1. Wee Paree (N/E)
A surge of interest since we mentioned the arrival of this Parisian themed bistro to Broomhill. For brunch they serve macaroni and bacon on croissants to prove this is Crow Road and not the Champs-Élysées. Go in the evening for an autumnal beef bourguignon.
2. Glaschu (N/E)
Creating a buzz at weekends and soon to launch new tasting events and brunch menus. Fine dining with a view over Royal Exchange Square. Order the lobster and langoustine tortellini. Attracting a stylish crowd.
3. 111 by Modou (N/E)
Chef Modou Diagne has launched his own restaurant on Cleveden Road, taking over from Nico Simeone. The theatre of food is played out over a procession of delicately assembled courses. Cost-effective set menu with wine pairings that makes for a fun night out.
4. Ramen Ramen (Down 3)
A relatively new arrival on Bath Street with a cult following. Ramen Ramen stepped up during lockdown, providing nourishing, hearty spicy, flavourful deliveries of authentic Japanese dishes. You can now visit them in real-life. Big bowls of noodles to put a smile on your face.
5. The Luchador (N/E)
New Mexican place from the team behind Dundee bar Abandon Ship. Expect quirky design, an array of tasty tacos, with craft beers and cocktails. Find them at 721 Pollokshaws Road.
6. Bread Meats Bread (Down 4)
The end of an era as Bread Meats Bread closed on St Vincent Street last week. Still available in the West End and at The Fort, with a new, bigger city centre venue opening in September. In the meantime, all this change has folk craving their classic burger-based menu.
7. Epicures by Cail Bruich (Down 4)
What Cail Bruich did next. Brunch is back in Hyndland. Go for smoked salmon, on rye and ale bread, cream cheese and a sprinkling of caviar. Freshly baked breads, cakes and pastries to takeaway. Don’t leave without a cronut.
8. Little Hoi An (N/E)
Vietnamese street food on Allison Street. Attracting a hip crowd to this relatively new addition to the Southside food scene. Small venue, big flavours. Look for their crispy roast pork, lemongrass chicken, rice noodle dishes and pho.
9. Errol’s Hot Pizza (Down 5)
Very small pizza shop on Victoria Road. Their description. Get in early for pre-order and collection. Thick crust, crispy base, wide slices for folding, memorable toppings. Errol’s Hot Pizza is in demand.
10. Partick Duck Club (Down Two)
Sides. Brunch. Desserts. The lot. Partick Duck Club continue to serve up impressive cooking across their menus. It's the kind of neighbourhood bistro that everyone would like to have at the end of their street.
