Truly stunning! The food was delicious, the ambience was exceptional..... the staff were very attentive! We loved it

Newspaper eat biao order haggis .

Had XMAS menu with 14 old friends - Service and Food were exceptional. We were sat at a huge big table on an upper level - it worked brilliantly. I had Cullen Skink, Venison and Cheese Board - all top drawer.

For lunch while traveling in Scotland, find a random restaurant to eat at. I didn't make a reservation at that time but there were still seats available, which was really lucky. I ordered a three-course course that day and was very full. The mussels are delicious, and the scallops and shrimps are very fresh. For dessert that day, I ordered lemon tart with ice cream. If you don’t know what to order, you can choose the meals on the course menu. The restaurant environment is very clean, and the heating is also turned on at the beginning of November. It is very comfortable when you walk in. I recommend you to eat there.

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Went with a group and ordered the below, all top notch, great value and best haggis I’ve tried (so smooth and melts in your mouth)! Breskit potato fritters - in the picture Hand cut chips - decent size, right amount of salt and so tasty Haggis - so smooth and melt in your mouth (didn’t know it could taste so good??) Venison stew - best stew I’ve had in a long time Cabbage side - incredible flavours Sticky toffee pudding - the sauce and the little crumb bits really added to this and like a little flavour-gasm in your mouth Incredible scenes all around, we didn’t have a booking and didn’t think we’d have a chance to get a table but they were so lovely and managed to squeeze us in! The staff were all polite friendly and professional in their service too ☺️ It was also Christmas time and the festive vibes were just fab, Xmas crackers on the table too! 🎄🎄 Doing excellent things 🤍

We had some stuff on the Christmas menu and it was all lovely and then we lovely all the food and staff were really nice too and got everything we wanted.

tasty! Clap your hands! Asians deserve their trip

We had lunch on a Sunday in May 2024. From what I observed, it is a restaurant frequented by Glasgow residents, without tourists. We tried the typical Scottish dish Ardnamurchan's Own Haggis, Neeps and Tatties with Auchentoshan whiskey cream (also available with vegetarian haggis/vegan option) (kids), I thought there would be less sauces. I couldn't bear to eat it all, they let me take it 😋; I found it tasty. Dessert: Tiramisu and Sticky Toffee Pudding. Menu photos May 2024.

I'll preface this review by saying that our server wasn't a big fan of two young ladies, dressed in leggings/hiking gear, laughing their heads off during their whole meal. He could've been nicer but he wasn't and when his shift was done just before we were done with food, nobody bothered to tell us who our new server was going to be. So, the service could be better. It wasn't like we were making fun of him. The restaurant itself is nice, semi-upscale. We made a reservation just in case and I'm glad that we did. It was pretty packed for a Tues night. We ordered the black pudding fritters, the appetizer version of their Haggis, the pan seared fillet of cod, the Cullen skink and the cranachan for dessert. The black pudding fritters were excellent. They came with a marmalade and a salad which were very good too. The cod was delicious - melt in the mouth with a side of wonderfully warm and creamy lobster bisque, a crunchy potato mash and a finger licking scallop roe cream. The Cullen skink is the Scottish version of a clam chowder - this was less creamy than what clam chowders are like, but delicious all the same. The Haggis was ok. Nothing outright bad about it but I had better haggis in Edinburgh. I'm glad we took the appetizer size, not the entree size. The cranachan was lovely. I'm not a big fan of oats, but if you give them to me with raspberries, cream and liquer, I will eat the whole thing! The pricing is on the slightly expensive side. But overall, the food was good and we had a good time.

Must go if you want to try some authentic Scottish dishes! Food is 100marks no doubt, environment is clean and spacious - remember you MUST BOOK before you go! We have been rejected 3 times the other day when we tried to find somewhere for brunch - think you’ll starve to death if you don’t book in advance in Edinburgh! Huggis - better than what I expected, thought it’ll taste like black pudding as they have similar mechanisms but ended up really delicious, worth a try! Btw had my first try ever on venison and it turned out to be good 100% recommend but again BOOK IN ADVANCE!

Good food. Some chick gave me a list of rock music bars to go to since I was visiting glasgow for the day.

Fab place, great food and very good service. Given this restaurant is city centre I thought the prices were also very good.

The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great, and after being sat at a table that I wasn't entirely happy with we managed to get another which was a lot better. Great service overall with all the staff being very friendly and very accommodating.

The Ardnamurchan is still up there with the best, though this visit while still very good, some work needs to be done with staff training and internal IT systems. Our order for wine missed then charged twice on the bill, though rectified quickly when we indicated the mistake. We had Christmas lunch menu which was very good and to the restaurants usual high standard. My only comment would be this, I had the chicken with cauliflower dish. It should have an additional element such as a swede and potato mash or parsnip and potato mash to counteract the bitter taste from the seared cauliflower. Other than that our meal was excellent.

Great food, reasonably priced and the staff were friendly and professional.

It's my first time trying venison. It was an outstanding and amazing experience. The food smells amazing, and the taste was amazing. The staff are very helpful and friendly. The decoration and atmosphere were amazing. I will try it again, indeed. Highly recommend 👌

Staff were good. Atmosphere also. However food was let down unfortunately. Haggis bon bons overcooked. Chicken was dry and roast potatoes were overcooked too. Very disappointing as I have liked this restaurant in the past

First class service and a first class meal

Great food and drink, quick friendly service, imaginative decor.

Our first time ! Totally outstanding place ! We’ll be back ! had a gift voucher and didn’t know what to expect. Welcome service food was fantastic . We left with another voucher for family as we really want them to experience this wonderful place. We will be back for sure…

My friend and I had lunch today 29/11/2024 we ordered from the Market Menu she had the Venison Stew and she enjoyed it and it looked really nice. I had the Hispi Cabbage it was the worst plate of food that I have had in a restaurant we both had Cranachan it was small but very nice. So if you want to pay £19.95 for a lunch of a portion of cabbage and a wee Cranachan bon appetit.

Good value market menu and tasty food. Comfortable casual setting. Cocktail we tried was good. Cullen Skink was good. Maine’s could be better - e.g., chicken breast was slightly burnt to bitterness on the outside. Desserts were good - sticky toffee the standout, Cranachan really nice. Chocolate cremeaux was nice but maybe abit average and on the small side. This is a recommend if you’re in Glasgow.

The staff were the highlight, along with supreme food from the engine room. The young lady with blonde hair and apron running food was excellent! The Haggis starter arrived promptly and was lovely. I opted for the Sirloin Steak, which again was top-notch. Sticky Toffee Pudding and an awesome decaffeinated coffee (a really good decaff) finished off an enjoyable evening. Dining myself. ✌️

Superb food on offer. Super tasty and more than enough of it. Can't fault anything. Staff are professional, approachable and attentive.

Our first visit to this restaurant but it won't be the last . We really enjoyed it and they had a decent range of gluten free options for my husband who is wheat intolerant. Very handy for the theatre as well . Really nice meal

Scottish dinner in Scotland. A goid place for family or big group gathering.

Restaurant with several interesting dishes, I tried the soup of the day and the venison stew, both very good. The price is average and worth the dishes

Absolutely delightful dinner & food on Thursday at the restaurant - great location near our hotel - The Maldron too

My wife and I chose this restaurant to celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary, and overall, it was a lovely experience. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Upon being seated, we were each offered a complimentary glass of bubbly to mark our anniversary—a thoughtful touch that we greatly appreciated. We started the evening with Old Fashioned cocktails. While they were enjoyable, they didn’t quite stand out. For starters, we shared half a dozen oysters, which were fresh and exactly as expected. I opted for the stovies, though I found them a little disappointing as the lamb was nearly undetectable, and the consistency was so watery I ended up requesting a spoon. My wife chose the langoustines, which were enjoyable but didn’t leave a lasting impression. For the main course, I ordered the coley, which was cooked to perfection. However, the grilled hispi cabbage served alongside it was far too firm—I struggled to cut through it with a knife, let alone enjoy it. On the other hand, my wife’s lamb shank was the highlight of the meal. It was tender and perfectly cooked, complemented beautifully by the oak-smoked mash and the rich black garlic emulsion. While there were a few aspects of the meal that could be improved, the overall experience was elevated by the outstanding service. A special mention goes to the General Manager, Jean-Marc Ducasse, and our server, Emma, whose attentiveness and professionalism truly made the evening memorable. All in all, we had a great night and would happily return. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant, especially for a special occasion.

LOVED THE FOOD. Fantastic experience, and our waitress Nicole was so lovely. She made sure we had everything we needed. Very good service. Xxxx

Excellent food and friendly service.

All three of us went for cullen skink which was excellent. I then went for the chicken and mushroom pie, which came with mash rather than chips. My wife and friend went for the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. The beef was so tough as to be inedible - they couldn’t cut even with the steak knives. The Yorkshire pudding was anything but a YP - it was small and very stodgy, probably not enough eggs if cooked fresh but more likely frozen, so need to change supplier. The 5 star mark for service is because of how our complaint was dealt with - beef dishes taken off the bill and complementary desserts. However both my wife and friend were hungry the rest of the evening. We will not go back.

My first time in Scotland, so I wanted to try traditional Scottish food. Choosing this restaurant was the right choice. I really wanted to try haggis, neeps & tatties, so I went with the vegetarian option, and it was fantastically delicious. The staff was very friendly, and a beautiful lady kindly helped me choose some Scottish dishes. It was the perfect place to introduce myself to Scottish cuisine. I'll definitely visit again if I'm ever back in Glasgow.

Food was amazing, and the atmosphere was nice. All but one staff member seemed were pleasant and made our time memorable. Would come back!

Arrived slightly early for my husband's birthday meal. Staff wished him a happy birthday and we were seated. Service was excellent. Food lovely. Very reasonably priced for the quality of food. Venison stew was amazing! Highly recommended.

I arrived as a single diner with no reservation and the delightful Elda offered me a tall bar table which was ideal. The service was polite and very prompt. My rope mussels were large and fleshy in a delicious sauce and The Malbec was very drinkable. The lamb shank was sadly quite tough. This is a dish that should be slow cooked for at least 2 hours. This wasn't.

amazing food and great quality - really friendly staff with great service - if your looking for traditional Scottish sourced food it’s a must go place - great atmosphere and good location

Me and my wife had an amazing meal here at the weekend. Our server was great and the food was delicious and a good quality. We will definitely be back. Great service and great food. Book in advance as it’s busy.

Cannot recommend enough. Delicious well priced food

Had dinner late on a Friday. Got a booking around 9. Food was excellent, lamb vension as well as mussel starter and lamb hotpot. The wine was recommended by friendly (Latvian?) waitress who added to the experiance. Would 100% go again.

Amazing dining experience. Would definitely visit again. The staff was awesome.

Lovely staff Food was dreadful very very poor quality Cullen skink had only potato and leek in it Roast beef was shocking two small slices of processed meat not traditional roast beef With a few roast potatoes peas and a Yorkshire pudding that was burned and hard Gravy came in a saucepan not a gravy boat Would not recommend it a disgrace to traditional Scottish food

I have been twice now and both times the food has been fantastic. The venison stew is outstanding and extremely generous amount of meat. The chocolate orange espresso martini is a pudding by itself. My friend had the lamb shank and said it was gorgeous, with marrow enriched jus. The staff could not have been lovelier, even when a minor mistake was made it was immediately sorted, very pleasant people. It's a lovely atmosphere as well, cosy and welcoming. The food isn't cheap but it's not expensive either for the standard of restaurant it is, and the market menu can help you save a bit of money while still giving you a good range to choose from. Highly recommend to anyone looking for great Scottish dining.

The beef stew was good but a bit too salty. The scallops were also good.

Outstanding scottish food. Dont miss this restaurant.

Good food, good wine in a nice environment. 10 minute walk from the main bars and restaurants but worth it. I will be back. Restaurant was very busy on a Saturday night so I would recommend book ahead.

We came to this restaurant for dinner as we wanted to try local food and it was a real success. We didn't have a reservation and they treated us very kindly. We ordered the venison, smoked salmon and huggis, and everything was very delicious. Highly recommended if you want to try the typical dishes of the country

We didn't have a reservation, so the waitress suggested us to sit at the bar, and we have absolutely no regrets. Very nice service. The dishes was good and refined. It was a good Scottish cooking experience.

The best sticky toffee i have ever tasted. Excellent service and the steak was great too with the whiskey sauce. Highly recommend

So trying to leave a fair review here. First time visit and had good expectations however a few issues let down our experience!! Cullen Skink tasted ok but we found one piece of fish almost unrecognisable as it was so small and it was just very runny. Main course arrived with the wrong order on the plate, fairly quickly rectified but had to wait looking at my steak while this was done. I had one button mushroom cut into 4 pieces, hardly noticed it. Cheese board was good, not really hard to get wrong and plenty to share for two. Coffee was cold, think it may have sat a bit too long before it arrived at our table, Irish coffee was ok. Guinness was ok however a medium white wine at £9.50 a glass was steep. Waiting staff were great and attentive but tried clearing my plate whilst I was still eating. Overall probably wouldn’t rush to go back. On a positive the waiting staff were friendly.

A new favourite restaurant in Glasgow. The food was exceptional, the service was excellent. Great atmosphere and for a Monday evening every table in the restaurant was occupied. Excellent all round and will visit again when back in Scotland

Nice and central, good Scottish seafood (+ other good dishes) and efficient , friendly service. Enjoyed lunch.

Great place, and the service was impeccable Food was absolutely delicious

Lovely staff, great food, can't complain!

The food amazing, the staff so friendly and will give you good advices on food choices, special mention to Zoe, she was fantastic!

Just back from a delicious 3 course lunch . Had our dog with us who was given water and treats. Food was so good especially breakfast stories.

A really nice restaurant, the food was excellent, try the venison, it's well worth it and possibly the best sticky toffee pudding I've had. The staff are brilliant and really helpful and friendly, all in all, worth a visit

Amazing experience for big and small. Friendly staff.

It's a very good Scottish restaurant without being ultra touristy, it maintains a certain authenticity in its menu. The decoration was just as measured. Even though the venison steak wasn't quite what I expected (it was still good because I ate it all), I had a great evening because the langoustines were incredible!

Great place to experience high quality Scottish fare. A pleasure to visit. Never fails to deliver.

An absolutely fantastic meal, would definitely visit again if we come to Glasgow. I can't recommend it enough.

Visited to celebrate our anniversary, great service with a little freebie to help us celebrate. The food was excellent and well presented, would not hesitate to recommend.

Great restaurant with traditional Scottish fayre...but better than your average place! Definitely the place to be for anyone visiting..we took our Aussie relatives. Service was a little slow at points when it didn't seem busy enough to warrant the delay...but the staff were all lovely and helpful.

It's an amazingly lovely meal, and I would definitely recommend it.

Family reunion: service fantastic and we all enjoyed ourselves.

We are from France on the advice of our son, very good restaurant, very warm welcome, excellent value for money.

We ordered fish and potato soup and it was excellent and the place was comfortable

We had a small group on a 45 year military reunion..our food was delicious and a great deal for 3 courses..everything was so tasty I could not fault anything.

Food was very good, staff were very attentive. Lovely surroundings.

Excellent place and the food was delicious, the waiters give good service without overwhelming. I recommend the scallops

They were able to accomodate me despite no reservation placed. I had to eat by the bar but it was fine by me. I tried the cullen skink and it was really good. Tried the whisky for my first time and the staff gave out a nice recommendation for my first time. The place was full of people yet the staff remains professional and nice. Would love to come again and try their other dishes if I come to Scotland again.

I've been here numerous times and generally enjoyed it however yesterday was disappointing. We ordered from the market menu which is normally pretty good but something has changed and they are obviously trying to maximise margins. The portion sizes have shrunk significantly. Both my starter and main course were more like tapas than proper plates of food. Seems like its time to try elsewhere for our next theatre trip.

We were in Glasgow only 4 nights, and we ate dinner at Ardnamurchan 2 of those nights! It was recommended to us by our hotel staff when we arrived in Glasgow. We did not have a reservation, but we’re lucky to get a table in the bar area. Everything was delicious, especially the sticky toffee pudding! It was so good, we decided to go back again. Special compliments to Emma who was extremely helpful, but everyone was very nice.

I only had a coffee on the Sunday morning, it was a grand coffee served to me by a very well-managed young lady and the price was great too!!

Excellent food and drink Great service

Lovely food and friendly attentive staff. Can't fault this place. If its on the menu try the Chocolate and orange bread and butter pudding!!

Food is outstanding 👌 seafood stew absolute treat cooked to perfection and the sponge on the sticky toffee light and airy your food is delicious..

Excellent food. Really hard to choose what to eat, but all three of us chose different things and it was all great!

Two nights stay in Glasgow, and this was near our hotel. We found that the - mainly young - staff were just a bit disorganised, but very friendly and cheerful, and the food was gorgeous, so were the cocktails. And the atmosphere was cosy and nicely lit. We will certainly come back if we are this way again!

This was a lovely restaurant & the food was delicious.The only dissapoint was the waitress wasn't the nicest to serve you a bit sour faced .Didn't explain that the "upgrade hand cut chips was £2pd", when we got the bill.She told us it was on the menu,she went to get one to show us, she came back & said it isn't on this menu.Customers should be told as well when ordering.Wont be back.

It was quite good. Before my parents left the UK, the family of three tried Scottish food together. It was very unique, especially the haggis which was quite delicious. Maybe it contained foie gras? The taste is quite rich, and the service is also very good. We were given a seat by the window after booking in advance. The venison is also very delicious, without any fishy smell. The only thing is that the soup is a bit too thick. It feels like it can be a meal on its own. I want to eat it with my friends next time. In short, it is still very good. The total for three people is 105 pounds. I haven’t finished it all yet. The price-performance ratio is very good. high

This is my second time at ardnamurchan can't fault our starters but everyone in my party were overall disappointed in our main courses which is ashame as we really were looking forward to it ,overall for a 2 course Sunday lunch and drinks was reasonably priced for 4 people

Reasonable menu, however we ordered the fish stew and free range chicken with honey and mustard sauce....literally on our table within 5 minutes of ordering. Arrived before our drinks! The fish stew although nice was starter size and the chicken was luke warm. Not terribly busy so there really was no excuses. We did order pudding as still hungry after our main and waited longer for this to arrive than the main. Atmosphere nice and warm. Not great for the price if I'm honest.

We loved our Scottish meal here. Both food and service were excellent. They didn't have iced coffee on the menu but made me a special iced latte anyway, best one ever!. I would highly recommend.

Very delicious food in Glasgow at a good price! The "tap" water is served free at your table. The quantities are normal, the main dish is good but the starter is a little short. Cullen Skink soup very good!!!!!!! A place that is quite good in relation to quality/price.

Great food, friendly staff at reasonable price. Great pre theatre, right across from Theatre Royal. Ambience was great.

Quality food.....the best scallops I have ever eaten! Will definitely return.

Delicious food, excellent service and nice atmosphere. We enjoyed a wonderful meal of elevated Scottish food. If you want to try haggis, neeps and tatties I highly recommend their dish. Rich gravy, crispy turnip garnish and the haggis was flavourful, a bit herby and not dry. We also enjoyed the seafood stew. Lots of seafood in a rich and creamy tomato and fish sauce. Oh so good. We would definitely we come back again and again.

I only had drinks so can't rate the food, but my friends had eaten before I arrived and the service, and serving staff, were very friendly and attentive. Lovely place. I look forward to coming back at some point soon.

Little disappointed in this place after finding what we thought would be authentic Scottish food. But what was worse was the service. Maybe they forgot we were there? The women next to our table were being catered to as if they were celebrities but I had to flag someone down for our table. For the prices they charge, I would expect better service. And btw, I don't know why the server would suggest bourbon in a drink called Rusty Nail. It's a simple drink with Drambuie and Scotch, the very product Scotland is famous for. Come on!

Lovely place for eating out. Absolutely outstanding quality of food, as good as I've had anywhere. Lovely service, friendly and attentive. Good selection of wines and whisky especially, but it's the food that is the star. Great fish options in particular, genuinely the best of Scottish produce. I had the scallops to start, they were very well cooked, sweet and delicious. The haddock was superb, crispy batter and a fantastic home made tartare sauce. The cheese board contained the best brie I've ever had, it was next level, so good. Thoroughly recommended.

Had amazing Scottish food recommeded -Cullen Skink soup, Pan Seared Fillet Of Coley, Hand dived Barra Scallops, Drinks: Raspberry Gin fizz, Chocolate Orange Expresso Martini.

Just had a drink, but will go back for food. Staff very friendly

Our group of six had arrived in Scotland from England. We chanced upon this restaurant as we were walking looking for something to eat. The restaurant looked cosy and attractive. It was a very pleasant dining experience savouring Scottish food. Our group ordered a variety of dishes. Each was very good.

Loved this place a lot. Great food and even better service/friendship from the lady who served us and used to be a chef. Great evening all around. Go here!

Amazing meal and service from Zoe! Great value and well seasoned meals, blue cheese sauce was one of the best I had in town. Place was nearly full on Tuesday night, you could tell people were enjoying themselves 🙌🏼 highly recommend!

Everything spot on apart from Cullen Skink could be doing with less potato and more yellow fish, other than that spot on.

Everything that I had here was excellent. This is a great place to sample some local Scottish cuisine.

Delicious selection of food. Good selection for those following a restricted diet.
