Left Bank

Glasgow


Huge windows fronting the street reveal this outstanding eatery specialising in gastronomic delights and lazy afternoons. Lots of little spaces filled with couches and chunky tables make for intimacy. The wide-ranging menu is good for devising a shared meal of delightful creations using seasonal and local produce, with an eclectic variety of influences. Breakfasts and brunches are also highlights.
