The Left Bank in Glasgow City

food was absolutely sensational. One of the best restaurants in Glasgow. You HAVE to order the Korean cauliflower

Lovely spot for lunch. Enjoyed the ciabattas and soup, plus coffee and puddings.

lovely brunch and fab friendly staff ! The best coffee i have had in a long time . 5 well deserved stars 🤩

Great place to spend a few hours for either delicious food or drinks. The staff are extremely welcoming and attentive to us and our wee dog, when we bring him.

Undercooked eggs that the chef tried to say were cooked even though there was quite a bit of clear runny egg. I never send food back and had to send back twice! Ended up having to change to another meal. Servers were nice and a cute place. Burger I got instead was okay. *update with reply from business, I think it’s very worrying that they are still trying to claim the eggs were cooked. I love poached eggs and always have them runny- this wasn’t a bit of runny white it was a large amount of CLEAR runny egg. This happened twice. I think it’s dangerous and clearly the staff can’t tell if something is cooked or not so have dropped my review to 1 star.

Probably the best food we've had in Glasgow. Both, breakfast and dinner was amazingly tasty. We've had ordered from the vegan menu (which has a good variety of options) and we're very happy with our choices. Just as FYI: if you are fond of spicy food, I recommend the Nasi Goreng, it is delicious and has loads of Chili in it 🌶️😍 Thanks for toe great time and the good food, we'd definitely come again!

It's good but it stings Adorable with dogs

Great place. Friendly staff. Dog friendly and vegan menu.

Totally different type of menu ,Asian mainly , not really my choice of food . Chose restaurant on style of menu advertised. So disappointed in that . Sticky toffee pudding had popcorn in sponge, melted and was hard ,was being sold with popcorn ice cream that was happily not available . If the advertised menu been available would have been a lovely birthday meal . Bit sad

Very friendly warm welcome for the three diners and two dogs. (One of which is very nervous and can be a barker) They catered for dairy and gluten free. We would highly recommend this independent restaurant.

If only there were 6 stars.. The service, the food... This place is it! Look no further. Our waiter/bartender was absolutely the best. And the food was terrific. We had the Indonesian dish veggie version and fried chicken starter. Yum yum...!

Food was beautifully presented and SO TASTY!!! . Big Table of 11 on a Saturday evening and the service was incredible, the team were so attentive interacting with everyone and were great with the child at our table and also the dog :) everyone at our table commented on how good the whole experience was. Thanks left bank crew 👌

One of the best food, service and drinks in Glasgow! Nasi goreng, crispy squid, samjang chicken were amazing and honestly as good Asif you were in Indonesia! The drinks were fantastic like lobey dosser!!!! Not to mention the bloody Mary layered drink! Kisses

Fantastic food and nice service

Lovely brunch times. I went with my girlfriend, who is coeliac, and was very pleased to be presented with a separate gluten free menu, with lots to choose from as well. Food was delicious, service was great - so friendly. Fully recommended!

Popped by as was dropping items off in the west end. Really happy to have multiple menu options - regular menu, plus gluten free and vegan options. Such a positive change to standard menu options. Super friendly and welcoming staff, really makes a difference to your the experience. It's not easy being gluten free and eating out, but here felt super safe (I'm coeliac). Food was super tasty, fresh and quick, portion size also very good. 10/10 experience all round. Shame to not have this option closer to my home. Would recommend if you want relaxed, friendly and excellent service and food.

One of my go to places when in the west end. Good cocktails, wine and food with fairly reasonable prices and a nice relaxed atmosphere. The tables are also really spaced out and it feels airy. I like it a lot here.

An even better nasi goreng than in Indonesia or Malaysia, and a super fine hummus. Nice ambiance and kind personnel. What more can we ask for ?

Didn’t I say it? Best brunch ever

Food was nice, good vegetarian options. Excellent baby changing facilities and very spacious inside

A very pleasant dinner in Glasgow in this place, where we were welcomed in a splendid way with great kindness and friendliness. The menu is very varied and very attentive to every dietary requirement (gluten free, allergies, vegetarian and vegan). Excellent food!!!! Highly recommended

Lovely food. Can tell everything is of good quality & well made. The most perfect runny eggs too. Coffee was good! Service was great. Very kid friendly. Prices are on the higher end but you are in the West End so is to be expected! Really loved the smoked salmon eggs, would recommend these! They also accommodate for GF & VG which I think is great, the server asks you as you walk in if you require another menu. It’s nice to see places proactively asking.

The breakfast and service in this cafe is UNREAL so good we went two mornings in a row. We had the Mexican eggs and the Indian breakfast honestly yummy. The coffee was great too x

We had a wonderful meal at The Left Bank. The menu has options for everyone and most importantly, our service was impeccable. The waiter knew we were visiting and went out of his way to recommend places to see and have dinner. I would recommend this place!

Met up with family for a Sunday brunch last week. Looks unassuming from the outside but once in it’s like an Escher painting with floors up and down and round the stairs - wonderfully eccentric but lovely. Great menu with a just about wide enough range of choices of what turned out to be beautiful food (and drinks) Service was responsive (even bearing in mind the place was rammed at 11-12 ish on a Sunday) and very friendly. Loved it.

This place never lets you down. Welcoming staff, wide selection of menus - and including vegetarian and separate vegan menus - and they accept dogs! This time I had the vegetarian Indian Poke Bowl. So delicious, freshest of ingredients and super filling. Happy ⭐️Happy ⭐️ Happy⭐️

Ate delicious hummus with salad. The service is super nice and we felt comfortable in the modern, cozy atmosphere.

Lovely relaxed atmosphere with friendly staff and yummy food. Plenty for vegetarian too

Lovely wee afternoon in here today, was very busy we had to wait 15mins for a table, girl thanked us for coming back, I loved that nice touch 😀 nice vibe, Lovely staff, decor was quirky, good background music. The food was lovely, I marked it down as 4 as I felt there could have been more of the Mexican eggs to go with the tortilla which was average size, coffee was lovely and my friend enjoyed his dessert

Popped in by chance last Saturday evening for drinks. My wife and I were shown to a lovely table, provided with drinks menus and given superb table service. Dianne settled on Spiced Rum n Coke, I had soft drinks. Cocktail list was interesting, Dianne had the vanilla White Russian, she loved it. Waitresses kept the table clean and engaged in friendly chat. We will defo be back. Bravo 👏.

Gluten free beer on tap!!! Food was great and staff were very friendly.

Very cool place with an awesome vibe. The vegan haggis is my go to and recommend it to anyone!

The best food for a very reasonable price I’ve had after spending a week in the UK with my family. Everything family and I had was simply incredible!

Absolutely delicious food, nice atmosphere and very friendly service. All good.

This is a great neighborhood cafe. Brunch or supper is Saturday breakfast. Lovely staff and great atmosphere

Lovely food and kind, welcoming staff. Dog friendly.

Wonderful food like last time, friendly and lovely staff. Overall, it is a very comfortable place to enjoy some delicious food (2023). (2024 review) As amazing as ever, atmosphere, food, and staff are all fantastic. I am looking forward to coming back soon

Went for breakfast today and we weren’t disappointed! The staff were welcoming and genuinely friendly. There was a good vibe in the restaurant/cafe. Great coffee too! A wee bit pricey however I would say that based on what we ate it was worth it and we can’t wait to come back again!

I’m still thinking about this place!! Great breakfast and lunch options here. The gochujang chicken sandwich was incredible (although as someone who loves sauce, I wish it had a little more sauce/gochujang on it). The crispy edges were the best part! But that’s not all, you get a side of their delectable rosemary fries and a side salad. I normally don’t go crazy for side salads, but I don’t know what they put in there to make me polish off every last bit. Plus, portion sizes were very generous. Seems to be a great place to grab drinks as well, as I watched cocktails being distributed to tables. Dog friendly!!

great atmosphere, professional and friendly staff, my friends (their first time eating there) and I had the Indian poke bowls as well as a variety of side dishes, delicious . Thank you to the staff and chef for a perfect lunch

Delicious! Had the vegan Lebanese breakfast and the hummus it was super tasty! I highly recommend!

West end classic. Brilliant for lunch with many twists on classics.

a huge fan of the left bank ! I have come in here several time for a drink and to study and the staff are all so kind and friendly. The food (especially the sweet potato fries) is amazing and the hot chocolates never disappoint. I would recommend the left bank to anyone. For a lovely meal or a relaxing study space ! Callum and Jasmine are especially attentive and friendly

Outstanding..loads of options and the best damn burger I've ever had.

Three of us went for lunch. Food was disgusting. Dried out and tasteless. I won’t be back

Interesting and varied menu, good vegetarian and vegan options.

Not been in here in years and was pleased we dropped in. Lebanese breakfast didn't disappoint. Had a couple of mocktails too, which were delish. Lovely staff and good service. Place was bustling but we were seated quickly and the soul tunes were perfect for a chill Saturday afternoon.

Suuuuper yummy food and drink, my friend had the veggie breakfast and really enjoyed it and i had the lebanese breakfast and thought it was wonderful. We both got the cucumber and elderflower spritzer - highly recommend (although make sure to stir it properly when it arrives as the flavoured syrup is a layer at the bottom for the aesthetic haha - i made the mistake of not realising this at first but my friend pointed it out and it was all good). Very average prices for the west end as well - for sure not the cheapest but that's sort of what you expect for the area, so not a huge problem for me personally. Lovely lovely service and atmosphere as well. I only docked one star as the food did take quite a while to arrive (about half an hour) which was fine for my friend and i as we were having a great chat, but if you are in a rush or are very very hungry then it's something to keep in mind. That being said, we went on a Saturday lunchtime which i reckon is their busiest time, so this may differ at other points during the week! All round, had a great time and will definitely go again.

Fantastic food and fantastic service. 10/10

The food was incredibly good with generous portions. And the friendly staff treated my nasty little sausage dog like royalty today. So impressed.

The gochujang crispy chicken burger was extremely tasty and probably the best chicken burger I have ever eaten. The fries that came with it were also perfect. If I'm in Glasgow again I'll definitely come back!

Bonne ambiance, accueil chaleureux ! Un bon repas typique.

Must visit! incredible service. Enjoyed the most delicious Xmas dinner here. The staff were excellent and supporting big group bookings and the process of organising with them was super smooth. The food was divine! Roast was perfection, bean cassoulet was wow. Credits to the chef and to the wonderful staff. A special thanks especially to Callum who made the meal out extra special. I’ll be back and recommending the left bank to anyone looking for delicious food with excellent service in the west end

A huge thanks you to the brilliant staff at The Left Bank. We had a very last minute let down with another restaurant nearby for a 30th Birthday. With 15 mins notice the Left Bank catered beautifully for us. We had a private dinning area, wonderful food and immaculate service. Couldn’t thank them enough. The Vegan menu is brill! Thanks again.

Nice food and nice staff but service was abit slow and inside could be abit warmer/cosier!

Casual and comfortable. Food great, have a vegan menu 😋 😀. Service and staff friendly and helpful.

We went for the dinner menu few nights back and couldn’t believe we hadn’t visited prior. Super tasty menu, large portion sizes on the mains, great house cocktails. Good atmosphere and friendly staff.

The full breakfast was quite disappointing and the tacos main tasted nice but would have expected more than 50gr of chicken in a £15 main. Other reviews that include pictures show a very different dish so not sure if they just couldn’t be bothered today. Staff and service was great though.

We ate here last night to get away from the trick or treaters and I cannot believe we haven't been before! Everything was exceptional, from the food, the vegan options, the fact they were SO dog friendly they even brought a blanket over. The drinks/cocktails were also amazing. The decor and lighting is also fabulous 👌 I asked for recommendations on food and drinks and without hesitation was given awesome advice. I even ended up asking Chloe (who took our booking over the phone) if she could pick the table for us as I hadn't been before, and every request was dealt with perfectly. They didn't miss a beat. The cauliflower small plate and the sesame seed tofu, in particular, were UNREAL. But we got several dishes to share, and everything was delicious *chefs kiss* I will 100% be returning to this venue, and think it's definitely one of my top ten spots in Glasgow.

Came in after another place let us down. Never been before and what a pleasant surprise! Also noting negative comments about dogs previous - our dog was pampered silly! Straight after we sat down owner brought a blanket to lie on, water in a bowl and a wee treat. Outstanding!!

My colleague recommended this brunch cafe to me, so I decided to drop in for a quick meal. The staff were exceptionally friendly. I ordered a bank breakfast and a pot of breakfast tea. Overall, the food was good, but the mushrooms and bean were too cold. Additionally, I wasn't provided with any cutlery at the beginning of my meal, so I had to request a fork and knife from the staff later on. Despite these minor inconveniences, I might still recommend the place overall.

Everything was great 👍 thank you especially for the amazing food and great atmosphere! 😁 Thr staff did a great job and we had an amazing time

This is such a lovely wee cafe and the service was amazing… will definitely be back!

best bloody mary in the world. good great too

We thought the food was great and were really happy with the gluten free and vegan options. The halloumi tacos were delicious and the drinks menu is good. Great value!

Absolutely, one of the best restaurants in Glasgow! I had the Mexican eggs with Chorizo which was filled with flavor and fresh spices.

As always fabulous dining experience. Fantastic flavours and dishes and excellent service and value.

Quite busy so service was a little slow, but food was excellent when it arrived :)

Superb vegan food, really good service. I've only given four stars for atmosphere as we were in at a particularly quiet time of day.

Great wee place...long may it continue

We got poached eggs with French toast, bacon and syrup and wow it was one of the best breakies ever! Visiting from London and the food at the Left Bank was tastier than most places back home. Awesome service and food! Will definitely be back for sure!

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, decent food. Had good fish and chips (chips though a tad mushy) and tofu tacos which were spicy and tasty (off gluten free menu) though the corn taco base was a little chewy. Skip the ginger beer/dreadful Old Jamaica brand. Small wine list. Tasty Panna Cotta for dessert.

Really delicious food with an interesting mix of cuisines to make some unique dishes.

good vegan food! a bit on the pricey side but worth it.

Went in for a coffee and after browsing the menu couldn’t resist The Lebanese breakfast. Probably the best breakfast in the west end, and a great flat white as well! Good vibes, chilled music, and lovely staff. Will be back!

Ten out of ten! If you are in doubt about where to eat in the west end, have your meeting with a colleague, or have a pint just come here. The food is delicious and prepared with great attention to detail. There's ample choice for all tastes. The venue itself is very atmospheric and the location convenient. Above all, though, the staff should really be commended for the courtesy and flexibility. Thoroughly recommended!

Le restaurant affiche un prix de burger à 15£ et au moment de la commande elles te proposent "avec du fromage et bacon ?" naturellement tu réponds par oui car le fromage est un élément essentiel d'un burger et au moment du payement tu te rend compte que le burger est passé à 20£ ce qui la rend une vente trompeuse.

Service is great, but the food is not. 17pounds for fish and chips is outrageous. The menu does not even explicity states it is serving fish and chips.. instead it is making it look like your getting served a luxurious fish meal. No vegetables are served with the meal (unless you pay extra) and the chips are too salty. The soup as a a starter was also too oily. However the pokebowl was tasty, but not too special either. Not worth your money.

Lovely food and staff. A little slow in bringing our order.

Managed to get last table for two on Saturday night. Quiet corner, unrushed service with lovely fresh food and nice wine. Definitely recommend.

It was a perfect spot to catch some of the UCI world championships, as cyclists went zooming past the hill. Good spot for brunch and rest of the menu also looked very appealing and different, not your usual fare. Would love to go back and try other stuff on the menu!!! Staff are very friendly and attentive.

Had brunch here and really enjoyed it. Staff were really friendly and professional.

The Left Bank is definitely one of the places to visit for food. We were served by a lovely and attentive staff member who informed us of the specials and said just to ask if we needed anything else. I asked if non-alcoholic cocktails were available. The staff member asked what flavours I liked and said that they would create me a cocktail. The drink was phenomenal. We both ordered the chicken burger, which came in a brioche bun, with fresh salad and fries seasoned with rosemary on the side. My compliments to the chef as the dish was delish! It was truly divine. I wish I could give more than five stars because it really is heaven. To the staff, thank you for making this place as wonderful as it is. We will be back!

The Left Bank is one of my favourite places to go in Glasgow! The staff are really nice and the food tastes amazing. It's a little pricey for the student-filled area, but the good quality is worth it. I especially love their coffee and the eggs with mushrooms and truffle oil. The place is spotless and has such a cozy vibe that makes you want to stay for hours. It's always a great experience when I go there. It's a must try! The only note for the staff is that the menu could use a refresh.

This is an absolutely spot-on place for atmosphere, service & food. It's not cheap but definitely NOT overpriced for the quality, taste and service of food. I went with the chef's soup of the day (coconut & tumeric) accompanied with toasted sourdough bread and astoundingly salubrious and flavoursome olives - fresh water is served at every table. Staff are lovely and genuinely helpful. Will return! 💖

Service impeccable et personnelle très chaleureux. Les plats étaient tous excellents. Nous étions 5 et chacun a choisi entrées et plats différents que nous avons partagé. Sincèrement c’était juste parfait !

Famille de 5 Français, donc évidemment toujours critiques concernant la cuisine non française : et bien à l'unanimité nous avons adoré tous nos plats: très bon produits, parfaitement cuisinés et assaisonnés , délicieux ! Et service super par dessus. Merci pour ce bon dîner !

A wonderful restaurant with excellent staff and fantastic food. The Indian poke bowl was absolutely stunning and the Lebanese breakfast was delicious. I would highly recommend this place!

Great place for informal but nice evening out. Lovely staff.

See what this horrible boss has done to her staff in 13th Note Cafe. Wouldnt pay them a decent wage and sacked them all. Boycott.

This is an amazing place, can't recommend enough, food ,staff and restaurant are top's, we were there on Saturday 8th July with our small dog, couldn't be welcomed more by the lovely staff, we will be back, hidden gem 👍

Loved this place. Travelling with dogs can be difficult especially when eating out. No problem at all in this restaurant and the food was delicious

After a long sleepless night of travelling we arrived to Glasgow. And the left bank brought us all the life we needed for the day. Their Scottish breakfast and black pudding with egg were simply amazing. Totally recommended!

. excellent relaxed restaurant - bar with friendly, helpful staff and great food Good value for money too

Food is SO taisty. The staff are lovely. Prices are reasonable.

Fabulously friendly and flexible staff, very willing to cater for my preferences. The food was delicious, the atmosphere fab, the music good and the staff outstandingly delightful. Best find on this holiday. Vegan and Veggie options available. I enjoyed the large open windows and interior design just as much btw.

Fantastic experience! Delectable food and super reasonable prices. Our waiter was kind, patient, and lovely to chat with. The food came out quickly and we loved everything. I would absolutely recommend the eggs with smoked salmon and one of the refreshing seltzers. If I'm ever in Glasgow again, I'll make sure to stop by this place for some delicious food and great people.

I recommend this place without reservation. The staff are fantastic - they accommodated our choir of 20 after a concert with a bespoke menu - they could not have been more helpful! It was an ideal place for a group to eat - lots of choice and all diets catered for. Some others came for just a drink and were equally well-catered for. The food was delicious - interesting and full of flavour. The service throughout the evening was efficient, attentive and friendly. We had an excellent evening!

Came for lunch with my mam and had a lovely, well serviced meal which she described as the best vegan food in glasgow! Lovely staff, very welcoming and delicious food. Will be back!

Food was terrible and so overpriced. Service was nice but not worth much. Won’t be going again
