Holy Grail, Thy Name Is Haggis Nachos...

Advantages: excellent food, friendly staff, no snobbery, great menu, great food!
Disadvantages: steak done medium instead of medium-rare... not wheelchair accessible

...I GET THERE? + Brodies is located at 53 West Regent Street - for those a bit familiar with the City, you know where the Odeon Cinema on Renfield Street is / was (it's boarded up now - boo!) ? With Revolution vodka bar across the road? Yep, make your way to the corner where Revolution is (do try to avoid the temptation to go in, you can get pissed later), and start walking along West Regent Street. Look on the ground. Do you see the word 'FROGGLES' ...
...NEON PROFANITY OUTSIDE + Brodies is quite understated from the outside, and as we made our way up the steps we waited for the greeter to take our reservation details and seat us. It took a minute or two - at which point I was wondering if we should just go straight to the bar and ask - when our friendly greeter had finished serving and marked our name off and took us to our table. Although it was still relatively early (just after 5pm) there was ...

Review of Brodies Bar & Restaurant, Glasgow

5 courses for the price of 2? You got it!

Advantages: enormous variety including deserts and ice cream
Disadvantages: no refill option for soft drinks

Salad Bar, a cake which gets changed, soft ice machine. Fruits, a large salad bar with many dressings to choose from. and a great variety of hot dishes. For example, take the mandarines: not in too sugary a sauce, top quality! I'll give it the highest rating as I like to take friends there, too. ** One thing I missed was either a soft drinks fountain or a refill deal like the one offered by Pizza Hut. ** This place is suitable for those in a hurry, ...

Review of Oran Mor

Costa Coffee-TI PREGO.

Advantages: Reminds me a little of Italy which I miss.
Disadvantages: Smoking allowed. Expensive.

Costa Coffee Bar-or if you prefer,Boutique,are springing up all over the place and no self respecting city or large town these days,would be without them. Most of us british are aware of them now,as they have been around a respectful amount of time,and proving popular with all age groups. Certainly the costa is less crowded in my area than the cramped and stifling "Starbucks" and I must say that the HotChocolate;(though nowhere like-or as high ...
...in Naples,Italy!was the best,ever.) the costa coffe is my main reason to keep abreast of my chocolate addiction.And-to a certain extent remind me of lovely hazy -pre married days of italy!! I don't actually drink tea or coffee,and the costa offers the customer a whole lot more than just that,(apart from including the standard,good old earl grey),but- more importantly for me-their herbal teas,starting at £1.79 a cup Which is the same starting price ...

Review of Costa Coffee Boutique, Glasgow

a corporate coffee trough

Advantages: Free papers
Disadvantages: unfair dismissal of lovely hardworking staff-members

If you can stomach sitting in a cafe full of faux-bohemians drinking their half-shot/decaf/skinny-latte-with-no-foam... then join this crowd of jaded posers. Better still, sit in the window and try to scrutinise the sunday papers, whilst actually trying to raise your social appeal by being "seen". Avoid like the plague.
