The Ubiquitous Chip

Food and Drink :: Feature 11 Aug 2008

Ruth Marsh: Ah, The Chip. Mothership of the Glasgow restaurant scene for over 30 years and proud parent of those other West End perennials Stravaigin and The Liquid Ship. An institution of the most unstuffy, warmly regarded kind, it has been championing locality,...

Pints and Progress

Food and Drink :: Feature 30 Jul 2008

Louise Loftus, Dave Hynes: LEITH There’s something strange happening in Leith’s pub culture at the moment. In fact, it’s been happening over the last ten years, but what started out as a few brave attempts to introduce newly-refurbished and redecorated modern ...

Striped Bass

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 11 Jun 2008

Ruth Marsh: Occupying the top-floor unit of Glasgow's upmarket Prince's Square mall that previously housed doomed cocktail bar Hemingway's, Striped Bass is a seafood restaurant with its principles writ large. Simply, if it's endangered in the wild, it won't be goi...

Tempus

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 10 Jun 2008

Barnaby Seaborn: “Drop in for a glass of Veuve Clicqot Rosé after shopping at Harvey Nichols” advises the Tempus website. If you do you will be met by a large softly lit bar, all ochres and browns. Tempus is opposite The Dome and is attached to the G...

IGGS: Spanish Temptations

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 09 Jun 2008

Lara Moloney: A mainstay in the Edinburgh scene for over 20 years, this Spanish restaurant is very well known for quality and expense. However, since sister restaurant Barioja has been taking all the glory it was time to check out this swanky yet understated classi...

BoBar

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 09 Jun 2008

Susan Anderson: Situated in Glasgow's cosmopolitan West End, Bobar is actually part of the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor – only a stone’s throw away from Byres Road – so it’s the perfect shopping day lunch spot. Its slick and stylish interior is cla...

Food For Free: The Glasgow Diary

Food and Drink :: Feature 08 Jun 2008

Louise Loftus: 9.00: Awake to an empty fridge and immediately I regret accepting this assignment. 12.30: Armed only with a packet of sunflower seeds and an emergency five pound note I set out. Hungry, but full of enthusiasm and confident that I’ll be feastin...

Food For Free: The Edinburgh Diary

Food and Drink :: Feature 08 Jun 2008

George Penny: Freeganism is viewed as ridiculous and irresponsible by some, and totally essential by others. I'm going to try it out - to live without eating any food that I have bought for a weekend. Saturday 0130. It’s my last chance to eat food which I&rsq...

Food For Free: Foraging For 'Bush Tucker'

Food and Drink :: Feature 05 Jun 2008

Ruth Marsh: As an errant Devonian, now residing in the (comparatively) big city, I get the occasional Thoreau-esque pang for open spaces and fresh air. This is compounded when I’m faced with the indignity of paying up to £3 for a miniscule punnet of bl...

Food For Free: Interview with the Freegan

Food and Drink :: Feature 04 Jun 2008

Louise Loftus: After being introduced to freeganism several months ago by friends, Antoine de l'Entropie* had been supplementing his weekly shop with foodstuffs from the bins of Marks and Spencers, Sainsburys and others. He became a full time freegan a month ago. It'...

That's The Spirit

Food and Drink :: Feature 04 Jun 2008

George Penny: There is a problem with Scotland and scotch whisky. Scotch comes from Scotland. Scotland is not a large country, but the demand for scotch stretches around the world. There is so much demand for scotch that it could be viewed as a waste to build a dist...

Voujon

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 03 Jun 2008

Nine: Situated close to Pollock Halls and the synagogue, Voujon has been open for almost three years. Inside is bigger and more stylish than its shopfront implies, and the waiters are attentive and pleasant. While I’m there, they also skilfully kick ou...

A Rock 'n' Roll Cookbook

Music :: Food and Drink :: Feature 30 May 2008

Finbarr Bermingham: Elvis regally living out his last minutes on the toilet, cheeseburger in hand. Mama Cass' final dreams of California rudely disrupted by a ham sandwich lodged in her gullet. Ozzy Osbourne... well, y'know, the whole bat thing. Over the years the consum...

Have Fork, Will Travel

Food and Drink :: Feature 21 May 2008

Josh Coppersmith-Heaven, Ruth Marsh: EatScotland, the culinary arm of VisitScotland, is currently trumpeting its range of ‘Taste Trails’, designed to give your trip to Scotland a distinctly local flavour. These are suggestive rather than prescriptive - you have to make your ow...

Firewater

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 01 May 2008

Callum de Caestecker: INSIDE: A huge print featuring Paul Simonon of The Clash smashing his bass greets us as we enter. A good start. Like a rock and roll Tardis, downstairs is much bigger than the narrow exterior would have us expect. There's a comfortable seating area, a ...

The Dogs

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 24 Apr 2008

Barnaby Seaborn: For a Wednesday night The Dogs was busy with couples or small groups generating a lively chatter and buzz. “It’s man food” a pink shirted neighbour asserted. He was leaning over from his table, slightly jolly from a post-work drink or...

Fairtrade Cafe

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 24 Apr 2008

Esme Jones: This well established and comfy coffee spot has enjoyed a revamp, with a shiny new counter and extended menu. In addition to the delicious selection of sarnies, panninis and well-priced breakfast rolls, Fairtrade Cafe has a selection of bagels and panc...

SeeWoo Supermarket

Food and Drink :: Feature 24 Apr 2008

Ruth Marsh: Given its location on the insalubrious Saracen Street (the gastronomic highlight of which appears at first glance to be a Subway sandwich shop), you may well be unaware that Glasgow is home to the largest Asian supermarket in the country. All 60,000 sq...

Iris

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 12 Apr 2008

Rosie Hedger: Nestled in the heart of affluent Edinburgh in the relative silence of Thistle Street, Iris is a restaurant that feels instantly intimate upon entry; further inside, banquet style table plans and warm contemporary interior design add to this inviting am...

The Liquid Ship

Food and Drink :: Venue Review 01 Apr 2008

Susan Maguire: The Liquid Ship is a welcome retreat from the wild stormy night. The small bar has an inviting, informal atmosphere. There are a couple of sofas at the back for the smoochers but otherwise, the seating is geared towards eating and relaxed if not very c...
