What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Glaschu Restaurant & Bar is highly praised for its exceptional food, attentive service, and lovely atmosphere, making it a top choice for special occasions and dining in Glasgow. While most reviews highlight the delicious cuisine and the beautiful setting with great views, a few have mentioned initial access or front-of-house service inconsistencies.
"We have visited Glaschu a couple of times now and it has been great both occasions. Food, service & atmosphere are all fab. We’ll definitely be returning again. We had a Christmas lunch here and it was very cosy, perfectly festive & great views of royal exchange square from the windows. The waiting staff are all very friendly and super attentive. Can’t fault them."

"I’m a longstanding Glaschu customer and wanted to tell the world how wonderful it truly is, so here goes.
On this occasion I went for dinner with my husband, who wanted to treat me to something special, and it was.
After a warm welcome from the handsome gentlemen waiters (sorry I didn’t take your names!) we opted for expertly mixed cocktails in the bar first which helped us relax and we had a lovely chat with a friendly couple, as the intimate surroundings encourage.
We were then taken to our table with views of Exchange Square and the rest of the restaurant. Whilst it was completely full, the table had plenty of space and we weren’t in too of anyone.
Our meal was delicious. A relaxed and tasty affair. For starters we had the lobster ravioli and scallops. A lovely precursor to the beef wellington with broccoli, lobster mac n cheese and fries. All beautifully cooked, and just to our taste. We were too full to eat anything else.
Our waitress was Rachel and I can’t thank her enough for listening and guiding to our wants, and successfully delivering a wonderful experience.
Overall another luxurious evening in one of the finest restaurant’s in Glasgow. Thank you Glaschu!"

"My wife and I LOVED Glaschu! The whole experience was really nice. We had the whole restaurant to ourselves and the staff, Jasmine & David, were especially wonderful! Jasmine served us and we had a great time chatting with her about Scotland and our trip. They were helpful and professional! We had a great meal and a great bottle of wine. I’d highly recommend, especially if you’re looking for a more private dining experience or date night. It’s quiet and lovely."

Top bars and restaurants in Glasgow for Dry January
Glaschu shares a building with The Western, a private members club, but has the upper level for great views across the vibrant Royal Exchange Square. Ask for a window seat when you book and watch the world go by, as you sip on a Glasgow Kiss (chilli, basil, ginger syrup, pineapple juice and ginger ale). This is just one of the venue’s mocktails and has a kick, but isn’t overpowering and sets you up perfectly for a tasting menu, or some a la carte dishes.
