Shandon Belles in Glasgow City

Visited last night. As always excellent service. New menu with lots of choice. Ginger the chef is excellent .Food of highest quality accommodates requests and the food is beautifully presented. Can never find fault with the food here and amazing value for money.

Amazing food, each course was beautifully cooked and presented. Staff were friendly and helpful; efficient and attentive without being intrusive. Relaxed atmosphere. A wee bit out of the city centre but well worth the walk (or taxi fare). Good variety of choices for each course. All the dishes were exceptional but the passion fruit cheesecake was sublime. Prices were very reasonable for the quality with freshly prepared and cooked ingredients.

Mi esposa y yo visitamos este pequeño restaurante durante un fin de semana en Glasgow. Cuenta con un menú variado. El ambiente era genial, el servicio perfecto y la comida excelente. Valor brillante también.

No puedo agradecer lo suficiente al equipo por ayudar a que la fiesta sorpresa de mi esposo sea perfecta. La comida era deliciosa, el vino delicioso. El personal fue muy paciente y considerado cuando todavía estábamos allí tarde. Tener en cuenta que era demasiado problema desde una mesa extra hasta el vino de Buttery. Éramos 16 y una vez que el restaurante se había despejado o se sentía muy íntimo, ya que teníamos el lugar para nosotros. Gran noche tiene por todos.

Fabulosa comida, muy bien presentada. Buen servicio, eficiente pero no intrusivo. A un precio muy razonable Definitivamente vale la pena una visita

Delighted to be back here - visiting Glasgow with my best friend, to whom I'd given an IOU for dinner here as part of her relatively recent 60th birthday present, as I've been banging on to her for years about how much I love this restaurant - she loved it & is definitely a fan!. Food was outstanding, especially my crispy gnocchi & wild mushroom starter - I asked for a spoon to finish every last bit of the delicious sauce, as licking the plate was not an option! Staff as polite, friendly & charming as ever, & the complimentary bottle of wine courtesy of manager Rory because of a mix-up when I was in Glasgow earlier this year was a lovely touch, so thank you for that. I hope the charming gentleman from Brisbane who we met at our hotel & to whom I recommended this restaurant managed to dine here. As I've said before, I can not recommend this place highly enough & look forward to my next visit when I am in Glasgow again.

Lovely restaurant, a pleasure to relax and enjoy great food, served by very pleasant staff. Defiantly will go back.

Un vrai bon restaurant de Glasgow. Plat + dessert = £16. J'ai adoré le haggis et le cheesecake. Service un peu brouillon. Réservation conseillée, la salle est toute petite.

I reviewed this restaurant just over 4 years ago with the title “Great food, value, service...everything”. Many restaurants have ups and downs as waiting staff/chefs/management change but, after various visits since my last review, I’d like to confirm that every single time has been an absolute pleasure. If you’d like some fresh, flavoursome food, reasonably priced and served in a friendly and efficient manner don’t hesitate to visit. My only disappointment was being too full to order a dessert, they all sounded delicious!

As always excellent food in relaxed surroundings.Risotto starter is so good ,highly recommend. The desserts as always were lovely .The staff are friendly ,efficient an knowledgeable.Andrea is always welcoming and friendly and is excellent at recommending/advising on menu.we haven't been anywhere else thst offers this high standard for such excellent value for money.

In Glasgow for the weekend and came across this bistro. Everything about it is fabulous, the food and service is 5 star and I can not recommend enough. It’s great value for money and definitely al a cart. Couldn’t have asked for a better night without the hussell and bussel of Glasgow City Centre on a Saturday night. Cannot believe the quality of the food and wine for the price and once again can not recommend enough. Go if you are in Glasgow.

With friends from Glasgow who recommended this restaurant and we were not disappointed... delicious with a very good selection and attentive service. Well priced and definitely worth another visit the next time we are at the SEC or Armadillo.

Booked through a deal website 2/3 course plus a glass of wine for £16/£19 respectively. Great food and excellent service. 5 star.

A pleasant Saturday night meal in this odd restaurant was very enjoyable if a little weird. The building was set back from the road and in the Autumn darkness looked rather forboding especially as there were few lights, and the fact that the Belles was downstairs under the Buttery was not apparent. But once in, the restaurant was interesting. The decor was a mixture of quaint old fashioned kitchen tables,decorations and ornaments. The service was good with the youngsters doing well, and the place felt comfortable. The food was however modern, and very well done. Preparation was simple, no fancy flounces, and we enjoyed our starters and mains very much, being tasty and filling without being too much. Only one minor complaint, the meringue salted peanut caramel was more of a crunchy concoction and needed to be less hard to compliment the rather tasy malted chocolate and home made (it seemed ) banana icecream. A minor whinge then, when the rest of the meal was very good indeed, and we had a splendid time there. We are not surprised it attracts locals regularly, as visitors to the city we felt we had made a very good choice

Eight of us seated at a table in a pleasant corner location . Excellent service from the young staff . Seafood starter in filo pastry tasty followed by chicken ,whilst simple in execution, was very pleasant . Lots of wine .drinks coffees etc and a bill of less than £300. Well done ! We will be back soon .

Visited here on Saturday 25th August.customer service as always was excellent with efficient courteous helpful and friendly waiters.the food was excellent as always but presentation of the food is lovely too.the beef and the sides were delicious and desserts were lovely.

We have eaten at the Buttery on several occasions and decided to try the Shandon Belles as we had a voucher. Decor was quirky and cosy and staff were friendly. Delicious food and excellent house wine. Portion size was good and look forward to a return visit

The service was excellent and the food was very good. We all had different food and everyone was very happy with their food

Welcoming and attentive staff. Interesting decor. We thought the courses were filling enough for our taste. Delicious vegetarian haggis starter. All in all good value.

Yo, mi esposa y la fuimos a cenar en las leyes antes de un concierto. Había una mesa grande al mismo tiempo y tuvimos que esperar bastante tiempo para pedir a ser tomadas. Es por esto que a pedir platos principales, porque teníamos que coger mucho tiempo. Los platos principales eran caros para las raciones dado. Pagué £12 por una hamburguesa con queso de cabra y patatas fritas de camote. Nada más aunque era mucho más grande de la porción de pollo y carne platos. No era nada especial y comparado con el de arriba con manteca muy simple y pequeña porción. En resumen, no hay nada que destacar.

Fui con mi sobrina, mi hermana y mi madre y tenía una agradable estancia. Nada era demasiada molestia para nuestro camarero James y la comida era de primera clase. Una buena opción para cada campo y no puedo esperar a volver. Han sido las dos mujeres grasa del crujiente varias veces a lo largo de los años y n mucha atención he pagado a shandon belles como pensé que quizás era una sala polivalente para el restaurante. Pude encontrar ninguna pega en absoluto!

After reading some of the feedback on this restaurant I can't believe what so diners expect,anyway about this restaurant,the service was excellent David could not be more attentive as were other waiters were,the starters were first class the soup was really hot ,I had the Parma ham which was plentiful,my wife had the meat dish and I had the salmon both were presented first class,the coffee was piping hot the house red wine was really smooth and the price was better than we expected,on this experience I would strongly recommend this restaurant.

Visited restaurant tonight, had nice starter then gobsnacked when they brought main course. Never in all my life have I seen such stingy portions. They were smaller than the starters. Meal was over in a flash. Never again

Visitamos el Shandon Belles última noche para cenar antes de un espectáculo en el hidromasaje. Habíamos reservado originalmente para las 18:00, pero decidimos adelantarlo a 5. 30:00 así que tienes mucho tiempo para disfrutar de nuestra comida y llegar al mostrar sin prisas. Igual que hicimos. Éramos 3 y tardaron casi 25 minutos para llevar nuestros entrantes, lo que era ridículo ya que no eran exactamente de prisa fuera de sus pies. Nuestros platos principales tomó tan largo y en un momento uno de los servidores se acercó y nos preguntó si queríamos más bebidas y me dijo que estábamos recibiendo preocupado por vez porque estaba tomando tanto tiempo para nuestra comida que venga y nos íbamos a un espectáculo, él no estaba particularmente molesta y simplemente dijo que estaría fuera pronto como nuestra mesa estaba al lado! Por el momento nuestra comida llegó tuvimos que comer, pedir la factura y el perno de la puerta en el 6. 50:00 h.

Visited with family for a birthday celebration. Set menu but with a very good selection to choose from. Quality of food was excellent. Staff friendly and attentive. Great value for money. Can thoroughly recommend a visit to this restaurant.

My partner and I visited this bistro for dinner on Thursday 29th of April. Staff were friendly and attentive from the off set as we hadn’t booked but were happy to accommodate even though they were busy. The decor is lovely, the Shandon has a very rustic and cosy feel to it with modern indie rock music playing throughout the night. The menu was great, loads of options for meat eaters and veggies alike, extensive offer of alcohol and wines available to enjoy with staff that are knowledgeable about the products they sell. There’s absolutely nothing I could fault about this place. I would recommend it to everyone.

Recently visited the Shandon Belles and had a fantastic experience here. The service was excellent and the staff experienced in their job. The three courses dinner is affordable and the beef was excellent !! I higly recommend this place with a cosy and lovely atmosphere !

Brought our two boys for dinner, we and they all loved it. Boys loved the mac and cheese and the puddings and I enjoyed the beef and hand made chips.

I’d been wanting to go here for years so was excited to finally get there. Unfortunately it didn’t live up to expectations. The staff were lovely and perfectly attentive. However, the menu was a bit predictable and certainly not friendly to a table where a significant number were pescatarian as most of the fish dishes also included meat. My starter was the rarebit which was the most disappointing thing and pretty much inedible. The toasted bread was so small it was rock hard and was essentially two very small and dry bits of cheese on toast. For main I had salmon with the Parma ham removed with potatoes and carrots. All tasty and well cooked but really quite boring and something I could cook at home. The pudding was dark chocolate pot. It was ok but wasn’t as described as it was really a chocolate mousse with cream rather than a dark small chocolate pot. Overall just not what I was expecting and felt the menu was very limited.

Had a fantastic experience here. I suffer from allergies and the staff were very helpful with providing information. The food itself was the highlight of the evening. I had the Smoked Arran cheddar rarebit and can't compliment it enough. I had never heard of feather blade cut of beef, so out of curiosity I had to try it... I was not disappointed, very tender. I will be recommending Shandon Belles in the future.

Went here about a week ago. The restaurant itself is really lovely and has a cosy feel to it. I had the goats cheese starter and the salmon wrapped in parma ham for my main. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted amazing, very reasonably priced too and the staff were great! Will definitely be going back for more soon!

Myself and a couple of family members recently visited the Shandon Belles on a Friday evening. The staff were very attentive and friendly. There was an excellent selection on the menu and very reasonably priced (as was the house wine selection). I ordered the grilled courgette, mozzarella starter and the salmon wrapped in parma ham main. Both were good portion size and delicious! Could not receommend this place enough.

I recently had dinner out with a couple of friends at this lovely wee spot in Glasgow. Having never been before and as a vegetarian I was a little apprehensive that the veggie options would be average at best and I would get the dreaded food envy as I watched my pals tuck into some carefully crafted dinner – I couldn’t have been more wrong! Instead I was completely spoiled for choice with a great selection of vegetarian dishes on the main menu and the option of choosing from an alternative vegetarian and vegan specific menu. I ended up opting for the Veg pot pie with cheesy hazelnut crust, which I highly recommend - the crust is delicious!

Cena de negocios noche para tres en una noche de frío y viento de diciembre. No teníamos reserva, pero pensamos que lo oportunidad nuestra suerte. Llegamos alrededor de las 19:00 horas y nos sentaron enseguida que era un buen comienzo de nuestra experiencia.

At last we finally managed to Dine here after talking about trying the SB for the past 2 years.

Otra comida totalmente deliciosa, con el habitual excelente servicio. Como he dicho antes, ojalá viviese más cerca ya que sería un muy regular al cliente. No sé cómo lo hacen para la cantidad que cobran, pero encantados de que continúen haciéndolo. Pequeños para repetir vendrá bien como me puedo manejar 3 campos o al menos 2 cursos y un flan compartida! Con ganas de volver.

Disfrutamos de una comida fantástica aquí. El servicio era amable y profesional. Ambos tuvimos un delicioso pudding negro y apple ensalada para comenzar y luego la carne para platos principales. El ambiente del restaurante es super. Un gran experiencia culinaria.

Lugar fantástico, el personal increíble, la comida de fuera de este mundo. . . . fabulosos cócteles, un tesoro escondido de madrugada. . Tazas. Decoración, luces de colores, una alegría de principio a fin. . . . . .

El conserje en el restaurante no estaba familiarizado con Shannon Belles, pero decidimos ir de todas maneras. Nos dieron un taxi y el viaje fue un poco desalentador, y el área de entrada en la parte trasera del aparcamiento no era muy tranquilizador, pero como nos bajamos y entramos en el comedor, era precioso. Comimos temprano en un sábado por la noche, así que no hay mucha gente en ese punto. Los camareros eran muy agradables y serviciales. Mi marido fue el pescado especial (Coley, creo), y dijo que era excelente. Me dieron el risotto que era muy cremosa. Pudin y el lemon & lime cheesecake para postres. La cena, lados, cervezas y postres vinieron todos de 35 GBP. Es un buen precio para una agradable cena en Glasgow. Lo recomiendo.

El Shandon Belles está ubicado en el sótano de dos Fat Ladies en el crujiente. Si estás buscando una fina cena a la carta y luego diríjase de arriba. No te decepcionará.

El único inconveniente fue que era muy tranquila. La comida era estupenda y el servicio muy bueno, aunque aterrorizada Nichola cuando paramos su tratando de tomar el delicioso pan de distancia. Risotto de morcilla de arranque y espárragos son altamente recomendados.

Fui con un grupo de amigos, uno de ellos era exaltar el restaurante.

Cómo es posible que uno de los restaurantes gourmets que glasgow original para ofrecer un menú de 3 platos bistró abajo para 15 libras? ? Ni idea. Pero fue excepcional. Además de 15 libras botellas de vino. Servicio amable y excelente comida. Brava al chef lo que sucedió en su propio, allí abajo.

Excellent new menu at the Shandon Belles last night, the warm apple and black pudding starter was delicious,as was the spanish stew and homemade soda bread. Lovely refreshing mocktail. The staff were courteous; efficient; knowledgeable about the menu; and very welcoming. They play a big part in the lovely atmosphere!

Shandon Belles has a comfortable and cosy atmosphere, with a traditional feel.The set menu was sufficient - I liked the concept that the chef would rather limit the menu and take the time to prepare it well, instead of spreading themselves too thinly and presenting a variety of mediocre selections.I enjoyed a well prepared and hearty meal in a very comfortable atmosphere.

This was once one of my favourite restaurants in Glasgow. There was nothing wrong with the service or food but left the restaurant thinking I would have been better eating at home. At one time I would leave wondering when I could return. Menu has always been small but still gave a varied selection. Now the menu is rather dull. Disappointing to say the least!

Everything else is great: friendly staff, nice decor, cosy atmosphere. But the choice on the set menu was simply not interesting. It £15 for 3 courses is good value but I'd rather pay £20 or £25 and get something a bit more special. I had deep fried mozzarella followed by steak pie - two dishes I could have got in any Hungry Horse!

Been here several times and very good. On recent visit very disappointing. Limited menu. Standard of food no better than average/poor pub - fish and mushy peas, dry steak pie and over salted stir fry. Will not go back.

Have been to the restaurant about 6 times over the years, the menu has changed significantly since our last visit! Why would you go out for a meal to what is supposedly one of the better restaurants in Glasgow just to get mince and tatties, or fish and mushy peas. Staff and food all remain good, and is good value - just not what I want from this restaurant.Will not vist again, or recommend, until the menu changes.

Went to The Shandon Belles on 5pm deal with friends. We were the only table occupied and the restaurant was very cold. I have been here before and to the restaurant upstairs but the food was not good. My starter was ok but the main course was Steak pie it was dry, not much meat and it tasted sweet. The chips and vegetable was stone cold. This has put me off!

Booked this on a 5pm deal before the Hydro, great staff and food and amazing price, will definitely be back. Also has parking and walkable from town (over new bridge) or Finnieston.

my bf and I found ourselves having a baby-free Tuesday, so decided to go out for dinner. had a quick look on 5pm and saw a deal for Shandon Belles for £8 for 2 courses. I had been before (and liked it - see previous review) so decided we couldn't really go wrong. Tbh, we weren't expecting that much, because, £8 for 2 courses...seems crazy. BUT I couldn't actually believe how lovely our dining experience was from start to finish. Offered tap water as soon as we arrived, lovely, then ordered, was then served bread and butter (tbh - bread actually wasn't the nicest, didn’t taste the freshest, but I cannot complain about this)....for starters I ordered mozzarella with a chilli sauce and my bf ordered pate. Both portions were really big, the mozzarella was smoked, and omg - delicious - 10/10, the chilli sauce it came with was quite mild and complimented it beautifully. My bf ordered the chicken liver pate. It was served as two quite 70's looking piped portions, but again, delicious, and a very generous serving. Pate came with a slice of toast and both had a nice side salad with pesto. Mains - I had steak pie and chips. Steak pie came in a ramekin, nice pieces of well-cooked steak with a thick gravy and shallots, and chips. Steak pie was lovely - not fine dining, obviously, but good tasty hearty food. My bf had the chicken schnitzel. He did enjoy this, it came with spaghetti and a tomato sauce. It wasn't spicy like an arrabbiata, just a tomato sauce. He felt the pasta was a bit watery which meant the chicken became a bit soggy, and also felt the chicken was a bit thick, he prefers his schnitzel thinner. HOWEVER this isn't a complaint either. Service – FANTASTIC. My wine, and our water was topped up regularly, and our server was lovely and professional. I had a half bottle of wine and my bf had 2 bottles of Innis & Gunn, bill all in was £32.00. The wine was £6 and the beer was £5 a bottle. This is absolutely fantastic value for such a great wee restaurant. They do a high tea as well and i cannot wait to bring my family to this as i know they'll love it.

Only came across this place in the off chance they had a table on an early Saturday evening. Much to our delight they had a lot of bookings however could fit us in. The decor was lovely. Took me back to the old days of bistros French style service. Menu was limited but that's a good thing. You know the staff and especially the chefs will have a concise way of sticking to a focussed cooking method and produce food of a good standard. I wasn't disappointed. The rood was great. The service was efficient despite the restaurant getting busier. We didn't feel rushed or ripped off. This place is next to 2 fat ladies the buttery. Will try this another time. Would definitely recommend to friends and anyone looking for a satisfying evening

Was at an event for 30 or so people here. It was a great space for people to mingle in before the meal. Would thoroughly recommend this a venue for anything similar. Excellent service from attentive staff.

Really looking forward to visiting here after having a fantastic experience at the sister restaurant 'Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery'.Really disappointed with the quality of food and service. The choice was poor and even the dishes the food was served in were poor, we were also over charged for wine. Won't be back!

Hemos ido a cenar en Nochevieja a este restaurante y nos ha encantado, una grata sorpresa. La comida exquisita: raciones abundantes pero no excesivas, ingredientes de primera calidad. Hemos tomado el menú de diciembre y ha resultado muy buena relación calidad-precio, el salmón, el risotto y el pudding de navidad extraordinarios. El servicio muy bueno, camareros muy atentos y amables pero no agobiantes. La decoración es muy bonita y auténtica; la única pega es que está un poco alejado del centro y puede ser difícil llegar. Hacía un poco de frío (para unos españoles). Por lo demás, muy recomendable!

I was looking for a restaurant in Glasgow that had a particularly romantic setting and this definitely fit the bill. I have also dined at The Buttery and even though that restaurant is typically more renowned, I actually prefer Belles.There is a very relaxed and comfortable atmosphere unlike most other places in the city centre and the price of the food is very good value for money. I had the grilled coley as my main which was delicious. The service was also an important factor in my overall experience as the staff were attentive, but not overly so.

Nice place, tasty food, decent value, good service and a bit quirky. Enjoyed dinner, would go back and recommend.

Went eary evening and had the 2 course special. Very good. Service ecellent. wine well priced at £6 half bottle. £12 full bottle.Location a bit off the beaten track the other side of M8 from city centre

We tried to get a table at the Two Fat Ladies, but it was full. So we went to the Shandon Belles and were pleasantly surprised. Cosy place, good food, good value.

Beautiful little place hidden on the other side of Argyll street. Excellent food. Served by Natalie who made the experience great. She was friendly, kind and approachable. You could tell she was experienced in her job. Loved the decor. Really lovely atmosphere. Will be coming back soon.

Thought this would be a great pace to finish off a day at the BBC Food Show in the SECC. Unfortunately we were disappointed. Like other reviews the service was poor. In fact it was incredibly slow as if there were a couple of staff members down.Now the food when it came was very good and it was at a very reasonable price but it just seemed to take forever.I started with the Haggis, in fact we pretty much all did and it was very tasty. A great sauce.The meatloaf was my main course and it was a good portion with great flavours. We did not have a sweat.Will I be back probably in the hope that the service was down to staff member being off ill or similar.

The food is good and the service is ok, but the building is cold which takes away from experience .Not the best lunch experience I have ever had, but being with good friends helped

The food and staff were excellent however the table we had was pretty cramped every time the waitress passed we felt the need to move, so felt the table had been put as an afterthought. Didn't spoil our meal but another table would certainly have made more enjoyable considering we had booked in advance

Dinner at Shandon Belles tonight. The set menu is excellent value for money and the food is good but it really felt like the staff didn't want to be there. Let down by poor service.

My friend and I came to the Edinburgh Gin night . It is excellent value for money . We tasted 4 or 5 different gins with petit fours , had a three course meal- all for around £30. The evening was fun, interesting and the staff were fantastic . Looking forward to the next 'Gin Night '.

First time trying out Shandon Belle and had an enjoyable time. A good but small-ish menu, although complimented by a specials board. I was here with my wife and friends and we almost all ordered from the specials board in the end. Drinks and wine list also a touch on the small side, but we ended up just ordering various drinks and wine by the glass rather than buy bottles of wine as we usually do. All starters and mains went down well although personally felt I could have done with a bit more of it, and I am not a particularly big eater. Everything was priced appropriately giving decent value and service was efficient and friendly. Certainly another to add to the list that I will need to return to at some point.

Me and my pal had a great lunch here yesterday. I had an itison voucher, and, although I'd seen the great reviews I was still a bit nervous as I've had a few bad experiences using vouchers in seemingly 'good' restaurants. But I needn't had worried cos this place was great. We both ordered the sirloin steak, which was 6oz and came with garlic butter and fries. It was a VERY generous 6oz! Both cooked to perfection. I had the shandon belle sundae for dessert, which was actually more like a trifle but really delicious, and my friend had the sticky banana sponge which she loved. We also had bread and butter at the table, and were offered more with our mains which I thought was a very nice touch. With the voucher came a gin cocktail, and I have to say, it was honestly the best cocktail I've ever had. Shandon Belle, if you read this, please tell me what was in that!!Service was fantastic, I'll come back here soon.

Visited this restaurant many times and have always been very pleased with overall dining experience,unfortunately on this occasion the food let it down and sadly it was somewhat underwhelming, edible but that was about as much as I can say about it.The staff however were as always very attentive and friendly. Such a pity as I had chosen this venue for a night out with family on holiday from Grenoble, and had told them how highly my husband and I rated it.

We came to Shandon Belles for a 2-course lunch. The soup starter was nice but my friend's haggis starter did not have any turnip nor did the bacon cream sauce taste of bacon, or in fact anything. My friend had a chicken pie for her main course that only hard one piece of chicken in it. My main was gnocchi which was battered and deep fried and looked like it had come out of the freezer. Very poor. We won't be going again.

Decided to try somewhere I hadn't been before although one of my friends had been a few times and had liked it..she too was disappointed with the menu we had.The place was very quiet for a Friday lunchtime..the dining area is nicely set out and quaint. Welcome was fine and we were given our menus and I decided on soup which was a bit bland as was my friends mushroom starter. Note we had the set menu deal so price was reasonable as was the house wine.We decided on meat loaf and one of us had the smoked haddock pasta. No vegetables came with the meat loaf so we ordered some ...we just felt there was nothing special about it although tasted OK..I make a fabulous meat loaf myself with spices like cumin and coriander..this had no real extra zing or seasoning to make you go wow...but it was nice and moist.I had a taste of the smoked haddock pasta and it was actually very nice..if I had gone for this I may have given a higher mark on my review....not sure though since it felt like it just wasn't as good as other places with set menus.It was okay...just okay...would maybe go back if I was up that end of town again but I wouldn't make the effort to go there myself given we had to take a bus there.

We fell into this local gem as it was a short walk from the Marriott Hotel and we were tired from a long day of touring. It is downstairs from their parent restaurant Two Fat Ladies which is top rated but very expensive. Shandon Belles was more of a local hangout but offered a wonderful experience for a reasonable price. Restaurant was busy but that did not interfere with our top notch service (waitress was wonderful and so helpful). Ambiance made you feel like you were definitely in Scotland and we felt totally immersed in the culture. Food was delicious. We all has had the three course dinner for 16 pounds each. I had the Salmon which was awesome. Wine selection was very good and what they didn't have downstairs they would run upstairs to get for us. Highly recommend this place if you are residing on Argyle Street or nearby. Worth the walk and or drive.

I had a lovely meal - while the regular menu looked great, I was particularly intrigued by specials for both starter and mains. Excellent food, carefully cooked rare steak as requested. Service was charming and I couldn't believe how cheap it all was!

Been meaning to visit for a while, so finally made it along with the girls. The very reasonably priced menu and wine made it an attractive mid-week option.The food was ok, but nothing was overly impressive, and that was disappointing. My starter of feta and beetroot salad with orange yogurt was not well balanced. I had a goats cheese frittata for main, which really only tasted like egg and not much else. My friend's steaks clearly came with oven chips. The service was friendly. The desserts were ok, and the price was very reasonable.

Visited some friends in Glasgow and they took us here for a meal on a Sunday evening. Very good food, very reasonably priced, nice setting and atmosphere. Service could have been a little sharper but overall, a very enjoyable evening. Definitely recommended.

The food and surroundings are excellent. The restaurant shows fantastic value for money, we had a great night celebrating my son's special birthday, thank you so much to the staff at this friendly restaurant!

This is the second time this year I have made a point of turning a one night stay into two nights specifically so I can have dinner here. First time I've been here that hasn't been a Friday or Saturday, so it was quieter than the other times I've eaten here. Staff are wonderful, friendly without being intrusive, & seem genuinely delighted when they are complimented. Food excellent, & such good value for money. The chocolate cheesecake was delicious, & the Makar gin & tonic, which I was talked into by one of the staff, served with sliced strawberries & cracked black pepper was a revelation - I'm so glad I tried it. I look forward to eating here again next time I'm in Glasgow; I can't recommend this place highly enough.

Been here a number of times but our latest visit left us disappointed.Still has the cosy atmosphere & quaint decor which is embellished by the warm welcome from the pleasant, attentive staff.However, on a visit to the ladies' loo, there was a strong smell of dampness & areas of wall appeared to be affected by damp.The amazingly low prices of £12 for 2 courses, £15 for 3 courses have produced a rather limited choice on this meal deal menu. Sides, necessary for certain dishes, add to the cost at £2.50 each.

Been to this little cozy intimate restaurant on a few occasions. Celebrated our anniversary, my wife's birthday, took our friends from England there. On every occasion we have thoroughly enjoyed our visit. With exceptional value for money, a restaurant staff who have taken very good care of us each time, but above all delicious top quality food. Our favourite restaurant, looking forward to our next visit. Can hardly wait.

This restaurant sits beneath Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery. The food is wonderful and the Service attentive without being OTT.A bottle of water is brought tot he table as well as fresh bread. A very good range of interesting dishes and excellent value.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere and great staff. Menu is always interesting particularly the fish dishes - one of Glasgow's finest

Went here for a birthday dinner with 12 people and the place had just the right atmosphere. Small and cozy, but also a fancy quirky touch. Staff were very nice and we had two great courses for £12 (or £15 for three) and a bottle of wine for another £12. Given that the food was very fresh and very good, these prices are outstanding and I would definitely recommend for a nice evening out or a date.

Very nice decor and ambiance; tables well separated; terrific young, friendly and efficient staff.Well cooked and well presented food .Restaurant has chosen to offer 3 course for about £18, so portions are modest, and choice limited.Unusally, drink prices are very reasonable too.Noboby in Glasgow can match them in the £60 or so category for 2. Outstanding.

Four of us went to the Shandon Belle's for a Sunday late lunch.Everything about this restaurant was ideal. We sat downstairs and even the decor is lovely - smart yet homely, makes for a comfortable dining experience. The staff were lovely, chatty and willing to help if we asked about particular dishes or drinks.I had the hummus which tasted fantastic, then had the macaroni cheese. Lovely huge portion. All my friends had different dishes - we all agreed this lunch was excellent and we'd definitely be back.

The continuing adventures of introducing my good lady to some of my favourite Glasgow eateries although this was one I hadn't revisited for quite a while. I was surprised and a bit disconcerted to see how quiet it was on our arrival at 7pm on Friday but it filled up quickly as we dined.From the outset, the service was excellent - warm and inviting although with just the 2 on they did seem a bit rushed off their feet as this place got busier. There was a minor incident of a flying bit of ice onto our table as a cocktail was being prepared at the bar but no harm done! The décor of the place is perfect. It is designed in a way so that it feels like a cosy living room setting with china and various odds n ends on the shelves and helped with its compact, but not cramped, space.After some delicious sweetened bread as an appetiser, we both opted for the haggis croquettes to start which went down an absolute treat.I've come to accept that my girlfriend has a continuing love affair with something else - mac n cheese and so, when discovering they served their own version of the culinary delight as a main course, I knew her 'other love' would take centre stage for a little while. I opted for one of the specials: loin of pork with crushed potatoes in a mustard sauce. 2 clean plates said it all.I didn't have room for a dessert but she opted for the white chocolate pistachio cheesecake. Any hope I had of getting a taste of it quickly disappeared as it was devoured with great delight. A couple of coffees rounded off a fabulous meal.For the ambience, the service and the high quality of the food I really am surprised at just how good value this place is, the bill coming in at under £40. Should really be much higher on Tripadvisor.

My meal here in the Shandon belles was FANTASTIC. I dined a couple of months ago with my brother before we went to a concert. The food was delicious, the service was great and the atmosphere was lovely although quiet for lunch it was a great ambiance. The waitresses were lovely and knew all the ins and outs about the food they were serving. Overall my dining experience here was amazing.Thanks to the waitresses Beth and Maxine.

We had arranged a meal here with a group from the gym. From the word go it was organised to suit us and an extremely competitive deal was agreed .All our requests were met in full and the meal was excellent!The staff couldn't have been nicer and everyone enjoyed the evening.I have been to this restaurant several times before and have always enjoyed the experience but I am very impressed with the way the group booking was dealt with. I will certainly be recommending this restaurant to family and friends.

Food here was amazing for the price we paid. Pre theatre menu is perfect. Decor inside is lovely and very nice atmosphere in restaurant. Definitely will be returning here soon! Couldn't fault it at all.

I had dinner here with my father and it was absolutely briljant! We had the three course menu which was only 15 pounds and every single thing was super delicious! The bread was fresh, the fish melted on my tongue and the desert was just ...... jummThe service was really good as well, everybody was really really helpfull and friendly! Will definately com back here!

A regular dinner out where we like to try new places, and, although we had both been to Shandon Belles before we hadn't been there together. So, we both knew roughly what to expect and had booked a table, very necessary as it remains as popular as ever, quite rightly so.We had the full 3 courses, which were all beautiful, I had the chef's special sirloin steak and my friend went for the salmon. All the food was faultless, and there was quite a buzz about the place.That just leaves the service. Well what can I say? There were only two waiting staff on, and they were kept very busy, but still managed to retain their sense of humour, and both were delightful, including Nicola :o) (sorry, didn't catch the other's name)So, big well done to all, and thank you.

We decided to go along here after reading some other reviews and we were all delighted that we did. The staff were very friendly and professional. They remembered who ordered what without having to ask when they brought our food (and drinks). The food??? Amazing!!!! Really tasty and good sized portions. Each member of our party was singing its praises for days afterwards.Great value for money. We will be a regular here.Try it for yourself. I promise you won't be disappointed

This is one of my favourite restaurants and we often go for a meal here. However it has to be said that our last visit was not really that good. VERY limited menu with choices that were more akin to pub food. Sausage and mash and macaroni cheese. In fact, had we not ordered drinks before looking at the menu, we would probably have left. £12 is reasonable for two courses but when those two courses are a bowl of soup followed by a small bowl of macaroni cheese served with the tiniest slice of garlic bread I have ever seen its not really that good a deal. There are plenty of better offers around Glasgow, many of which offer a glass of wine included in the deal as well as a much more extensive and interesting menu. Won't be rushing back.

This is the little sister restaurant to Two Fat Ladies. My husband and I ate here on our first night in Glasgow. It is a very short walk from the Hilton Hotel. The ambience is intimate and casual, the service friendly and quick and the food excellent and a great value. It feels like a locals favorite spot.

Fantastic, tasty food at a reasonable price. Atmosphere is great with the mismatched, vintage crockery. Service is always good. Will be returning.

We ended up there by chance as The Two Fat Ladies was full and this restaurant is downstairs. The price is quite economic and the food is very good.

Ok here's the deal with this place, and I must stress that i am writing this of my own free will, it's £15 for a 3 course meal off the menu with upgrades ( specials board).As for my experience I can sumise it as exceptional. Amazing food, friendly staff and a classy atmosphere. Genuinely could not fault.

We went here for my daughter's graduation meal and we just couldn't fault anything. We got 3 courses for £15 including a glass of wine. The service was friendly and the waitress knew all about the food she was serving. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of going

I initially tried to book Two Fat Ladies which is upstairs, however as it was fully booked I decided to give Shandon Belles a try. I'm so glad I did. It's a lovely little restaurant, beautifully decorated and very cosy. The food was brilliant and amazing value. Three courses for £15 with a bottle of wine costing £12 and cocktails at £4.50. The only slight criticism I had was the staff weren't the most friendly. This is definitely an area that could be improved but overall highly recommended!

We went here for a family lunch and all enjoyed very much! It's in a small basement but is very bright with lovely quaint decor. The service was great and the food was brilliant. Great value with set courses. 2 course for £12 or 3 course for £15

Honestly, the title says it all. Not much to add. The decor is very interesting as well. Really, TripAdvisor, this 100 characters thing is SUCH a drag.
