What’s the vibe?
Opened in 2014, Ox and Finch is still one of Glasgow’s most exciting restaurants. You’ll need to book well in advance if you want to secure a table to try its selection of small plates. This spot is rustic, with low-light ambience and a kind of exclusive feel, but don’t worry – you don’t need to be in your Sunday best.
What are prices like?
All plates are small and designed to be shared. Prices range from £4-15 per plate, and you’ll probably be looking at around £50 per head.
What should I order?
Ox and Finch makes something spectacular out of simple, fresh ingredients. Its 200g dry aged rump fillet with diane sauce is a stand out, but all the meat dishes here are pretty special. Vegetables also deserve a spotlight, like the fried artichokes with garlic yogurt and burnt Aleppo butter. If you don’t usually go for desserts, take a risk; the amaro averna semifreddo, blood orange and pistachio will not disappoint.
What’s worth visiting nearby?
The tenement house, a brilliant museum that tells the story of the iconic tenement buildings in Glasgow is not too far away.
