Restaurant for 40th birthday meal in Glasgow

[Plump82]

Can anyone recommend anywhere? On my list so far is Anchor Line, Ralph & Finns, The Ivy and Ox and Finch. But they're all really similar.
Six by Nick and Beat 6 are out as I'm going there with other people.

I'm vegetarian so needs to be veggie friendly and preferably in the city centre.

Fanny Trollopes was lovely last time we visited.

Ubiquitous Chip (it’s Ashton Lane but near the tube). Can’t beat it!

Five March?

No 16? West end again but a hop and skip from the subway

Another vote for Ubiquitous Chip.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

The Gannet is fantastic

Another vote for Fanny Trollopes and they are so accommodating to dietary requirements and allergies, contact them ahead of time. Fabulous ☺️

Ox and Finch is amazing. I've had 2 terrible meals in The Anchor Line. Overpriced and overrated.

Yes The Gannet also fabulous!

Another for Ubiquitous Chip

Glasgow has restaurants? Didn't even think they had electricity there

Alchemilla

I wouldn't bother with The Ivy. It's just a naff chain.

I’ve got unalome booked for DH’s 50th

Unalome as a PP said.
Gloriosa, also in Finnieston but the west end (think it used to be Firebird)
La Laterna (city or GWR)
I quite liked Opium recently, but it’s not that comfortable and it is expensive.

I’m not sure what “vibe” you want, but I’ve had great birthday celebrations in Loon Fung (although it’s fast, bright and loud!)

From your examples, I don’t think you want casual but if you change or mind or are having any other nights out, Stereo and the 78 are my go-to bars for good vegan food and drinks with friends.

Have fun!

@MotherNaturesSon I thought I’d give you this: 🙄🥱 since you’re probably feeling inadequate that your hilarious post didn’t get any laughs or even acknowledgement.

Following as visiting soon!

Would recommend the Anchorline, I much prefer the Citizen that part of town.

I’d 100% go for Ox and Finch based on the food. I do find it quite casual in terms of atmosphere and dress though.

@Shmippy I absolutely loved Alchemilla- I totally forgot about it and haven’t been for ages!

Sorry ‘wouldn’t recommend’

The Boothy just off Byers road is wonderful. The waiters all wear kilts and it has a large private dining room.

We want somewhere a bit dressy but not stuffy where we can't be relaxed. ! Really don't want the West End due to where our group are coming from. But will have a look at the suggestions just incase they're too good to miss.
Stereo and 78 are fab but definitely not for this birthday plus I'm the only vegetarian so I wouldn't want to force my friends to eat veggie (not that they'd mind)

Brian Maule, Spanish butcher, Red onion

Red Onion or Ardnamurchan are both nice. They'd be good for big groups too I think.

The Spanish butcher is lovely but I’m not sure how veggie friendly they are - the fish is incredible
