Lobo in Glasgow City

Loved everything about the dining experience here. Service was lovely, staff are so friendly and so welcoming. Ambiance was perfect. Felt very comfortable and relaxed. The food was delicious, pretty, interesting and unpretentious. A top notch experience from start to finish. Will be back in a heartbeat. Thank you so much Lobo.

An excellent, local small plates restaurant, with decent cocktails and a small but well chosen wine list. Truly enjoyable ambience and welcome, and really good cooking. Highly recommended.

Great food, music and atmosphere. Went here for a birthday celebration and was so glad I did. Tasftiest food I've had in Glasgow. Went for 6 plates between 2 of us and we were stuffed by the end. Highlights were the flatbread, tortilla, mackerel and leeks and the mushroom Ragu.

Perfect meal out! Totally delicious.

Very inattentive staff, we’re never checked in on. Had to ask multiple times for additional drinks. Amount of salmon is laughable.

A fantastic Mediterranean small plates brunch. The flavours were delicious, a great balance of contrasts without being overpowering. Both the pickled cucumber and the merguez sausages were particularly noteworthy although it was all very good. Planning to come back soon, we will definitely be making a reservation. We were fortunate to get a table for 2 as walk-ins, others were turned away whilst we were there.

Absolutely lovely atmosphere! The service was so kind, and the coffee delicious. Can't recommend enough!

Superb. Best tapas I've ever had. Prawns were cooked perfrctly and the sauce they were in was 👌 goats cheese on a bread thing.....again superb. The man who served us was a pleasure. A must try

Such nice service and lovely vibes from Danny and his handsome colleague 🌱

I recently dined at Lobo in South Side, and while there were some highlights, particularly with the food, the overall experience was deeply disappointing due to significant service failures. Starting with the good: the goat cheese appetizer was outstanding. The cheese was creamy, tangy, and perfectly complemented by a drizzle of honey. It was the kind of dish that leaves a lasting impression, and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone visiting Lobo. However, the main course was where things went downhill. I ordered the prawns, expecting a delightful dish, but they arrived cold, which was disappointing right off the bat. To make matters worse, the prawns were served in the shell, and I wasn’t aware that I would need to de-prawn them myself. I’m not very familiar with eating prawns, so I wanted to ask the waiter for some guidance on how to properly eat them. Here’s where the experience truly soured. Despite there being only two occupied tables in the entire restaurant, the waiter ignored my attempts to get his attention multiple times. After waiting far too long, I finally had to walk up to the service desk to ask for help. When I finally confronted the waiter about the issue, his response was shocking. Instead of offering assistance, he told me it was my fault for ordering the prawns and that I should know how to eat them. I was taken aback by his rudeness and lack of professionalism. I had only wanted some advice on how to enjoy the dish, as I was excited to try something new, especially after traveling all the way from the city center just for this meal. In the end, I was left £28 out of pocket for prawns I couldn’t eat, all because the waiter was unwilling to provide basic customer service. The experience was incredibly upsetting, especially considering how excited I had been to try this restaurant. While Lobo has potential with its excellent goat cheese appetizer, the unprofessional and dismissive attitude of the staff, coupled with poor service, made for an incredibly disappointing dining experience. I hope the management takes these issues seriously and works to ensure that future diners are treated with the respect and assistance they deserve. Working in the service industry myself, I found this upsetting as people in the service industry are meant to look out for each other… This will discussed further on my review page

So cute for a girls date. Amazing food and the mocktails looked so amazing we could not resist (did not disappoint) The staff were lovely and helpful (thank you Danny) and I also appreciate the choice to decorate with local Glasgow artists.

Very nice restaurant. Simple menu, tasty dishes. Relaxed atmosphere and nice service. Recommended!

Best restaurant I’ve been to in Glasgow for months - 5 ⭐️. Each of the dishes we tried here were incredible, but I highly recommend - Warm focaccia with whipped tomato butter - Heritage tomato, ajo blanco - Gnocchi, peas, ricotta, Parmesan - Roast potatoes, mojo verde We also couldn’t believe how reasonably priced Lobo is, can’t wait to go back. Great for veggies, too!

Solid menu with well thought through sharing plates. Great veggie options all with a great Yotam influence. Thank you for a great night. Again in June 2024 Lobo remains true to my previous comments. Lovely staff great cocktails, and excellent veggie food. Was a brilliant treat to eat there again. We were well looked after. Thank you again.

Small plates at an exceptional level. Lots of phenomenal flavours across veg, fish and meat. Wine choice is class. Service is brilliant. A must visit for lunch or dinner in Glasgow. Will be back again and again!

Found this great place by chance Food is delicious and different Good for vegetarians and meat eaters Desserts were scrumptious

Fantastic food and service! We had the roast chicken, fried gnocchi, mackerel, garlic panisse with smoked aubergine and blue cheese croquettes. Every single dish was lovely. Unfortunately had no room left for dessert. We enjoyed the meal thoroughly and would definitely come back for more.

I read a review on Lobo and decided to give it a go for one of my two nights in Glasgow and I am so glad I did. The menu is small and well curated and the wine list a brilliant accompaniment. The place is cute (edgy?) tiny and tended to by local university students who seemed genuinely interested in you as their guests. But most importantly the food is amazing. Tapas style but the portions are large and well crafted. Each dish that came out from the little kitchen was better than the last. My only regret was that I didn’t have enough room to try more. Maybe next time. I have only done this once before in my life but the food was so good I went back to the kitchen to thank the chef personally. If you can get a table go. You will not be disappointed I promise you.

Great food served by attentive and friendly staff.

Incredible restaurant. Other reviews sum it up.

Really good addition to South Side eating.

Great place. Food was excellent, really enjoyed it. Will definitely be back

What pants service, clearly had loads of tables but had an issue with us having a baby and not wanting to have us.

Nice food and warm welcoming staff.

Attended for lunch. Service was a bit slow and I has to attract waiters attention by approaching counter twice. There was only one other table occupied. Advised to have 4 or 5 tapas between 2. Tapas portions were a good size. We had the lamb meatballs, the peppers, the chicken wings and the smoked beets and smoked haddock with grapefruit. The concerning thing to me was that the smoked haddock was completely raw.I highlighted this to the waiter who said it was ok as was smoked. I couldn't eat it as was concerned it would make me ill. On researching it really looks like raw uncooked haddock is a health risk. I wasn't sure the waiter took my point as he just seemed to think i didnt like it. I apologise if I'm wrong but better safe than sorry. Cold smoked haddock and cold smoked salmon are not the same thing.

One of the best meals I’ve had in Glasgow … or anywhere. Staggeringly good — go, go, go.

Superb! The food was very good and creative. Staff was friendly. Had a great time there.

The manager is horrible and rude, really awful and forgets it's based in the southside of Glasgow not London !

Amazing food and cocktails. Can’t wait to go back!

We went with the family for my birthday. With six people we were able to try everything on the menu and loved it all, veggies meat and fish. Also the wine of the week was excellent. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommended

Extremely nice eatery in Glasgow serving very good food with great service. Make sure to get the fritters, croquettas and sweet potatoes.

I guess a 4.9 star rating after more than 175 reviews says it all. Lobo is one of the best eateries in Glasgow's Southside. They do small sharing plates like so many places in Glasgow do. But at Lobo's the plates are actually large enough that everyone at the table gets more than just a wee bite. And every bite is absolutely packed with flavour. Their menu is constantly changing, which is great so it never gets boring. All their dishes are creative combination of seasonal ingredients and boldly flavoured. Staff is always friendly and the interior is very cozy.

Visited a few times since my son bought flat nearby, always been great food good selection of veggie options, can be busy failed to get a table on one occasion so maybe check with them.

Food was amazing, service great although it was super busy. This is my second time here and I would go back again! Specials are incredible

Simply, wonderful. We ordered 5 sharing plates each was excellent, great combinations of taste and texture. We got lucky and picked up at the last minute a cancelation otherwise we would have missed out on this gem of a place. Every table was full but that just made for a great atmosphere in an intimate unpretentious space, service was good but it’s the food that means we will be back for more.

Comida muy buena, un lugar muy recomendable

Amazing place with great, friendly staff, a lovely vibe and some really excellent food 🤩

A fantastic atmospheric place with great prices and fantastic taste. The music sound was also great. Love the idea of the changing menu every month. Will definitely visit again.

Wonderful lunch with some lovely red wine. Tasty small plates which were well cooked and quite substantial. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly host. Will definitely be back.

Our best meal in Glasgow by some margin (and the other places were decent!). Simple menu, smallish plates that were great to share. Incredible flavours, presentation and quality of produce. The hake, falafels and pumpkin were stunning. Lovely staff, laid back atmosphere and relaxing evening. An easy hop on the train, just 2 stops from Glasgow Central. Can't recommend highly enough.

Friendly staff, amazingly delicious small plates, would definitely recommend.

Great option for dinner on the southside of Glasgow, delicious food and friendly staff who are knowledgeable about the food.

Fantastic little eatery. Delicious food and cocktails and the staff / owner have a genuine passion in the food and ensuring you have a good experience.

Super Essen, hab ich nicht erwartet, leckere Tapas 👍

Great food and great service. The tomato butter is amazing, the croquettes were a flavour explosion and when I die I want them to bury me with a plate of their potatoes. The staff were friendly and very accommodating. All in all, I would recommend Lobo to anyone looking for a great small plates restaurant and will definitely be going back.

Had a delicious lunch today with my daughter. Stand out dishes were the potatoes, the blue cheese croquettes and the cured salmon. The service was fantastic, one server on but so friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and chilled. Music playlist was perfect too. If I could give an extra 5* for the Mariah Carey poster I would. Thanks, will be back again soon

Great food but pretty horrendous service. Haven’t had such frosty welcome and interactions anywhere else. When paying I shared ‘can I leave some feedback that I wasn’t happy with the reception and the point that…’ but before I could finish my sentence (it was about the frosty reception and interactions) Danny who said he was the owner (turns out he isn’t) was incredibly rude - as we were leaving he said ‘everything was fine until you said you weren’t happy with something. Danny is the name for your review’ - beyond anything I’ve experienced anywhere.

Food is ok but not amazing. Reasonable choice for veggies. Service very friendly.

Absolutely delicious food.. A bit like luxury tapas. Service was friendly and attentive.

The food was incredible, everything tasted so fresh and full of flavour. The service was really good too, with friendly helpful staff. Would definitely recommend!

Great food, small plates style. Highly recommend the potatoes. The staff were helpful and explained the menu and roughly how much to order, 2-3 plates per person. Wouldn't really recommend it for large groups but with a friend or two, it's great.

The food was innovative and beautifully presented. Simple ingredients were elevated with clever use of spices and garnishes. Definitely the place to visit again 🙂. Lovely and friendly service made it a very relaxing experience. Thank you

Lovely food, friendly/chilled staff, really nice vibe generally! Would recommend and will definitely be back!!

Had a brilliant date night here. Food was delicious, bacalao stuffed peppers, gorgonzola croquetas and panzanella a highlight for us. Cocktails were also excellent. We were pleasantly surprised by the generous portions and the staff were really friendly.

Interesting food, great service, and excellent quality.

Un buen restaurante de comida mediterránea con toques orientales. Sabores distintos y gastronomía cuidada. Las raciones adecuadas.

Great atmosphere in this cosy diner. Sterling service too. Good quality wines at a reasonable price (the skin contact Orange wine most enjoyable). The harissa spiced aubergine was fabulous, along with the lamb meatballs. The salted cod in stuffed pepper was heavenly, which we ate with the rosemary focaccia. Rounded off with an exquisite lemon tart. A great dining experience. Thanks Lobo team - we will be back!

Consistently really great experience at Lobo! The pricing is very reasonable and the service feels friendly and causal while being extremely knowledgable about the produce and wine. Fantastic option for vegans and meat eaters to dine together. Possibly my favourite small plate venue in Glasgow at the moment. Atmosphere loses 1 star because the centre tables for two can feel a little exposed.

The loveliest staff, the greatest food. When the menu changes I don't even need to ask any questions, I just know everything will be delicious!

The food is decent but in my opinion it’s really quite overpriced. The lamb meatballs were a highlight but the best part was the friendly staff. The other dishes were quite simple for being ~£10-14 taster plates.

Disappointingly hit or miss depending on when you go. 2022 - 5* experience 2023 - food overly saturated in oil and I was ill afterwards. Unsure if chefs changed?

Delicious food, ace service, reasonable prices - would really recommend!

Our second time eating here, it’s a must every time we come to Glasgow. Great service + guys, lovely atmosphere and every single plate of food is fantastic and tasty. It’s also very good value! Can’t recommend enough

Loved Lobo when I went, great quality food and decent sized portions for a small plates style restaurants. Very relaxed and cosy atmosphere inside. Bill for two came to £80 which include a bottle of wine, thought that was very reasonably priced for quality scran. Will definitely be back.

Staff were super accommodating and friendly, the food was honestly just too good. Really nice ambience in there and good tunes. It felt like the staff enjoyed working there together and as a team, which is really good to see and definitely attributed to such a lovely dining experience. The chickpea fritters, the chorizo dish and lamb kofta were my faves but everything we ate was so good. Very filling so come with an empty stomach!

Bangin' food. Dishes are filling! Try some orange wine you won't regret it.

Lovely food in a cosy space with friendly staff. The herb panisse was a highlight but all of the dishes were tasty. The bill was also pretty reasonable.

Menu too narrow and too meaty. Music too noisy. Service excellent.

Lunch at Lobo with family. Food was really delicious, the service was friendly and efficient. Loved the vibe in the place and we will definitely be back! Also, their cocktail of the week was exceptional.

Very cute and cosy atmosphere. The food is delicious and unique, dishes are small but filling.

Lobo is a rare gem that has it nailed on all fronts: amazing, warm staff and atmosphere from the second you walk in, delicious interesting (and v generous!) sharing plates and 10/10 cocktails and wine selection. It’s the perfect spot for all occasions- a Southside staple!

We've been to Lobo several times, and it is always incredible. Fantastic food and generous portions, great drinks selection, really friendly staff and a brilliant atmosphere. Southside is lucky to have Lobo!

Best food in Glasgow. The salt cod with squid ink ailoi was incredible.

I am fully obsessed with Lobo - gorgeous and inventive flavours, everything is cooked to perfection, definitely the best meals out I've ever had, hence all the return visits! The team are so lovely, it's my go to place for celebrations now and they always go out of their way to make visits extra special. The menu changes frequently so there's always something new to try, they also have a fab vegan menu, and wonderful drink selection including great soft drink options. The prices are also extremely competitive for how stunning the meals are, you could easily expect to pay at least double for dishes of this standard elsewhere in town. A must try!! 💖

Unreal food at super cheap prices. Love this place.

The food is absolutely superb - I have not been able to stop thinking about how incredible the focaccia is since my last visit, and the fish dishes were to die for. Staff were an absolute delight, and when I messed up and accidentally lost a gift voucher, they went out of their way to help me. The restaurant itself has a welcoming, lowkey vibe and it's such a pleasure to eat there. Lobo is a very easy place to recommend, and I'd return in a heartbeat.

Amazing food and atmosphere, the staff were friendly, welcoming and quick to serve you. They're always adding new and exciting dishes, so there's always something brand new every time you go!

Continuing to serve really fantastic food...and of course their excellent service...

Second time at Lobo and it was just as fantastic as the first! The new menu is great (tip: get the panisse), staff were helpful, and they have orange wine!! Left feeling very happy.

Outstanding flavours, outstanding service, great value, great meal. Two teenage daughters and both Mum and Dad loved the meal. A great dinner option on the southside of Glasgow.

Very, very much enjoyed. The food was excellent and the portion sizes justified the price of some of the more expensive dishes. We had a couple of babies and they were more than happy to accommodate; that said pram parking is at a premium. Nice ambiance, fair wine list and cosy. Assume the menu rotates regularly but will find out on a return trip.

The food was excellent, the staff were excellent, the whole thing was excellent. Will absolutely be back in the future. Special thanks as well to Lobo for allowing us to move our booking by 1 hour because our train was delayed. They didn't have to do this at a busy time of year. Easiest 5 stars ever ✨️

5th time in there and will be back again. You can't pick a wrong dish off the menu brilliant everytime.

Exceptionally fabulous service and amazing tasting food. Small dishes from a minimal menu, meaning what they do is done extremely well. We had eight small (not so small) dishes between three of us and struggled to finish them. Brilliant choice for vegans and vegetarians, would highly recommend booking ahead to experience this wee gem 💎

We had to book well in advance to get a seat and was well worth it. The menu is not long but has a carefully thought through selection of dishes of Mediterranean inspiration. Very nicely prepared with some unusual ingredients. The wine list also is not long but has the range you want suited to the cuisine. My only cavil is the noise. Were the music turned down a notch or two, the patrons would not need to speak loudly and I'd be giving five stars.

So, so good! Every plate of food was delicious, portions generous and staff lovely. We'll be back very soon!

Staff really friendly and welcoming, can't fault them. Lovely selection of bottled drinks too. The food however (autumn menu)... We were pretty disappointed to be honest. There were too many overwhelming flavours competing with each other. The plates were ok on their own (aside from the parsnip one, which was fab!). Would've thought with tapas you'd want to design each dish to complement the others, but every plate worked against each other. The heavy spiciness of the chicken kebab especially just ruined the whole meal. With the outstanding reviews and price point, expected a lot better. Maybe just poor timing and other menus have been a lot more cohesive.

We had lunch at Lobo. The food was so good! Great place for lunch and dinner. Lovely decor too.

Great wine, great food, great service. All round lovely spot!

Great food, fast delivery,amazing customer service

Fantastic - the best restaurant we have been to in Glasgow by far. Could not recommend highly enough and an absolute BARGAIN for what it is.

Stayed in town for the weekend and taken to Lobo by family who live locally. This was an excellent evening , terrific food great atmosphere. Highly recommended.

Great staff, great food, great atmosphere

Really tasty and great wine selection 🌞

Quite honestly one of the best meals I've had in years. We shared the chicken, cauliflower, crab, and focaccia dishes. I will be thinking about this meal for years to come. The staff are also absolutely great.

Really great food and great atmosphere in the restaurant, this was our 3rd time here and it didn’t disappoint, the two main waiters who served us were excellent, friendly and helpful. Only reason not 5 stars is a bit awkwardly at the end a third waiter asked if we wanted anything else and before we could ask for the bill he told us cause our time was up. Made us feel like we’d overstayed our welcome but we’d been waiting for the bill for a while and the other waiters were busy serving other tables. Made to feel pretty unwelcome at the end.

Really nice experience all round. Great food, and staff were helpful and friendly. Ordered almost every single dish and every one was excellent, would particularly recommend the scallops.

Lovely food, natural wine and dedicated vegan menu (plus points for that) - just such a great spot

Great restaurant, fantastic varied Mediterranean food, friendly service...great value too

Wow!! 🤩 Came across this place and followed on Insta since before it opened! Did not disappoint!! Thankfully we booked a table as people were coming in and getting turned away. The food tho! 👌🏼 So they tell you it’s Mediterranean tapas style but it’s not like your bog standard meatballs, chorizo, prawns etc in the terracotta bowls nonsense - this is proper tasty grub! The flavours are well thought through and plates well presented. They do advise plates won’t come out at the same time but there’s not mega gaps like some places! You are also told if you want to order more you can add on at any time. We were there at lunch and as a table of 4, tried quite a lot of the menu - it was all too good to choose from! The tomato starter and the pea and mint fritters were off the scale!!! The lemon tart was a fantastic finisher too 🍋 I forgot my phone for pics but tbh we just wanted to dive right in anyway! Can’t wait to return and I already know what I’ll be ordering!! 😂😂
