Absolutely beautiful restaurant with fantastic service! We came for breakfast and ordered the…read moreFrench breakfast and the Croque Madam. We also ordered a plain croissant and a chocolate croissant. The croissants were so fresh, crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. The croque Madam was delicious, served on thick pieces of sourdough. Our best breakfast In Glasgow!

The menu is full of so many options to choose from and it's fair to say we are all notoriously…read moreindecisive when it comes to food so we took a while to order. So much so we were kindly given a pissaladière with caramelised onions and reblochon cheese as well as some olives to munch on while we contemplated our choices After making light work of the flatbread and with some help from the staff, we finally decided on the calamari, chicken liver parfait and charcuterie board to start. Even though I am not the biggest fan of seafood, I couldn't stop digging into (and reluctantly shared) the crispy squid with garlic, lemon and tartare sauce. The parfait with toasted brioche and apple chutney was equally delicious and was quickly polished off by us all. The chutney was warmly spiced and made the perfect counter point to the pâté. For the main I chose (again, with help from the waiter) chargrilled chicken with a mushroom, creme fraiche and thyme soon and potato gratin. I hate to say I left a a little on my plate. However this is because I work in an office where there is an allocated shelf for biscuits and cake only and I have no willpower. It could also be because I didn't stick to my own plate, sorry girls! The fillet steak was perfectly cooked and melt in the mouth. I'll vouch for that as I had a 'couple' of bites. The bearnaise sauce was perfectly creamy, but if we are honest the fillet was so good on its own so we didn't use much! My friend had the haddock wrapped in bacon with pea purée which she said tasted very fresh and firm. Again, I'll agree with that after having a forkful. The dessert menu was presented with immediate reactions of rubbing our stomachs and shaking our heads declaring we were too full, knowing full well we would cave and at least share one. The lemon tart was amazing - extremely citrusy with a slight crispy topping. Tarte au Citron is clearly a French classic and Côte paired it with Normandy Cream and fresh raspberries to make it absolutely perfect. My friends will definitely be making another trip here. Working on George Square means they can take full advantage of the lunch and pre-theatre menu which seems like a steal at £9.95 for two course and £11.90 for three. Côte also have a breakfast club that comes with a super cute croissant keychain that gets you a free hot drink with any breakfast on a weekday. Croque Madame anyone?

Incidentally, if you have a Cineworld Unlimited card you can get a discount - just make sure you mention it before they run up the bill! I'm not sure how long this place has been open, but I've only noticed it in the last few months, and any place that professes to offer both Italian food and steak is always worth a look! When we arrived, the restaurant was empty, so we were offered a choice of seating by the proprietor. The decor was warm and inviting, as well as terribly stylish and functional - the layout allows the maximum seating capacity for a fairly small space without being crowded. Service was quick, warm and friendly... just what you want. I ordered the house special calzone (ham, onion, mushroom) and my other half ordered Risotto Pescatora. When my calzone arrived, my jaw dropped. It was like there was an enormous whale of bready, cheesy goodness on my plate! The dough was lovely and soft, it was just bursting with all the lovely filling, and the sauce was to die for. Having pinched a bit of the risotto, I was very much impressed with how perfectly the seafood was cooked. Most places screw up the calamari, but it was beautifully prepared and fantastically tender. Everything was just fantastic. Honestly, I'm surprised the place isn't just filled to the brim with people. Maybe it was just the post-Christmas slump, but for a Saturday night it just seemed a bit quiet. I whole-heartedly recommend giving this place a go!

Space to seat two tables side by side comfortably but it wasnt claustrophobic due to the decor and openess of the staff. Once seated all drinks orders were taken, plenty of time to decide on meals, which i pitched for Risotto Pescatora. It arrived in quick order which was brilliant as it was fairly big, extremely tasty and well presented. The calamari (usually made like old tires) was succulent and tasty, the mussels and scallops (in the shell) were divine and with the shells still there it lended to a very attractive looking dish. Finally were the prawns which were huge, tasty and numerous. So to sum up this place is a must eat for anyone who likes italian food, i am very impressed with it and would happily return soon!

Amazing service!

There are few restaurants in Glasgow of the caliber of Chardon d'Or, if in fact there are any at…read moreall! Brian has won many awards and while he is born and bred Scottish he received most of his training in France and his menus reflect this blend of Scottish and French cuisine. This guy was spotted by the Roux brothers and was appointed head chef of their Michelin star restaurant Le Gavroche in London. So that gives you an idea of how good you can expect Brian's very own Chardon d'Or restaurant to be! The restaurant is in an old tenement building with big windows and high ceilings but is decorated in a modern minimalist fashion. This place oozes class with the "proper" table clothes, china plates and solid silver cutlery. The staff always look immaculate and are very friendly. Chardon d'Or is fine dining at is best but is never pretentious and you are always made to feel welcome. The menu is constantly changing as Brian likes to use seasonal ingredients but generally you can expect a modern take on some French and Scottish classics. From starter to dessert everything is intensely flavored and impeccably presented. You will be completely stuffed but you must keep going through all three courses. The sticky toffee pudding is orgasmic! The last time I ate here I remember saying to my friend, "These carrots are amazing!" It is very rare than anyone would describe carrots as amazing! Perhaps, "The meat was cooked to perfection", or "The sauce is wonderful", but complimenting the vegetables? But that's how good this guy is! Every component of every course will be individually divine and the combination of components will add up to three fantastic courses. If you book your table for later on in the evening you will get to meet Brian. After last service he always comes round the tables to speak personally with every diner. I think this is a fabulous touch and it is fantastic to know that Brian is actually in the kitchen overseeing all the food that is served in his restaurant. It is definitely worth checking out the website as there is always something going on at this restaurant. I have been to one of the cooking demonstrations and it was a fantastic way to spend a few hours. There are around 30 people there and you are all served a glass of champagne on arrival and then Brian personally demonstrates how to cook an amazing two course meal. You can ask him as many questions as you like and he will happily answer them. You are also given detailed written instructions home with you on how to cook the two courses yourself at home. You also get to enjoy tea or coffee and the two courses which have just been demonstrated to you, all for around £40 per person.

Warning: this review contains gratuitous cheese references…read more Deli Zola recently opened in the place of Deli 1901 and after reading Debs M's review I just knew I had to get along there, quick smart. The boards outside show a few interesting specials to tempt you inside - rose lamb hotpot with garlic bread, vegetable stew as well as some breakfast-type options of scrambled eggs. Inside it's nicely decorated - not too over the top with the Frenchness but there's a lovely chandelier, loads of seating, and a generally pretty cosy vibe. There's a deli section which has a chilled stacked with cheeses and meat, as well as pre-made croissants and baguettes. There's also a shelf of jarred French delights like marinated garlic, truffled mushrooms, terrine, goose fat etc, plus fresh breads, quiches and Christmas hampers. As you can probably tell, they've managed to pack a lot into this deli! I was keen to try the Croque Monsieur so asked to get one takeaway. They offered to heat it up for me but seeing as I wasn't going straight home I got it cold. They wrapped it in foil for me and gave me heating instructions which was handy. While I was waiting for my sandwich I gave into the temptation on the counter and grabbed a couple of pastries for £1.50 each (pastel de nata). Now - confession time - I did actually buy two of these and one was meant to be for my husband, but I ate them both. Woops. They were just divine, the crispy caramelised top was too much for me to resist. And I don't even have a sweet tooth. I also got a wedge of Gruyere (who can resist a cheese counter?) which wasn't bad value at £19/kg, and off I went on my way. I warmed up my sandwich in the oven when I got home and can confirm that it was just as delicious as it looks - cheesy, creamy, crispy and delicious. Yum. I want another one right now actually.

Magnifique! When I heard about this wee place opening I was…read morevery pleased indeed - a French deli? Oui s'il vous plait!!! Then when I discovered they sell one of my favourite French dishes ever, the humble Croque Monsieur, I knew I had to get myself down there. Popped in for a flying visit today and I definitely wasn't disappointed - it was bigger than I was expecting and was definitely a nice, cosy place to come into out of the cold! It was pretty busy considering it was about 3pm on a Sunday and had such a lovely atmosphere, really chilled out and just seemed like a good place to relax. I went up to the counter to place my order (to take away) and was told it'd be 4 minutes, nice and specific! I had a wee nosey while I was waiting and all the produce looks so very tasty. They had French cheeses and saucissons, as well as quiches, pastries, bread...among other things - mmm! The staff were very attentive and friendly, can't fault the service at all. The Croque Monsieur itself was totally delicious! I was determined to make it home before I ate it but I ended up scoffing half of it when I got in my car cause it smelled so good!! They also had the Moulin Rouge soundtrack playing when I was in which I loved, that's a plus for me! Definitely going to go back (hopefully sooner rather than later!) so I'll write an update on what the sit-in service is like too - can't imagine it'll be bad though!

The pork loin was over cooked, the potatoes were overcooked or old, I don't know which either way it wasn't very appetizing, the French Onion lacked any pizazz and the cheese was nonexistent, lastly the Crumble was nasty and bland. They had a dab of butter on top, I think that's what it was, this did not make the dessert taste any better. Overall this was very disappointing and the staff were not at all happy. Ugh would not be back thats for sure. Our tour guide said he had good luck here but this time he did not understand the bad behavior. The food was sub par to be a high end place. Looking around the place where we were sitting you can see dirt and grime allover the air conditioning system , cobwebs in the corner and overall old and tasteless place not at all an high end place ambiance. If you can go elsewhere for your money.
