Jacques in Glasgow City

I stumbled across this restaurant walking back from Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum and University of Glasgow. I had the £6.50 lunch special, choosing the Jacques Monsiour (Croque Monsiour). I was so impressed with the quality of this sandwich. It was delicious, fresh and I thoroughly enjoyed the side salad and coleslaw too! The service was lovely also and as I attended solo, the guy was lovely enough to seat me in my own area to the side which felt very private and relaxing after a long morning of sight seeing! Food, value for money and service were all amazing. I definitely wouldn’t hesitate going again!

Went last night for my birthday. Hadn't been here before. There were 2 of us. Firstly it was very cold, not a pleasant to place to sit and eat or even to have just a drink, we had to keep our coats on throughout. We ordered the peri-peri chicken wings and the pea and saffron arancini, both were not good. The arancini was tasteless and the chicken wings were done in a breadcrumb which was soggy and the chicken blueberry. The mains were a full pot of mussels with soda bread and chips, and chicken in a bun. The mussels were way overcooked and the soda bread doughy. The chicken had obviously been cooked then reheated so it was DRY and for 10 quid you don't expect reheated chicken. Overall it was one of the worst meals in a long time and we passed on pudding or desert and it still came to £48. It's always telling when it's obvious when the server doesn't ask why you have left most of your meal. The next day we both felt a bit icky so I wont be returning to Jacques and I wouldn't recommend to anyone else.

We had such a great meal at Jacques - two people, three courses, one cocktail & one soft drink for £60 including tip, which is great value. We were made aware of the table needing to be returned after 1 1/2 hours in booking, but this was amble time and staff were incredible, especially with dietary requirements. Will definitely be back :)

good atmosphere... right up until the point where the bouncer/management kick you out an hour before they're supposed to close. They have on their website it's open until 1am on a Friday and Saturday - twice i've been here, once on a Friday and once on a Saturday, and twice we've been kicked out, quite abruptly before 12am! When we questioned the manager and bouncer about how the opening times online do not reflect when they actually shut, they simply stated 'we decide when we shut' then proceeded to kick us out. No 'apologies' were offered, and no further explanation. Twice me and my friends have made plans to come here because of their opening hours, and twice we've regretted the decision and moved on to Kelvingrove Cafe (who are actually open until one like they say they are.) Extremely disappointing. We will not be returning here. Avoid if you want to be home later than 12.15am!

Visited here last month for a friends birthday. We had dinner first before moving over to the "treetops" area for drinks where more people were joining us. Service was great, we were always checked on to see how the food was and if we needed more drinks. Everyone was pleased with what they ordered and in particular my friend really enjoyed her tomato and basil tart and the macaroni cheese i had was the best i've ever tried, totally amazing. The rest of the night was brilliant and everyone was always served quickly for drinks. Great place with great atmosphere and surroundings (love the fairy lights). We will definitely be back.

I received a voucher for a chocolate fondant so I booked a table. We ended up having a dinner as well. The ambient is very nice and relaxing. The menue is a little bit confusing to follow and the plate of food for 2 to share was more tgen enough for two people so dont order a side too. Service is hard to be seen even though the place was half empty you have to go to the bar to get attention. You are left on your own... chocolate fondant nothing special at all...

This is such a great place. Cool Bar and good food and great service from friendly staff - can’t wait to go back

Food was good, service ok its the layout at atmosphere that lets Jacques down. Seats not comfortable and a small table for 2. Went on an itison deal, and would go with that again, but would skip the house wine deal.

The starter was nice, a little cheese fondue and melted brie. The main was one of the most bland pasta dishes I've ever had. Fire alarm went off and place filled with smoke which made for a noisy evening meal. Didn't know whether to stay or leave and staff didn't seem too concerned with the smoke or the noise. Not a patch on brel for food or atmosphere but a nice space to sit in I guess if you were there for drinks?

We had an amazing experience here. Sonia behind the bar recommended some cocktails and they were so good we each ordered another 3. All of the staff behind the bar were so friendly and nice, atmosphere was great and we had such a good time. Staff really made this experience amazing so thank you!

First things first - they need to get rid of that wooden reception pod facing the front door. All it seems to accommodate is a laptop! The floor space is completely wasted and makes the layout seem awkward as a consequence. I'd imagine it also deters walk-ins as it creates the perception of it being a barrier to entry. It's nice enough for a drink but the cost of said drinks put us off eating here. £8.40 for a double G&T (leaving aside the wine prices) is very cheeky. Service was a lottery too. Food looked decent from what I could see but this place has a bit of an identity crisis and I don't think I'd choose it over the competition.

Came here with my boyfriend last night to celebrate his birthday. Was a bit nervous about coming after seeing mixed reviews but we were both pleasantly surprised! Lovely place inside and a really good atmosphere we ended up staying after dinner for drinks. All the staff were really friendly especially the girl who was serving us. She was very helpful with giving information about the menu. I ordered the potato rosti with poached egg and avocado for starters and the meat fondue which was so so tasty I would get this again! My boyfriend ordered baked camembert with walnuts and honey which I was very jealous of! And he said his burger was great. I will be coming back for my dads birthday just a really good restaurant!

This bar/restaurant is good either for a drink or for a meal. It has a pleasant and interesting ambience, although the background music is on the loud side. There was good vegetarian choice, and the food was attractively presented. Staff were pleasant and helpful, and keen to enquire about whether everything was OK. Highly recommended.

I went to jaques for the 1st time this weekend for dinner and a catch up with friends, the food was wonderful. I had a cheese burger which was very tasty, great atmosphere. Would highly recommend

Nice decor,good ambiance, very nice staff and the food was delicious. Recommend the cheese or chocolate fondue.

4 of us had dinner in Jacques after being out for the day! We enjoyed the food the cheese fondue! I felt the drinks were very over priced! We paid £27 for a bottle of Prosecco which we did not enjoy! I would expect to...

Pretty mediocre food but a great atmosphere. Staff weren't the best, relatively slow service considering they weren't busy at all.

Went for my boyfriends birthday, food was great, we both really enjoyed it our visit, couldn’t fault it.

Myself and a friend went in on a quiet Monday afternoon as we had never been before and were keen to try the raclette. The bar was very empty. We ordered the raclette for two with an additional four veg sides. Our server brought over...

I’ve only used trip advisor a couple of times but i’ve redownloaded it purely to tell everyone how amazing our experience at Jacques was on Saturday evening... My girlfriend and I were served by a real top gent (tall/blonde lad) who was extremely welcoming, talkative,...

My friends and I treated ourselves to some dinner and drinks here. It’s such a lovely wee place, great atmosphere and the food is flawless. Our steaks were cooked to perfection and the shared chocolate fondue was equally incredible! The staff were lovely as well....

Went to Jacques with three friends and the service was amazing and fast and the food was to die for. Head chef Stevie is an absolutely amazing chef. We ordered three steaks and macaroni and everything came out perfect. The chocolate fondue as a dessert...

Myself and a few friends went for dinner on a Friday night and had an amazing time. 10/10 service 10/10 food Stevie the head chef is one of a kind. Will definitely return again!

We visited Jacques for dinner as its local and new hoping for a great new place to go. I couldn’t have been more wrong. The strangest menu to choose from and over priced. The food was nice enough but nothing new or exciting. The portions...

Found this wonderful place by accident. Very warm welcome friendly service and great seating areas. Loved the solid slabs of wood used for tables, the lighting and decor. The menu is extensive and to my daughters delight had vegan choices which she said were delicious....

Ok it is a busy place and we were on an offer which seemed to provide good value....indeed there was nothing which could be faulted with the starters and fondue being one was an excellent choice. My wife regularly opts for battered fish but that...

Disappointed to be told after an hour and half we need to leave table. As a point of principal would not return due to this!

Had a really lovely meal here with family food delicious seafood stew was very tasty nice ambiance and good service

I got a last minute ITISON deal for Jacques before heading off for a concert. I'm not vegan but meat and dairy intolerant so the vegan options were brilliant for me. I had the mini vegan fondue starter, not so mini, with my friend having...

Food was nice and fairly reasonably priced. Seating arrangements are either large booths and tables or tiny tables for 2 squashed in a corner so parties of 2,3 or 4 not well catered for. Cost of glass of wine was ridiculous. Needless to say, drink...

We had heard about Jacques through the 'grape vine' and we were not disappointed with the venue, the host of cheese dishes on offer or the prices. The servings are in generous portions, especially the bread. Appropriate 'Health & Safety' advice was given with the...

We went here with our toddler and since he eats early stumbled across the £6 mussels and chips if bought before 6pm. It says it is a half portion, but it was still large portion of mussels (I eat a lot) and a normal portion...

OK so the advertising is clear, most things either come with cheese or are made with cheese and this isn’t such a bad thing, in fact we rather enjoyed it! The halloumi bites and baked camembert were obvious cheesy choices though there was some cheese...

Reserved a table for 8 on Saturday evening for 8 people. Drinks only as we had already dined elsewhere. Espresso martinis were delicious. Service good. Will return.

One the plus side, it’s a lively place and they made the effort to slot us in for a hour at 5.30 on a Saturday despite being fully booked. On the minus side, the food was really very average, just above poor, and the menu...

Itison vouchers used for two mains & 2 drinks okay! Wine was mediocre so decided to order 2 large Malbec!!! OMG 😮. After receiving the bill for the extra wine £22.00 😡😡😡. Food was ok, staff ok, ambiance ok, ripoff with drinks, not even in...

Beautiful decor but very disappointed with the slow service received and half frozen food we were served.(.which they deducted £2 off the bill) we had to return part of our shared platter, received fresh hash browns much much later after most of platter had been...

Atmosphere,food and our waitress all fab. Food was exceptionally tasty and the music choice while not loud and overbearing as in some places was excellent ! Would definitely recommend and visit again when next in Glasgow.

Very disappointing. We had arrived for a family members birthday & said we had booked a party platter, half an hour later,we were given menus.After explaining to the waitress we had ordered the party platter when we booked, we waited quite a while (about half...

Had a lovely lunch at Jacques, the decor is lovely and the restaurant is lovely and bright on a sunny day. We were welcomed by a friendly server who I’m sure had an American accent, he was very attentive and made sure we were taken...

Shelter from horrid weather on 6 January came in form of ITISON voucher for bottle of house red and cheese fondue. Really interesting experience as 3YO son was transfixed by its flame and the molten raclette. Ordered veg, chicken and sausage as extras. Worth a...

Having been for a lovely meal at a new local french restaurant, we met friends and went for drinks in Jaques. What a difference..poor service and unhelpful staff on a Sunday evening who gave the impression at 10pm that they wanted to close and go...

The mac and cheese was perfect. Gooey yumminess with crunchy top. The sun-dried tomatoes gave it an extra zing for flavor. Good service!

From the top of the Hop on Hop off I noticed this little bistro, on the second round I got off! What a treat, nice atmosphere, nice staff, beautiful surroundings, excellent food, nice IPA beers on tap, wi downs opened on a nice sunny day!...

We went for a few drinks with the plan of heading out for dinner afterwards but ended up staying for food after seeing the food others ordered - the vegan fondue was incredible!

Chronically understaffed. And that is reflected in the attitude of the staff, barely getting two words out them. We had to ask multiple times to explain the menu. Food was on a par with any ten pin bowling alley you’ll visit. Not often I’d complain...

Early dinner with a friend before a concert. It looked great, nice menu and I enjoyed a flavoursome prawn linguini BUT service was so poor we were constantly waiting and trying to catch any waiter’s attention. This kind of spoiled the experience as we were...

Used an Itison last minute. The staff were very accommodating. Even so, the added starter and desserts were pretty expensive. Food was fine and served quickly. Nothing particularly special but suited a vegetarian in the company.

Popped in for drinks with friends. The boys beers were flat, Gin had only grapefruit. Advertised with other fruits also. Plain glass to boot. For the price you would be expecting a bit better. Us girls love a good gin in a nice glass.There is...

Overated..... no doubt cashing in on the "Finneston experience" A few of our party received cold food ,wine was overpriced and a male waiting person argued that their soda bread was of the correct temperature ...it felt and tasted as though it had recently been...

Having been invited to a group outing and read the reviews I was reluctant but have to say the food was nice, the service was good and the price reasonable. Not much room to eat at the table as very busy and personally the menu...

I’ve been in a few times for drinks and lunch. Friendly pleasant service. Had my leaving do last night with 14 of us in the Treetops area and the set menu. We all found the food to be very nice and great value. Two vegans...

Service was excellent. We had meat fondue and the starter cheese fondue for one. Plenty of food, and absolutely delicious. During our visit a very large party of unexpected guests arrived and the service and attention did not falter which is testament to great teamwork!...

I went into Jacques for a drink and sat at an empty table at 1015pm on a Saturday. One of the staff approached me saying that she was watching it for her friends, which were nowhere to be seen. So I told her that I...

Popped in by chance yesterday, a few drinks and light bite to eat. Lovely bar, staff very friendly great experience.

Don't let the lower end of the reviews put you off. We popped in here on the spur of the moment on the way back from a museum visit. So glad we did. We picked the "Moules of the Day" with frites, aioli and bread...

Visited Jacques recently for some food with a friend recently. Cannot fault a thing. The food was excellent and the service was also excellent. Was served by a young girl called Ruth and she was so attentive and friendly. Will definitely return.

Really enjoyed our meal here. Enjoyed taking the time to enjoy our fondue and the flavours were very simple but lovely. Very nice atmosphere and staff.

Been here a few times as I work close but. The food is always fine, nothing to rave about. The chips and Aioli are really good - so moreish.The drinks are yummy but the service at the bar is really really slow! Even on a...

Food was lovely and the staff were friendly and efficient. The french onion soup was delicious. Really liked the decor

My friend and I went for an early dinner using the itison voucher. My Seafood Stew was packed full of flavour and the cocktails were divine. Thank you for a lovely dining experience :)

Me and friend went using a voucher for two mains. Our starters were pretty good, but my friend's steak was a little overdone and my prawn linguine was really bland for a garlic and chilli dish. Service was a little slow at first but I...

We tried to get in for a late lunch around 3pm - was told they were fully booked - heaps of seats, seemed strange as we would be well out by the time the dinner trade started. Went back on another day for dinner, food...

Food is average at best. Restaurant is hugely understaffed so we sadly feel foul to slow service, inaccurate orders, forgotten food and just a general awful experience. Much better restaurants nearby, chose any of those

Booked dinner here for Friday night as previously enjoyed this location when it was Chelsea Market. Read a couple of reviews before we went suggesting service not the best. Well we had a great night. The food was very good and excellent value . I...

Was a bit dubious after reading some bad reviews but so glad we went. lovely place with great decor. Friendly inviting staff big shout for Ruth who looked after us all evening and always had a smile on her face keep doing what your doing...

Thursday night table was booked for 19:15. No table ready so we offered to wait at the bar which seemed to more than suit the 2 overworked wait staff as we had to ask for our table eventually. We were sat near the door which...

I love the vibe in this bar, but the bar service is shocking. My partner drinks Guinness but couldn’t drink it here as pipes were off. Sooo difficult to get served, bar staff can’t seem to see you, too busy taking tabs from the tables....

Well... it could be perfect. The food was amazing, the atmosphere was great BUT why don’t you hire guys who wants to smile and wants to work in a restaurant. Our waiter didn’t smile once. Very haughty actually. I am disappointed by his unprofessionalism... so...

I really love this place. It is beautifully decorated and the staff are so friendly and welcoming. My boyfriend and I had a great vegan meal here, would definitely recommend!!

Well, finally got here. My other half has been on at me for ages to take her to Jacques, ever since it opened. We visited for lunch and plumped for the mini fondue and chicken tenders as starters, to say that the tenders were large...

We visited for a few drinks before dinner at a different venue. The atmosphere is great, very relaxed and hipster. We each ordered different types of lager, most of which were fine but unfortunately my Heineken was terrible. I returned it to the bar who...

We visited the restaurant using an Itison voucher for main meals for 4. We chose to get starters and desserts as well and we were really pleased we did. For starters we had a fish sharing platter and deep fried haloumi. These dishes did take...

Agree with other reviews. The food and drinks are really good (if a little pricey) but service is just poor - and food took ages to arrive. Couldn’t recommend based off this

We visited with a fondue and wine voucher. Really enjoyed the fondue which was great value with the voucher.we also ordered a mini macaroni cheese which I loved and fries with aioli.would happily return

Went on Saturday night with my husband and friends. I usually look on trip advisor before I go to a restaurant, however my friend recommended here so I just booked it. I have now read some of the other reviews and I am very surprised...

Went to Jacques last night with a few friends and we were extremely dissapointed. The burgers that were ordered were burnt ,as were the buns , to the point that they were almost inedible. Shouldn’t have been served. I ordered moules frites and the mussels...

First visit since it's been taken over and we were very impressed. Decor inside is just gorgeous and it has a very welcoming atmosphere. We had lunch and both really enjoyed our food. Looking forward to coming back and enjoying some other things on the...

Living locally and seeing Jacques was new to Finnieston we decided to book a table for lunch on a Sunday afternoon. We arrived to find the restaurant almost empty apart from one table of fellow diners. Even though we had booked in advance, we were...

Took some of my family to try this place as raclette is one of my favourite foods But....they don't have it right. Decor & atmosphere is great. All staff we're lovely and they are the reason we'd go back but not for the food. Everything...

Food was very good (Steak and Prawn Linguini). The cocktails we chose, were excellent and the in-house background music quite different from the norm ...in a good way!

We were out in Finneston and randomly stopped at Jaques. Had a lovely evening so when I came home and checked Trip Adviser I was very surprised to see so many negative reviews. We found it warm and cosy, and it certainly looked very inviting...

Had an excellent evening at Jacques - really lovely atmosphere and decor, and the macaroni with raclette cheese was very tasty and (I thought) pretty great value at £10. Staff were very pleasant and we never felt rushed, even though we sat chatting for ages...

Went with a couple of friends last night after work! Food was delicious & the service was bang on! The waitress could not have been more attentive. Excellent choice of menu and great atmosphere!

Wasn't really impressed I'm afraid to say..... Went for a girly lunch and really was a bit disappointed.....

When you open a restaurant in Finnieston you need to raise the bar - Jacques have managed to lower it ! I'm planning a birthday meal with friends and family for the end of the month. I thought I would try Jacques with my wife...

We visited with an itison voucher which got us a main course each and either a cocktail or s’mores dessert. The venue is lovely. The service was prompt and we were given a good booth seat even though there were only 2 of us. I...

Seating is around the walls mostly because of the huge bar. The room is over lit, fake plants and very small tables for 2 are not great. Service (only 2 staff) for a Friday lunch, but they were swift and friendly, making this a relaxed...

Went in for a drink only. Ordered their own brand of champagne which was lovely and very reasonably priced in comaprison to glasgow city centre. Felt however that it lacked any kind of atmosphere or warmth. The menu was not very exciting either. Would recommend...

The place is really nice but we cut our visit short as it was really cold inside. Wine is also overpriced and there aren’t many options. Plus they served us red wine which was way too cold. On a positive note the service was really...

Went for dinner before christmas with 2 friends. No offer of festive menu advertised. We all had starters, 2 x Halloumi & 1 Tiger Prawns. The prawns which were edible were nice, however, the rest had not been de-veined and so could not be eaten....

Came here in between Christmas and New Year with the hubby and the food was really tasty. I had the mushroom risotto and my other half had the onion soup and mussels. Both dishes were fab and reasonably priced. It has a bohemian atmosphere with...

The restaurant was generally cold with intermittent cold draughts blasting in. So not the most pleasant atmosphere- lots of people including ourselves had coats on. Had to wait ages for menus and a drinks order. However once they got going the staff were nice. Food...

We had the mini camembert which came with some sweet cake to dip in the cheese. Just broke into the cheese and the combination of sweet cake with the savoury cheese was very unpleasant. Should be firm toasted bread to allow you to scoop the...

We went to Jacques for our work Christmas lunch. We ordered a mix of dishes including the meat fondue. As none of us had ever had fondue before we presumed the meat fondue involved pieces of meat to be dipped into a cheese fondue. What...

Was in recently for a meal and drinks. I must have been told 6 times I had to leave before a certain time. That was no problem at all, but it certainly doesn't make you feel welcome or relaxed when you are repeatedly told. The...

Dined at Jacques with family, food was amazing and tasty, ½ pot of moules x 2 portions to start,great portion size, sauce - med. tomato and white wine so much flavor only thing missing was the lemon wipes for hands . Steak was perfectly cooked...

Family lunch, it was OK to be honest except for the cheese fondue, something I - usually - love! I reckon this was made with cheddar, not raclette and gruyere, it was really very unpleasant, sufficiently so that we didn't finish it, a first with...

Disappointed that this place is such a let down. The concept is great, but from our experience, we would neither recommend nor return. Hubby had moule/ frites in the flavour of the week, which was described as Thai, served with some fries, and brioche, which...

We hired out the Treetops space in Jacques for a baby shower, it was the ideal size for our party & the staff were very helpful. We ordered a selection of starters to share, all of which were delicious, the croquettes in particular. The majority...
