Bothy Restaurant in Glasgow City

We booked the Bothy to celebrate a 70th birthday on recommendation and our experience was definitely mixed: Seated at the back of the dining area behind the bar lost the ambience of the restaurant and was cold …. The booking was made several weeks previous so not a last minute decision. Starters came and had clearly been sitting for some time as they were luke warm with some dry on top of the haggis dish. We arrived at 7pm our main course not served until 9pm? Three of the five mains sent back as they were cold, including the sides of veg. When the food returned it did not look as if a fresh plate of food had been prepared but rather had been re charred on the griddle and served again. The saving grace were the front of house staff who were very apologetic and on the kitchens behalf. Food that arrived hot was enjoyed but we had to eat our mains at different times from each other. We did receive a discount on our bill and were offered a drink on the house however, this should have been a special meal for a special occasion and did not make up for we left disappointed.

This was our first time visiting. Lovely, cosy place. Friendly, attentive staff. Extraordinary Sunday roast. Looking forward to returning.

Great place for a nicer dinner with family. Relatively quiet atmosphere. Excellent waitstaff. Pleasantly decorated inside for the holidays. A bit hard to find from the road. We all enjoyed our food. About half had the pork Sunday roast and the other half ate from the regular dinner menu (chicken and salmon). Wonderful desserts also!

Amazing food and atmosphere! Love it so much! The lamb I had was really nice and tender, desserts are good too! I’ll have to go back for the steak next time 😆 ✨

Just enjoyed fabulous Christmas lunch with friends at The Bothy which was enhanced by great service from Fraser who continued serving us beyond our allotted time slot. Thanks from the 4 ladies at the window table.

Staff do there job although not very attentive or helpful. Food was terrible! Ordered Sunday roast beef, yorkshire pudding was like a brick, roast potatoes overcooked and burnt, powdery inside, meat very pink, did not really look or taste like beef. Food was served tepid. Dessert -panna cotta slopped on a bowl and served. I had starved myself that day as I knew I would be eating fairly early so I did eat the food, did not enjoy at all.

First time at the Bothy. Food was amazing. I had the salmon as main. Delicious with all the accomplishments. Staff were friendly and love the decor and vibe of the place. The only issue is when the door opens, the cold air hits your back.

We went as my boyfriend loves Sunday roast (and I can’t cook). Food hot plentiful and delicious. I just had a soup and a side as was not hungry enough for a roast but portions were so plentiful I doubt I will need dinner tonight. Staff very friendly and attentive. Cannot recommend highly enough.

We were booked for the Christmas Menu at £49 Unfortunately, I ordered the Christmas turkey main course. The food had been plated for some considerable time. Long enough for a skin to form on the gravy. The turkey was rectangular in shape. The roast potatoes were so hard I could not cut through. I did not complain at the time as I have never complained before when out with friends but did tell the waiter it was not good. The service was unacceptably slow. We arrived at 7.30 and were served our sweet course after 10 o'clock. The only fast thing was getting the bill and paying. Won't be back.

Found this by using Google maps although we’ve visited the area for over 30 years. Embarrassing for us!! Came for lunch and the place is exquisite. Food lovely and beautifully presented. We ate everything. Compliments to the chef! It’s now a favourite snd we’ll be back asap.

Really disappointed with lunch. Husband had the salmon. Salmon and Rossti was fine but the knife couldn’t cut the veg (broccoli and kale!) I went for the pork. Didn’t expect it to be like a Chinese with mash potato veg and a jus. Cauliflower was cold, pork to much like a Chinese, (two slices served - didn’t eat 1.5 slices) kale again couldn’t cut. Really disappointed. If the waiter had asked how was your meal (most of mine was still on the plate) I would have told him! Won’t be rushing back in a hurray. 😢😢😢

The food is really nice in here. The surrounding’s are nice too. The staff all wear kilts. have been here before but it was a while ago. I had the Sunday Roast, which was a choice of beef or pork loin. I opted for the pork loin. Two courses were £25 but there is a service charge of 12.5% which is added on to the bill. Overall, i would recommend Bothy and hopefully return soon.

We celebrated my wife's 50th birthday here with a family dinner in Sunday 6 October. For a large party the food was very good, hot, very tasty, abundant and well presented, could not fault it. I have to give a special mention to the waitress who provided exceptional service. Probably the best service we have experienced for a large table. The place was busy and with these service standards no wonder!

Wow, what a fantastic time we had celebrating my Dads 70th! The food was incredible and the service from Angelika was second to none! We were made to feel at home as soon as we arrived. Cannot wait to return!

One of the best restaurants Sunday lunches I have had. Succulent beef with an excellent selection of veg. My mother in law loved the panna cotta. The ambience of the restaurant is excellent with spacious tables.

Great restaurant food was lovely but most standout was the service, private room booked for a large table all food came out hot and together for approx 20 people which was no mean feat including a number of dietary requirements which were all met. Drinks were tasty and orders taken as needed for drink requests. Thank you

Recommended this place by the hotel we were staying in. Food was great. We had the lamb and pork. Both were great. The lamb was beautifully cooked, tasty and tender. Side of parmesan chips were fat chips and tasted yummy. Service was friendly and attentive. Nice setting and atmosphere. Would absolutely recommend this place for great Scottish food.

cute little spot with an amazing view overlooking the lake! Every table was full andArchie did a great job making it around to everyone!

Attractive restaurant with attentive staff where we enjoyed the food and drinks (they do an Old Fashioned with honey in it which was delicious). We were there ON father's day, but not FOR father's day, meaning our roasts were more expensive than they would have been on any other Sunday (apart from mother's day, presumably?). Same everywhere of course but still slightly annoying.... Nice restaurant and would be happy to go again.

Dies war ein gelungener Abend. Unsere Gruppe mit 12 Personen wurde schnell und freundlich bedient. Das Essen hat Sterneniveau. Sehr gute Whiskyauswahl incl. Vorschlägen zu jedem Dessert

Fantastic lunch, we had the Braw Deal menu, amazing! Blood orange margaritas must be tried! Staff great, my sister and I were well looked after Thank you

City centre modern restaurant serves a trendy crowd wholesome food, mostly from Scotland . Internal decor seeks to mimic rural cottage

Dined 29/3/24 With my husband which we were looking forward to as we are returning customers,food up to usual high standard but badly let down by waitresses attitude

We booked dinner at the Bothy on Saturday for a party of 17 family members of mixed ages to celebrate our 50th Wedding Anniversary! Below I've attached the thank you message we sent the restaurant: 'Catherine & I would like to thank you all for making our 50th Wedding Anniversary party on Saturday (23rd March) such a wonderful occasion! Everyone agreed that the food and the service from Scott & his fellow servers was truly excellent, really special! It was remarkable how efficient and friendly the service was and how the Bothy kitchen was able to cope with those few of us with eating restrictions (e.g. gluten free, nut allergies etc.) A number of our guests stated that it was one of their best ever meals and vowed to return soon. There was absolutely nothing with which we could find fault, from the booking process, table allocation and setting, the ambiance to the meal and table service! A really great evening! Well done and thanks again! Best regards'

Really excellent local restaurant with superb ambiance. Quality of food and the service with it were just great. Truly enjoyable evening was had by all

Fantastic meal, great service, food was just perfect. Had looked at the menu online but it had changed by our visit. No worries though...everything was perfect! Will definitely revisit.

Really nice food in here. I got the 2 courses from a set menu. Coley in a cheese sauce. It was nicely presented and i thought it was quite good value for money. The furnishings are nice & comfortable as well. I would recommend it

Had a lovely meal, the lamb was absolutely delicious 😋 nice homely relaxing atmosphere and attentative staff, special shout out to Ross. Will definitely return.

Went to the bothy last night with my husband for a valentines meal. The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Was served by Abbie who was very attentive all night. Will definitely be back soon!

Fantastic food and excellent service - top notch venue to visit. Selection of mains made it difficult to choose. The lamb and pork were superb. The lamb was voted the best.

We went to the Burns night, and from start to finish was a great night. The food, atmosphere, staff and entertainer were amazing. Would highly recommend.

Great ambiance, tasty decoration. Food is tasty and well presented. Highly recommended. A little pricey, but it’s expected in west end.

Brilliant! Great service, great food, great atmosphere. Highly recommended if you are in the West end. Hidden down a charming wee lane off Byers Road.

What a huge disappointment from the Bothy on Christmas - a thoroughly average meal of which was overpriced for the underwhelming menu, The Bothy rip-off was more of an experience from a Scrooge owner who was more interested in high profit and low customer satisfaction than providing a lovely Christmas experience - dreadful and shameful!

Excellent festive menu. We all really enjoyed our meals. Had a great Irish coffee for my pudding. Turkey nice . Parsnip soup lovely. Husband had smoked salmon. And pickled radish lovely.

I had hot smoked salmon followed by turkey. The former consisted of tiny flakes of salmon two croutons and lots of creamy dip. The turkey was tasteless, the veg not crispy and overcooked. I won't be back.

We went to the Bothy last night before going to a show in town, hadn’t been for a while. The meal was OK but not what we’d expected from the Bothy and the final price which had service charge already added was about 20% more than we expected to pay, needless to say we won’t be back there are many reasonable priced restaurants in Glasgow this one is clinging to past reputation and it won’t last

I only need one word to describe this place - sensational! The food, the ambience, the staff, the wine, the decor - everything. We loved it so much we came back twice in two days! The menu selection for myself as a vegetarian and my friend as a meat eater was vast and simply delicious. The real haggis, vegan haggis and the Cullen skink were particular highlights. I only wish I lived closer to such a brilliant restaurant. My heartfelt thanks to the staff and establishment - you gave us golden memories to treasure!

We haave been to the Bothy a few times over the years, and can honestly say last weeks Sunday roast was by far the best we've been to! Service was good. The food however was sensational! Thank you team :-)

Had another fantastic Sunday lunch...as always, great food and friendly staff. relaxing surroundings and tucked away from the hustle and bustle :)

Visited with group of 13 for a celebration dinner and we were not disappointed. The private dining area has great ambience for a group this size, all seated around at one table. Service was spot on, food perfectly cooked and good wine selection. First time...

This restaurant was recommended to me for a family birthday, and I must say it was very disappointing. £37 for a steak that had to be sent back, and the belly pork was very poor, with soggy fat on the top which should have been...

Lovely meal of venison for my partner and chicken for me. Location is cozy and the service was good!

If you value your hard earned money .Look for good value and quality food .Best to avoid this horrible place .And they charge 12.5% device charge for the pleasure .Absolute disgrace No wonder I enjoy Spain so much where they feed you well without having...

We ate here for dinner. It was OKAY. We started with the bread with miso and sage butter, pumpkin seed oil, and white gastrique. This was DELICIOUS. We also ordered the olives to start. These were not delicious. Lol they were very briney and just...

A huge thank you to Jaimi and the team for hosting our wedding party this weekend. We had ninety plus guests and chose the Bothy because we wanted a relaxed vibe, in a more intimate venue. We have had many comments on the food, service,...

Excellent wedding yesterday.Beautiful surroundings.Great food and service from staff.So helpful especially Abby. Well done

Beautiful little restaurant nestled just a stones throw away from the hustle and bustle of the busy west end. Service is top notch, very attentive and knowledgeable about their dishes and drinks. Food is amazing, although the steak was overcooked and grisly this time which...

Delicious food, in comfortable stylish surroundings. Would definitely come agin, especially for the very good value Sunday roast menu, if we lived anywhere near!

I attended my daughter and son in-laws wedding on the 2 August. Fantastic venue. From the start to the finish pf the event the whole experience was so well organised. Staff, food and drink was brilliant. Once again I can’t thank you all enough for...

This was a brilliant choice of restaurant. Scottish and very very good. The venison in particular was simply superb!!!

Delightful restaurant serving excellent quality dishes with a charming ambience. Shamelessly going for the tourist £ - and why not? - with waiters in kilts, a take on haggis, neeps and tattles as a starter and a whisky ‘flight’, the restaurant nevertheless is more classy...

Popped in to check place out as I was going to a wedding the following month it’s up a small lane very clean Staff very helpful and food of the Highest Quality but as I have walking issues it’s not for me too many steps...

Good deal here up to 6pm on Mon-Thurs and 5pm on Fri/Sat - £25 for 3 courses (£20 for 2) on The Braw Deal. Not a lot of choice (3 choices per course) but enough to please everyone. Great staff and tasty food. Good atmosphere....

Lovely evening for our daughters graduation. Booked well in advance (but of a necessity). Lovely welcome. Service excellent throughout. Starter of duck & fig was stunning. Sliced beetroot was a real spike of flavour. Main was lamb rump. Lovely Chilean Merlot as well. Probably the...

A perfect fairytale celebration in a beautiful setting. We have celebrated birthdays and retirements in the upstairs room and love returning to the Bothy. Last night we celebrated my husband’s 70th birthday which was a surprise- the staff were so helpful with the organisation. The...

Very impressed with The Bothy. Wanted to go there for a long time and I wasn't disappointed. The place is beautiful and all of the food was great. We were a party of 7 and everyone loved every bit of it. Will be back here...

Sorry to say but this was not a good lunch, 3 fish and chips with excessive batter making it unedible. Lovely ambience made up for the poor food. Thanks to staff for adjustment of bill but would not be back.

Best thing to ever be found down a lane. Service with a smile and the option to sit outside when the weather is fine. Glorious decor, cosy and comfortable. Chilled atmosphere nearly as good as the chilled white wine and all served by gorgeous guys...

A beautiful restaurant with a gorgeous outdoor area. The market menu was very limited. The Spicy Parsnip soup was all cream and no spice as well as cool. The pork dish was not accompanied by stuffing It was disappointing.

Lovely decor and ideally located just off Byers Road. Staff were very pleasant and attentive. Food was a bit hit and miss. The mains were lukewarm rather than hot and some dishes were delicious, others average. The Cullen Skink, the haggis starters and the Sticky...

The Bothy is a gorgeous dining experience. Went there last night with a couple of old friends that we hadn’t seen in ages and as soon as we walked in it felt like we were coming Home. The almost living/dining room vibe of this place...

The food is really really good. A good, fresh quality and very tasty. The place in itself is also amazing, fantastic comfy decor. Even the bathroom is worth the visit. The waitress was genuinely friendly. Can only highly recommend Next visit planned very soon when...

Great location and lovely ambiance. Food was disappointing. Feels like they are reaching (and charging for) more of a fine dining experience but not quite getting there. The terrine was delicious but the burger was very average … dry and overcooked pattie’s and bland flavour.

Good food, OK waiters. Would have gotten a solid 4/5 if they would have not added service charge, which is just sneaky and customer unfriendly since tips should be at the behest of the customer.

Excellent, rien dire un superbe repas. La carte est courte et variée. Les plats sont tres bon le haggis incroyable...

I booked the private dining room for my husband’s 70th birthday. It’s such a beautiful room for a special event. We’ve eaten here before in the restaurant, including for my 60th and were so pleased with the service it was our first choice for my...

This restaurant is tucked away in a charming building off of Byers Road. It is beautifully decorated with very comfortable seating arrangements. Our waiter was welcoming, and dashing in his kilt. All of this would have been enough for a nice evening out, but then...

We’d never been before but decided to take friends for a meal, we were not disappointed, fabulous food, impeccable service and wonderful atmosphere, we will be back!!! thanks to the team, well done!!!

We’ve just got back from a memorable meal at The Bothy - for all the right reasons. My husband had the pork belly and I had the ox cheek - both lived up to our high expectations. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We...

This was our first time visiting this restaurant, lovely place, nice atmosphere, very friendly and welcoming staff. The food was fantastic. Can highly recommend and will definitely be back. Well worth a visit.

Lugar muito agradável. Cozinha escocesa requintada, bem cozinhada e apresentada. Boas sobremesas. Pessoal simpático.

We booked The Bothy on a recommendation from a friend. It’s located down a wee alley, so not necessarily a place I’d have stumbled upon. The building is lovely as is the interior. By the name, I’d imagined a much smaller place but it is...

I was eating alone but was warmly welcomed and given a perfect table. Staff were friendly and efficient, the seating comfortable and the subdued sound made a pleasant change from the sound levels in many restaurants. Food was delicious, Cullen skink perfect for a cold...

Great service from the moment you walk in the door. Staff are very attentive but not intrusive. Plenty of space and tables are not on top of each other. Decor is charming and relaxing. Now for the food. Fantastic. Just fantastic. I had the haggis...

Another fabulous meal at The Bothy. The food was beautiful, particularly venison and sticky toffee pudding! Staff were all very welcoming and friendly and cocktail Black Forrest Old Fashioned was to die for! Thank you so much, will be back soon!

Staff were extremely friendly and quick, food was really tasty and to top it all off the cocktails were absolutely stunning. We'll be back soon!

First time in Bothy and it didn't disappoint! We were greeted by a lovely hostess and got one of comfy sofas at the front of the restaurant. For starters we had crab and salmon and it was nicely presented and fresh. For our mains we...

Visited the Bothy for dinner with family. Reservation was for 7.45pm. Two of us arrived on time and the remaining two about 10 mins late. Drinks were ordered but took about 30 mins to arrive. Starters arrived about an hour later and mains about 30...

Booked a Christmas Menu for a team lunch, happily paid a £200 deposit to only have a further request for full payment in advance!! No where in the Bothy information was this provided. I was then told if I cancel I wouldn't get the £200...

Visited this restaurant tonight and sadly will not be returning. Positive first, lovely environment and comfortable surroundings. Starter of soup was nice. However, that where is ends. Had the Sunday menu which had only one choice of beef as no pork loin left on menu....
