158 Ingram St, Glasgow G1 1EJ

Each month I try and visit at least one new restaurant in Glasgow, in an attempt to make the most of the fact I live in the city centre.  When you find somewhere amazing it’s so easy to fall into a delicious foody rut, so as of January 2015 we committed, and have visited somewhere new every month. We finally, FINALLY went to Hutchesons on Ingram Street.

Supper Club, Laneways, Glasgow

Laneways – WWW.FACEBOOK.COM/LANEWAYSCOLLECTIVE
5-7 Gordon St , Gordon Lane, G1

In case you haven’t wandered down Gordon Street in a while, you should definitely go take a peek at Gordon Lane and see what’s popped up.  Next to Bier Halle you’ll spot the yellow sign for Laneways – a 9 month pop-up bar/kitchen which started in April this year. Before I get into the Supper Club event, here’s a quick description of Laneways from their Facebook:

“Laneways is a 9 month project bringing together the best street eats, back street cocktails & street art collectives the Glasgow pop scene has to offer.”

Tantrum Doughnuts, Glasgow

Tantrum Doughnuts – www.tantrumdoughnuts.com
35 Old Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G3 8RD

So a few weeks ago when it was like a real life summer in Glasgow, Rick and I went for a walk (as we always do) to catch some rays.  And now said rays have (inevitably) disappeared I thought I’d reminisce about the time we stopped into Tantrum Doughnuts at random and treated ourselves to our first Tantrum experience.

Best Burger Ever: El Perro Negro, Glasgow

Yes, I said it.  The elusive pop up kitchen that is El Perro Negro makes me the best burger I have ever eaten a few times a year at his pop-ups in Glasgow. I don’t know a whole lot about the backstory of El Perro Negro other than what I’ve read online, but you can find a bit more info about the chef himself on James Vs. Burger (he has a more recent review of the last kitchen takeover too if you want to take a look).  I think he had one pop-up at Bloc on Bath Street, and for the past two years he’s been taking up residency in Brewdog’s kitchen on Argyle Street, satisfying the burger needs of the Glasgow population.  Good beer + best burger = happy days.

Brunch: Bankeråt, Copenhagen

Bankeråt – http://www.bankeraat.dk/
Ahlefeldsgade 27-29, 1359 København K

While in Copenhagen in December last year, we were on the hunt for somewhere to eat/escape the rain for a couple of hours. Totally in the mood for brunch (when am I not…), we came across Bankeråt in our research (and by research, I mean a quick Google search of “brunch in Copenhagen”).

Trans Europe Cafe

25 Parnie St, G1 5RJ

So a brunch date to the Trans Europe Cafe happened.  I’d been wanting to visit for a while, ’cause I feel like the Cafe holds some kind of reputation for being an ideal casual/delicious brunch spot in the city centre.

CAU Glasgow

WWW.CAURESTAURANTS.COM
222-224 Ingram St, Glasgow, G1 3BX

Last weekend Rick and I made our first visit to CAU, Glasgow.  Their Glasgow restaurant opened up a few months ago I think, and being settled in the beaut of a building I walk past every day was really ramping up the temptation.  I originally wanted to go for brunch (sweet potato and chorizo hash – hello) and Rick wanted to go for Sunday roast, but we happened to miss both… So dinner it was.

New Years Day 2016

The beauty of staying in on New Years Eve watching Inside Out (which, by the way, was amazing) means no New Years Day hangover.  So this January 1st Richard and I headed out for a winter’s day walk, because it also happened to be the first day in forever that it wasn’t raining.

I was thinking of writing down some new years resolutions but it all seems a bit too cliché.  I definitely have some personal goals for the year ahead but I can maybe discuss them in a later post.  But I believe in start as you mean to go on, so here’s to exploring and taking more photographs in 2016!

bakery47 table

bakery47, Victoria Road, Glasgow

bakery47 – http://www.bakery47.com/
76 Victoria Rd, Glasgow G42 7AA

A chilly Saturday morning and a break from the endless Glasgow rain meant one thing – a winter’s walk, and a visit to bakery47.  My first visit to be exact. With the sporadic opening hours and limited info available online, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect.  What I found was a warm and welcoming bakery-come-cafe with a pastry selection to please everyone imaginable.

9 Denmark Street, London, WC2H 8LS

On a recent jaunt to London, I revisited an old favourite restaurant in Soho – Flat Iron.  Having visited the Beak Street branch a few times before, I was really excited to see they’d opened their second restaurant which is tucked away on Denmark Street, and felt obliged to go check it out.

The weekend before last saw the opening of Brewdog’s latest addition to their lineup – Doghouse. Homed in what has been an empty, unused space for as long as I can remember, the new bar is a welcome addition to Hutcheson Street.

Gesso Coffee Shop

Gesso Coffee and Tea Lounge – www.facebook.com/GessoLounge
20-22 St Georges Road, G3 6UJ

Today we went for a long walk; through the city, down to Queen’s Park then back up and along the River and through the West End.  Made a pit-stop at Kelvingrove Gallery then headed back into town, and very happily stumbled across Gesso – a relatively new café tucked away on St George’s Road.  I’d briefly read about this on WOW247’s “Best Coffee Spots in Glasgow” post a few weeks ago but had totally forgotten about it.
