    Baked potato with salmon
    Briony C.

    As Michelle M said, there was a lot of branding/promotion of the Hyndland Fox before it opened, and I'd seen lots of tasty looking plates of food so was keen to check it out. We visited for lunch on a roasting hot day, and sat in the mezzanine. This area is really nice - looking down over the restaurant and at the kids running around on the playing area at the school. There wasn't always staff on hand though, so it was easy to feel a little forgotten about. That being said, when they was staff around they were all exceptionally lovely and friendly. I opted for a baked potato and appreciated that gluten free options are marked on the menu. There's a few options for your baked potato: cheddar and coleslaw, tuna mayo, cottage cheese and salmon, or beef chilli. I opted for the salmon and was really, really impressed with the presentation - cut hasselback style and the topping was in a ramekin to the side. Nice! Sadly, the potato was actually quite disappointing - it wasn't seasoned, and the potato was pretty much just mush rather than having any outer crisp or inner fluffiness. The salmon mixture was nice, quite chunky, a very generous portion and there was a nice mix of leaves on the side. For the price (£6.50 for a potato!) I really don't think that they should be dishing up substandard potatoes. When you go to pay the bill, you might notice your card receipt says "The Corinthian Club". Sure, be a G1 venue, but at least admit it and don't try to hide it behind the Peckhams brand.

    Chilli & Parmesan Chips
    Michelle M.

    After seeing #followthefox branding pop up over Hyndland (where my boyfriend lives), I've been waiting in anticipation over the restaurant/cafe opening. Hyndland needs new blood and a new brunch spot! I went to HF the day before the grand opening for a 50% off Preview Night that we were invited to. The design of the place is stunning. I love the decor A LOT. The tables are rather small but upstairs they have the most perfect tables for people watching and more room for bigger tables. Downstairs, they have a lovely area for 4/5 people that I'm also DYING to sit in. Moving onto the food and service.... The staff were very friendly and attentive. It was also nice looking into the kitchen as well, for the nosey person that I am. We decided to share a starters of Pigeon and Black Pudding Salad with Pine Nuts and Apple Sauce. It was delicious. The lettuce could have done with a little drizzle of dressing and I do feel that the apple sauce didn't really bring much to the plate but the pigeon and black pudding combination was delicious (and cooked perfectly!). For mains, I ordered the Rump Steak Sandwich with Wild Mushrooms and Tarragon Cream. The waitress asked if I wanted it Pink or Well Done. I asked if it came with fries and she said no, so I ordered a side of the Chilli & Parmesan Fries. A little while later, she returned and said the sandwich came with thin cut fries but told the chef to give me the chilli ones in it's place. The sandwich arrived and it certainly looked lovely however, it was well done which made me a little sad. I didn't say anything to the waitress as I tried a bit of the steak and it was tender and tasted really good. The sandwich as a whole was again, delicious. The fries were a little bit of a letdown. They were skin on hand chopped (which are great, very soft and fluffy too!) however, there was no chilli/parmesan flavour other than a few shavings and a spinkle of chopped chilli that went to the bottom of the little tub. I was expecting the fries to be coated in parmesan crumbs and more chilli. The fries were good though, just wish they had more flavour! My boyfriend ordered the Sweet Potato and Bean Burger. It was a rather large breadcrumbed patty and I tasted a little bit... the flavours were really good but was a little too mushy for me. Ross really enjoyed it though, except his fries were a bit cold. After a short break, I decided to order the Macaroon and Berry Cheesecake. OH MY GOD. It was AH-FRIKIN-MAZING. It was like eating a giant Tunnocks Snowball. Honestly it was one of THE best cheesecakes I've EVER had. EVER. Even though there were a few niggles, I'm excited for this place and can only assume it will get better and better. I really want to try brunch there and probably will this weekend.... so will report back again on that! The menu is very good and it was really hard trying to figure out what to order, so many things I want so little time :)

    My Cod & Chips!
    Cory M.

    A friend and I decided to grab a meal out on Sunday night and he suggested the Hyndland Fox. It was pretty quiet, comfortably so and we took a seat upstairs and settled in. A friendly waitress came and took s drink order and dropped off the menus. A short while later drinks were served and our orders taken. My friend had the Sunday roast, and entire mini chicken arrived with all the trimmings, I ordered the Cod and chips and a healthy portion hit the table. It tasted great, well cooked fish, crispy batter and chunky hot chips. £11 for that, yes a bit pricey but this is the west end! I didn't see how much the roast was (reports and lack of eating conversation said it was well tasty!) but the bill was £27.50 for two mains, a nice guest pint and a soft drink. Guess this is about the average these days. The Hyndland Fox is well worth a shot. Nice atmosphere and the staff were friendly and efficient. The food was fresh, tasty and well cooked and overall the place was just what we were looking for. Will go back for sure!

    I came here for breakfast, and if there is one thing you need to order it's the Brioche French Toast with maple syrup and bacon because it it a revelation. To me, it has got to be one of the best french toasts' in town! Hands down. The bacon is crispy, the brioche fluffy and tasty with cinnamon. I absolutely love it and I think it would happily eat more of this! The staff is really friendly, and the decor is lovely and fresh and very calming. I ordered a macchiato, upon which I got a really rather strange stare and a slightly flabbergasted response, as this is not something that is ever ordered. Either way, it was exactly the way I like it. It was strong and wonderful. For always I want to recommend this place to everybody with a special mention of the brioche french toast!

    Go here for brunch on a rainy day with a couple good friends. I've been a few times, the breakfast is great you have a choice from healthy light options to the full fat boy Scottish breakfast. Saying that even the fat boy breakfast is cooked well and isn't oozing with grease. The interior is warm and upstairs feels like a cozy cottage on a cold wet rainy day.

    Fresh salad with butternut squash, chickpeas and deliciousness
    Aviva J.

    I absolutely love this place. I first saw the restaurant while I was out walking and noticed how cute the exterior was. I also saw it was packed, which is normally a good sign.My boyfriend semi-jokingly thought maybe it was packed because it was trendy. But I had a good feeling about the place and wanted to try it out. Well, the feeling I had was dead on. Not only is it incredibly charming inside, but the food is delightful. Everything on the menu sounded tasty, which makes it hard for me to pick something because let's face it... I want it all. I ordered a arugula salad with avocado, wild rice, chickpeas, and more deliciousness. It was so good I cleaned my plate. I could have eaten more, but it is a tad pricey so I held back on ordering another dish. Anyway, I highly recommend this place. Oh and I've had nothing but good experiences with the staff - always really friendly which is important to me.

    Wild mushrooms on toasted brioche
    Crystal L.

    Came here for dinner with my boyfriend and a friend after driving past it so many times so we were really looking forward to trying something new! Initial impression was good - we thought the decor was great and simple, nothing too in your face! It was also much larger than what it appears from the outside, we were surprised and impressed. We were greeted by a friendly waitress immediately, which is always a plus - especially since it was quite busy when we got there. The menu was good and it didn't take me long to decide what to have. For my starter I ordered wild mushrooms on toasted brioche which was soo amazing - I would've quite happily ate that all night! For my starter I had a duck shepherds pie, it was accompanied with some roasted carrots and parsnips - which I absolutely hate so I never ate any of it. The portion of the pie was very small considering it was £13, so i expected it to be fairly decent in size with some decent sides. I didn't think it was particularly tasty either, quite bland. So basically my impression of the hyndland fox started off as excellent and ending in disappointment. All the meals on the menu were probably on the more expensive side, and the portions where not that large or that tasty. But it is still newly opened and still have room for improvement.

    Sunday roast
    Peter P.

    Glasgow may not be the restaurant capital of the world, far from it but it does have its gems. This quaint restaurant in the West end is definitely one of them. My two friends and I, stopped in for a late supper last night and had a great time. It is a quite two floor restaurant with very trendy decor that really sets the atmosphere for a great dinner. I ordered the lamb which was cooked perfectly while my friends had the burger and duck shepherds pie respectively. I tried some of each and they too were delicious. We also had the three cheese Mac to split which was creamy and simple, everything you would expect from a good Mac and cheese. The waitress serving us was incredibly sweet and made the entire night even more enjoyable than it already was. She came to check up on us often and offered great advice on beers to try as well as main courses. Probably one of the best waitresses I've ever had at a restaurant. I will definitely be coming back, especially since we missed out on the Sunday roast, because it ran out.

    Lisa's Full Breakfast. Now can you see why I coveted it so?!

    Had a delicious dinner with fabulous friends in the Hyndland Fox (no doubt made all the more rosy by bottles and bottles of spot-on house red....) late last year and have since been back for a brilliant brunch (I'd promise 'no more cheesy alliterations', but that would be a lie). It's such a lovely, bright space and on both occasions we found the staff to be absolute dolls. We dined on the Mezzanine both times... the overhead beams and charming interiors really are a triumph. What I'm most proud of is coercing my brunch-muching companions into taking photos of each of their dishes, to be put away for a momentous occasion... such as the drafting of this review. While they each hated me at the time, I hope you - dear reader - will love me for it. I had the Salt Beef Hash (£6.95) which - from the moment the words left my lips to place the order... I was having taste-bud-driven heart-palpitations over. It was super tasty but the portion was quite small. And I honestly don't think that was just my big bum talking (I hope!?). I felt like my meal was over in fewer forkfuls while everyone else was eating on in blissful brunchy heaven. My pals had the Hot Smoked Salmon (£7.95) and the Smoked Black Forest Ham (£7.45) and my wonderful wife had the Cooked Brekky (£8.95). While part of me was delighted to see her savouring every mouthful, the less lovely (and therefore much larger) part of me secretly hoped she'd offer to trade... She didn't. All in all, love the Fox and we will be back! Just for my regular puppy-loving intel unfortunately the venue does not accept dogs... only... err... foxes.

    Hyndland Fox on a nice day!

    It's Bank Holiday Monday, and what do you do on a bank holiday? Okay well before going to the pub!...you do brunch, obvs! On my to do list for a while, today's choice was the Hyndland Fox, tucked away in errr, Hyndland! From the outside it appears bright and airy, and the inside is no different. Split over two levels, the ground floor is relaxed and welcoming with several tables, and a comfy sofa with scrabble on the wall in the corner, quirky! Upstairs is a variety of booth style seating and where we were seated. Drinks orders taken straight away and water on the table, we were then left to peruse the brunch menu (about a dozen choices in total, and a nice mixture), and we waited, and waited, and waited...and after some prompting, finally ordered 25 minutes later. Food arrived a short while later; my friend having chosen the hot smoked salmon with poached eggs, sourdough and lemon creme fraiche which in her words, "was delicious" and a very generous portion of salmon! I opted for the black Forrest ham, poached eggs, sourdough and hollandaise, but minus the ham and instead with bacon (which I was aware of at time of ordering so can't complain), again a good size portion but my hollandaise was slightly split, sad face. Being picky I would've preferred my sourdough toasted as the hollandaise left it quite soggy. Having heard such great things I was left a tad disappointed, and think service could do with some attention, but, it was a busy bank holiday after all...

    I popped in to have a coffee but couldn't stay long enough to have breakfast or any of the other goodies I saw on their menu. The breakfast items looked amazing and I can't wait to go back when I have more time. I'm also a fan of their marketing and logo-so great.

I heard…read morea rumour that they changed the name because people kept asking them who 'An' was... are people really that thick? It's changed a lot since then - physically there seem to be more tables than I remember, and the menu is now a single-page affair of broad-spectrum Scottish fare including meat dishes, whereas before it was a multi-page seafood-only extravaganza. I still fondly remember the shared seafood platter... mmmmm. However, although the menu may have downsized, the quality is still as high as ever. I started with crab spring rolls with a chilli jam dip, which were light and very tasty, followed by a Thai-style seafood medley in coconut sauce, which managed to carry a fair degree of kick without overwhelming the delicate flavours of the fish. Delicious. Herself had scallops to start, which were really fresh and cooked to perfection, and followed this with the lemon sole with salmon mousse. I had been tempted by this, but when it arrived I was quite glad I hadn't picked it as it looked a bit too creamy for my taste. Yet it disappeared without trace so clearly was appreciated! We were both hungry enough to manage a dessert - Herself had a kiwi and mango pavlova that seemed absolutely huge; I went for an intriguing coffee jelly in brandy snap basket with caramel sauce, although I declined the clotted cream option. I wasn't sure about the coffee jelly as it was a very different taste, but maybe it would grow on me over time. Overall, a fantastic meal; good portions, superb presentation, perfectly cooked and generally scrumptious all round. Although it was pretty full when we arrived for the early evening shift, the staff were attentive and helpful at explaining everything on the menu (to my disappointment, it turned out that a 'financier' on the dessert menu had nothing to do with accountants). The chairs are sumptuous and comfortable, although some could do with replacing as the seats are getting a bit on the saggy side; luckily cushions had been provided for those that were a bit too far gone. Oh - and there's a giant pink and yellow raffia giraffe called Felicity in the gent's loo... I have no idea why, but it's quirky and I like it.

The menu has so many Scottish foods in it, there's no doubt this is a Scottish fare restaurant. I did have to look some of it up because even other Scottish restaurants hadn't had things like cranachan or rumbledethumps on their menus. Ordered were: bread, beef stovies, lamb rump, slow braised beef short rib, cranachan, and chocolate brownie. The beef stovies is beef stew with a potato pancake hat served in a cast iron cauldron. Very cool presentation, and quite a tasty stew inside. I liked the small cut of everything, so it was easy to eat. The lamb was so tender and flavorful, without being overcooked. I substituted rumbledethumps for the polenta so I could try some, it was a lot like mashed potatoes with some extra flavor in it from the cabbage. The black garlic emulsion was a little earthy but went with the lamb so well as a result. My only fault would be the mint drizzle being too sweet for my taste. The short rib was masterful, essentially fall off the bone, and a good herby rub. The desserts were a step down from the mains. The cranachan felt like it had bromelain in it, breaking down my tongue as I was eating it. Outside of that sharpness, a very tasty and solid dessert. The brownie was heavy and fudgy, so if that's your type of brownie then it's here for you. Otherwise it's too much on a stomach already packing the amazing dinner preceding it. All in all, what a place, what a meal, recommended.

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.

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.

    The Pot Still is a Mecca for Scotch Whisky lovers...a 5-minute or so walk from the Buchanan Street…read morecentral area of Glasgow, slightly off the beaten path, but well worth a walk to from anywhere in the world. It was recommended to us by 2 different Scots (Our tour guide in Skye and our hotelier in Glasgow), so it has quite a lot of credential from all over. We stopped in for our nightly-during-vacation dram on our first of 2 nights in Glasgow. The place was packed...You order at the bar and try to find somewhere to sit when they serve you. (We found a spot upstairs. Our bartender was quite knowledgeable in the extensive collection and guided us to a good choice. (Our main direction in every bar was to give us something we'd have a hard time finding back in the States.) That got us to a Duich Moss dram...heavily peated (just the way I like it) from Islay...a great choice for one of our last whiskeys in Scotland. If you like Scotch Whiskey, you can certainly get it any and everywhere in Scotland...but this place is a true Scotch lovers' destination...the selection is unrivaled, and you'll find yourself in a great, historic atmosphere to enjoy it. Don't skip this place.

    Small pub, massive whisky selection -- and I mean massive. We're talking over 1,000 whiskies on the…read moreshelves, plus a solid lineup of beers on tap. It's cozy, crowded, and buzzing with life -- often standing room only and packed shoulder-to-shoulder with locals and travelers alike. If you're a whisky fan (or even just whisky-curious), do yourself a favor and try one of their Scotland whisky flights. It's like taking a mini tour of the country's whisky regions without ever leaving your barstool -- and without worrying about driving. The bartenders really know their stuff and are happy to guide you toward something you'll love. A quick heads-up: no football colors allowed, which keeps the atmosphere friendly and relaxed no matter who you support. And speaking of friendly -- the locals here are as welcoming as they come. This is exactly the kind of place where Scotland's famous pub culture shines. Prices are surprisingly reasonable too, so you can sample a few drams without feeling guilty. Whether you're a seasoned whisky nerd or just looking to experience the local vibe, this is the spot. Pull up a stool (if you can find one) and enjoy a proper Scottish night out

    You can find The Sister restaurant on Kelvingrove Street up the steepest stairs in Glasgow - thank…read moregoodness I wore reasonably low heels :-) As the dining room was absolutely packed I never took any pictures, I don't really like to get in people's face too much with my camera. 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.

    Went to The Sisters on Monday 30 of April for my grans birthday with my mum and sister in law. I…read morebooked a fab deal on 5pm which was 3 courses for £12. 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.
