Posh Nosh in Glasgow

[EVLXGE]

Im up in Glasgow on sunday and need somewhere nice to take the missus for lunch.

I lived/worked in Merchant City for a year (Mon-Fri) so know most of the night time haunts but not sure what there like for a posh lunch.

Can anyone recommend anywhere.....other than McDonalds

Burger King

Pizza Express. It's an Italian restaurants just off of George Square.

I'll take your Pizza Express and raise you a Wetherspoons

Serious suggestion now: not too posh, just one of the places I like: http://www.red-onion.co.uk/

went to the new blysthswood hotel for dinner tonight, used to be the RAC club, food was very good and quite anice place
Otherwise for traditional good lunch and very good service la parmigana on great western road is always good!
Hotel Du Vin ex 1 devonshire always does a good lunch and service is good and is very classy too

+1 for Italian Kitchen

I also love Amarone in buchanan st, nelson mandela place. My weegie socialite burd tells me that is "so past being cool now" and go to mediterraneo on Ingram St.

If you want posh (altho further afield) Marr Hall Hotel is fantastic or try the old fav - 1devonshire (altho always worth checking upto date reviews as changes hands from time to time).

Any of the above should provide brownie points

I keep getting emails from the Blythswood and keep meaning to pop in for a drink when I'm up that way. Is it worth going in for a look if I'm not getting food?

Hi Andrew
the bar is ok, but nothing special, but i did think the food was very nice. They do a set price dinner menu which is well worthwhile. has only been open three weeks and it seemed like it as staff were all still learning but trying very hard to impress and please. Def worth a visit for food! You can buy me dinner if you want! thin k it may be your turn! am away to Amsterdam on friday until tuesday, before you ask, where i am in the world just now!

We still need to play squash whilst we remember the rules! I suspect you and Andy are just getting super fit so you can thrash an old man like me on the courts!

29 in Royal Exchange Sq is nice, and not a 'private club' during the week, though I think you'd deffo need to book a table in advance.

That would have been my recommendation too but friends were there recently and thought it had gone down hill. Reading some on-line reviews it does look poor for them. Anyone else been recently?

[EVLXGE]

Thanks for the suggestions ill have a look at websites today.

Italian kitchen was my first thought...spent a good few nights in there. Wasnt sure if they opened for lunch though. Ill use IK as a fall back.

Their sister restaurant accross the road on albion street, The Italian Cafe, is a better bet. It does similar food, but tapas stylee and is a much nicer place to be seated.

Tinderbox for a cuppa of course.

Depends if you are looking for pizza or not

Do you know Gerrard or Ricardo?

Thanks chaps.

Booked Hotel du Vin.

Best way to get there? Hop in a taxi? Roughly how far from centre?
