Over the twenty five years, Stravaigin always been a trusted local sanctuary where great food and a friendly pint go hand in hand. A relaxed, lively space serving experimental, worldly food, and traditional Scottish measures (a third more drink than you get elsewhere for your money). From sustainable artisanal wines, old fashioned cooking lagers, hipster beers, cracking cocktails, none dull as dishwater mocktails, we’ve got it covered. We are always on the hunt for the weird and wonderful.
After a brisk walk through Kelvin Park we arrived at Stravaigin, the Cellar. We were seated after my partner managed to smash a glass through careless control over her hand bag. We were presented with menus and I chose the Haggis Neaps and Tatties which came as three equal sized portions with sesame seeds. I followed this with steak, chips and pepper corn sauce. The waiter checked back on us a few times which was a nice touch. The desert was a small meringue with a sorbet and so apple shavings??? We had coffee, paid the bill and thanked the waiter. This is a nice place to eat in a busy local venue.
Had a fab meal today for Sunday lunch! Felt like royalty and the food was outstanding! The staff were so attentive especially Ilaeira and Morven, kitchen staff went the full hog and beef roast was just so tender, not sure how they achieve such excellence in taste and flavour but everything was cooked to perfection. Cocktails were also top notch especially the espresso martini! Could have had more if we had more time. Really enjoyed sitting by the cosy fireplace and was nice to be accompanied by a few waggy tails next to us. Really was ant least 5 stars all round, keep being authentic and original!
Excellent place. Even though I didn't know you had to make a reservation, they seated us at the bar area and served great food. Selection was limited because they had a "busy weekend" and was out of steak and some other assorted menu items. I had the haggis to start and pork belly as a main. Superb!
This restaurant was highly recommended, we came but didn't book a table, we were seated behind the bar and we understood because it was our mistake, but the waiters bypassed us and ignored us, they always left somewhere, we couldn't even call anyone . When it came time to eat, no one informed us that the food we ordered would be so spicy, the menu did not say so. The mussels were peppered with jalapeño, which was not mentioned on the menu, and the curry prawns were super spicy. When we reported this to the waiter, he said that we should have warned him and he would have brought us yogurt to reduce the burning sensation, this is very funny, we didn’t expect this, we expected everything, but not this response. The atmosphere was very good, but the evening was completely ruined.
Probably one of the best places in Glasgow for great local food. A very beautifully made interior of the restaurant puts you in a cozy atmosphere. The service is super friendly and helpful with recommendations. The food itself is just great - delicious, from local ingredients and just an explosion for your taste buds. A reservation is definitely necessary as it is a well-known and good-visited spot in Glasgow.
