Five March in Glasgow City

Had a lovely experience at the restaurant today. The food was phenomenal; light, creative and full of flavour.

Lovely staff and very tasty food. Zingy pickles and kimchi, the steak was beautifully done. It was all great. We have agreed it’s been one of our fave in Glasgow. Cocktail no.7 (cognac, vermouth, amaro) was excellent. What really won me tho is that our lovely waitress packaged the left over mackerel up separately for my cats 🥹😻 they LOVED it 🥰

Local, high quality food, extravagant and interesting staff,

Booked on the back of good reviews from various sources. Sorry but found the food far from the standard that the fine Glasgow food scene serves up at many restaurants. Would like to be more positive but can’t be.

I was given a voucher for Five March and had an excellent experience there today. The restaurant is basic in decor but welcoming. Staff were friendly and helpful with suggestions. Menu is based on small plates. Each dish ordered was flavoursome, presented well and delicious. I would definitely recommend it.

Now my favourite restaurant in Glasgow. Used to be Stravaigin but their vegan options are lacking and extortionate for what you’re getting whereas Five March are doing great-sized sharing plates, with loads of veggie, vegan or meat/fish options so something for everyone and they’re very reasonably priced. Love the atmosphere and everything about this place. If you haven’t been already then what are you waiting for?

Have been here time and time again - consistently delicious and they truly understand how to bring out the best in flavours. Cocktails are delicious too! Highly recommend if you haven’t been. Small dishes to share - would probably suggest 2-3 per adult.

Brilliant food and service. Bonus tip - ask why it’s called Five March…

The bar staff are without a doubt an incredible and talented team here. Every single cocktail was delicious, creative and just beautiful to look at. Would happily return just to sit at the bar and go through them all :) Staff were mainly unobtrusive and relaxed. The only issue being the younger woman with the short brown hair and silver earrings(?). It's a new experience to have someone serve me whilst silently hissing at me through the entirety of their face. I've worked within hospitality for 10+ years and found your contempt borderline repellant. When paying the bill we almost tipped twice as I hadn't noticed there was a service charge already on there. No problem with this. Of course the team deserve a fair tip for all the work they've done and the invisible magic that goes on behind the scenes. My issue is that it was clear we didn't know it had already been added (we were a table of 2) and naturally I would expect staff to be transparent about this when it's obvious we haven't looked at the receipt prior to you taking our payment. You certainly made zero attempts at building rapport with us (even remaining begrudgingly sulky and solemn when most people ask how the food was) so a double tip really shouldn't have been expected. Food was fantastic, thoughtful and plentiful. Thanks for what was largely a really delicious experience :)

I'm extremely peaky when it comes about food, especially after I come back from my holidays in Italy, I can easily burst into tears if the food is not at a high standard. What can I say about this restaurant? The food arrived, I tasted it and I couldn't stop smiling. Omg, amazing was reductive to describe the dishes we had. This is officially my favourite restaurant in Glasgow and from now on I will dine here every time I come back from Italy to feel less homesick. The service was also really lovely, the staff was welcoming and the service quality was great. Awesome wines, cocktails and even better food. I couldn't have asked for any better. We will definitely come back and I couldn't recommend this restaurant enough 🤩

Food was incredibly tasty and the service was the perfect balance of attentive without being overly-eager. Thank you! We’ll be back! ❤️

Second time I’ve been here now and it was better than the first. Great casual and relaxed service from the guys and food was lovely

we went for dinner last night at five march and had a fab time. food was all delicious, really interesting flavour combinations and decent sized portions for a small plates place. the serving staff were very helpful and friendly: a couple of us had dietary requirements (vegan/allergies) and the staff were super accommodating and provided an annotated menu with options crossed out or suggested substitutes. couldn’t fault it- we will definitely be back 👏🏼

Venue is nice and have that cosy feel. Service was good. We are a group of 15 people and they managed to serve every dish right without the need to asked “who ordered x y z”? Christmas menu food was good, enjoyable and tasty. We booked for 17 and 2 can’t come due to sickness. Staff said that will be full charge, but when I asked if those two person’s food will be served for table to share , they said no . I asked if just two desserts can be served , the answer was still negative. I found this unusual . Fair enough if food /ingredients are prepared and they need to charge for no show. But if full charge then what’s wrong with serving the food that got fully paid for? Not to say at £55 per head with service charge it is £60 per person cost ? If they only charge part of the cost for no show then I can understand why not provide food. But full price but you don’t get the food is probably not quite fair. All in all , food is good but just be careful with group booking to avoid no-show cost. Probably better to book conservatively or let people in your team know in advance that they are still expected to pay full if no show .

The food was delicious and so fresh. The menu options were great too. Sadly we were quite let down by the service, as the waiters barely came to our table and it was really difficult to get them to come over. We were a table of 5 so expected a slightly better service as everything else was so great.

Everything from the entry way to the staff team was superb...the food was absolutely banging, the lighting, the atmosphere and the dry but gentle banter from the guy serving just doubled my experience 👌 Absolutely top quality place for a munch...bravo 🙌👏 Ps my photo isn't great as I was focused on eating it 🤷‍♂️

Amazing! Great food, drinks & service.

What a cracking restaurant! A very warm welcome, great friendly service, lovely atmosphere. Beautiful cocktails. Food was so good!! Great menu, waiter guided us on how much to order and was spot on. Honestly one of the best restaurant experiences I can remember. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening.

I would never have known about Five March if it hadn't been for a review in The Times which placed it in the Top 10 of Glasgow restaurants. One word encapsulates our experience: flavour. From our cocktails before our meal to the veggie tapas, the chicken and the ice cream. Great find!

First of all, I will openly admit our party of 7 were 12 minutes late for our 6.30pm booking. However, that being said I have never, in ANY restaurant, ANYWHERE, experienced a “countdown” when dishes are being served to the table. The dining experience at Five March is contemporary sharing, so dishes come as when ready. (On their timescale, not ours) Nothing new here, granted, but also very enjoyable and sociable in the right environment…..BUT not when the serving staff put down each dish and tell you the time left you have to eat them! The whole sociable, dining, sharing and enjoyment of some exceptional food is very spoiled and is incredibly rushed with staff laying down dishes saying “30mins”, “20 mins”, “15 mins”…..REALLY!?! Many similar style restaurants in Glasgow are elevating the small plate dining experience to a much better level overall. We certainly won’t be returning to Five March which is sad, as the food is sensational but being force fed into an eating time slot is not. (Incase of any doubt. All dishes were ordered in one order. We were not offered any coffee, dessert or after dinner drinks as our time was up. Bill was concluded and we were gone by 8.25pm)

The food was average compared to the price. Nothing really impressive or sophisticated. But pricey. The wine was bad but the coctails were nice. Good ambiance. Staff was friendely but was holding a clock over out heads! When we reached our 2-hour slot they repeteadly reminded us to go! Wont go again!

One of my favourite places to dine in. The small plates are to die for, and the cocktails are well curated. Can't fault the service one bit and when made aware my partner and I were both Vegan, the menu was explained well and made clear as to what was available to us (also what could be changed to be made available). If you haven't been, you really must, well worth treating yourself to!

usually a favourite of mine but recent visit left a lot to be desired… maybe a new chef ? do we really need to be putting that many sesame seeds on EVERYTHING ? all dishes were very under seasoned. fried chicken was chewy and far too sweet in my opinion. perhaps made a few wrong choices as some dishes on the menu sounded lovely so will come back and try again in a few months.

The food was really delicious and original. I went with friends and we shared all the starters and the fried chicken. Every dish without exception was so tasty but the potatoes were incredible. Make sure you have room for a pudding as the banana one is an excellent sticky toffee and is accompanied by sesame ice cream which may well be the best ice cream you will ever eat. On top off all this the service was lovely, friendly and attentive. This is a great place which we are already recommending to everyone we know.

This is an absolute gem of a find. We went after reading a fantastic review in The Times and it is every bit as good as they said. The food is original, exciting and really delicious. The plates are for sharing and everyone we had was amazing, all the starters were great but the potatoes were incredible. Make sure you save room for a pudding as the sesame ice cream might be the best thing you eat for a very long time. The service we received was also lovely, they couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. We have recommended this place to everyone we have spoken to since.

Visiting family in Scotland I had no expectations of anything more than standard fare and I couldn’t have more wrong! Walking through an anonymous entrance into a delightfully welcoming space already I knew that this was going to be far more than average. The staff were all friendly, charming and helpful in navigating the tasting menu that promised so many interesting flavour combinations. We watched with fascination as the head chef created his plates with such artistic attention to detail that our levels of anticipation were heightened… and the food did not disappoint - each beautiful plate offered stunning and intriguing tastes that sparked lively appreciative conversation. The morning after we are still talking about it - it was truly a wonderful experience with some of the best food that I have had for a very long time!

Off the beaten track, hidden gem with unexpectedly delightful and unique sharing dishes. I am rarely surprised by restaurant food but this was definitely a cut above my expectations. Highly recommend making this your next destination for relaxed dining in Glasgow

Fantastic evening , food really lovely , lovely atmosphere, definitely recommend here .

My favorite meal of my trip (including Paris). The coley was perfectly cooked and I could drink a bowl of the broth. The Caesar, and baba ghanoush were also lovely.

Fantastic spot loved the variety of dishes.

Excellent quality food and wine with friendly service. All the dishes we had were superbly cooked and full of flavour. One of best meals out I have had in a while. Very well worth a visit.

One of the best places to eat in Glasgow

Wine is expensive! A bottle of basic house red £30! Then there is the ‘service charge’ 10% . Sneaked onto bill. Service was friendly but slow and not worth 10% charge. Overall experience was that the food was good but not exceptional and it felt like I had been ripped off by cost of wine and service charge. Would probably not go back.

Five March was a lovely dinning experience with friends. The staff were attentive and helpful. We ordered 10 dishes and each dish was different from the next. A few of the memorable dishes were the polenta cubes, mackerel and trout (melted in my mouth). Plus 2 bottles of a beautiful white Tempranillo. Highly recommend.

Beautiful food - friendly staff - great meal. Like a taster menu to share. Delicate fresh tasting and fun.

Creative delicious small plates. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Service was impeccable too. Definitely recommend!

Great flavors, friendly service; highly recommended

Great food and drinks. Friendly staff. Tried pigeon for the first time and actually enjoyed it. The Sunday Share is a pretty good deal for 2.

A great find, look forward to returning soon.

We had - Olives - Sourdough & Whipped Butter - Fried Spuds - Pork Loin - Trout Tartare - Burrata - Hierloom Tomatoes - Baklava All delicious with the real highlights being the Burrata garnished with smokey oil, walnuts and grapes as well as the Pork Loin and Trout. We really enjoyed the bottle of White Rioja too. I would have preferred lower lighting, more candles and music a little higher for the atmosphere.

Enjoyable small plates, will definitely return

Great find! Minimalist decor and fabulous sharing plates with lovely friendly staff. Great mixture of clientele too . All in all feels a very relaxed, friendly vibe in which to eat stunning food. Their Fried Spuds with aioli may not sound exotic but they are just so moreish! Slightly pricey but not in a Michelin star bracket thankfully but food does certainly compete with a certain well known Michelin star restaurant in Glasgow!

One of the biggest surprises that the city of Glasgow has prepared for us this year. A friend of mine uses the expression "fireworks of taste" for such a menu, which, together with the pleasant service and the correct timing of the appetizers and meals that we shared on the advice of the waiter, brought us a real culinary experience. Definitely a run-up to the Michelin rating, and in a moderate environment and space where it is definitely worth going out for food with the best price/performance/experience ratio.

everything was 10/10. the mackerel & sea trout in particular. absolutely stunning. staff so friendly & knowledgable. everything came out at a really nice pace & the cocktails paired nicely with the meal. thanks

Nice staff, tasty food. Mackerel was small but delicious! Hot dog was a disappointment, tough rubbery texture and bun was dry. I've had better at the cinema. It doesn't fit with the menu, I think you should remove it and replace it with something better.

The dishes were a delightful mix of flavors and textures that tantalized our taste buds. The staff suggested we order five dishes, which I felt was too much, so we ordered four instead. However, we found that the portion sizes of the main courses were quite large, and as a result, we almost couldn't finish the last plate.

Best food we’ve had in a long time! Pork loin was incredible! Satay cauliflower amazing! Five march spuds always a winner! Got all 3 deserts as they all sounded amazing! And they were! Can’t wait to go back!

Thoughtful, inventive, and delicious modern regional cuisine, in a simple and casual atmosphere. Additionally, this was my third time back over a span of two years, and have not ever been disappointed. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

A local friend from Glasgow took us there. And she is definitely a local because the place was super super good. Every dish we tried was unique and tasty, even something basic as potatoes. The drinks were really good and different.

One of the best yet oddest(interesting) dining experiences I've ever had, but loved the combination of trendy styling and food combo. Food style was a series of small plates to make a sharer style meal. Staff we're great and attentive, the cocktails were very good... and importantly the food was cooked to perfection. Must admit I did find the style of the dishes a bit awkward (maybe more me than the restaurant). However, was very memorable and think everyone needs to try this place at least once.

Stunnin night! Gorg food, banging drinks, with wholesome and knowledgeable service. Conor looked after us and he was a dream. I cannot wait to go back.

Amazing food and great service. All staff are well informed and its a lovely space to dine. Thanks.

My second visit, again was fantastic. Food was delicious, especially the veg dishes. Good offering of cocktails or soft drinks. Desserts and coffees were lush. Great service and a fair bill.

my favourite restaurants in Glasgow!! Amazing food, drinks and service. Always my first to recommend for friends coming to Glasgow.

Used to be a nice food experience every time but not last time. Food was stale and poor quality. The staff was well trained to respond “we’ll let the chef know” when I made them aware of my disappointment, probably not the first time they have this feedback! Not to mention they brought out 10 dishes to the table within 15 minutes, trying to squeeze them all - is this a restaurant? haha. Don’t take late bookings if you rushing to close! extra star for the sourdough bread

This review is for Morning Glory Great western Road. Why are they not on trip advisor separately. Looking for early morning coffee They open at 8am. Dragged my husband over fromHillhead underground. Great menu the overnight oats seemed popular, but, I went for the bacon...

Decor feels a bit like a cafeteria, super pretentious menu, glacial service that pushed way too hard to upsell us to 5 plates when 3 would have been plenty and 4 was too much. Food tasted Ok, can't say I would return. Would have been annoyed had I opted for that fifth plate. A touch over hyped, try 111 by Modu instead, cheaper and better tasting small plate menu.

Went on a Friday night, place was busy but relaxed and there was seating inside and outside for the brave souls. Seats were right out of a school assembly hall but surprisingly comfortable and it immediately felt like the best kind of hidden gem that...

Decor bit like dinner school but busy. Food was good. We started getting hassled out 20 mins b4 table was due back. Paid £32 for bottle of white wine but had to leave some as we ran out of time😪

We had such a good meal here tonight! The staff told us it was a new menu and we absolutely loved it. We had the spuds (obviously), cauliflower, blue cheese salad, lamb and pork dishes. Then for desert the chocolate moose. It was delicious and we loved the vibe too. Staff were so attentive and super friendly!

We went with the fish and recommendations by the staff, and we were not disappointed. Even the pork belly, which usually isn't in our top dishes, was excellent. The first was also very good, but we would've preferred a different citrus (though this is mostly a taste preference). The staff was also very nice. Multiple options in a nice atmosphere. Would definitely go again, on a date or with friends. PS: the burger looked fantastic.

The food is amazing, lovely service, place full & a little noisy but that really worth it. They are really concerned about the allergies & doing our possible to give the best service... It's like we never stayed alone because our main waiter always checked on us.amazing experience!

Fantastic food! Honestly delicious, the lamb was tender it melted like butter. Great mix of flavours and our server (a girl from America, sorry I can’t remember her name) was fab and really friendly. I’ve only marked it down slightly as they don’t have wine...

Food and service was great. Had a £100 gift voucher to spend. Being small sharing plates difficult to keep count of spending. When the bill came only to £71 and requesting £9 be taken as a tip, I was horrified to be told that they could neither give me my change of £20 or mark my gift voucher with that amount which I could have had used on a future visit. This was their policy I was told, but no mention of that had been printed on the voucher or mentioned to me when I booked. Resultantly, when showing my displeasure I was offered and accepted a £10 bottle of wine. I will therefore never return to Five March, and I feel that my daughter who very kindly had given me this as a birthday gift has been robbed. So, buyer beware!!!

The food is 5star! We started with the sourdough bread, whipped butter, and sea salt. Which was a perfect way to start. Followed by The Burrata, charred leak, cashew, basil. Smoked haddock croquette, chive, crispy cappers, preserved lemon Duck breast, charred corn, szechuan pepper, confit shallot. The burrata was exceptional, one of the best we have eaten. The smoked haddock was beautifully smoked, and the preserved lemon added a lovely finish to it. The duck breast was cooked to perfection with such a rich taste. To finished we had the chocolate mousse, kalamansi, cacao nib, sorrel Lemon posset, honeycomb, bee pollen Both were fantastic! 2 glasses of red wine and a gin and soda to enjoy with the meal. The chef has created a beautifully crafted menu of taste sensations. I would advise anyone to eat here. You will not be disappointed. And to top it off the staff were as good as the food

Interesting menu, but the obvious animosity between servers and seeming indifference of one of them led to a mediocre dining experience.

You can't talk about Glasgow dining without talking about Five March. Everyone who knows flavour in Glasgow absolutely adores this place. Tess has kept the bar beloved by the entire community. Her and her team continuously produce unbelievably delicious cocktails with comfortable elevated service, and they make it look so easy you'll be tricked into thinking you're talking to a pal rather than the intuitive, talented, experienced hospitality geniuses they are. This review feels superfluous because everyone has already told you to go to Five March so stop reading this and just go have some of the best cocktails, food, and hospitality Glasgow has to offer.

I wish this place could live up to what it used to be- we would come here religiously .. while we understand the price increases, however we cannot help but wonder why the quality and servings have gone low .. best example is the Panisse.. what used to be a beautiful dish, accompanied by horseradish, dill , peanuts, and many other herbs, has turned into a dull, reduced, small snack which doesn’t do its forerunner any justice .. five March , please come back to life 🥺

Arrived on time at 6 pm..first drink 30 minutes. Menu is awful waitress spilled bottle of coke down one guests new outfit. Mussels in a sauce that tasted so weird I thought it was off. Starters out of a comedy book. Highlight was potato and dip. Sour dough bread. Will we be ba k definitely not ..waste of 600 plus quid

Took an hour for the first small plate to arrive. Then ages for additional plates to arrive. Staff we preoccupied with other issues. Food undercooked, unseasoned and over sweet.

Always amazing food and drinks, has never disappointed in many visits

Food is nice. Service is friendly but quite a relaxed pace.

Incredible - we went as a table of 13 (sorry for the strain this must have caused), the service was attentive and quick, the menu was varied and every dish was delicious; and the portions were a good size for 2-3 people each to sample. We all had a wonderful time. The atmosphere is cozy and feels high end, yet cost us approx £40 each! Thank you to all the staff.

An informal welcoming restaurant with really good staff. Sharing style of menu with reasonable choice. This is perhaps my own problem but with lots of different bits, the meal doesn’t hang together. Some of the sauces seemed to lack flavour. Reasonably priced and good place...

Slightly hard to find but worth it. Essentially, it's small plates for sharing, a very good selection and very well done. Mussels, pork with black pudding and fried potatoes were particular highlights. The wine list is also strong. Staff are friendly and helpful: the room is a wee bit barn-like but it's a pleasant enough atmosphere. For the quality of the cooking, it's good value

Food is excellent: very good seasonal products and chef’s creativity is mind blowing. Natural wines and friendly staff

Cocktails are amazing and the food is divine - Five March is my favourite restaurant in Glasgow

I have been several times & the food is always interesting & excellent, the surrounding atmosphere is comfortable & welcoming and the service attentive & slick. I would go more often but I live over 60 miles away.

So disappointing. 50th bday dinner. Table for six booked for 830. But they’re not ready. OK so we go to a nearby bar and buy drinks. Back to restaurant at 915pm. Seated. Given water. Then nothing for 15 mins. Flag down a waiter. Order drinks....

My first time and was really impressed with the food. Absolutely delicious. The salt baked celeriac was out of this world. Service was great, very friendly and welcoming. We were in early so atmosphere was non existent but will definitely come back with larger party.

What a dining delight. The food was faultless,the staff knew the menu inside out and their recommendations were bang on the money. Atmosphere was crackin. Thanks for a wonderful evening

Very nice food and cocktails experience ! Nice for couples

TRENDY WITH TERRIFIC FOOD! What a vibrant and funky restaurant. The young staff were super friendly, energised and engaging right from the get-go. They were also adept at explaining the intracies and options of the small plates set up. We had both vegetarians and carnivores in our small group and thus managed to sample a fair chunk of the menu. The vegetarian dishes where a huge hit and the meat courses well presented and well tasty too. The staff were happy to make up cocktails which didn't appear on the menu, which is always a nice touch. It's a sizeable place with cool decor, a fair amount of tables and a nice buzz about it The price for the quality was absolutely fine too. Well worth a visit.

Pretty good food but disappointing that I was told by the restaurant that bathroom would be wheelchair accessible and turned out not to be - wouldn’t have bothered booking if I had known.

Lovely food in a friendly relaxed environment. Highly recommend

Fantastic small plates, at a ridiculously reasonable price. Some of the best food I've had in a long while. A really nice atmosphere in the restaurant. We had 5 small plates between two of is and it was just right. All brought out at the right pace and in sensible combinations. Two deserts (both options!) which were also delicious. Highly recommended.

We had lunch today and the food was incredible. I don’t think I have ever been so impressed on my first visit to a restaurant. The hummus was outstanding. The beetroot and chipotle incredible. Both the beef short rib and venison tartare amazing. Can’t recommend...

Beetroot dish was fantastic. Lovely presentation of dishes. Pork was beautifully cooked and the Geordie waiter was observant and friendly. Overall wonderful experience.

Connor and Kilpick were fab. 5 star service, cocktails and food. Everything was amazing but the standouts were the mackerel, the watermelon salad and the roasted beetroot. Reminds me quite of bit of Lyle’s in London.

Food is always good. The waiting staff however are on another level. Friendly, funny and relaxed!!

Came before going to the Hydro. We had a beer each, nice to see sours on the menu. I am vegetarian would have liked more choice. Hubby had mackerel and burger. We shared bread, hummus and potatoes. All very tasty. I had the cabbage but...

Fortunate to try Five March's latest tasting menu we found the food to be exceptional in our tastes and matched with the relaxed and attentive service. The clever designs of the dishes to match the Calvados pairing was great fun and not to be taken...

Little pricey but food very tasty 😋

We ate here after a day out at the Burrell collection. The staff were friendly and helpful and the food was delicious across a selection of meat, fish and vegetable sharing plates. Washed down with a remarkable Lebanese rose from the short but very interesting...

The food was good but i still felt hungry after! Was advised to order about 4 plates for 2 people but definitely not enough. Was a bit late to order more as kitchen was closed/closing. Never have i left a restaurant feeling still hungry. Poor value for money. Even though the food was good im not sure i would visit again.

Brilliant long afternoon eating and drinking. Excellent Bloody Mary.

I was on my own, but this place would be a better place to visit with friends as they excel at sharing platters. Innovative menu and not expensive. Worth a visit

Far too rushed. Been to Five March many times and am very disappointed after This most recent experience. Fried spuds dumped on the table and told I was off to a ‘strong start’. When I asked if they could be kept warm until my burger...

Great food and our waiter was brilliant.

Staff absolutely brilliant! Keep up the good work! And yes as predicted I paid the bill!!! Thanks for making the start of my wee (18 years d) girl’s birthday night special and letting me hate crash the party!!!
