Glaschu Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Scotland

one more review August 2025 This time we had a family lunch, 4 adults, we opted for the three course lunch. What great value. This place is definitely amongst the best places in Glasgow for dining. The food is great, the atmosphere is great. **Update after our second visit

Today we visited Glaschu for the second time. This time everything was very smoothe. The menu was great, a varied selection. We ate from the a la carte menu, however the lunch menu looked great too and reasonable at £20 for 2 courses and £30 for 3 courses. Our food was delicious. I had the lobster ravioli to start and my wife the crab tian, both 10/10! My wife had the venision as a main while I had the butter squash risotto, again delicious. Unfortunately for us it was too tasty and we ate more than we should have. The cheese selection was excellent and included some Scottish cheeses. Service was excellent, not rushed at all, service this time was 5*. After todays visit we would highly recommend a visit. If you want to diine on a saturday then I'd definetely recommend making a reservation. We will return soon.

This was our first visit to Glaschu and we had high expectations from reading reviews online. Our arrival was not the best. There is a restricted access to the restaurant where you are required to press a buzzer for access. After 3 buzzes to get access on a cold , 3˚C windy Glasgow day we were eventually given access and told over the buzzzer "come up". Once we went up and arrived at the restaurant we were greeted by a member of staff who instructed us to wait there. This felt like sitting in a take-away waiting for our order! A short time later, maybe 15 minutes we were shown to our table. The restaurant is very nice and relaxing environment, however the dried flowers remind me of an 1980's hotel. We were given menus and a nice amount of time to read the extensive tempting menu. All choices sounded very tasty. Our appetisers arrived and they were very tasty and well presented. I asked for a alcohol free beer at this time. While eating our appetisers I saw other diners arrive at the reception. I saw many members of staff completely ignore the people waiting who had obviously just been buzzed to "come up". When our appitisers were finished and cleared away I had to remind our server that we had still not recieved the alcohol free beer. The starters arrived and looked very appitising , we were very impressed. Again newly arrived diners were seen at the reception and more or less ignored by staff. I must add this was not a very busy service. Our main cousres arrived and like before looked and tasted delicious. Our overall impression from our experience was it was "okay". The four star review is for the menu, presentation , quality and taste of the food. The front of house staff and waiters, except our waiter, were very much lacking in customer service. Will we return? Simply , yes. For the food. For the welcome and service mmmmm,...

I can't fault the food in this restaurant. I dined here last night with two very good friends and we had truly spectacular food from the Market Menu. The service however was shockingly bad. We had to ask for everything at least once and I mean everything from taking our drinks order to our food order. Our table wasn't ready when we arrived on time for our booking, they POINTED to where we should sit while they got the table ready. We ordered a drink for where we were waiting which didn't arrive. We then had to ask if our table was ready, which it was by that time. We had to ask them to take our food order after a good 15 minute wait. The food however did come out quickly and was very tasty. None of the waiters topped up our glasses or came over to see if we needed anymore drinks, again we had to ask them to take another order. We then waited a good 20 minutes on our desert before asking where they were. We were then told the order hadn't been put through and they didn't even know what our order was. At this point I pointed out how bad the service had been and was told it was Easter Sunday and they were extremely busy (the restaurant was half empty when we arrived at 4.45pm and the kitchen had no trouble getting the food out) the waiter didn't even try to apologise, he was so rude and dismissive. The whole time we were there at least two members of staff were chatting in front of the bar with not a thought for any of their guests. Finally another waiter did come over and apologise and gave us 20% off the bill but the waiting staff certainly didn't live up to the service that came from the kitchen and if I was a chef in this restaurant I would be absolutely raging with the waiting staff, they completely soured our...
