Eighty Eight in Glasgow City

An absolute gem of a place! Went with a group of 4 and ordered 8 dishes. Every single one was a hit. There was only one chef and he nailed every dish. All pasta dishes were cooked perfectly. The pork was amazing. Nothing to fault! The service was also outstanding and drinks were divine! We will be back for sure! Amazing cosy atmosphere 10/10 in our opinion

Absolutely stunning experience for good food lovers. Recommendation was to choose dishes to share. Experience get even better then. The wine list is appropriate for the food type and varied. The Argentinean Mendoza red wine was young but made it through and supported well the food. Each plate was surprising, yet clear, delicious and super well executed. Kudos to the chef and the gentleman welcoming and in charge of service who was clear with menu, services, explaining kindly each plate and pleasant through the evening. Real good.and real surprise. Keep pushing guys. Rare! PS: as music fan, my daughter and i loved the playlist too.

Delicious small plates, great wine options and the service was fantastic. Definitely will return.

So excitingly different. No nonsense service, as the dishes were all sharing, as one was nearly finished another would appear. No rush, if anything was left on a plate the dish remained on the table until we asked for it to be removed. We never left very much at all! 10/10.

Warm space, not crowded. Eclectic menu, we shared 5 plates, one was dessert. Just the right amount for two people. Delicious pairings of flavour and texture, we loved every bite!

delightful experience, and a really creative and refreshing cuisine!

I was a surprise. We couldn't imagine how inventive and amazing the food would be.

An absolute 10/10 experience. Works best when you go with friends so you can share everything you order cause honesty all the food is so good. Loved that all the pasta was made fresh too, cause the ravioli was the best ravioli I've ever tasted. Gold star

Absolutely stunning selection of European cuisine with fresh pasta dishes. Service was really polite and kind. I recommend everyone give the goat's cheese custard starter a try. The coley was superb, and the cavatelli pasta had the perfect mouthfeel. All dishes were wonderful. We were recommended 2-3 plates per person, ended up spending roughly 30GBP per person with two large bottles of sparkling water and 8 dishes total. Definitely filling, and definitely worth sharing every plate around! The atmosphere was nearly perfect, but the music choice was surprisingly laid-back compared to how upmarket the meal presentation is.

A cozy restaurant with an absolutely delicious variety of food. It came to about £30 per person in the end (including the 10% service charge/tip) which I consider reasonable for the quality and fast service - each plate came out approximately one after the other. The starter sourdough bread and hummus dip was a highlight for me that set the tone and quality for the other dishes - all of which were excellent. As the dishes are intended for sharing I recommend that you try and get a wide spread of dishes the first time you go rather than all opting for the same thing so you get to taste more of what's on offer.

Visited tonight. Exceptional, creative dishes and laid back ambiance.

Eighty Eight in Glasgow certainly lived up to the hype! The atmosphere was lively and buzzing. The food was, in a word, great. Each dish was bursting with flavour and beautifully presented. However, we learned a valuable lesson: 5 portions per person is way too much! While everything was delicious, we ended up feeling overly full and couldn't fully appreciate the final dishes, including the mouthwatering steak. Next time, we'll definitely be more strategic with our ordering. Despite the minor over-ordering mishap, we had a fantastic evening at Eighty Eight :)

We ended up here unexpectedly. Were convinced by the people who were eating outside. All the dishes we received were very tasty, well thought out and beautifully presented. Service was top notch. We came out completely happy. Our recommendation: bread with basil/goat cheese/marmalade. So simple. But so delicious. The fresh pasta with pistachio pesto also had such a deep flavor. ❤️ Unbeatable for this price.

Another beautiful meal. Really inventive flavour combinations as always, warm and friendly service and a great buzz in the restaurant. We enjoyed all of the food but the grilled mackerel, the sea bream ceviche and the tagliatelle with Gorgonzola were all exceptional. Eighty Eight is one of our favourite restaurants in Glasgow, and we look forward to our next visit.

We were treated by friends to a wonderful experience in this restaurant. The food was so delicious. As a group we tried every dish on the menu and they all delivered on taste, texture and were visually appealing. A real delight for sensory eating. I can't fault the food and the on street appearance leaves a lot to the imagination. So pleased we were talken here a real feast for food lovers.

Great list of wine and fresh pasta. Good music and overall vibe and dishes

Four of us had dinner at EightyEight. The service was friendly and really nice. The food was really delicious with a great choice of dishes. We had most things on the menu and everything was really great, well presented and the serving of the dishes spread out so you never had too many at one time. We'd particularly recommend the pasta dishes, the mackerel and the puddings.

Absolutely wonderful food, beautifully presented, so creative , so delicious. Great friendly service and such an atmospheric and wee cosy spot on a rainy evening. Can't wait to come back. Everything on the menu was superb.

Amazing Monday tasting menu, 8 courses to share for 25£ pp. The goats cheese custard with basil and focaccia was incredible. Good portions and alternative options if needed. The Chocolate cremeux with smoked almonds was fabulous. Nice staff and comfortable seating. Just the lights are a bit too harsh in the back.

Incredible inspired food, they have a set menu on Monday. Which is so awesome and really delicious! Had the best time !

Hidden gem. Looks nothing from the outside just a door way. Inside great atmosphere. Friendly and knowledgeable staff but above all the most amazing food. Selection on the menu and the flavors really fantastic. Couldn’t fault this place and will be back

My wife and I went here a couple weeks ago and had a very mixed experience. The food, it must be said, was great. At least, until the dessert. We ordered something that was described as a "parfait" only to receive a solid, frozen brick of something like ice cream in return. I waved our waitress over. "Could this be right?" I said. We didn't have knives, only spoons, which was laughable because even a knife wouldn't have cut this thing. It was like it'd been sculpted out of ice. "Yes, just give it a minute and it'll soften up," she said. Ok then. 10 minutes later, we were still plying at it with our spoons like Michelangelo going at David. When the waitress came back with the bill, I said, unprompted, that while the main dishes had been very good, the dessert had not been. "Sorry to hear that," she said, "I'll pass that along." Pass that along? I'm not sure what I'd been expecting to hear, but that the information would simply be "passed along" was not it. Additionally, it very much bothers me at restaurants like this one when a tip is automatically included. What am I tipping for, exactly? In the US, servers make $2 an hour. I'm sure it's not the same here. Given the service I'd just received, I was particularly flummoxed. All in all, a real shame given that the main dishes we'd had were really very good.

We went for a late dinner and all of the dishes were incredible! We shared 4 plates among the two of us and it was plenty. The beefsteak tomatoes were incredible, both pasta dishes were cooked perfectly and we finished with the pork chop which had peaches and baby gem lettuce with it which was a nice touch. Wish we could’ve tried the sourdough but it was sadly sold out before we got there! Must’ve meant it was good! The spicy margarita was veeeery spicy, but the French mocktail was sweet and delicious!! Everything was plated so beautifully as well. Definitely a high class experience.

Cute little restaurant with amazing service. The food was delicious and the fish was very fresh. The waitress was very sweet also. Would definitely recommend!

Went on a Friday night, restaurant wasn’t too busy. Tiny, cramped table. Food was very average, often with listed flavours and ingredients undetectable in the final dish. Very small portions — you will leave hungry. However the whole experience was marred by awful service. No drinks offered with the menu and the waiter walked off. A long time to flag one down, but the aperitif cocktail took so long to arrive we were halfway through our meal. The glass of wine paired with the main fish finally arrived as the plates were being cleared and dessert offered. We then asked for the bill but had to go down to the front to interrupt the staff who were having a long conversation as it didn’t seem they wished to give it to us after a 10 minute wait. Seemed like we were interrupting their Friday night fun. We didn’t particularly want to tip, but we were told this was added to all tables over two. We were a table of two, but the staff clarified it was actually all tables over one. Partner had been here a couple of times before and thought the food and service had noticeably deteriorated. We won’t be back.

Pasta night was a slum dunk!! Very unique combos and all of them delicious!

We loved this place in Glasgow's West End so much we went back a second night! The food is excellent. We were amazed away by how good the simple yet creative dishes are. While the menu is limited (and changes daily), you will find something to your liking. The very small kitchen is at the front of the restaurant and you can even look into the kitchen from the street. You'll notice the freshly made pasta hanging in the window. Pasta dishes are simple and delicious. The braised fennel and radicchio dish had a an olive oile, herb, and chili dressing and was so flavorful I was blown away. The service was super friendly and the server was extremely knowledgeable about the dishes. It was obvious they truly care and are truly passionate about the foods. they serve. This small restaurant is an absolute gem. My wife, our gourmand friend from Napa Valley (a place where they have some works class restaurants), and I agreed this was one of the best restaurants we had ever been to. Prices are unbelievably reasonable.

This resturant was phenomenal. Walked by resturant countless times. Finally booked and we are all so glad we did. Food was incredible. The chef and waiting staff spot on and so accomodating to the Vegan diner within our group. We had a few small plates and bottle of wine. Chef is outstanding.

We were there for dinner and absolutely enthusiastic by the quality of the food, which is tapas-style. The menu changes daily (check online), and there is little choice, but this is good. The home-made pasta was absolutely delicious, but everything else was also very good. £10 for the pasta is also great value for money as the portion was not small at all! The service was good with everyone nice and friendly. The environment is small, and it was a bit noisy, with the music a tad bit too loud for a restaurant. I cannot give 5 stars because of a bad practice that is spreading: the place adds 10% of "optional" service charge to all tables, and one has to awkwardly ask to take it off the bill if they don't want to. We'd have spontaneously added a generous tip ourselves, since everything was good, but decided for a small one, just to oppose this system. Management: just pay your staff fairly and show the final prices on the menu.

If you haven’t eaten at eighty eight what are you waiting for?! We visited today and the food (sharing plates) and dessert were delicious and so were the cocktails. Managed to get a pic of dessert but not the main meal as it disappeared very quickly. This place is definitely a new favourite. Would highly recommend 👌🏽

Delicious food, super original and SO worth it! We went there on Monday and we did not know it was going to be a set menu and decided to try it out. Best decision ever! We had the standard menu and we are considering going back for the veggie menu just to try out their other dishes!

Used some vouchers that were actually bought for the sister restaurant but decided on Eighty eight. It did not disappoint. Great food and great portions

Interesting Menu of small plates made me adventures. Would definitely go back. The whipped feta with pesto and marmalade with sourdough to start was fab.

Our server was so lovely and so made the experience great, the food took a little while in between dishes and was quite over salted but overall the food and drinks were fab, beautiful place!

Wonderful restaurant with delicious food, friendly staff and nice wine - defo check it out!

My first time visiting but I was really impressed by the food on offer. We started with the goats cheese custard which was outstanding. The cured sea bream was similarly really good, and was the Tenderstem brocolli. I wasn’t blown away by the pasta, but I think that might be more because of personal preference than anything else. Whilst service was good initially, it tailed away later in the night as it got busier - which meant it was quite difficult to pay etc. Overall I really enjoyed my visit, I’ll definitely be back!

We went for pasta night and were blown away by both the service and quality and quantity of food! Excellent veggie options. The pea lasagne was the stuff of dreams 🤤 Service went above and beyond- our waitress noticed we hadn't drunk one of the set menus cocktails (we didn't like it, but weren't planning on saying anything as it's personal taste) but she popped over and asked if we'd like something different instead.

Food is outstanding with every plate a visual and taste treat. This is just not the sort of food I’d ever produce at home. Special. The service was professional, friendly and helpful. We’ll be back.

The food was amazing, where to start. The goats cheese custard, sourdough was sublime, boquerones were fresh and reminded us of sitting in the sun. Ratte potatoes were fantastic. Could go on but this is a place you have to visit. Is small and could be seen as a little crowded, but food is worth it. Young team in kitchen are very visible and boy do they work hard, but the hard work produces incredible food. Servicing team were friendly and very helpful. Hope this place keeps growing is well worth a visit. Recently had a family meal at Ox & Finch, which was good, this place is 10 times better.

Top notch from start to finish. Staff were amazing and food was impeccable. Will definitely be back.

Visited this restaurant on a Wednesday evening and had a fabulous night. It’s a lovely, intimate restaurant with a friendly relaxed atmosphere. The food was outstanding (especially the sea bream). Looking forward to our next visit.

Absolutely outstanding. Came to dine here with my mum and we both agreed that in my 21 years it was the best food I have ever had and in her 50+ years she said the same thing. Credit to the boys in the kitchen and the lovely floor staff- would 100% recommend to all. Must try if in Glasgow. The sea bream dish was especially exceptional as well as the feta potatoes.

Sensational food and really lovely service. Never had celery root, turnip or short rib that tasted so good!!!

A new Gem for us. We have walked by 88 numerous times and always said - looks great we have to try it. We did - WOW - amazing. Extremely impressed. Superb food, flavors out of this world. Amazing wines by the glass - probably the best wines by the glass I have had in Glasgow - if going by price definitely the best. Lovely staff, it was quite being a Tuesday right after New Years and we got to chat to the very talented chef and lovely hostess. Very nice people who love their job. We will be back to try the cocktail bar and to eat at the restaurant again.

Amazing flavours all round, very accommodating for allergies. Lovely staff, delicious wine and a relaxing atmosphere made for a very pleasant evening.

I went to this restaurant a year ago and it was one of my favourite in Glasgow. Unfortunately it has declined substantially. Three items from the already small menu were out of stock meaning there was no meat option on the menu at all; despite us having a reservation and being expected. We ordered plates that didn’t arrive, wine was also out of stock and ingredients were listed on the menu but barely featured on the plate (again I can only assume due to stocking issues). The prices were incredibly high despite very limited choice, tiny portion sizes and extremely limited options due to poor stocking. Other customers were equally unimpressed which didn’t help the atmosphere. Staff were polite but did omit things from our order in error. All in all, this is incredibly poor value for money.

Can’t wait to come back. Food and service were incredible.

Some of the best food I have eaten this year. All of the dishes we had were just taste sensations and it is difficult to find fault with any of them. All were just superb, but some of the more outstanding dishes were the goats cheese, the taramsalata, all three pasta dishes and the Hanger Steak with Ox Tongue.

Delicious food. Rich and flavoursome. Great chef.

Small plates and bigger plates. All excellent. Small but decent choice of wine. Good service. Would recommend. A west end gem.

We had a wonderful meal at this small but cozy restaurant. The food was excellent - bold and full flavours. We love a sharing concept and had 10 plates in total for our group of four. The plates came out at a steady pace, we never felt rushed. Small but good wine selection. The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. We went to other, more expensive restaurants in Glasgow but this was by far our favorite. We spent 245 pounds which included 3 bottles of wine - a very fair price. Absolutely recommend this spot, we will definitely visit again next time we're in the area.

Incredible coffee and even better pastries! They have the most gorgeous cups and the atmosphere is really cosy! I personally loved that you were offered a choice of single origin for your coffee and the menu included tasting notes to help you choose. I am keen to return to try out their selections of wine one evening!

This is a lovely little place in the West End of Glasgow. It does small menus and small plates, but everything that comes out of the small kitchen is delicious. Service is friendly and informed. Booking is essential. We went on a pasta special menu evening.

Had a great meal at their sister restaurant Scamp a few months earlier so we were encouraged to try here. A cosy venue with lovely staff. How one chef can produce this quality of food on his own I have no idea. Great stuff.

Tonight my girlfriend and I went for a birthday meal at eighty eight and honestly it is without hesitation the most incredible food we have had in Glasgow for a long time. The staff (we were served by Lily and a gentlemen whose name i don’t know but he was always brilliant) but they couldn’t have been more welcoming, knowledgeable and attentive if they tried. The food was insanely good, every course, every mouthful was brilliant! Value for money is AMAZING but it’s more then that, it’s got a great atmosphere , in a wonderful cosy setting that makes you relax and really enjoy your time there - can’t fault the place and above all i cannot wait go back and tell everyone we know to go!!! It was a Monday night and it was busy - they made the entire experience something we won’t forget - 10/10 - one of the best restaurants in Glasgow without question!

Quite disappointed overall with the quality of the food, considering the portion size and price it's honestly shocking that they are serving such inconsistent, tasteless and badly seasoned food. The halibut was decent, same for the salt baked celeriac however the puttanesca was barely edible and incredibly salty, the panisse was just underwhelming and the courgette was shockingly bad. Tbh the duck was actually amazing but it feels bad when only 1/6 dishes are actually worth what they are charging. Don't bother going here unless you fancy your chances playing the roulette.

Service is a bit rushed and the waiters should be a bit more patient explaining the menu. Did made a mistake in our order and the dishes did take a while. Food wise - I did enjoy the overall presentation and flavours.

Eighty Eight was wonderful. Really great spot with a nice modern vibe. I had the tasting menu which was approx. 7 dishes and very reasonably priced for the quality. Plus 2 glasses of delicious wine. Highly recommend.

We came in just for drinks at the bar on a Thursday evening. Firstly, let me say that the cocktails were outstanding - creative and well executed. Service wasn’t great though, we were basically ignored by staff and had to seat ourselves and then attract their attention to be served every time we wanted a drink - no checking in, clearing glasses, greeting us etc. Could be a really, really great place if the quality of service matched up to the quality of cocktails.

I Googled "Restaurants in Glasgow not to be missed" and Eighty Eight came up in the list. We were interested in the tasting menu concept and were we glad we did. We did four tasting plates, starting with the Freedom sourdough with goat cheese custard, marmalade and basil. We then had the tete de moine cheese with green gauge and basil followed by the Tagliatelle with courgette, lemon and parmesan and, finally, the Filet with the cauliflower, gorgonzola and walnut. Each course was pure joy. We would have had dessert but we were so satisfied and did not want to interfere with our palettes so we decided not to. Highly recommend this place. It is innocuous looking from the street, is not fancy but the service was well paced and very accommodating. Do not miss it!

We had dinner on monday and they served diverse menu small delicious dishes. Since I was pregnant, they adapted the menu for me. The atmosphere was very nice.

Taste sensation We were lucky that another local restaurant that was booked out recommended 88 since it proved to be the best restaurant that we have visited on our travels. The small plates we ordered were all delicious, atmosphere friendly and relaxed and the service knowledgeable

Sourdough bread and goats cheese spread is unreal. Pastas are freshly made and cooked well.

Just come and try, special kitchen, friendly people, unforgettable experience in Glasgow. Everything is really perfect in this small cozy place! Small plates with uncommon intriguing flavors coming from combinations of good ingredients. Easy and tasty, you would try them all. Don’t miss it!

If you are American you will probably not like this place! The food was very tasteless. We were wishing we had found another spot instead of eating here for our 1 night in Glasgow

This might be some of the best small plates we have had in a while. We travel a lot and this place ranks very high on our list. The service was incredible! Cocktails by the next door bar also amazing. Overall, I would come here again and again and never get tired of the delicious food.

體驗很好 職員服務友善 環境燈光舒適 matching wine很搭 食物美味且飽肚

Lovely fresh and interesting food and really attentive service. Nice atmosphere too!

We found this on reviews as we are visiting Glasgow. We are foodies, eat at places all over the world, and Eighty Eight will be successful in any location in the world. Quaint location, small door, cute tables, and music. The person waiting on us knew the menu, ingredients, wines, and she was kind and efficient. The food was spectacular. We had a combination of dishes including sour dough/goat cheese custard; leak and romesco sauce; pasta; and amazing chocolate cremeux and strawberries for dessert. Wine was amazing. The night before we ate at Gloriosa and Eight Eight was on another level of food. Much higher level of food at 88. Would go back every time in Glasgow and send any friends. This restaurant is excellent. You will have an excellent time. Wish I had gone to 88 last night also.

Simply delicious. 4 out of 5 dishes we ordered were 5/5 for us. Only one I would say was 4/5 for our taste. The dishes come out as small plates as they are ready. (This meal was wonderful - last night was a disappointment at Gloriosa -see review). From the menu in our photos, we ordered 1. freedom sourdough with goat cheese custard 5/5, 2. bean sprout and chilli summer rolls, 4/5 3. leek, romesco, celery, hazelnut5/5 4. Tagliatelle, cacao e Pepe 5/5 5. Chocolate Cremeux, strawberry and meadowsweet. 10/5!!! I felt the price was a bargain for the quality of the food. The service was very good. The atmosphere simple but pleasant- it let the food be the show stopper. This would be a favorite go-to if I lived in Glasgow. We have experienced food in many countries- this rates very highly. Make sure you eat here before everyone else finds out how delicious the food is!

Frische, saisonale Küche in spannendender Kombination. Kleine Portionen zum Teilen. Bei 4 Personen empfehle ich jedes Gericht auf der Karte, von oben nach unten, zu bestellen.

Haben zu viert alle Gerichte der Karte probiert und waren bei keinem Gericht enttäuscht! Sehr abwechslungsreich und spannend. Bedienung sehr freundlich, manchmal leicht vergesslich;-) Weinkarte dürfte für unseren Geschmack etwas spannender sein!

Always interesting and delicious food. A firm recommendation to visitors.

I went for a take away which was only a short wait. They even gave me a glass of wine for while I was there. As usual, the food was excellent as it always is here. We keep returning for take aways and dining in 👍🙂

So refreshing, heart-felt, from start to finish, each dish full of character- exquisite gorgozola cream ,potato foccacia that tasted of duck fat, gnocchi slightly crispy exterior, generous fresh artichokes in an eccentric lasagne. Great service and wine .huge congratulations to you guys

We were here for dinner with a group of friends. It is quite a small restaurant and we found our selves on a cramped table at the back. There were quite a lot of us and as it is a small plate place we tried a lot of dishes. The food was OK although some dishes were quite pricey a few more pounds would buy you a full main dish elsewhere. Service was ok. At the end of the day it ended up quite pricy we thought. If you are going to do this sort of thing Ox and Finch set the standard. Nice enough but would not go back.

Went for the £5 margs and they did not disappoint! The classic one was delicious and I’d go back for that alone.

Superb food , served well. It’s ‘small plate’ service which has gain popularity, you’ll need 5-6 plates as a rule for a meal for two. Pasta is absolutely Devine and made in the store and hung to dry on the window. Produce is good quality and well cooked. Service was attentive but not overwhelming. All reigns 5 stars!

This is a great spot. Service, food and cocktails are all really high quality.

This is by far the worst dining experience I've had not just in Glasgow but anywhere. It's cramped, dingy and noisey. The two couples sitting next to us were very loud....to the point we couldn't hear to have our own conversation. It's also hugely overpriced...

Luogo molto piccolo e quindi un po' rumoroso se ci sono vicini esuberanti. Il menù è particolare: ci sono 5 triadi di portate; le prime 3 sono tipo antipasti, quindi piatti molto piccoli; la quarta formata da una portata più abbondante e l'ultima di dolci. La prima impressione è che si mangi poco, ma se si prendono piatti dalle 4 delle 5 triadi ci si sazia a dovere. I piatti sono molto originali e di gusti molto particolare. Prezzo non economico ma vale la pena.

Had the valentines tasting menus one meat and one veggie. first course fantastic, second course very bland and tasteless(tofu, halibut), third course good(cauliflower cheese pasta) , fourth course excellent(beef was cooked perfectly and braised beetroot also brilliant and sauce was tasty), finally desert was good. Overall pretty good but not worth the money you're paying. Will try again in the future

Have enjoyed here before and even though the food wasn’t quite as good as last time the biggest disappointment was the service which was cold bordering on unfriendly. Will give iit a while before returning.

Food was excellent, prepared fresh to order and beautifully presented. Great selection of quality wines. Friendly staff who were very welcoming. Loved it.

Enjoyed the Hogmanay menu at 88. The individual courses were generous and well balanced. I'd challenge anyone to eat the chocolate cremeux by themselves! The service was prompt and friendly. Wines were reasonably priced. Only the tiniest of grumbles: the beetroot, walnut and valdeon salad could have used a bit more cheese. Would definitely go back.

Vegetarian tasting menu on Monday night is excellent for trying new dishes. Reasonably priced and lovely atmosphere

Eight of us ‘dined’ at 7.30pm midweek. First impressions were good but rapidly things went south. The room was cold and lacking in any ambience. Lighting was too bright. The waitress was attentive and pleasant to start with but once we enquired about the provenance...

We booked this last minute on a Monday evening after our first choice was not available. Wasnt sure what to think about this place at first. We had the Monday tasting menu for £25pp. 9 small plates to share. Thoroughly enjoyed the food. Pasta dish could have been cooked a little longer for my liking. It was al dente which i know how pasta is supposed to be. We are quite big eaters and was worried it wouldnt be enough. Left feeling full and satisfied. Service was good, atmosphere good. Got parking outside easily. Would visit again.

A small plates place with small tables and a smallish menu. The prices a bit less so. That said they were interesting choices which, whilst reasonable, sometimes sounded better on paper. Nothing was a let down but there was a lack of sparkle in some plates which places like Brett (for example) would have delivered better.

Service is a touch slow, everything else was 5 star

An absolutely delicious dinner! We experienced very creative dishes in a perfect and tasty realisation, chapeau. Also the wine card match it perfectly with its connaisseur touch. Small is beautiful !

Smallish sharing plates, menu changes frequently

Absolutely first class. Can’t fault a thing. Perfection

Would definitely come back and recommend to others. My partner took me there for my birthday and we had a great meal in a relaxed atmosphere, with very good service and nothing to fault. I wouldn't say it's exactly inexpensive as the prices of tapas...

I was excited to try this place but I was a bit disappointed. Nothing was very memorable, and some dishes seemed a little pricey for what they were. Some were very bland, and seemed pretty basic. The smoked trout was very good, and the pork...

So so so so sooooo good! Service was brilliant, I think it was just the chef and 1 waitress working but we still we’re checked in on and asked if we needed any top ups. The food was DELICIOUS. Honestly couldn’t rate it more highly, pay a visit ASAP. Star of the show was the pork belly - we actually ordered seconds! We were gutted there was no Arancini left, but I guess this means we need to pay another visit???

Good menu. Minimalistic, just a few dishes but good quality products. I find the portions quite small considering the price. The place is tiny but okay atmosphere overall.

Very disappointing given how much this place has been recommended. Undercooked and black potatoes, sauce out of a jar and one member of staff rather patronising when we complained ( about the potatoes).

My friend and I visited on the Monday night which is Eighty Eight's taster Menu night. It's 5 courses for £25 per person. The food was rich and delicious, small shaing plates but it was definitely enough for 2 people...although a dessert each would have just been the best as it was absolutely delicious! The photo's are better doing the talking but the pasta (red pepper pesto) and the goats cheese custard with fennel bread were my personal highlights... and of course the chocolate dessert which I just wish there had been more of. I'd definitely go back but would like to try the wine list next time! 😉
