Epicures

In the heart of Hyndland in Glasgow’s West End, Epicures is a relaxed and stylish haunt where unhurried breakfasts ease into lively evenings. A welcoming neighbourhood bar flows into a cosy restaurant with all-day dining, while a heated, dog-friendly terrace keeps the conversation going outdoors all year. The mood is easy-going by day, spirited by night, with a warm buzz that suits any occasion.

The kitchen deals in polished comfort with a European accent and the odd sun-kissed twist. Think dynamite shrimp in a crisp tempura coat with chilli honey and sesame, or steak frites done the classic way. A wagyu beef burger gets the truffle aioli treatment, while the likes of smoked salmon Niçoise and a chicken Caesar salad keep things fresh and bright. Small plates and bar bites invite sharing, from beef sliders to a handful of Gordal olives between sips.

Sweet endings are classic and comforting: crème brûlée or a chocolate and salt caramel delice. At the bar, beers and cider sit alongside a thoughtful spread of wines, and live music adds lift with sets that spin from soul to pop to jazz. Drop in, settle back, and let Epicures show you how the West End likes to while away the hours.
