Ocho on the Canal in Glasgow City

Amazing coffee, pastries and service!

Perfect spot in beautiful canal location. Two of us said food was fab but l thought mine was mediocre. Service could be improved ~ forgot coffee we ordered and had to be asked for butter for toast. That said the coffee was delicious and they took coffees off final bill which was good. Definitely worth a visit if you’re looking for something different.

Wonderful food, Wonderful staff..pet friendly..Took my dog there today , she had doggy dinner. Food is super tasty. All fantastic 👏 yayyyyyyy xxxx

Amazingly busy, since it's a wee bit out of the way. Cyclists & walkers on the canal path? It is a fab location which seems to care about dietary needs. Staff are very attentive, so recommend by me.

A fantastic experience today at Ocho. Turkish eggs were a 10/10, really delicious! My dog Lily loved her puppiccino and cookie too, thank you so much! Staff were absolutely fantastic and went above and beyond. Really great experience and will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

Busy we cafe restaurant with great selection

I recently visited the charming Ocho Canal Side Café, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, with beautiful views of the canal that make it a perfect spot for a leisurely lunch. I decided to try their toasted sandwich and tomato soup, and I was not disappointed. The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful filling. They offered a variety of options, and I chose the classic ham and cheese. The combination of savoury ham and melted cheese was simply delicious. The tomato soup was the highlight of my meal. It was rich and creamy, with a hint of herbs that really elevated the flavours. It paired wonderfully with the toasted sandwich, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the picturesque setting. Overall, I would highly recommend Ocho Canal Café for anyone looking for a cosy spot to enjoy a great toasted sandwich and a bowl of comforting tomato soup. I look forward to returning and trying more from their menu!

Lovely little find at Speirs Wharf. Staff friendly, atmosphere is really nice and the soup was delicious. Also offers gluten free options.

Lovely food with good location just off the canal. Excellent baby changing facilities.

Absolutely loved it, best lunch I've had in a long time, staff were so lovely and my dog loved his own wee lunch too

- welcoming and caring staff - nice and good atmosphere - ordered their special Turkish breakfast. It was delicious. I enjoyed every bite of it Overall, great experience and highly recommended. Note to the owner: I saw you allow dogs inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to animals. Please pay attention

Such a cool wee place on the canal. Lovely food, friendly staff. Awesome dog friendly service too. I'll be back. :)

Lovely cafe off beaten track, food is freshly made to order and delicious. Service could be slightly better but overall would be back

Edit; 14/06/24 , yet another wonderful visit; thanks, Maddie! Such genuine customer care goes such a long way 🫶 Outstanding service from Blair! She creates a genuinely welcoming chill atmosphere, the pancakes were fab! Thanks again chef (didn't catch your name sorry) for doing dairy free for me 👏 will absolutely be back!

Very slow service, alright food :)

Probably the best brunch spot in Glasgow - it’s a hidden gem!

All around fantastic. Super friendly staff, gorgeous cafe, best French vanilla latte I’ve had since I moved here two years ago 🙌🏻

Lovely staff, beautiful location, amazing waffles & even better flat whites! Ticked all the boxes for us today. Thanks for having us

Lovely restaurant on Speirs Wharf

£14 for 'sultans eggs' that consisted of 2 pieces of toast, 2 eggs, and some feta. All topped off with some very watery cream sauce. Pretty overpriced and not with the money.

I went here for breakfast this morning. I had the hot salmon signature and a flat white. The food was absolutely delicious and the coffee was excellent. It was lovely inside and it’s dog friendly! I’ll be bringing along my dachshund next time 😊

LOVE THIS PLACE. Such a vibe , the location is fab, food and coffee are always top quality and the staff and customers are super friendly

Absolutely fantastic. Great food, great music, friendly staff. Would encourage everyone to try Ocho

Amazing food! Build your own brunch with so many options so there is something to suit everyone’s taste. Staff were all lovely and the vibe was fab! Right next to the canal. Glad we randomly came across this place. What a result! Phwoar!

Ocho has presented itself as a worthy Cafe to be enjoyed, and that was the plan when Myself and my partner along with baby decided to make this our sunday brunch location, after going through some excessive parking procedure , we were asked if we had a booking , which we replied no sorry, and we were told "ok no problem , let us check" with 2 tables empty and it being 11:30am we were told sorry they are "about" to be fully booked for the day which meant for the next 4hrs 30mins. Website not clear that you should make a booking before you come so you are not disappointed. Honestly being the only asain people there , we felt no effort was even attempted to be made to acccomodate, and they were not bother of losing our custom, Brown must not be the usual crowd... Will make sure that this is known within the community.

I went to this place with my family, there were 3 tables that were lying empty but the girl on the counter was so rude as she said we are booked for the full day and theae tables are fully booked.... obviously we were the only brown people there that felt very racist

Food is good but the service and staff is excellent. London Fog (earl grey with milk froth) was tasty. Make sure it’s not a date if you’re going for the Turkish Eggs. Decent garlic! Build your brunch is the best! Definitely would go back for more.

Nice place and excellent coffee ♥️

Place is really cute. Doesn’t have parking which made it a little difficult to access as we had to find parking then walk there. But it’s a nice walk! The wait staff attention to detail could be better. Had to remind twice for water, I asked what a couple things on the menu were and they weren’t sure. I was given no cutlery when I got my meal which I had to ask for. The atmosphere was lovely. And the food ok. I made the wrong choice! The Dog menu is a cute touch!

Owner is a crook, don’t give him your money

Great food and friendly service :)

A pain to find parking but a great place for breakfast with your dog! Amazing home made baked beans. 🤤

Great service, nice staff and very accommodating - lots of gluten-free options for coeliacs

Hidden gem for Glasgow. Staff very friendly. Very clean place to sit and have a coffee which is absolutely superb Food for such a small hidden gem is again superb. As we maintain this place I do know how very clean this coffee shop is. Now a Fresh coat of paint going on ready for opening back after the festive.

Smashing place, really well run and very clean, food was amazing. The Turkish Eggs are a must, and you kneed to treat your dog to something off their doggy menu, which is also exceptional

A warm welcome, delicious food and great service in a lovely venue beside the canal. The perfect relaxed Sunday brunch

Brilliant wee place, great food and lovely decor. Fantastic service, even from server with dislocated knee.

First time visitors today & we had a delicious brunch. Such a lovely atmosphere & the staff could not have been more helpful & friendly. Would return for the chilli & lime hollandaise alone!

Great find, fab food & a nice stroll back along the canal after 😊

Finally visited Ocho as it's been on my list to visit since moving to Glasgow years ago. It is a cute small place. Stunning views of Glasgow and a nice canal walk just at the front. Not the easiest place to get to but worth a visit

Had the fantastic Ocho Mackerel today and found it “out this world “an explosion of flavours and REAL fresh food with beautiful coffee .. The staff were fantastic accommodating me in a scooter as Ive broken my leg nothing was to much trouble thanks to Lee for looking after us found a hidden Gem 😊 be back real soon

First of all, if your not within walking distance of this cafe don't bother, parking is a joke and you will be walking 15 minutes around a building that tries hard to copy HMP Shotts before you arrive. The cafe itself is very small and cramped, with a corner table adjacent to the sole toilet on site, not ideal. The menu is small and lazy, using a build your own menu for anything outside of their 4 signature meals, credit due I tried the Turkish eggs and while not a lot of eating it was tasty enough. Staff also keen to usher you out of the door. Must say first and last visit, brunch isn't meant to be this complicated, especially £35 worth of snack.

Had the Scotch Broth soup and it was delicious 😋 Also tied the Christmas blend tea. Highly recommend it 🎅🎄☃️

Wonderful coffee, lovely staff and scones as big as my hand. Awesome!

THE WHOLE PACKAGE! Ocho has it all for me - well presented tasty food at a reasonable price, genuinely lovely, engaging staff....and an incredibly scenic location. I love it and recommend it.

Delicious brunch. Their build your own brunch option on the menu has such tasty options. Loved it! I'll be back :)

Superb coffee great service we will be back.

Really nice place to visit for brunch, food cooked fresh. Something different! There poached eggs are just the best. Coffee is good too! Love there tableware. Proper coffee cups and saucers, actually thought it was Denby.

Some of the best food nice have eaten for a long time.. Great staff. Nice location, by the canal. Parking is tricky but we got a space. The crispy kale was amazing. Steak sandwich was outstanding. And my hot smoked salmon, avocado on sour dough toast with poached eggs. Was also outstanding. Free water to the table. Coffee was first class so was the pot of tea. Booking recommended.

A very good menu and copied well with dietary requirements. Quality of food excellent and very reasonably priced given size and quality of portion. Busy over lunchtime but we booked a table the day before our visit which I would recommend.

Food was fantastic. Lovely location , would definitely visit again

Personnels Très accueillant , bon plats

Lovely food, great choice of menu and great service.

First visit here for cake and coffee choc caramel delicious staff friendly place quite small so could get very busy

Specialty coffees were delicious!! First time in Glasgow &didn’t know it was a bank holiday, yet this place was open, and everyone super kind and accommodating. Will come again :)

After hearing some great reviews about the brunch in Ocho my girlfriend and I decided to give it a try . The experience was absolutely fantastic . The decor was really nice upon entering . The staff were very friendly. The food was brilliant . We started off with a biscoff latte and Americano which was very tasty. I would go back just for that . We went for bavette steak and a chilli eggs with feta combo . The steak was brilliantly cooked and worked well the mayonnaise and vegetables. The eggs and chilli combination was really good and the portion sizes were great. This was finished off with a delicious cherry scone . If you are walking along Glasgow canals turn do take a pop in . You will be very happy with the food .

Love this place, the staff, the fresh produce and of course the amazing brunch food. We are so well looked after everytime ☕

Booked but had to bail because the parking situation is absolutely crazy, get a taxi or don't bother Edit: To the reponse below, the staff were friendly but didn't relay any of this info, came with a baby but would have walked to get there quite happily, surrounding area is mostly motorway and industrial estates so no idea where to begin with parking Also - for clarity Ocho is a 25 minute walk from Queen St station, 10 mins from Cowcaddens subway and 17 mins from Buchanan Bus station to be accurate, sorry

Cracking little place ,difficult parking but still well worth the visit .Two of the best breakfasts we've ever had .quality produce. Definitely a return too eaterie. Happy customer.

Great place to relax and eat only moments from the city centre, yet beside the quiet canal...

We came to this place for breakfast while visiting Glasgow with our kids on a holiday. They serve superb breakfast dishes and the workers are very kind. The place itself is clean & cosy. The kids loved the French Toast dish so much! I do recommend you to try it for sure when you're in the area.

Just off the beaten track of Glasgow City centre sits this small bistro cafe. Sitting on Speirs Wharf it is an ideal watering hole if you are out for a casual walk along the canal. Dog friendly. You can have anything from a carry out coffee and treat to a full sit in meal. Staff and friendly and helpful. The place has clearly had a major refurb and is immaculate inside and spotlessly clean. The interior is very stylish but there are not many tables so best to book in advance if you want a meal. Plenty of good beverages and treats to be had so put this place on your radar.

Very overpriced for what was on offer 😖

Nice place to have a breakfast there and lovely place for couples

Fabulous spot, lovely walk along the canal. Food was spectacular - highly recommend the French toast - and they make a wonderful flat white! Owners and staff as lovely as can be. Highly recommend!

Every visit to Ocho has been an absolute treat. The incredible food, the friendly staff (that includes Henry 🐶) and the beautiful surroundings. l love it every time, especially with the recent refresh. I’ll be back!

Average, actually a bit disappointing. Expensive for what you actually get. Staff are friendly, location is good. Not what it used to be.

This place sets my bar higher, absolutely great brunch today. 2 lovely coffee's 1 caffeinated, 1 decaffeinated) and an awesome full breakfast. Great food and a lovely setting. Big win finding this place.

Amazing little spot on the canal. Owners and staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful. Will definitely be back to see wee Henry 🐶

The food and service were fantastic. I definitely recommend this cafe. We went with some of our friends and had great food, it arrived very quickly and the server was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Another lunch at OCHO did not disappoint. What a delight. Friendly service and lovely coffee. Love the door open in the summer time.

I popped in here on a whim for breakfast after an early morning appointment. The staff were more than happy to answer any questions about the menu. I ended up ordering a breakfast roll, and was able to add fried mushroom, and an iron bru. The wait was not very long at all, and the food was absolutely gorgeous. Though it's a small, tucked away place, the atmosphere was really nice and comfortable. I was able to pay by card, and the lady behind the till was very friendly. I'll definitely stop by here again in the future.

If you are looking for an amazing meal whether a special occasion or not, this is the place to go! The meal was fantastic, so fresh and a well planned menu. The cocktails hit the mark and the coffee was the best I'd tasted since I visited Rome, I even got one to go! The staff were very attentive and were on hand for any requests. I like to go to a restaurant where you can see what is happening in the kitchen so full marks all around. Well done Ocho.

Always great. Best breakfast in town!

Gorgeous recent revamp on this cafe, such a relaxing and friendly environment. This is our regular and for a good reason - The food is so tasty and there's always such a variety. The coffee is fantastic too and the owners have made a real effort to have products from Scottish producers. It's a guaranteed good trip here and being sat by the canal is so lovely! Would recommend to anyone.

A gorgeous recent revamp on this cafe,creating a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. The food is fantastic, always tasty and there's a real variation available. As well as great vegan and veggie options. Very reasonably priced for the great quality. It's our 'go to' to take visiting family or friends, as it never disappoints. The coffee is so tasty and the new owners have made a real effort to buy many products from Scottish producers. A very dog friendly spot too, ideal before s walk along the lovely canal. All round fantastic food spot.

Slow service, ashame because it's in a lovely setting

Service was great, staff were welcoming, attentive, kind to our dog and set a lovely environment in the cafe. Food was delicious, full of flavour and fried foods weren't greasy at all, suggesting good quality ingredients. I'd have loved more home baking choices with my tea. Coffee was perfect, made with oat milk. A lovely spot to enjoy a leisurely lunch, I would (and have) recommend 😋 😀

My new fav cafe! Loved the coffee, was very tasty. Cafe inside is lovely too. There are few children’s books and they make us with little people feel very welcome. Nice clean toilet too!

great café,, sitting next to the canal,,great weather,,good coffee,, brilliant

Great brunch, fresh and tasty, real attention to detail watching the chef so I'm confident everything would be as good as the choices we made - dog friendly as well.

Lovely coffee - great setting by the canal

Having heard good things about this place we decided to try it and we weren’t disappointed, would recommend and will be returning!

Cutest little cafe/brunch spot in Spiers wharf. Lovely location. Wanna go back when the sun is shining. Food was delicious, I ordered pancakes which I did not regret!! And the staff were very polite and friendly. Looking forward to going back.

Incredible food, lovely staff. Gem of a find, highly recommend.

Just had the most amazing brunch at Ocho. We had the "build your own" which was amazing and so delicious. Lovely setting just out of town. Staff were friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Lovely cosy cafe with waterside view. :-)

Another of one of Glasgow’s hidden gems been many times a never been disappointed. Great food and amazing location.

Disappointing. The good points are lovely coffee, friendly barista and dog friendliness. Most expensive cafe prices in the whole of Glasgow so was expecting good things, however the salmon dish wasn't served as described (no slaw) and was very basic, small (one small slice of bread) simple and bland with literally a speck of sauce (£14 btw). When I highlighted there was no slaw I was left feeling like I was just being difficult and was just told that's how they serve it? (Why say something else on menu then?) They did take 20% off the dish (still nowhere near worth this price) but it felt grudging. It also took almost an hour to arrive so incredibly slow for 2 even if busy and paying took a while too.

Was here on Sunday for breakfast as we were walking along the canal. Thought we would chance it as it was just after opening and we eventually got seated after a bit of head scratching by the staff. Place is nice inside and they let doggies in also which is a nice wee bonus (love dogs). Food was totally fine but nothing memorable (black pudding was really, really good) but the menu was a bit all over the place tbh. From watching the comings and goings during our long waiting for food it seemed more of a social club for the people who live in Speirs Wharf than a Café and the chef spending more time chatting to the regulars than getting dishes out the kitchen.

Amazing little place tucked next to the canal. Beautiful surroundings. Absolutely amazing healthy unique food. Quiet atmosphere. Best food I've seen or tasted. The presentation is second to nun

I ordered flat white and the coffee was so good. For breakfast iI ordered their 4 mushrooms meal and oh it was also delicious. Springy, fresh and cooked well, I love it. Kudos to the chef. If anything, they could really improve on the side dish, which was cod fish. Cod was cooked perfectly but way too salty almost like salted fish I didnt enjoyed it at all. Overall, a gem by the canal. Must visit.

The food was really good. The view was amazing. We definitely will be back .

The refreshed new OCHO has a welcoming buzz about it. Friendly staff, good food and the best “flat white” coffee I have ever tasted.

The food and coffee are so good in the place. Has a very ambient welcoming feel to it also.

Amazing brunch spot! The food was really tasty and reasonably priced also. We will definitely be back

The food and service were outstanding! Best breakfast I’ve been to by a mile!

This was really very good coffee and what a view when you step out.

Lovely cosy wee coffee shop. Lovely food & staff but our order took over 40mins. *pre book if you're going.

What's not to love. Always fresh and delicious. Lovely staff. Make sure to book
