds local or up for an easy train jaunt (there's also loads of handy parking at Tesco or behind M&S) I wholeheartedly recommend checking out Finsbay. Warm, welcoming and altogether super cool, we couldn't have picked a better place to show-off Glasgow's dining delights to our London pal. With a monthly Gin club, open mic nights, special events and a cocktail list of dreams, we'll see you there.
