A small eatery, the decor is very attractive and the good use of mirrors makes one feel it is larger! The tables (around 10 I think) are placed at a very comfortable distance from each other, allowing for privacy and intimacy whilst dining! It is run by a man and there are only waiters serving it appears. We went for high tea arriving at 5pm. The menu was excellent with plenty of choice! All four of us opted for the steak pie and we were truly in for a treat! Helpings were plentiful without being O.T.T. The food and the plates were piping hot! The meat was beautifully tender; the flavour of the the beef and gravy was gorgeous and topped with oodles of delicious, buttery puff pastry. This excellent pie was served with carrots, garden peas, boiled and roast potatoes (all very tasty and expertly cooked). The staff were very professional and asked if we would care for some tea, coffee, scones and cakes after our meal. We did so and thoroughly enjoyed home baked current scones with butter and our choice of cakes from a large tray brought to our table! The ladies' was very hygenic and feminine to fault! We chose to drink iced water with our meal. For all of this it cost a total of £38 only! Harrington's deserves to go big but, perhaps, the owner prefers to keep it small and homely and it would be spoiled otherwise! Tourists in Glasgow or Edinburgh would love this restaurant, I'm sure as would local people! Apologies that I could not find the location on the Qype Map but the telephone number is provided if you're interested! It's very easy to get to by car and is off the M8 motorway between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Just take the Harthill cut off (c. 20mins drive from city centres). A huge thumbs up to Harrington's Restaurant!

just a short note about this resturant if you havent tried…read moreit yet you are of your head. Ok its a little of the busy road but its worth a visit. John and Lyn and all the staff are great.My youngest daughter loves going to visit them almost every week. loves when she gets to pick her own cake.My family would tell anyone to try this resturant and see if you can beet it any where else for taste and service also add to this its great value for money. If you cant finish your meals they ask if you would like a doggy bag.John always asks if there is anything that he can do for you all through the meal. No one is pressurised into leaving the resturant until they have finished there meal.

It was a rainy day: drizzling : that consistency of rain that makes you feel a bit run down. I was met with the most delicious, warming coffee: a very smooth latte, that had such a lovely taste that there was no need for a drop of sugar. They were out of most of their pastries by the time I sat in--due to their popularity, I have no doubt. I chose one of their remaining items: a small cake that had a touch of lemon and a raspberry on top of a creamy frosting. It was delicious--a welcomed treat when I felt in need of a pick me up. I did not have a chance to test their food so am unable to comment. Do note however: This is a VERY small place. Cozy to be sure, but small and by no means for larger groups. It is ideal for the soloist and duos to come in and have a fairly quick coffee, cake, and food (I assume). This is NOT a place to study. There are no comfortable lounge chairs, chairs or tables. The seating is composed of stools that reside at two bars. It's kind of reminding me of Italian style cafes where you drink your espresso at the bar, across from the barista who just served it to you (though in Rome, they don't offer you stools even!). Given the level of their coffee and cake, I'll be back again soon.

A hidden gem on Duke Street, The Coffee House serves up a surprising selection of good food, from soup and sandwiches, to brunch and baked goods, which are decadent and delicious. Their coffee and cake deal is a bargain at £3.50, with generous servings that could feed two, if you can bear to share. The counter is always crammed with top-quality cakes and you can choose from a sinful selection to accompany your cuppa. If you fancy a bit of brunch, you can have all the trimmings, including eggs how you like them and Belgian waffles with bacon and syrup. My brunching boyfriend assured me that his bacon brunch was delicious and that the waffles were wonderfully fresh. Whatever your whim, The Coffee House is keen to cater and welcomes brunchers, coffee 'n' cake connoisseurs and lunch munchers. I'm glad it's in the east and has its feet firmly planted on the ground, with purse-pleasing prices and good mood food.

Laboratorio is a unique name for a coffee shop. We were greeted by a wonderful staff and noticed that they were quite busy at the time we visited. The store is small, with seating both inside and outside. They also have pastries available, but we ended up just getting the coffee. I ordered an iced latte, which was probably a mistake because it was a bit diluted and the coffee flavour was weaker. My partner got the hot version, and it was much better because you could taste the beans more clearly. Overall, I was very satisfied with the coffee. Just a reminder to avoid the iced latte next time! Good service and great coffee!

The sandwiches look and taste awesome, where the flavours really do compliment each other. There are a few sweet treats available in the right sizes, nothing worse than the usual massive wedges of gateau or meringue that you normally see. I would like to think that this would be one of my regular haunts from now on.

I only had a cappuccino and a chat with the guy running the place but the service was warm and friendly and the coffee was excellent.

I had the eggs Benedict, which was the perfect portion, cooked to perfection, and left me wanting more. The sauce was light and mixed with the egg in a way that was just indescribable. The French toast with bacon offered a great mix of sweet and savory. Syrup was available if you wanted it, but honestly, you didn't need it. My wife had the fluffy scrambled eggs, creamy, cheesy, served over toast with bacon and hash browns. This is something she gets often, and she has had none better than the ones here. The service was excellent. It's not the biggest restaurant, but the tables seem to move fairly quickly, and they have outdoor seating on warmer days. The whole experience was a delightful way to start our day. So if you happen to be in Glasgow, Scotland, you have to check out the Wilton Street Pantry, you will not be disappointed!

The reservation that we made was worthwhile as they were booked past 1 PM when we arrived at 11:30 AM. They offered a mix of indoor and outdoor seating. We were seated inside and attended to right away. Our server was excellent the entire time we were there. The menu was condensed with some tempting choices. My wife opted for the Avocado Toast, which was loaded generously. She enjoyed it quite a lot. I tried the marinated cherry tomatoes, prosciutto, mozzarella, rocket, pesto and smoked almonds on toasted sourdough. I was likewise happy with my selection. I can also report that the coffee was very good. My wife had a Macchiato and said it was quite nice as well. Including the food, drinks and a small tip, the total bill was £36. At £18 per person, this was not cheap but I had no problem with the value. The experience including the food, the service and the vibe all added up to make this worth the cost. If we're in Glasgow again, we'd be happy to do brunch here again.

The staff are incredibly friendly, and you can tell they a steady supply of daily repeat customers. There is a small seating area but it is definitely more geared towards take-away. The food is not going to beat the likes of Piece but if you find yourself in Bridgeton and in need of lunch you could do a lot worse than Sucre.
