Pescado Tapas, Glasgow in Glasgow City

My partner and I visited Pescados last night and we really enjoyed the food. The seafood is delicious, fresh and well prepared. Unfortunately, the restaurant seemed to be suffering some serious management issues in terms of staff. Our waiter seemed absolutely rushed off his feet, manically running around and trying to meet orders. We twice asked for a dessert that never came and in the end we just got the bill and left. I don't think it's the fault of the waiting staff, it seemed more poor decision making from higher up, perhaps not having enough people working on a Friday night. Either way it was a shame because the food is very nice.

Having not been for awhile I believe the restaurant has a new owner who I think owns Tinto as well. Shame..food not exactly hot and quite bland and not half as good as our last visit. Can honestly say that Malaga in Pollokshields is far superior than most of its competitors around Glasgow. .

Just watch your bill for added extra's....... We had the 3 oysters and prosecco deal for £10 and take away paella over for £5 amazing offers

Far and away the best seafood I've had in Glasgow over almost two years. The lobster was spectacular, the prawns were delicious, and the cod was better than in any chippy. Everything was fresh and beautiful and amazing, and our server Jazz was terrific and attentive. Highly recommended. Great food and reasonable prices.

Nice relaxed lunch ,food delicious can't understand why this place was so quiet (only 3 tables filled when we were there)it's a wee gem. The monkfish cheeks with chorizo was my favourite along with the baked goats cheese, waiter attentive without being intrusive,would definitely go back.

It was my first visit and first taste of Spanish Quisine and I will definitely be making a return visit

I dined here with my aunts and my two dogs recently on a Saturday afternoon, we had a late lunch. My aunts have been travelling to Spain since they were children and visit frequently, enjoying the real Spain experience as much as possible. We choose from the 3 Tapas deal menu, the selectionis quite varied and there are plenty to choose from. The portions are fairly generous and we thoroughly enjoyed each dish. We had patata bravas, monk fish cheeks with chorizo, gambas pil pil, gamberdini, amongst others. My aunts thought it was better than other tapas restuarants they ahve tried in Glasgow. We had a nice booth at the back, which was great for the dogs to get under the table. The service was prompt and polite.

Great food great selection , friendly helpful staff, prices very good . For seafood lovers and not so much a great wee menu , beautiful wines and sherry. I can’t understand bad reviewers everyone from the chef throughout the table staff are trying so hard. Yes the lavatory needs an improvement in tidiness and presentation but that’s worth a minor irritation for super food .We were two couples and my wife and I have been three times in June already and we love it

Staff were nice, but the food was disappointing, especially due to the fact there are plenty 5 star reviews. The olives were store bought pitted olives and they were stale, the Octopus was absolutely covered in paprika to the point it was as if the lid of the paprika fell off and the chef just went with it. No fresh bread(which was to be expected to be fair), patatas bravas were cooked well but came with a tiny little sauce condiment and was only half filled with shop bought sauce. Worst part about the restaurant was the sangria, was like water, need to send the staff on a little trip to Spain and find out what sangria is really about, till then just don’t order it.

Second time here. Love the food

I had a light breakfast anticipating a fancy lunch at a place on the west end I couldn’t get a dinner reservation at that cancelled on me claiming “police activity in the area” so I ended up wandering around the west and down to the area around Univ of Glasgow and I stumbled on this well reviewed and rated fish centric Spanish tapas place called Pescado tapas. They had a great deal of 3 tapas off their special menu for only $15.95 and there were plenty of sea food options, so I grabbed a solo table and ordered a nice glass of white Rioja, and three tapas - the salt cod (bacala) in a nice broth with what seemed like mashed peas and some flavorful smoked ham flavoring the broth, the small pot of steamed mussels in a creamy broth (delicious enough to eat like a soup) and the monkfish cheeks in a hardy red sauce with chorizo and a nice chunky tomato sauce. I’m usually disappointed by small and costly portions at Tapas places near me in the Bay Area but these three filled me up and I ended up not needing to order anything else. Great tasty meal and if I lived in the area this would be a go to regularly spot. They run this deal (3 tapas for $15.95) until 6:30 PM 7 days a week - NICE ! Only suggestion - pour tap water for the tables. I know you want to sell drinks but tap water should be a regular offering and also put soup spoons on the tables. The broths and sauces are needing spoons ! Otherwise GREAT and HIGHLY recommended place for tapas centric seafood at a fair price !!

Had such a nice meal tonight! All the food ordered was on point and the service was excellent👌🏻 Reasonably priced and good portion sizes🔥

We went for lunch and had the 3 tapas menu. This was delicious & great value. Will definitely be back.

Great wee place which we found accidentally. Food was very good, service super friendly, very reasonably priced and no rush to get us out the door. Will definitely be back 😊

Excellent food, and great value at 3 for £15.95 through the day. Monkfish cheeks a particular highlight. Highly recommend.

Was a lovely lunch, despite the place being quiet, we had great time, nice tapas. And the service was the best 👌 very attentive and amazing stuff, recommend to visit!

Perfect food and service, especially recommend the pealla. The owner is so nice that even drive me home in a raining day when i couldn’t take a Uber. Will definitely come next time.

Food absolutely amazing. Best tapas we’ve had

Probably one of the best tapas I’ve ever had. The mussels and beef strips were to die for. The monkfish with chorizo was also excellent. The only issue was I shared with my wife who didn’t share fairly.

Nice food, nice hosts. Great tapas deal on during the day.

Really enjoyable experience... We were early and they were happy to shut us down.. Definitely not rushed...

Best tapas we’ve ever had! Wonderful food and brilliant staff.

Fab place to eat and staff are lovely

We found this restaurant by chance while walking around Patrick. What a surprise. Fresh tasty tapas at a very reasonable price, well presented and great service. We’ll definitely be back.

Honestly just okay, the staff are lovely but the food is so so. Chewy calamari and not much flavour to the other dishes, maybe just let down due to a busy valentines shift but would probably not go back.

A delicious lunch: all the plates we tried were excellent, especially the salt cod; the monkfish and the fried aubergine. Nice Spanish wines by the glass. On a Tuesday lunchtime in February one wouldn't expect much atmosphere but I was surprised there were no other customers. However the waiter was really friendly. Lunch deal is excellent value and portions are neither too big nor too small. I think they'll want to renovate the toilets before long... Otherwise all great: will definitely be back.

Eaten here a number of times. Fish always fresh and well cooked. Service friendly and helpful. Becoming a Glasgow favourite for me.

Excellent service..food delicious and hot....recommend for fish lovers and none fish lovers

Food was delicious and service good. Staff appeared to look a bit fed up .

First time here. Nice and cozy inside with welcoming staff. Specialises in seafood tapas. Ordered from theTapas £15.95 for 3 plates. Good generois portions and food was delicious; aubergine & honey, lovely garlicky prawns (lots of garlic, as I like it) and patatas bravas. Friend had chicken wings, prawns and beef. We struggled to finish it all. It's one of those places where you think, what a great wee find, 'll definetly be back!

Good food & because we arrived before 6.30pm excellent price

Lovely fresh seafood tapas, good value for money too.

Another fabulous night at this lovely restaurant. Food is always fresh and well presented as well as being extremely tasty and well priced. Staff are very helpful and polite Great atmosphere, and the music is at a level where you can hold a conversation without having to shout

What a lovely little place. Spanish Seafood Tapas but there are a few options for those who aren't keen on fish too. Everything is good quality and beautifully presented. Staff are friendly and welcoming and the prices are good.

Had the most amazing meal, made to feel super welcome and the whole atmosphere was great. Will definitely be back

Avoid avoid - I’m amazed at the five star reviews. There is nothing Spanish about this joint - Turkish. The waiter did not speak English- half the food was very cold and the chicken wings weren’t wings. The chips were reheated. Portions were smallish the ingredients were good quality. I left my scarf -phoned and they said it was there- when I turned up to get it ( all the way from Hamilton) they said they did not have it 😡

Authentic Spanish tapas . Long lunch with friends. Fabulous selection of dishes and tapas . Will return !

You take up over half of the already narrow street with your ridiculously big sign etc

Best of several Tapas restaurants I've tried in Glasgow and many much further away too. Mixture of old favourites and imaginative tapas, all delicious ! Nice restaurant with polite, professional staff.

If you like Spanish tapas..this is defo a place you should go..food is amazing & good sized portions…staff welcoming friendly & always take time to chat this is now a regular place for us to visit…10/10 every time 👌🏻

Lovely food, chilled atmosphere.

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant, the food is outstanding and great value for money which is very rare for West end restaurants! The tapas are authentic and consistently good and the service is also very good.

Excellent quality and service. Great team , great prices, and inventive food.

The food here was beautiful. Amazing flavours and we really loved the whole experience. The portions were great, as was the value for money, and the service. We've already told others to go and we'll be back as soon as we can. Thanks for a lovely evening <3

Nice little cafe. Good value tapas.But Turkish staff 😭

I've been here twice now and both times have been excellent. First time as a date and second as a family gathering. The staff have always been amazing and the food delicious.

Lovely venue and food! Great value for money

Expectations were exceeded on all fronts, food was amazing as was the service. We shall be returning. I wholeheartedly recommend anyone to come here.

The most amazing Tapas we have ever had! Unbelievable insane food , the mussles especially! Amazing service , very attentive. Highly recommend this restaurant

Seafood was lovely! Came here for dinner with friends, nice staff, and atmosphere. It was nice to share the tapas. I'd only say some dishes were more generous than others for similar prices just so you are aware.

Really lovely, delicious food and friendly service. Wine was also very good. Visited for a birthday meal and very much enjoyed. Have been a few times in past and every time it has been great. Great selection and choice on menu. Thank you! Will be back!

Booked for a last minute Saturday evening meal. Delicious, fresh seafood & gorgeous wine. Service was very diligent. Would definitely recommend. Understandably had to wait a while for the paella as it’s cooked fresh, but it was absolutely worth it. Other great dishes included the fried aubergine with Spanish honey and the monkfish and Serrano ham special. Thank you so much!

Food & service was amazing. Lovely place.

Food was amazing and service was great .I would definitely go back again .

We booked this place for a family meal for my dads birthday. Couldn’t rate the place any higher. My dad has mobility issues and the place was very accommodating. The food was delicious, amazing sangria and cocktails and the staff were unreal. They even surprised my dad with cheese cake at the end singing happy birthday. 11/10

Absolutely worth a visit, food great and staff are very attentive and good. Definitely will be back.

Great lunch in here with fantastic service.

Great food great location very friendly staff absolutely loved it

Wonderful service. Great recommendations. We were out for a friend’s 30th and everyone has been so attentive and nice. We’ve had a lovely time!

Excellent food and service. The restaurant is cosy and reminds me of being in Spain in local restaurant. The paella was incredible.

Great wee restaurant. Food amazing. Had the mussels, absolutely amazing and freshly cooked churros. Yum. Staff friendly and very attentive. Will be back

food was lovely and service was great...only gave 4 stars for atmosphere because it was quiet...im surprised this place isnt packed with customers...

Excellent restaurant for sea food tapas

Always amazing..great food and great service. Never a bad meal here

Очень хочется порекомендовать всем обязательно посетить это волшебное заведение!!! Всё безумно вкусно, очень приятные цены и великолепное обслуживание!!!)))) Лучшее место в Глазго!!!)))

My daughter and I dined at Pescado last night and it was utterly amazing! Can’t believe we haven’t visited before and will definitely be returning. The menu selection was mouth watering. Between the salted cod, seafood wrap, monkfish cheeks and mussels etc with a paired house white Pino Grigio we felt we were on holiday despite it being 23/12! Absolutely delicious and very reasonably priced. The restaurant itself is quaint and quirky - a lovely, relaxed, happy space. The manager/ owner Sergio (sorry if I’ve spelt it wrong!) was so lovely and welcoming too! Thank you for an extra special dining experience and hope you have a very Merry Christmas!

Great food. Friendly staff. Music was sublime. Atmosphere enhances your dining experience.

Majoring on fish menu,all Tapas no mains.Has seperate Sherry menu, half bottles of Fino & Manzanilla,plus bottles of Amontillado, Oloroso &Pedro Ximenes; making it a real deal Tapas bar,Caramba! Good selection of Tapas. Now lose boom boom music& all will be good!!!Ask for a Copita glass,proper Sherry glass.Saw Merluzza,Hake whole fish in Morrisons,used to be on menu in past.Put back,I like said.Its no use emptying a full bottle of Fino,when I asked for a half bottle,which they used to have;it wouldn't be as fresh.Get more half bottles,"Its the season to be Sherry ",boom boom!

Best seafood restaurant in Glasgow.

Ottimo ristorante con tapas spagnole

Lovely tapas lunch. Every dish was great. Especially enjoyed the aubergines with honey. Will definitely go back

Saturday Market there. Getting very expensive. Fewer stalls

Really good Tapas prob one of the best I've had Kids really enjoyed it too booked for a Saturday night (no surprise how busy it was).... but service was great and will defiently be back soon.

What a gorgeous place. Should be packed, but other people flock to mainstream chain outlets. 🤔🙄 Lovely welcome and ambience. Tapas freshly cooked and absolutely stunning. Our new favourite place to eat when visiting Glasgow!

Very tasty and good variety of dishes. Coffee was also excellent. Decent amount of on street parking also which was a bonus. I would highly reccomend.

Bland food, no seasoning and overpriced. Seated next to the waitress who was drying (and dropping) cutlery. Waiter didn't seem interested in helping us and very inattentive. Seafood was disappointing. Have been before and loved it, wouldn't go back after our latest experience.

The food was absolutely amazing. Its a Shame I don't live in Glasgow because I would be a frequent customer. The service was fantastic. My boyfriend and i were served by the most lovely, charming, delightful young lady ever, what an utterly beautiful soul. ❤️

Try this place. Excellent service, the food is tasty and authentic. I'll be back.

Don't really use it other than farmers market

Mansfield park gala day on Saturday was wet and windy but despite the weather it was a great day. Lots of entertainment and stalls plus painting workshop for children. Yes it was a dreich day weather-wise but my friends, their children and myself had a fab day and the band played on 😁

There was a band playing today, they were pretty good actually but sadly the weather was against them. We picked up some plant seedlings for 50p each. The stuff in the market there is a bit expensive to use regularly for a lot of produce I feel. Asparagus £3, cup cake £2, hot burgers £5 - £7.50 Home made Indian Curry £5 I've been down there a few times for free festival days, I personally wouldn't call them festivals, they are more like a community get together type thing with a trickle of music. Festival is definitely an oversell and they are a bit underwhelming but they are still nice and good for the community and passers by, bit of atmosphere.

Not much things to do in the park, just a little green and a basketball court... But in the weekend, Saturday every two weeks, there is a farmers market that is very good to eat and buy groceries

First time here today, will definitely be back. First class food and service.

Great selection of tapas at very reasonable prices.

Staff were friendly, but service was incredibly slow. Took 20 minutes to take our drink orders then even more time to take our food. It then took a very long time to receive our tapas, not to mention the langoustines came when we had finished everything else. Food was mediocre, langoustines were tiny with barely any meat in them, and everything else was ok but too overpriced for what you got. Lovely restaurant, might give it the benefit of the doubt and try it again but I really doubt it.

I would take my mum and my dogs 🐕 up daily my mum passed in January and I continued to take my dogs up.

Good place to relax on a sunny day. Lots of shops nearby.

The food and service was excellent.

Wee bit pricey for small oysters

It's a really tasty and fresh seafood/Spanish restaurant. Also, great service, attitude and atmosphere. What's particularly great is that you can tell the restaurant in advance what seafood you want to eat and they will stock it for you. Very nice customer service!

Great farmers market there every second Saturday.

Good to see all the stalls back love the place

Amazing tapas food. Menu is well set out and staff are friendly and knowledgeable about the food that’s being prepared. All food is freshly made and the setting is one of feeling like the family with a wonderful ambiance nothing was to much even slight menus changes. Food did not disappoint and waiting staff always on hand to answer any questions or refill drinks.

Food was unreal, staff were class and friendly, great night /

Lots of new interesting shops. Great food shops.

Stopped by after a friend recommended to us. Planned on getting a take away but as there was a table free we sat in. The food was fantastic and atmosphere relaxed. Highly recommend.

Was lucky enough to be treated to supper here. The service was outstanding. Lucky enough to meet the young chef who had prepared our food, a lovely young man who is clearly vvv talented with a fantastic future ahead of him! Lovely, funny, helpful waitress who had just started the night we visited...she was fantastic, just enough interaction, just enough chat...keep it up. All in all, a fabulous experience. A must...the languistines and lobster...fresh and prepped to perfection! Thank you, a really lovely experience.

Last weekend, my partner and I dined at this establishment. The restaurant appeared to be nice, but the food was terrible and overpriced, the portions were small, the sangria was more like coloured water, and the service was chaotic. We will never return and will warn all of our friends to stay away from this restaurant!

Terrible. Stay away. Dont know how anyone can give this 5 stars. Makes me question the value of these reviews. Staff are friendly. But the food is awful. Greasy. Fish overcooked. And the toilets... both men and ladies had broken toilet seats. Mens urinal broken. No soap in the dispenser. That sums up this place.

As our favourite restaurant was booked out for our anniversary, we took a chance on a new find and we're not disappointed! It may be small but it manages to fit in an extensive menu including some Spanish wines and liqueurs, with a quirky tiled wall displaying daily specials! Friendly service, delicious food and very reasonable prices! Favourites for us were the mixed seafood platter and tempura aubergines with honey! We will be back!
