So good. Great atmosphere, food was amazing and very attentive Service. Highly recommend, will go back.

Outside of building

First time here was 30+ years ago, and from then to now the place has gotten both bigger and better. Great food, inventive, authentic, and oh so flavorful. Ask for a lemon or orange zest on your affogato, you won't be disappointed.

Downstairs dining
Paul V.

Tucked behind the bustle on Ashton Lane, enjoy something uniquely Ubiquitous. The downstairs dining room wasn't available so we ended up in a way better spot upstairs. Of course I was here with all the ladies who began taking pics of all the greenery, because rooftop dining in the rainy season here is an arboretum with great food. The rest were busy splitting a bottle of white while I enjoyed the Local Chip, which of course was exclusively brewed for this place. There are a few other UK locals if interested. The charcuterie was decadent yet different, featuring chilled shellfish, and they pulled it off. We skipped the small plates but gnudi and venison were tempting (besides it's "Chip's own"). As with the wine, this group seems to like similar stuff, so two got seabass and loved it. I was going Bavette steak all the way, and it was a solid choice. You'll also find some nice vegetarian dishes along the way. Somewhere in there they talked themselves into bottle #2, and why not? Affogatto does nicely for a pseudo dessert, and of course the sharers shared some lemon & poppyseed cake. Don't worry about missing out on menu items if you're upstairs either, because you'll have virtually the same choices. Great service and memorable eating made the evening go by too quickly. We'll hopefully return quickly.

Last dinner in Glasgow and it was great. Had the Bouillabaisse and BF had the Sea Bass with Lentils. Decent portions and both were between 21-23 pounds. Great atmosphere and staff were attentive.

I came for dinner on a Monday night. It was very busy, and I was glad I had made a reservation. It was a little tricky to figure out where to go to find my table. The part of the restaurant I reserved a table was in the upstairs area. When I arrived, I went upstairs. There wasn't any servers in sight so I stood there for about 10 minutes before I finally found a server and asked where I should go for my reserved table. The server was nice and gave me recommendations from the menu. The black bean and chickpea burger was on the bland side and was incredibly dry. The rhubarb and custard was excellent. Tangy, creamy and sweet. I think if I were to come here again, I'd book a table at a different part of the restaurant.

The mallard duck entree

The location is a bit quirky, but the food was amazing. It was one of the best meals I have had all year. Service was impeccable and lovely ambiance.

Scotch flight
Mel S.

On a cold February afternoon in 2020, before the world came to a standstill, we visited UK and enjoyed a light lunch, scotch and gin at Ubiquitous. We sat up in the mezzanine , enjoying the ambience. I forget what we ate, but recall it was very nice. The scotch flight I had and the gin flight my wife had were amazing. The pleasant memory I have of this place albeit with the detail faded, is testament to the greatness of the place. Recommended and I'll visit again when I can. Slainte!

The beautiful dining room
Chris C.

Quite simply I think this is the best restaurant in all of Scotland! Not only does it have a fine dining restaurant, but it has a casual upstairs bistro, and a pub, you really can't go wrong! This restaurant in this whole area of Ashton Lane was recommended to us by some friends from Scotland... This whole area is really great so spend the evening here and pop into a couple spots. This should be your spot for dinner 100%. We initially made a reservation in the high end dining room, but after looking at the prices and realizing we were in the mood for more casual and quicker dinner, we asked to switch upstairs to the bistro. They were happy to accommodate which was very nice. We had a very nice mix of lots of different food, they have a lot of different small sharing plates, as you can see from the pictures the presentation is incredible. The muscles were just amazing! The highlight though of the meal was the haggis... Something that can be done very terribly as a foreigner if you know what I mean... This was probably one of the best dishes I tasted on our trip, and obviously the best haggis I've ever had in my life. It's a 52 year old recipe and it does not disappoint, it basically tastes like the most perfectly seasoned ground up little bits of meat that have all the little gamey pieces and organ pieces that are interesting but not over the top. Served with purée of parsnips and potatoes and an incredible gravy that makes it just perfect. The highlight of our trip food wise!

Dessert of crowdie cheesecake- definitely a highlight and would recommend again
Rits M.

This place is gorgeous! Its definitely an experience to walk in here I loved all the indoor plants and the beautiful garden they created. They also had a fountain in the corner and the space is brightly lit since the roof is glass which lets in a lot of sunlight. They told me all the plants were real as well, and as a succulent lover, this place was my paradise! Great drinks, well mixed - i recommend the peach daiquiri. We got these to start. Haggis venison was outstanding and it comes with neeps and tatties, beautifully arrangled on the plate, I will say the portions are on the smaller side but if you're there for lunch its a good meal, dinner portions are larger they said. It is a little expensive for the price but just order more, you're paying for the space Dessert of crowdie cheese cake is showstopper and I highly recommend getting this if youre here. You can digest it by walking around ashton lane after that :) Great service- there is seating on top I recommend getting as high up to the skylight as you can but all the spaces in this restaurant are lovely. The staff is good and help with offering tourist recommendations as well as details on food presentation and helping with allergies Great bathrooms and lots of them so less waiting. Also uniquely spaced and interesting layout of the whole restaurant

Sea bass and bouillabaisse.

Mark sat us for our reservation at 6:30p and then 20 minutes later took our drink order. While informative on the menu, the visit left us wondering why we waited until the end of our long holiday to celebrate at the UbiChip. When we come back to Glasgow next month we will try the fixed menu.

Highly recommend. I had one evening in Glasgow and I am pretty sure I could not have picked a better spot to spend it. "Chip" is in a fun, lively alley. I recommend walking around the neighborhood first, and then checking out the different spaces of the restaurant itself before you are seated. I can't pick a favorite. The bars looked fun (especially the little bar), the rooftop was cozy and unique, the fine dining space looked beautiful, and the mezzanine, where I sat, was so unique and special. Drinks were good, and the food was great. The mussels were TO DIE FOR! A must-do in Glasgow.

Great food in a very lively restaurant in Glasgow.
Charley K.

Great service of delicious food in a classy setting. Your best bet for a great dinner in Glasgow.

Liz L.

I first came to UC back in 2015 and was awed and blown away. I certainly did enjoy the food here this time around, but I have also found other spots in Glasgow and Edinburgh that have comparable pricing but much more delicious tasting menus. I'd rate my experience here at 3.5 stars. The wine pairing was excellent. The wine alone tasted not as good as the accompanying wine with the matching dish. Service was superb. The Glasgow accent is thick and sometimes hard to make out what they're saying. The lad that served our wine knows a lot about wine! Would I return the next time I travel to Glasgow and Edinburgh? Who knows???? We shall see what the world looks like in 5+ years! I had a pleasant experience nonetheless b

Excellent venison haggis neeps and tatties

The Pot Still - 1000 whiskies

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

This may prompt you to feel like ordering a drink. You are in good hands and they can totally recommend something that you may like. Their selection is so huge they don't have a menu, you just have to ask for your label or take their recommendations. Naturally, most of the selection is Scottish whiskey, but if you somehow prefer otherwise, (say you are a local tired of Scotch... or just want to reaffirm nothing beats a Scotch?) they do offer whiskey from other countries, as well as beer and ciders, as well as gin, rum and the like. They do offer pies and other bar food, but we went after dinner and just couldn't stomach more food, tempting as they may sound.

Now we're not talking heavy full pedal to metal kinda night as the participants and birthday man himself had been doing a 24 hour DJ charity gig around Glasgow the day before. So this was a Sunday night just chillin' and grabbing a few beers kinda night listening to all them dirty dirty blues. Da da da da dum! Oh and talking a whole lotta random nonsence. Da da da da dum! At the entrance it spilt into two, venue to left and the bar to the right, here I am stuck in middle..... er em. Sorry! Anyhoo we had a booth which looked like it could be closed to make a private party area. Steady! It was an all round really good night, the decor was non too shabby for a rock stylee venue with fancy wall paper and chandeliers, one girl actually blended into the wall with the top she was wearing. Nice! Drinks what you'd kinda expect to pay in the city centre but overall a fab night out and wouldn't mind swinging by again for some more of them dirty blues. Da da da da dum! Did I mention I saw The Beatles playing in the venue when we left? Very surreal!

With an hour to kill before dinner, I needed a cocktail. Or two. And some chips. Thankfully Slouch…read morehas all these things on the menu PLUS seating so that meant it was the perfect stop for Saturday afternoon drinks. My first cocktail was the Personality Crisis £5.95. Made from "Smirnoff Green Apple Vodka & Xante Pear Cognac, shaken with lemons and apple juice. Finished with a splash of lemonade and a drizzle of grenadine, served in a chilled wine glass." There's no denying this cocktail had an apple zing to it - quite sweet but not too over the top and pretty easy drinking. I'd ordered the twice cooked fries (£2.95) and they arrived pretty quickly and were piping hot. They weren't amazing fries, a little greasy but overall they were pretty decent and we demolished them without any trouble. I then opted to get into a second cocktail - it was a Saturday afternoon, after all. The Black Magic Woman (£6.50) is an espresso martini with "Illy Espresso, Smirnoff Red, Patron XO & brown sugar shaken over ice, strained into a martini glass and dusted with chocolate." Woah. This was GOOD. I mean, really good. A bit addictive, even. Thankfully I wouldn't be able to tolerate two espresso martinis so that wasn't really an option. I loved the chocolate dusting and it was one of the best espresso martinis I've ever had. I'd even go so far as to say I would go back to Slouch just for this cocktail, it was that good.

It is not located in the hip touristy area next to Planet Hollywood. It is a small unassuming pub in a working class neighborhood. We walked from Glasgow University (looks like Hogwarts) which turned out to be a longer walk than Google made it seem. It was cold and drizzly just like Scotland should be so when we got there we were ready. We didn't have reservations but they were extremely nice and sat us down. This is a Pub. Just what you are picturing in your head right now. Dark, lots of dark wood, old crumbling bricks. I love this decor. We started with a couple of appetizers I ordered the Salmon Tartar and my wife ordered the smoked duck breast. I ordered a cold pint my wife had a glass of white wine. We decided to also have a half dozen local oysters. The waitress asked if we were expecting someone else. I guess 3 appetizers is not normal for 2. We were just getting started. Once we demolished all 3 appetizers I followed up with the Pan Seared Gigha Halibut my wife had the steamed Shetland Mussels. What a treat. All the seafood is local and very fresh. All of our dishes from beginning to end were tops. A truly historic dining experience from a historic eatery. In Glasgow then GO...... to The Finnieston. See what I did there. BTW we also had dessert.

I was looking for a good stout and the bartender, Andrew gave me some really good recommendations. I settled on the Overtone Milk that he recommended and it did not disappoint. It was smooth, full bodied, and flavorful. Nice chocolate flavor with a hint of smokiness to it. My husband got the Drygate IPA and it was crisp and hoppy. Service: I always look for good conversation, attentiveness, kindness, and whether or not the server and or bartender was knowledgeable about what they're serving. Our bartender Andrew was all of the above. He was so welcoming, and my husband and I enjoyed the great conversation With him. He knew a lot about the selection of beers and whiskey, where it came from, and who it came from, so that was wonderful! Thank you Andrew for a great experience. We hope we can stop by again while we're still in Glasgow.
