My family accidentally left a bag of souvenirs at the restaurant. When we reached out, the staff responded and went above and beyond to help us. They packaged everything for us, printed the shipping label, and even helped ship the package all the way back to us in the U.S. They kept in touch with us throughout the entire process and made sure everything was taken care of. Not only was the food amazing, but the staff showed such genuine kindness and exceptional customer service. It's rare to find a restaurant that takes care of its customers this well, even after they've left! Thank you so much for everything. We truly appreciate your help and would absolutely recommend this restaurant!

We visited the Ubiquitous Chip on the very last night of out 12-nights visit to Scotland...we…read morewanted something definitively Scottish, with excellent food and drink options, and not too stuffy for an upscale spot to eat. That's exactly what we got. We walked to the Chip after visiting the relatively nearby Kelvingrove Museum. It's in a not-too-touristy area with tons of nearby restaurant options and hidden in a little alley (or "close") off Byres Road. There are multiple "venues" within Ubiquitous Chip - 2 bars (The Corner and The Wee...) We ended up at the Wee ahead of our reservation time, and the bartender guided us well with a dram after asking for something he thought was great that we'd have a more difficult time getting back in the States. (Ledaig). Both bars were pretty packed, so we wandered back and forth between the 2 until a spot finally opened at the Wee Pub. Our reservation was for the main dining room (not the Brasserie). There was a lot for us to enjoy as vegetarians. We rolled our own tasting menu with a plate of Scottish cheeses (typically a dessert item on Scottish menus, but we stand by the legitimacy of cheese for dinner). All 5 cheeses were vegetarian (ie no rennet) and served with a nice chutney and 2 different types of in-house-made crackers. It was delightful. We also had the BBQ Carrots dish...it's two carrot chunks, soft-cooked, charred on the outside, served on a delicious bed of sauces with a lovely Indian curry vibe. We got a salad with honey mustard dressing, fennel and shaved celery...it was very fresh and a nice counterpoint to the cheese and carrots. We also got potatoes, which were topped with creme fresh and light herbs. The potatoes were a little dry and light on flavor, but dipped in the creme and also in the leftover sauce from the carrots dish, they did the job. Service was stellar and friendly. Dining in the main restaurant makes you feel like you're outside. There are live plants everywhere, and a ceiling made up of windows like a greenhouse. You can see the brasserie, the more casual restaurant, on the second level (though, honestly, the main restaurant didn't feel unnecessarily stuffy like some fine dining restaurants. This was the perfect place for us to have a final meal in Scotland with plenty of food, drink and friendly service that left the perfect taste in our mouths.

The vibe tho is grown up, serene and subdued in the best ways, the cream walls were dotted with beautiful abstract art in shades of grey, there was a large fireplace feature, soothing just audible music, fresh red roses on the table (it was valentines!) linen table cloths. It was beautiful and even though it was jumping it felt like a calm and soothing environment. The staff were exactly what you would expect from a restaurant like the Sister - delightful. They were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the service was fast...probably faster than it normally would be due to the date, having said that I never once felt rushed or harassed - the staff were just sharp and on the ball with clearing plates. The menu at the sisters is like a love letter to Scotland, it was loaded with haggis, black pudding, fish, venison, beef cheeks, clootie dumpling and puff candy. It was like head chef Jackie O'Donnell had stepped into my childhood and brought all those foods into the 21st century. I could very easily have chosen any dish on offer from each course, it's an utterly lush menu. In the end I decided to try the haggis, neeps and tatties to start, I never took pictures of the menu so I forget the exact description of the dish. My first thought upon seeing my dish was wow! There was a puddle of glossy gravy, in the middle was a large haggis cake topped with neeps and a fritter....yes a freakin FRITTER!! I was beside myself as I am sure by now you know how I feel about fritters. The food was utterly gorgeous and without fault, the haggis was tasty and slightly spicy, the neeps were light and creamy, and the fritter was crisp and perfect. Gorgeous! For my main I finally decided on the Chicken breast with Stornoway black pudding, creamed leeks & a red wine jus with a side of Rooster tatties & market vegetables to share. Again visually it was so beautiful to look at. Taste wise it was amazing, the chicken was moist and tender, the creamed leeks still had bite and were seasoned to perfection, the big wedge of black pudding was soft and crumbly, the mash was silky and the red wine jus was lush and decedent. The side was also a triumph - the roasted potatoes were crispy golden nuggets of joy and the veg was incredibly tasty, I even liked the broccoli (I hate broccoli) but I loved however they cooked it. After all that food dessert was touch and go for a while, but there was no way I could leave without trying the Puff candy meringue with honeycomb, ice cream & hot butterscotch sauce. Now lets not kid ourselves this dish it basically a plate of sugar in various forms.....but boy what a plate of sugar it was. The puff candy meringue was light and delicate, the honeycomb was crunchy and sweet and the butterscotch sauce was thick and creamy. This dessert is as good as desserts get. It was a stunning gift from the sugar gods! All in all a pretty exceptional meal and up there with the best I have eaten in Glasgow without question. This is a must try restaurant for me and I will definitely visit again very soon.

It had a great variation of choice and I couldn't wait to go. I had booked lunch for 12:30 and found it a bit hard to find to be honest and the time I put enough money (fingers crossed) in the on street meter we were a tad late. We were sat next to a lovely cosy fire and ordered out starters straight away, 3 soups if the day which was a vegetable broth and one haggis, which was for me. When the soup came my gran gingerly told me it was cold and my mum and Megan agreed. Unfortunately they had to send it back whilst I tucked into my haggis which was lovely, so full of flavour and the gravy that was with it was lovely. For the main course myself, mum and Megan opted for the rosemary chicken with Stornaway back pudding and mash. My gran went for pork shoulder with apples and mash. Presentation was lovely and everyone thoroughly enjoyed their mains. When the waiter mentioned sweet, none of us hesitated and it was an OF COURSE response due to all the incredible things I've heard about the honey comb meringue and my god they weren't wrong. 4 bowls arrived at our table in a sea of hot butter scotch sauce, sprinkles of honey comb with the meringue sitting proud in the middle with honey comb ice cream on top and to finish more honey comb on that. WOW. The chef even wrote happy birthday on her plate and she was over the moon about that. Well with the money and we all felt satisfied without feeling we had over ate. Lovely place for lunch but next time I will be back to try their A La Carte.

The pub was packed with lively people, great conversation, and exactly the kind of atmosphere you hope to find in Glasgow. I ordered a Pornstar Martini made with passion fruit vodka, Passoã, passion fruit purée, pineapple juice, vanilla syrup, and a side of prosecco. It was absolutely delicious. Jon enjoyed an Old Fashioned, and of course we added two more glasses of prosecco to toast the start of another trip around the sun. One of my favorite parts of the night was listening to the delightfully crusty bartenders banter with everyone at the bar. They had the perfect dry humor that made the whole place feel authentic and welcoming. Sometimes the best travel memories come from walking into a place just because the name makes you smile.

When I was last here it was a pretty average Italian, but I had an inkling this incarnation could be a wee gem. First of all, what a building. I didn't know this until recently but it was an old Victorian railway station. If you go to the back of the beer garden you can still see the open tunnel and platform running under the pub, on the other side of the garden is a cricket ground. Yes, honestly! Inside it's a nice fitout and what is most impressive to me is the range of craft beer taps, with Jaw being particularly well represented. The menu isn't massive but perfectly acceptable, it is similar to most bars with gastro-pub pretensions. I chose the Oban Scallops with Ramsay's Black Pudding to start and a Salami and Pulled Pork Pizza to follow. The side of a GWR Pilsner was lovely. Yes, it took a while for the food to come out, but to fair we were warned, and we were happily feeding off the rays from the big, yellow thing in the sky. The scallops came and they looked a bit over-seared, but in fact they were just slightly over for my taste,still moist, but perhaps slightly overpowered by the black pudding. I would have liked an extra scallop to balance it out :) My partner loved her mussels with their creamy sauce. Another fairly long wait and our mains turned up, and dammit mine was wrong. It was a mushroom pizza instead, some bottom-feeder had taken my meaty pizza in lieu of his cheap lunchtime deal. You sir are a cad :( The server was lovely and really apologetic, and the replacement turned up very rapidly. And it was a rare pizza, thin as it improbably could be, and with plenty of topping. The best pizza aside from Paesano I've had for a long time. I had to double it up to eat it with my fingers, but any wait was forgotten. My partner really liked her cheeseburger and chips, the bun stayed together, the burger was solidly meaty and there was a wad of cheese. Pretty damn good, but please keep it to yourselves!

We started with drinks. 2 of us had the Joker ipa and the other 2 had the Magners dark fruits cider. 3 of us had the starter of the special soup of the day which was Cauliflower and blue cheese soup. It was so good that I'm going to have to try making it at home. For main course 2 had the Fish and chips. It was light and crisp. The tartare had capers in it which were delicious. The chips were fresh and actually tasted like potato. The Banana blossom was vegan and at first we thought it was meat. It has almost an artichoke like flavor but looks like shredded chicken. It was fried in the same batter as the chips. The meat eater had the Steak sandwich which they said was very tender. The Chips were in a metal container where they stayed hot even after the sandwich was finished. What they found most impressive was the gravy. He doesn't usually like gravy but smothered the chips in it because it was so good. For dessert we had the pavlova which was delicious. The service was wonderful. Everyone was very attentive. I definitely recommend making a reservation in advance which is easy to do online. Prices were very reasonable. We will definitely try and go back before we head back from vacation.

Recently refurbished, they have split the main bar away from the Bistro to allow children to enter and reduce the noise. Good plan! The menu has been overhauled and they don't have as many dishes on the menu as before which is a lot better for the kitchen ensuring quality over quantity. I ordered King Prawns with Calamari, my mom Haggis Fritters and my sister in law Black Pudding in Breadcrumbs with a Chilli Sauce. No complaints. They were tasty and well presented. We then ordered Balmoral Chicken, Fish & Chips and a Chicken Burger. Portions are extremely good for the price, food was cooked fresh to order and of a good quality. There was only 1 staff member within the bistro when I was in looking after 4 tables, which was okay but we did have to wait at times to be served; not her fault though. The dishes are a little expensive for a Bar Bistro in Erskine, but you'd expect to pay more if you dined in Glasgow for the quality and size of the portions. Our bill for 2 courses and numerous drinks for 3 people came to around £56. Not THAT bad when you think of it. All in all, the Whuppity Scourie is much better than it's predecessors and I hope it's hear to stay.

Taking its name from a Scottish word that means "to roam or wander about without a specific…read moredestination" Stravaigin serves a unique menu of globally inspired food and Scottish classics, including what many consider to be Glasgow's best haggis. Michelin recommended but neither starred nor bib gourmand, over twenty years of experience informing a Cafe, Bar and Cellar where locals gather amidst heavily wooded décor, lunch on Monday offers quiet respite from the streets with light music overhead. Friendly but fairly aloof in terms of service, the young waitress spending much of this slow service flirting with a bartender, Stravaigin's menu offers a good bit of customization whether one opts to partake a just a Burger, in courses or using small-plates as a sort of Tapas. Not neglecting Whisky across a Cocktail list, Elevenses a smoky Citrus masterpiece, the "wee" portion of Haggis is perfect for one with four-bites of liberally spiced Offal alongside equal size quenelles of Potatoes and Rutabaga. Spanning south for fried Bitterballen, straight out of Germany with smoked Ham, Fish Fritters get a bit muddled by the aggressive heat and creamy dressing while Carrots are unevenly cooked but pleasant in a mix of Nuts, Beets and unnecessary Tofu. Uncertain why any menu would offer both Flan and Creme Caramel for Dessert, though locals seem to prefer Cheese regardless, an Italian riff in the former was small and smooth but frankly unmemorable in either a negative or positive way.
