First of all, let me say that Enrico is an absolute gentleman and wonderful restauranteur. I had read about Vald'oro prior to coming to visit Glasgow and had to stop in given its sterling reputation. As much acclaim as this chippy gets, it deserves even more.
I arrived with my girlfriend shortly before closing and we were fully prepared to take our food to go or simply come back another time. Instead, Enrico insisted that we stay and wound up chatting with us and sharing stories from 58 years behind the counter at this Glasgow institution.
I had the fried haggis and chips and my girlfriend tried the fish and chips (pictured below). The batter on each was perfectly seasoned, and the haggis had a beautiful texture and flavor. We could not possibly have been more satisfied.
Thanks again to Enrico- you truly exemplify the saying, "People Make Glasgow". Here's to many more years of serving up delicious delicacies...

definetly recomend it! (2 adults, 25-29y., breakfast, roadtrip +hiking,...
Read moreThe restaurant is a must-go if you are in Glasgow. It has a 1950s vibe, and the owner himself is from 50s, continuing his farther’s fish and chips business from the 1920s. The business has witnessed the history of Glasgow. The food is amazing good, in taste, quality and value. It’s easy to tell that the restaurant makes its own chips from scratch, and which gives the food also an old-school, home-made touch to it. The experience is fantastic...
