Kelvingrove Café: Reviews & Ratings
I bloody love this place! It's my fave place in Glasgow. The cocktails are delicious and the staff are lovely. It's got a warm, dark, sophisticated decor and great relaxed atmosphere, we always head here for cocktails when we are having a nice night out. Cocktails are not cheap but they are THE BEST
Was strolling along the street contemplating what to have for lunch. Came across a few eateries but pretty empty. This restaurant was pretty packed. Recalled reading they only served all day breakfast. However, I decided to head in and check them out. And concidentally, today is the first day they are serving Sunday roast. 22 pound Sunday roast with beer is priced well. Food was reasonably good.
Best chicken I’ve ever had in my life. New chefs special recipe with own hot sauce was exceptional. Chicken skin butter and side of bread was so good. Fantastic service. Fantastic vibe.
We've started coming here regularly for brunch/lunch and I love it. The staff have a level of panache you don't see much in food service anymore, professional, communicative, sassy and strong. Each server and barperson has their own personality and strengths I love to learn more about every time. For menu item swap outs they're super helpful! The menu is basic but each meal is constructed with consideration to every ingredient. You can't help but share a bite with your friends to experience! We didn't have any cocktails but they also look top tier. Honestly this type of venue doesn't exist much anymore and I feel lucky to have stumbled across it. It's great to see such pride in service and in restaurant offerings.
Did not have food as we had booked elsewhere but the staff were lovely and attentive. Would definitely come back.
Went here for brunch for the first time a couple of weeks ago, mainly due to the location and reading other reviews. It was fantastic! The menu and food quality was excellent and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The place has a lovely relaxing, cosy atmosphere with real fire and they serve the best coffee I've had in Glasgow. Looking forward to visiting again..
Great spot, it’s big, but still feel intermit inside with great lighting and lots of different spaces and rooms. Nice lively atmosphere. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Super range of cocktails, all very good and nicely presented. Expensive, but excellent quality.
I didn't actually get to taste the food but I have to praise the bar for such an amazing experience. I popped in after a gig, on my own and even though the bar was mobbed on a Thursday evening, (all the staff but in particular a bartender with dark, curly hair and a mustache) made me feel so welcome, made sure my drinks were flowing even though he was completely mobbed, somehow kept track of who was next and made sure nobody was ignored or forgotten. Have never experienced a bar that was so mobbed yet so organised at the same time. I will definitely be back

For those with brunch cravings, the café barely misses a beat. A regular customer, Ash L, stumbled upon their mouth-watering all-day breakfast on a leisurely stroll.

It’s a testament to Kelvingrove Café’s commitment to quality food that keeps patrons returning time and again.
One of the standout dishes, as praised by Kirsty M, is the chef’s special recipe chicken with its unique hot sauce. Described as the best chicken she's ever had, it comes with heavenly chicken skin butter and freshly baked bread. The layers of flavor and texture reveal a thoughtful presentation that speaks volumes about the café’s culinary dedication.
