The Brasserie at the Ubiquitous Chip in Glasgow City

My family was wrapping up a great trip to Scotland and this was to be our final evening meal at a strongly recommended restaurant. We were looking forward to a top notch experience. Unfortunately, the service was extremely slow, the food was cold, and my steak was cooked to shoe leather. I could write a lot about this but will only hit the low points. In summary, after placing our order, we waited for over an hour before our meal was starting to be served. I had to flag down a waitress and she seemed genuinely shocked that we did not have our food. When it was served, it was clear that it had been sitting around somewhere. My steak was improperly prepared, over cooked and rubbery, and again, cold. We had to flag down a waitress to tell her about our food being substandard as the original waitress disappeared. An other wait staff person came by and they offered to have another steak cooked up. As we had been at the restaurant for nearly two hours, we did not want to wait any more so she took it off the bill. She offered to send the manager over but to what purpose, I don't know. By that point, the damage had been done. Much of the wait staff were just hanging around seemingly more focused on talking to one another, They were apparently indifferent to our awful experience. They were pleasant enough when they actually came to our table but really didn't seem to care that we had a crummy meal. The kitchen was equally culpable. 35 pounds for a steak prepared and cooked by somebody who didn't have a clue is ridiculous. The bottom line is that there are much better restaurants. The Ubiquitous Chip is trading on it's name but is putting out amateurish meals. If you want to waste your money, this is the place to go. If you want a great meal, there are plenty others that don't serve chips and deliver a top notch experience. I will be sure to tell friends who will be travelling to Scotland to avoid this place.

The Ubiquitous Chip has been a Glasgow institution since the early 70s - it is now under new management who took it over from the original owners. Perhaps because this place has always been SO good we were maybe expecting too much? We were a large, family table celebrating a birthday. Our waitress was friendly and attentive and the place still looks great with all the glass and plants however the food was largely disappointing. Because there were a lot of us we sampled a whole range of dishes - the chicken and hake were both good but we were left disappointed by dry falafel, undressed salad, dry leek tart and tasteless, watery broth which the mussels were served in. They had run out of squid in the middle of the day which was disappointing as a few of the group had ordered it. Then bizarrely they ran out of vanilla ice cream (at this point I was nearly offering to go to the shops) so no affogatos and unaccompanied dessert. I love this place and want to support it but they really need to improve on these small things within their menu or their loyal customer base will move on to the countless other eateries nearby.

Excellent service, food, drink and ambience. We thoroughly recommend the venison haggis with neeps and tatties! Salt cod croquettes are fabulous, too.

Underwhelming. Small expensive portions even with big plate option. Had to order sides to make up the meal which added another £6 to meal taking meal up to £27. Won't be back.

Very disappointed by the quality of food here. Beetroot and onion tart was very dry and didn’t seem particularly fresh. Smoked salmon starter was a clod of fish accompanied by a bland avocado purée. Polenta and ratatouille was slightly better but again lacking in taste and no better than what we would cook at home. Partner’s fish had 8 large bones in it and the salad was limp and soggy as the oil had soaked through the leaves. We were celebrating a special birthday and had really been looking forward to this but decided not to stay for dessert as the quality was so poor. Very happy to pay for good food but this wasn’t at all worth the money. Hadn’t been for a few years and will not be returning.

Myself and my husband visited here on Saturday for the first time for food. We had previously been in for drinks and I just loved the look of the Brasserie as a beautiful indoor/ outdoor- esque dining experience. We had a few waitresses come to our table, not one particular one, and they were all friendly and pleasant. The wine I had was really nice - although I would say the drinks are on the expensive side. We ordered the oysters for starter and wow - lovely, fresh and juicy! Really nice. The ginger and soy dressing was also very tasty - and that's where the good food ended. A mistake of mine was not realizing that the brassie had a different menu from the restaurant, even though it kind of flows into one. For mains my husband had the minute steak and fries, which was like a dinner I would make my kids during the week and not a £18 meal. The portion was tiny and luke warm. I ordered the pork chop and whilst the presentation looked nice the pork chop was so tough and dry. I could barely cut it with the steak knife they provided. I mentioned this to my waitress and to my disappointment nothing was done about it. She just took it away. The table we got was also right beside a window which had the bar on the other side. So people standing at the bar waiting to be served could look right through and watch us eating. It was also situated where the waitresses collect drinks etc. so it lacked that nice intimate dining experience. We paid the bill and left. Overall pleasant surroundings but food lacks quality, finesse and is overpriced.

It looks cozy from the outside and it's even better inside. The staff are friendly and you don't feel like customer number 217. The cocktail I had was just perfect and the steak one of the best I've ever had (not exaggerating here), not to mention the venison haggis. Yes, it's a bit expensive but worth every penny. Highly recommended!

Got voucher for £100 pre Pandemic. Was unable to visit because of lockdown, illness and being careful with some family members not able to bring themselves to venture out. Wrote to ask if still okay to use voucher for family event to be told no. They feel long enough now that everyone should have been out and about. So as a tax payer( working pretty much throughout so no handouts for me) I have helped to pay them to furlough their staff, reduce their VAT liability, subsidize their business rates and probably low interest loans, they now have my and how many others cash from voucher sales not used! Poor show guys not even an offer of some kind just a straight no! I don't use the place, but the person who bought it does and is not well pleased that his hard earned cash had been taken.

Il locale è davvero bello: i differenti ambienti tra giardino, terrazza e bar ti fanno davvero innamorare del posto. Ottima scelta di birre e cocktail oltre ad un buona selezione di vini ma col cibo mi ha deluso. Abbiamo scelto la Brasserie che propone un menù più semplice, adatto a tutti e con alcuni piatti come l'Haggis anche in versione vegana. Beh, la versione "originale" non ha dato i frutti sperati. Poco equilibrato, e la salsa sovrastava il sapore. Carciofo non cotto bene, e melanzane decisamente insapore. Buono l'Haggis vegano. Sì potrebbe inserire anche un dolce vegano visto che la carta sembra voler accogliere tutti. Servizio informale, gli operatori di sala sono gentili, ma 4 camerieri al tavolo che chiedono sempre la stessa cosa mi ha lasciato più di un dubbio sull'organizzazione. Sì può fare di più con le armi a disposizione.

I have had meals over many years at the Chip and without doubt when others have faltered this has remained a constant. The night we went they were, like many places, obviously suffering from staff shortages. Service was slower than previous visits but no less professional. Apologies were offered for any delays and I appreciate being kept informed. Food was splendid. Definitely recommended.

Having eaten at ‘The Chip’ a few times pre lockdown, I was looking forward to having a nice meal with my wife and friends. However, we were disappointed with both the quantity and quality of the food. It would appear that since the end of the lockdown they have increased the prices and reduced the quantity at the same time. I am really sorry to say we will not be returning as there is much better value elsewhere. My advice to anyone going is to stay away from the ‘ Charcuterie Board ( fish ) as in my opinion, it grossly overpriced for what you receive.

Went with my better half. We both had as described on the menu the big plate. A potential feast of sea bass - with bottle of Sauvignon plonk. However portions were small. We both had half a wee half starved bass each with sauce vierge and green leaves ( in reality more like a fig leaf to hide the wee tiddlers anorexic embarassment). The wine was acceptably cold but was placed in a warm wine cooler that had clearly by its temprature just come out of a dishwasher. We asked the staff who were pleasant but clueless to add ice and water to the cooler. In summary. Service was middling to poor. Portions small and overpriced. Finally, to be clear this is not my first trip by any means to the ubiquitous chip but it is my first post lockdown. The impression I have is that the establishment is reducing its quality and maintaing its prices to compensate for lockdown. But this short termist approach of milkng it's reputation will run the well of customer good faith dry. In fact went for a post prandial meal in Little Italy on Byres Road. Reasonably priced, lovely fresh food served by wonderful attentive staff. What a difference.

I looked around before I chose this restaurant based on its reputation. I was not disappointed. I was celebrating a landmark birthday with a small group of friends and as well as the whole area being spotlessly clean with a brilliant atmosphere, the staff were very attentive and helped us with the birthday cake, candles etc. They made sure all of us were well looked after. This is such a beautiful place and I will consider it for future celebrations when "normality" has resumed.

Atmosphère féerique, une salle haute et basse installée sous une verrière, attention, dans les deux salles la carte est différente donc à vérifier avant votre réservation. Service courtois et appliqué. Présentation gastronomique et réalisation très goûteuse. Attention, réservation très fortement conseillé. Je recommande, beau moment.

It’s a small bar with a fantastic atmosphere. Friendly and the best service from the hardest working bartender Miguel. He’s fantastic and made our night. Thank you for a great evening!

Atmosphere very good,service was fairly slow but the waiting staff were attentive,food was good not outstanding but typically priced for the glasgow west end market so higher than you could get e3lsewhere for the same type of menu.

This was our Valentine's evening treat so I guess you have to read the review through those eyes. What a let down. The menu has changed and nothing really grabbed us..so.. we wanted to share the Octopus starter. They forgot that order. We opted for the most expensive steak (they forgot the chips) and the rabbit. All the other options were pretty average fair.. stuff I could cook at home like haggis, mussels and cod. Unimpressed! The steak was great but kinda expected for £30. The rabbit was tiny. Don't order this if you're hungry. It tasted ok.. but not very gamey. The negroamaro wine was lovely and fairly priced. The staff were very young and a bit rushed so you can't be too harsh. Plus they gave us the desserts for free (cheese cake was nice and the cheese board was straight out of the fridge so tasted of nothing much! This really annoys me) Overall this place is rammed most weekends but I really can't see why. The ingredients and dishes need a rethink and the staff need a shake.. overall.. very underwhelmed for the prices being charged.

We came for a 30th and there was a large group of us. From booking to the meal everything was spot on and they could not have been more helpful. Food was delicious and drinks choice and staff excellent! Thank you!!

Thirteen pounds for two scallops? Really? Both fish main courses sounded great but were, in fact, mediocre. Perfectly cooked fish to be sure but then so it should be. Not sure how to review the smears of sauce that came with the fish.....so I will not bother . Chips were too big, dry and served with a tiny saucer ('saucer' is being kind) of tomato ketchup which I'm willing to bet wasn't a big name brand. Disappointing first visit in 22 years to find this restaurant still over priced and seemingly trading on past glories...whatever they may be. If you want value for money AND tasty food (demanding of me, I realise) this ain't the place for you. Nice pudding but nothing spectacular. For the prices charged, I'd really expect something special. Nice waiting staff but still not enough to rid you of the feeling that you're being taken for a mug.

Went to finally try out with friends on my last day back in Scotland. Had the mussels with chorizo and they were amazing. Our waiter Ryan was very nice

Wow, words can not explain how absolutely amazing this meal has been! First of all the staff have been absolutely amazing and the head waiter and waitress (with beautiful curly hair) were so amazing, helpful, funny and genuinely all round great, really made our visit special! The food with out a doubt is amazing i feel this goes without saying, we had a mix of the special and menu items and they were just outstanding! We will be returning without any hesitation! Stunning x

Visité este lugar con una familia de 5 para celebrar el cumpleaños de mi hijo. El personal fue amable y nos dio buenas sugerencias. La calidad y el tamaño de la comida superó mis expectativas. Fue creativo y bien presentado. Las mesas estaban ocupadas pero no eran molestas. Disfrutamos de la cena en un ambiente agradable y sobrio.

Mi esposo y yo entramos sin reserva el viernes por la noche y nos sentamos de inmediato. Solo podíamos tener la mesa hasta las 7 PM (ahora eran las 5:30), así que no hubo ningún problema. Aunque el clima era lluvioso, el interior del restaurante era brillante y alegre. Mi esposo pidió el filete y tuve el salmón orgánico; ambos platos estaban deliciosamente preparados, con lados interesantes. El servicio fue nítido y eficiente, y casi tuvimos que limpiar debido a una alarma de incendio errante; Gracias a Dios que no era real o de lo contrario nos perderíamos una buena comida. También hay un muy buen menú de vinos, cervezas y licores disponible.

Here for a night on my way home, I dined with good friends. I expected a fine meal but was astounded by the quality I was offered. Yes, the food was sourced locally but the treatment was exemplary and gave an exotic flavour, even to the venison haggis!We started with a smoked haddock and salmon chowder. This was unctuous, just perfection.. our guests had Barra scallops which were the best I had tasted in decades. The chosen wines were perfect and the atmosphere calm and the staff welcoming. This is a well Kent eatery which has significantly improved over the decades.

Visited here for a lunch with family to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent catering for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. The service was attentive without being overpowering. All in all a thouroughly enjoyable experience.

We return here particularly for the great food, the Rib Eye is fabulous, and the lovely surroundings and atmosphere. The staff are great as are the cocktails and if you want a taste of Scotland, Try the Haggis, you wont be disappointed.

After hesitating at length between the restaurant and the brasserie we were very happy with our choice in every way: the decor was both original and cosy, the sky parlor made all the difference, food was modest but great, and our waitress was a very perky, heart-to-heart young lady which fitted perfectly with the atmosphere.

Many Michelin restaurants struggle to provide food as good as this. Good selection, yet not too many choices, delicious, beautifully presented. Drops of different coloured oils in the soup a delightful touch. Good service, well-maintained and interesting building.

....it’s just missing something for the price charged in the “cheaper” brasserie...

Ashton Lane leek op het eerste gezicht een beetje een toeristenval: veel drukte, rumoerig, veel opzichtige reclame. Ook in dit restaurant was het beneden vrij rumoerig. De setting is wel mooi, met de planten boven. Gelukkig zaten we boven in het zaaltje vooraan waar het een stuk rustiger was. We begonnen met een gin tonic die heel lekker was. Daarna geproefd van de shetland mossels, de haggis en de zalm. Allemaal heel lekker! Ik had ergens gelezen dat het de beste haggis van Glasgow is. Goeie keuze aan bieren (ook Schotse) en wijnen, en een vriendelijke bediening. We hebben hier gegeten op onze eerste avond in Schotland en dat was een goeie keuze. Dus, toch een heel goed plekje!

If we are in Glasgow, we must go to the Ubiquitous Chip for dinner. Our third time, coming from Australia, and we booked the Brasserie this time. My partner had smoked haddock and mussel chowder, soft boiled egg and serrano ham crisp. Next was grilled vegetable and goats cheese terrine with cherry tomatoes and basil pesto followed by oat milk panna cotta with summer berries and caramelised macadamia nuts.

A visit during a recent University open day. A short walk from the main University campus. We had. It booked but managed to get a seat.

This place is really wonderful, but. The food is pretty good but we wouldn’t say it’s excellent. We asked for water they offered still or sparkling. We unknowingly asked for still water. We soon noticed that every other table had a carafe (pitcher) of water. Dam, we we’re tourist tricked into buying water in a bottle. Our meals (salmon and chicken) were good but we noticed that we were served small portions (I received a pre-cut portion of a chicken breast) considering the price I expected more. The plates we well presented and looked good. In summary, this place is a tourist attraction and you’ll pay for the experience. Not recommended for tourists.

Ate here on Monday evening. The food was amazing. Would recommend the fish. Staff were friendly and efficient.

Had a lovely meal with the family for my birthday. We had a table for 10 and everything went very smoothly. The service was great as was the food. Not the cheapest option for a meal but worth the little bit extra. We have been there before and it seems to be consistent for quality and service.

Hice las reservas con mucha anticipación para ir a cenar a la brasserie para nuestro viaje a Escocia desde los Estados Unidos. Había estudiado en el extranjero en Glasgow años antes y de alguna manera nunca llegué a este restaurante tan delirante, así que pensé que tenía que probarlo. esta vez.

we ate in Bistro upstairs food great chicken fish dishes well prepared staff very friendly and helpful

We had a lovely Mother’s Day meal in the brasserie. Food was lovely & the atmosphere was great, lively & perfect for families.

Arrived early to have a pre dinner drink and all bars were very busy. We got a table next to the brasserie, taken to our table bang on time. Although it was busy, there was no pressure from the staff to hurry. The mains came quickly with hubby getting the best steak he can remember having in a restaurant. Our waiter recommended an excellent wine to accompany the food. The dessert was also his recommendation and was equally good. It was an open space upstairs and being a really cold night, I found it a bit on the chilly side inside too.

Estábamos visitando Glasgow y nos recomendaron The Ubiquitous Chip. ¡Qué gran recomendación! La bienvenida fue cálida y amable, el ambiente estupendo y el servicio excelente. Todo comenzó muy bien y una vez que llegó la comida continuaron los altos estándares. La comida era sabrosa y fresca, teníamos la sopa de queso y queso de cabra para comenzar seguido por el bistec y la lámpara, ambos campos eran excelentes. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita - en todo un gran restaurante y si vivimos localmente sin duda volveremos.

Mi hija reservó aquí para cuatro de nosotros en una visita reciente para verla en Glasgow. La única vez que pudo conseguir fue a las 9 pm, desafortunadamente no estuvieron listos para nosotros hasta las 9. 30 pm así que comer era alrededor de las 10 pm, lo cual se está haciendo un poco tarde. Me gustaría reservar con anticipación para obtener la mesa en un momento anterior si así lo prefiera, algo que haremos en el futuro. La comida era muy buena, las porciones parecen pequeñas pero muy abundantes, el personal es encantador, volveremos y reservaremos con mucha antelación para este popular restaurante.

Having read a number of reviews recommending this Glasgow 'institution' we were very pleased to get a last minute reservation for the brasserie. I was surprised when I saw the venue - it looked like an 'olde worlde' pub in need of updating and our table was wobbly. We ordered and then were shocked to see two dogs being led to the next table- soon realising there were two dogs already at other tables. We are dog and animal lovers but as one of our party has asthma and an allergy to pet hairs the close proximity of two dogs, aside from the hygiene aspect, was frustrating - we would have walked out if our order wasn't already in. The food when it arrived was definitely only average - whilst we appreciate locally sourced food the lamb/chicken and steak main meals were in our view over priced. The service was lacklustre and it was quite bizarre when a guy came to the table selling newspapers. Paying a premium price we would have expected far more in terms of food,service, and decor and the presence of dogs made for an even more disappointing experience.

The UC Brasserie is a sprawling eatery and bar labyrinth over multiple levels. From roomy atrium fine dining to cosier tables and nooks or bar stool snacking, you could struggle to find your companions unless they stand out! The Carte does not mean a map in this case unfortunately and I fear a trail of breadcrumbs would quickly be tidied away by the energetic and youthful crew! The venue is Busy but Roomy, They might want your table back for later reservations but they still want your post prandial pocket and they go the extra mile to encourage your lingering libations on premises. Reasonable prices but not cheap but the food always a cut above the more ubiquitous venues ;)

We had a lovely dinner at the brasserie. The cocktails were fantastic and unique. When we ordered dinner, the server was quick to ask about dietary needs, and since I'm lactose intolerant, she recommended some options to suit my needs. The food arrived promptly and was delicious. The venison haggis in particular was wonderful.

Late Lunch after a University concert.

Amazing food, amazing environment and great service. Not even one single detail to complain about!! I would definitely recommend it, no matter the occasion.

My wife and I were treated by my mother in law on the Sunday prior to Xmas given we are doing Xmas for the family. I’d say this was easily the best meal we have had here and we come regularly. We had the festive brasserie menu and had the confit octopus followed by the lamb rump. The octopus was succulent and delicious so much so we asked them where they got it (from Portugal), The lamb was also delicious. Great service from a young lady whom we think was the charge hand that night. Well done to all at the ‘Chip.

Good staff who know what they are doing. Great menu and food. No hassle and no rush. Has to be a favourite not just for Christmas. Remember to pop into one of the bars afterwards.

We were in Glasgow for the day and had been told the West End had a plethora of cafes, restaurants and delis where we could have lunch. By chance, an assistant offering samples of cheese outside a deli recommended the brasserie here. We had seen the restaurant a few minutes earlier and discounted lunch there as it was quite expensive, but the assistant told us to go upstairs to the brasserie. What a great recommendation this proved to be! We had the smoked ham broth to start followed by Shetland mussels and chips. The surroundings were quite unusual and we loved the whole ambience.

Amazing dinner at Aston Lane - the food was incredible! Best Mushroom soup EVER! Our Waitress, Tara was so fab and made us feel very welcome! Will 100% be returning!

First time at this restaurant meal was of excellent quality and the staff were brilliant making our special day a special night.Would certainly recommend this restaurant.

We had a perfect dinner at the Brasserie last week. Gorgeous little spot, unique and cozy. We shared the smoked fish plate and confit octopus and that was plenty for us for dinner. For dessert, we shared the cheese plate and the panne cotta. The menu was very reasonably priced for such a lovely spot, the service was on point and we could not have had a nicer experience.

Fuimos temprano (6 p. M.) Un sábado por la tarde, de camino al aeropuerto. El menú es "tradicional abundante", teníamos un haggis de venado, un bistec y dos pescados. Sin embargo, la factura de cuatro platos principales, dos vasos de vino de la casa y dos botellas de agua llegó a 96.

Así, este fue donde tuvimos nuestra primera comida en nuestro viaje por Escocia. Estábamos cansados. Estábamos desfasados. Y esto merece la pena. Primero, el jardín interior (nos sentamos justo en el estanque) era preciosa. El personal era increíble y muy amable. La comida era increíble! Me encantó especialmente el helado. Tipo de camino entre helado y helado, la agilidad de gelato, la riqueza de helado. Tan bueno. La comida era excelente en general. La lista de vinos era excelente. Solo un lugar maravilloso.

Lovely decor with a fresh and bright ambience. Mussels were delicious, lamb really tasty and my chocolate dessert was a delight. I also really appreciated the extensive gin menu.

Pedimos el plato especial de pescado 2 que estaba buenísimo, pero era muy pobre dado el coste (3 vieiras por 16 libras). Por suerte, nos dimos cuenta de que la recomendación de vino para acompañar las especialidades salió de alrededor de £100 por botella. ! ! ! (16 libras. 95 por 125 ml de vidrio). Ambos tuvimos el pato (también en el menú especial) y que fue preparado a través de un trocito de rosa no. Por último, nos dieron la mesa para 2 horas y teníamos prisa porque alguien estaba esperando la mesa. Para ser justos, no sé que ocurriría, pero para una comida que cuesta 180 libras 2 (con 2 botellas de vino! ), hubiera sido agradable no han sido presionados. Nuestro camarero era excelente, así que dejamos una nota positiva!

Teníamos grandes expectativas con este restaurante y ademas de la calidad y presentación de los platos, el servicio, ubicación, la decoración y distribución del local, son inmejorables. Las fotos hablan x si solas

Hi there. Your place was recommended to us by our Airbnb host and another local. Our first night we had fun in the Wee Pub so we made reservations for the Braserrie the second evening. I received a confirmation email yet the host was having trouble finding it when we arrived and had a bit of an attitude about it which was off putting.

We thoroughly enjoyed this restaurant for lunch, dinner and their jazz brunch. Service is excellent, the food is delicious and beautifully presented, and the price is right!

The delightful ambiance masquerades an over-rated food experience. The portion sizes are too small and the prices way too high.

I choose The Chip as it was a special occasion. We had never been here before but had heard great things about it. We were not disappointed. The service was friendly and very relaxed. We were made to feel most welcome.

Fui con algunos amigos a cenar en nuestra última noche que Glasgow después de un viaje a las Islas Occidentales.

Excellent food in the Brasserie before going on to a gig. Pork cheek, beetroot, hake, and salmon were all great. Staff were helpful and it is a fantastic space under the glass roof. However, service was slow.

We came in for a late dinner on a Monday night and were offered a table downstairs in the bistro (15 minute wait) or immediate seating in the brasserie. We were hungry so we took the brasserie. Roasted beets were excellent and the roast chicken was quite good, maybe ever so slightly on the dry side. Service was good too.

Service was excellent. The decor is lovely. The food was tasty but it is overpriced and the menu is not particularly varied. The weekend policy of at least 4 hours' notice of a change in numbers or cancellation will put me off from going back. It was only because we had gift vouchers to use that we went.

8 of us accommodated very comfortably on a busy Friday night. Excellent menu, catering for all tastes and preferences; fine wine list, wonderful desserts and some interesting malts on offer to finish up. Great place!

Recommended if you are looking for something easy for dinner. Walk-ins are accepted. The food is delicious and the service is great. Close to nearby accommodation and other bars.

El chip tiene un número de fases a lo largo de los años, y la brasserie de arriba es una buena opción. Tenía un sábado almuerzo/almuerzo aquí, y nos pareció que el entorno como peculiar como siempre, y el personal era servicial y amable. Tuve la sopa del momento, y el desayuno (actualización de probar! Y la remolacha) y risotto de arranque principal mi esposa eran excelentes. Tienen una buena selección de vinos por copas y cervezas. Los músicos de jazz empecé a jugar a las 1 pm (1 Calle sábado de cada mes), que era una buena ventaja para la última media hora. Un buen lugar para ir.

Lovely place, dedicated staff, amazing food... not so kind on the wallet though! This is the place to bring your special one in a special occasion, but make sure to book, as it can get quite busy. They have some fancy wines and fancy food (it comes in small portions), so I guess it's good also if you're feeling a bit experimental.

Yo ido hace algunas noches. Comido el pato patè, pequeño haggis, frutos secos especiados, un vaso de Negramaro y un postre de chocolate al final. El haggis es casero, uno de los mejores de la ciudad. El personal es atento y esperar discreto. Un lugar acogedor y romántico gracias a las chimeneas

As always the setting was lovely and the staff very friendly. Put in a corner table which was a bit of a squeeze but fine. Starters were very good particularly the celeriac soup. We were a party of four and each couple ordered a sharing platter, one seafood and the other various meats. We have had these several times in the past and unfortunately they were not as good as previously, both in quality and quantity. Wine selection was good if slightly pricy.

Beautiful surroundings in a quirky part of Glasgow. Excellent find, delightful ambience. Food very good although a bit expensive but a nice treat on special days

Simply wonderful food for reasonable prices, had the confit octopus and the wee venison haggis. Plenty of food, very decent sized portions. Amazing service especially by waiter Juliette, extremely knowledgeable and helpful. Fantastic experience, will definitely visit again!

Comida maravillosa aquí, me encantó mi vegetariano haggis. Poco decepcionado que no había puré! Se sugiere que las cosas no son recién hecho. El servicio era bastante agradable, pero lento cuando lleno.

Ce restaurant est situé dans un petite rue piétonne très agréable de Glasgow (proche de Byres Road), regroupant des restaurants et pubs dans une ambiance chaleureuse.

Buen ambiente con menú brasserie elegido (aunque no muchas opciones)

Encontré este lugar por casualidad y estoy muy contento de haberlo hecho. Realmente hermoso interior con un montón de plantas y luces de colores. El personal es amable y servicial. Comida realmente encantador. Especialmente contento con mi vegetariano haggis.

First ever visit here even though have had many an opportunity in the pastGood value and lovely service Great having our coats taken away instead of left on spare chair I had the venison haggis (starter size) and it was really goodWe shared the cheese selection and it was a lovely taste between 3 of us

Friends recommended we try The Ubiquitous Chip and we weren't disappointed. We ate in the Brasserie upstairs; the mezzanine is very pretty and has a jovial atmosphere. The staff are very attentive and really know their stuff - our Sommelier recommended the perfect wine to compliment our selected dishes. We had the venison haggis to start - it was delicious, perfectly seasoned and came with a lovely, buttery whiskey sauce - then followed it with a beautifully balanced pigeon dish featuring smoked potatoes and hazelnuts. Dessert was a yummy peanut butter parfait and a luxurious rice pudding. We had a great night at The Chip; it was the perfect way to start our Glasgow adventure and we'll definitely make a return visit next time we're here!

This restaurant is a highly acclaimed , well known establishment in Glasgow. Maybe it was just my family , but we were all slightly disappointed. The mussels were good but we felt the venison haggis was overpowering , with under seasoned neeps and tatties.Peanut parfait was pleasant .Service was friendly and prompt.

Seeking Sunday lunch in Glasgow before returning to London we ploughed countless menus online and just couldn't get inspired. We said 'oh well let's just go back to the Ubiquitous Chip' - against our normal rule of not repeating restaurants when there are so many new experiences to be had in other places. This time it was the Brasserie though, having done the restaurant several years before on another trip up north. The Brasserie shone as much as we remembered the restaurant shining! When ordering the haggis we felt the whiskey sauce to accompany it might be a hard sell ... But thank god we were sucked into it .....mmmmmmmmm just heaven. Would recommend this establishment (and the haggis) to every single person visiting Glasgow. Might plan my next trip back AND break the rule and go again!!! Superb......

We loved this place.The waiter we had was a star, and introduced me to Rock Rose gin - he was knowledgeable on all of their wide selectionMy venison haggis with neeps and tatties was a greats starter, and the pork belly was as good as I've had anywhere. I finished with the rice pudding - very, very different from the one I make - not as sweet, but beautifully done.We'll return there on our next visit to Glasgow

Fantastic food.Great selection.Great service.Let's not kid it is expensive.All said we had a great night and will be back.

A midi : prix raisonnable dans un cadre de verdure originale. Les plats sont bons et copieux. Les tables un peu à l'écart sont parfois un peu oubliées par le service.

My husband and I ordered several small plates. Everything was delicious and presented beautifully. I especially loved the venison haggis and the pork belly. The soup was also delicious. The wait staff was very hospitable and answered any questions we had with grace. If you've never had haggis, I would definitely suggest trying it here. Enjoy!

This place was fantastic and the food was really good value for money considering the quality. The staff were super friendly and the decor was so cosy.. fairy lights galore! Would definitely come back!

We made reservations, but showed up early. The place was packed, but they were able to get us a table upstairs amongst the greenery and twinkling lights. Very helpful and knowledgeable staffThe mussels were the best we've ever had

This place was the best. I arrived well before my booking time and they were very accommodating. Got a quick whiskey tasting lesson with my lowland flight. Ordered the vegetarian haggis with the whiskey sauce and it was delicious. I also had the Highland Crowdie cheesecake and it was also great. The staff was very friendly and the place is pretty. I recommend it!

Offering both small (similar to tapas style) and larger portions is a great idea and I think more places should do it! Plus, you can save room for dessert if you have a smaller portion of dinner! I had the very Scottish venison haggis with whiskey sauce (yum!) and a friend had a very tender and delicious pork belly. The deconstructed cheesecake I had for dessert was also equally fantastic. Plus, the atmosphere is great, like one big greenhouse, and the staff is very friendly.

Friday night in the ''Chip'' and it is heaving, only booked the night before but they squeezed us in at 8:45pm. It was really busy but the service was good considering. We had brought our drinks in from the bar, as we waited there until our 8:45 time slot, but that isn't a big problem as the bar is buzzing and has such a great atmosphere. Anyway the girls shared a starter of Pastillia? The guys had two Wee mussels to start. The mussels were fantastic, it was a starter portion but lots of them and a great sauce with 2 big chunks of crusty bread. I would say they were worth the money. I had a Wee meat filled Cannelloni on a bed of green beans and peas, it was so, so. My friend had the Big Haggis Tatties and Neeps with the whisky sauce, he said it was superb, but couldn't finish it as there was too much. My wife had the Salmon on a bed of shrimps which she thought was a bit overdone. If you want veg you have to order that on top of course. It was £98 for four with a bottle of wine, a glass of white wine and pint of lager. It was OK but not enough choice for me, I only fancied a couple of things. We retired to the bar and didn't leave till closing time at 1am so it was a good night taking everything in to consideration.

I love the upstairs because no matter the weather it's a magical place to be. We had a short window to grab a bite to eat and thankfully we were served within this window in a very relaxed way but also meant there was no anxiety on our part to get fed and the bill and out. Food is always good. The staff are really sweet. Only point of improvement is that I asked for a glass of champagne but was told it's not served by the glass they could offer cava which I reluctantly agreed to only to find on their menu they offer two appertifs and one being a glass of champagne. To add to that they brought Prosecco and had to be told few times the order was for Cava... Anyway this is small thing but equally shouldn't really happen.

I hadnt been here for over twenty years so arrived with a visiting friend from London. nice service , attentive, pleasant. However the crunch is the food. The menu was rather limited. Three choices on each course - though this was the pre theatre menu. A complimentary starter of essentially some cold garden peas with a foam on top. Didnt really taste of anything.The hake was essentially a square of fish with some green vegetables. again not really seasoned and again just really bland. Main course was salted beetroot with feta and spring onions. Even the feta for all its blandness judt didnt taste of anything nor particularly go well and the beetroot were so small they were almost hidden behind a spring onion. Dessert was a white chocolate with creme something. Again two lumps of cold creamy stuff - one frozen and one not frozen - beautifully presented but I have really had better tasting yogurts. Our vegan guest having enjoyed his vegan meal wasnt able to have a coffee as there was no milk alternative. Bit short sighted when they offered an entire vegan menu. I am sorry to say massively unimpressive. I cant honestly say I have had a more bland or tasteless meal. £200 for six people and this was the cheaper menu. I realise its a bit of a Glasgow institution but if you want a reasonable amount to eat of falour some food I would try elsewhere ,

Lovely atmosphere if you can get a table in mezzanine level amongst the plants but book early. Food is good and service too even during busy graduation schedule. Lots of places nearby for aperitifs and walk in nearby botanical gardens afterwards maybe - it's light until near 11pm just now!

I tried their Haggis Neeps and Tatties with the whisky sauce and it was excellent. The portion was too big for me, so, unfortunately, I didn't taste one of the desserts. I think it is a really nice restaurant in what it seems like an old greenhouse. The service was good. I would definitely recommend it.

Visited for the first time for a pre concert meal. Meal was nice - the starters (lamb and cannelloni) probably better than the venison and sea bass mains. The veg side of broccoli and cauliflower was very dry though the chips were great.The waiting staff were very friendly but overall service was slow. On balance we enjoyed our meal but wouldn't rush back.

Restaurant was recommended to us before we set off for a holiday in Glasgow but we decided to go to the brasserie upstairs instead. The ambience was lively and the food was excellent, Scottish flavours beautifully presented and plenty of it, the wee portion of mussels was huge and the chips were perfect. Service was a tad slow, they were very busy, but didn't affect our enjoyment of the meal. Ubiquitous Chip is just round the corner from Hillhead subway station so easy to get to from the city centre.This is a must do experience for visitors to Glasgow. If I lived here I'd be a regular.
