I had spent a morning participating in UK conference calls; and finished these at 13.00. My next call was at 15.00 with colleagues based on the east coast of the USA.
I went for a walk and looked for lunch. "One Up" was not a place I had been before, so decided to try it.
It was really somewhere that functioned late at night as a dance club but also offered day time refreshment too.
The service was fairly good - salad and chips fine, did not really like the burger.

A "tapas and cava" bar. Well, we skipped the cava.
The tapas were fine - we just wanted a late afternoon snack, so ideal.
Meatballs, chicken slices, spicy fried potatoes, the Spanish version of bruschetta, tortilla, anchovies in vinaigrette. That was between 3 - not all for me.
My only gripe was that I asked for the tortilla cold, and it was hot.
Came to £36, after a compulsory service charge. Service was fine, once I'd re-adjusted to the Glasgow patois. My Bavarian friends never quite got there. I had to translate out of Glaswegian and into English. Then they were fine.
Favorite Dish: The anchovies - delicious.

I booked a table at the Black Sheep after being impressed by its good reviews on another website. I was not at all disappointed that I had chosen to eat there.
From the outside, the bistro does not look anything special. However, when you walk through the door, that all changes. The friendly welcome by the host was really nice, as was the offer to take our coats. Our table by the window was very cosy and the restaurant only has about 8 or so tables which makes the place feel really homely. The hosting skills are fantastic, attentive but not smotheringly so. The food is very fresh and tasty home cooking, absolutely first rate. The crowning glory of the Black Sheep is the desserts; they really are works of art and obviously something that the family who own the place take great pride in. It was a pleasure eating here and we would highly recommend it and would visit again next we return to Glasgow.
Favorite Dish: As I have mentioned, the desserts are really fantastic here. I had a Sticky Toffee Chocolate Pudding with drizzled chocolate and fresh strawberries- absolutely delicious. My sister had the Strawberry Shortbread Stacks which included fresh raspberries too. She said it was one of the best pudding she has ever had.

If uyou find yourself on Hyndland Road near the top of Clarence Drive, then you could do a lot worse than stop here for a coffee or light meal. This place makes homemade soup, excellent coffee, paninis, toasties, and stovies. The paninis have a bit of a gourmet touch but are still reasonably priced. This is an area that is worth visiting if you're looking for an area with plenty of one off shops, restaurants and bars, frequented by the residents of this upmarket area. Nearby Byres Road is equally interestin g, more geared to the student crowd.

Chicken Chasni was done to a turn and as in most indian restaurants the main ingredient of all sauces is onion so if you invent an allergy to onions the chefs skill is tested and you can savour freshlymade sauce and the chefs culinary skill.
This was no problem at all for chefs here,
Had a nice mix of music and decor but they were all background to the contented customers who had /were having a great treat.
Favorite Dish: freshly made chicken chasni but the takeaway veggie pakora @£2.50 for a huge bag was greatest deal. If you mention the hostel or virtualtourist you get 10% discount

This restaurant reminded me of this one other place on the cruise ship I ate at. It seemed to be nothing but appetizers with small portions. I left still hungry. Had I known that it was such a place I would have gotten much more. If you go, make sure you order a couple more plates. The food itself wasn't too bad, but I've had better.

78 St Vincent is a restaurant with a long history and tradition.
Unexperienced I went into the restaurant for a simple meal, but was served an excelent dinner.
The restaurant is housed in a building locally known as the Phoenix Building constructed in 1914 for the Phoenix Assurance Company.
The interiors has been restored and transformed into a classy restaurant.
The term "French with a Scottish flavour! " is well on its place.
