DodgyKeeper Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Morning guys, following on from the success (?) of the Tapas thread I thought I'd get some opinions on the Restaurants in the West End of Glasgow that I could take Mrs DK to this afternoon prior to the Don's game. So, a decent and relatively inexpensive restaurant near Kelvin Bridge (or not too far away), any thoughts? Cheers. Link to comment

BTR Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 La Parmigiana Bier Halle There's some Greek place as well I think Link to comment
bucky_loon Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Philadelphia chippy/chipper/whatever for whenever Hubbards decide that they're not serving food anymore. Link to comment
Guest TenementFunster Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I was being serious, Hubbards chuck isn't bad but Bucky is right about the "wur no servin" thing. Link to comment

Guest TenementFunster Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 For a minute I thought you were joking ! What's the 'wur no servin' thing? They just stop serving. Only happened to me once though. The food is typical bar food but pretty good and decent prices. That and you can eat and drink and then watch the game in a one stop shop!! Link to comment
BobbyBiscuit Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 The Lansdown is a good restaurant and although I've not been there for a while I'd still recommend it. Basically come out the station on to Gt Western Rd, cross over to where the church is, go past the church and then turn left on to Lansdown Crescent and it's downstairs on your right. Link to comment
BTR Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 You don't want to eat in Hubbards DK. The guacamole on the nachos is really just last night's accumulation of cryptosporideum from the kitchen. Link to comment

By that time the c**kroaches will have had a nibble on everything. Link to comment

Basically come out the station on to Gt Western Rd, cross over to where the church is, go past the church and then turn left on to Lansdown Crescent and it's downstairs on your right. That's actually a good shout. It' been done up recently (well, in the last few years) but is still a fine place. It can be a bit of a pain in the @rse trying to find, but just go to end of the Lansdown Cresent and it'll probably have some fairy lights things going down the staircase. If you cannae be arsed looking then The Big Blue Restaurant isnae bad and is within stumbling distance of Hubbards. Link to comment
Sneckie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Gambrino's is an Italian just a wee bit further down GWR, was there a few years ago and from what I remember it was good. Bier Halle does 2-4-1 pizzas all day every day and they are amazing. Link to comment

Sneckie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Is Bier Halle what used to be Junkyard Dog? Yep. And before that Oblomovs. They do lots of different flavoured Schnapps for Link to comment

Sneckie Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I had seen that it wasn't Junkyard Dog anymore but couldn't remember what it had changed to. bit disappointed as I quite liked that place and I positively hate the Bier Halle that's in Gordon Street. It's nicer than the Gordon Street one. It's exactly the same inside as it was JYD. Link to comment
Guest TenementFunster Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yep. And before that Oblomovs. Which used to be situated on Byres Road. Oh the memories!! Link to comment

Sheep#1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Stravagin on Woodlands Road (5 mins walk from Hubbards) is supposed to be really good too. Link to comment

Sheep#1 Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 It's on Gibson Street. I don't really think it matters now, considering he was looking for somewhere to go before the game! Link to comment
BTR Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I don't really think it matters now, considering he was looking for somewhere to go before the game! I don't think it ever did, considering he was looking for something inexpensive. Place is a bloody fortune! Link to comment

Sneckie Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Is it? Never been, but heard they do a nice burger, so I didn't think it was anywhere that classy! An ostrich burger. Link to comment

"Comtemporary Scottish" is what you'd call it - never been to the one on Gibson St, but to Stravaigin 2 on Ruthven Lane. They do do a nice burger but you need to pay more than a tenner for it.

Ostrich sounds interesting! Link to comment
