It would seem that Glaswegians love tapas. As well as normal Spanish tapas restaurants (some would say that if it isn't Spanish, it isn't tapas, and I have to admit that I'm one of them) you can also find Italian "tapas," Indian "tapas" and Chinese "tapas." To name but a few. The restaurants seem to be cropping up everywhere.
Not that I object, of course, I like snacking on a selection of tasty tidbits as much as anyone else. Just emphasising that there's plenty of choice.
If the choice is mine, I'll select Cafe Andaluz. Especially if someone's carrying a Snapfax, because 20% off food goes a long way with a decent sized group of people, and you should always get tapas with as many people as you can.
On this occasion we went for lunch to the branch on Cresswell Lane. We each ordered three tapas, and to my horror, didn't share them. This is a practice that makes me squirm, this kind of food is for sharing, that is clear. Unfortunately, some people can't quite manage that, and being the nice, polite kind of person (and being fully aware that I was getting lunch with some people who until recently had been my bosses) I said nothing.
Unfortunately, that means I can't tell you if their dishes were good or not. However, mine were. I ordered calamares, champinones and chorizo frito al vino. All were delicious, including the calamares, which people often overcook. A slight relief came in that everyone was happy to share the bread and olives that arrived, and which went with the tapas as well as you would expect.
This branch is downstairs, but is lit well enough that while you're dining you aren't aware of being underground. On this occasion it was quiet, but the staff managed to be attentive without being annoying, in spite of their boredom with nothing to do.
I can also tell you, from previous visits, that their paellas are delicious, and excellent value. They suggest that they feed two, but they are wrong, they feed three. Three very hungry people. I wouldn't usually order paella at a tapas restaurant, because I usually feel like I'm there to try a range of things - which I am - but it is a shame, because they really are quite excellent. Unfortunately, the mini paellas you often find among the tapas options are never quite up to scratch, so you shouldn't use them as the basis for what the full sized ones will taste like.
I'm going to try to come back here some more. Ideally with people who don't have phobias about sharing food, so that we can do it properly. The only thing that restricts me is that La Tasca insist upon sending me 50% off food offers with great regularity. Now La Tasca do serve perfectly good tapas, I really enjoy them, and I always have fun there. However, Cafe Andaluz are that little bit better. It's reflected in the price, but I think it's well worth it.
Of the three "tapas" places I've been to in Glasgow, Cafe Andaluz remains a firm favourite. Because it's better quality, because it has a better selection, and because it's more authentic. I'll be heading back as soon as I can.

Las Iguanas (Leeds)
What: Restaurant
For: Lunch
With: Nick
Site: Here
I've been going to Las Iguanas for years now, and it's still ice cool. I'm a big fan of Mexican food, and whilst this is technically a Latin restaurant, it more than caters for my tastes.
The restaurant has a somewhat unusual layout, with a main area, and two slightly raised areas for eating at, and a screened off bar. I must admit that it would seem odd to go to Las Iguanas for the bar alone, but it seems popular enough.
On this occasion I ordered champinones for my starter and enchilada for my main. They make slight changes to the menu on a regular basis, but I've never ordered anything that wasn't delicious, and I've tried a good range of what they have to offer.
The food did not disappoint on this occasion. If I was to recommend something to someone visiting for the first time, I'd suggest the crayfish cocktail, the Buenos Aires burger (Argentinian beef is better than Scottish, even Aberdeen Angus pales in comparison) and an Ipanema Mess (which is like an Eton Mess, but with guava).
I'd also suggest that you try their coolers, specifically the passion fruit one. The elderflower one isn't available anymore, but if they ever bring it back, it's the only thing I'd suggest that you avoid in this place.
Oh, and I'm not suggesting that you shouldn't get a real drink, if you're inclined to do so you certainly should! Caipirinhas are the Brazilian answer to Mojitos, and quite delightful. They're made with cachaca instead of rum, and are well worth trying, especially considering that they don't appear on menus all that often.
Honestly, I'm sad that there isn't much more for me to say. But it's hard to write much when there isn't much to criticise. Food is excellent and arrives promptly, staff are friendly and helpful (just ask if you're not sure about anything on the menu), atmosphere is good, drinks are interesting.
The only con is that because it has become such a firm favourite, I tend to fall back on it so regularly that I occasionally feel guilty for neglecting to try new places. If you're in Leeds, and you get the opportunity go and check it out. The lunch menu and the tapas are inexpensive, and the mains menu is quite reasonable too. Also, if you sign up to their email list they will regularly send you offers (e.g. £5 off, or 20% off total bill, etc).
It's hidden away behind the Corn Exchange, but it's not hard to find. Go look for it.

Brel (Ashton Lane)
What: Bar/Restaurant
For: Dinner
With: Friend
Site: Here
I must have wandered past Brel a hundred times, and I've probably thought "I should try that place some time" at least 20 of those times. As usual, I'm drawn by the cheap lunch offers I've seen them advertising, on this occasion though, I actually went for dinner.
We'd decided that we wanted to eat out, but not dress up, so the West End seemed like a good plan, and Ashton Lane was probably the best choice, since we're students, and as such looked student-y. In Ashton Lane, this means you look like you belong there.
My student-y tendencies meant that I was uninterested in the concept of parting with more of my cash than I had to. We had not at this point decided where to go, and it was getting a little late, so I looked on 5pm.co.uk for places in the West End that had offers. Brel had a set "5pm Special Menu." It was inexpensive, and they still had tables available, so we went for it.
We were seated at a small table in the corner, but felt in no way that we had been pushed to one side. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the clientele were clearly enjoying themselves. This is another place with an extensive beer list, we were handed the 5pm menu and a beer menu (note no wine, the website tells me they do serve wine, but I couldn't find it. Soft drinks and the odd cider were available, though).
Since the offer was for a two courses for a set price, we agreed to share a starter and a desert, and get a main each. It's a system that works well for me. After ordering our interesting beers (I think mine was called Barbar or something, it was good; sweet and orange-y) we ordered some mussels to start.
I like mussels, though they might be something of an acquired taste, and I have to say, if you'd like to acquire it, there are worse places than Brel to try. It turns out that they're quite proud of them, and rightly so. Ours were served in a garlic and white wine sauce, and were very moreish. I would happily have ordered the main-size portion on another occasion.
For main I chose the pork loin, and Euan chose the sausages. To me his dish looked like glorified bangers and mash, which he confirmed that it was, but that didn't seem to put him off. I suspect that it was in fact one of the lesser options on the menu. The pork loin was delightful though, tender enough that I almost felt sorry for it. I don't order pork often, but I can't criticise it here at all.
Finally we shared the Belgian waffle, and I finally realised that it was a Belgian restaurant. The beers had not been enough of a clue for me, it seems. The portion sizes had been huge, and we were both, technically, quite full. However, as you know, desert goes in a different space in the human stomach (basic anatomy) so we struggled on.
Euan felt it was the best dish, I am forced to disagree - it was good, and in fact ideal to follow what I'd already eaten, but I'm not much of a sweet tooth, and I felt it paled a little when compared to both the pork and the mussels. I don't regret ordering it, but it wasn't quite that spectacular.
I've heard bad things about their lunch options, which is a shame, because I've now looked at the menus on the website, and have found that it's actually a little pricey there. I know that I didn't pay anywhere near that much, and while it was excellent, unless it was a special occasion my student budget would make a revisit prohibitive.
My suggestion if you'd like to go would be to look on 5pm.co.uk, like I did, and try to find an offer. Do go though, because the usually high prices of the food are high for a good reason, there's no question that the quality of the food is quite excellent.
Oh, and if you were there for the rum tasting night that they were doing the evening I left Glasgow (18th August) tell me all about it, and I'll do my best not to murder you out of jealousy. I hope they do another.

Ketchup (Ashton Lane)
What: Restaurant
For: Lunch
With: Boyfriend
Site: Here
I am a sucker for a good student offer. I am also usually dragged in by marketing ploys. Burgers are good too. As a result, it's hard for me to stay away from this particular "gourmet" burger restaurant.
Ketchup is part of the Social Animal network in Glasgow, a relatively new addition, it partakes in the network's tendency to do plenty of student offers. It's main (usually only) offer is two-for-one on weekdays.
Now, if you're a student, you'll read that as "half-price if I bring a friend along and we split the bill." Generally this is what I do. I actually visit the place alarmingly often, and I've probably been there more than any other single restaurant in Glasgow, which is impressive to say it only opened in September.
The service isn't always the fastest, particularly when they're busy (which they often are) but the staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is good. So I tend to forgive them. It's not the sort of place where you mind having to sit and wait for someone to come and take your order, because it's so relaxed - plus you can play with the magnets that are stuck to the magnetic drinks menu board, and make naughty sentences!
In terms of drinks they offer the standard range of soft drinks, a few good bottle beers and a couple on draft, and a small range of wines. Personally, wine seems like an odd thing to order with this kind of food, but I guess there's no harm in offering it. They also have milkshakes, which are large, and arrive in a milk bottle. Not the most spectacular I've had, but up there, and worth trying, although beer is probably the best thing to drink with a burger. Ideally peroni, but I digress.
I have only ever tried one of their starters. Predictably, the nachos. Order the small, and enjoy being surprised at the size, the first time I ordered them I had to ask to make sure they'd got it right and not accidentally brought the large ones. Plus, they taste really rather excellent. If the other starters are as good, then they've got it right.
For the main you are limited to burgers or a small selection of salads. I haven't tried the salads before, but every burger I've ordered I've loved. I was sad to learn that they'd taken the kangaroo burger off the menu (it was actually less a burger and more like a kangaroo steak in a bun, delicious), but there's still plenty of interesting stuff. The venison and the Greek burgers both come highly recommended, or, for the slightly less brave, the good fella and the over-easy. "Mushroom lover's Delight" isn't really, perhaps mine simply wasn't up to their usual standard, but when they said it came "loaded with mushrooms" I feel they lied.
Do note that the burgers don't come with chips or salad. You get your burger and whatever's in with it, and a pot of coleslaw. I'd suggest getting a portion of chips and a portion of onion rings for every two people, though not if you've ordered a starter or fancy a dessert. A burger might not seem like much, but these are quite special, and surprisingly filling.
If you're still hungry they do have deserts on offer, the selection being Knickerbocker glory, cherry pie or New York cheesecake. The Knickerbocker glory is beyond huge, plenty to share with a friend. The cherry pies are individual, rather than a slice, and impossibly cute, the filling is exceptional, though the pastry does let it down a little. New York cheesecake is a slice, and I'm told it's very good, though I haven't tried it myself.
For the price, the mood, the vibe, it's wonderful. Gloriously relaxed dining that has been aimed perfectly at students. Good enough that I don't mind going occasionally at weekends, even though it isn't two-for-one, as I did on Sunday. So, next time you're thinking of getting take-out because you can't be bothered to cook, don't. Instead, drag a friend along to Ketchup with your student cards and enjoy one of the best burgers in Glasgow.

Ad Lib (Hope Street)
What: Bar/Restaurant
For: Meal (Dinner)
With: Boyfriend
Site: Here
Last week Nick and I visited Ad Lib for dinner. I'd actually only booked it at the last minute - I'd realised on Friday night that we'd need a table somewhere on Saturday evening. This was simply the first place I found that had tables free at the time I wanted.
My first impression was a little confused. As you enter there is a bar area, clearly separated from the restaurant area itself. At first glance I saw only the bar, but we walked through and found where we were meant to be.
It was surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night, and was immediately obvious that I needn't have booked. However, I am pleased that I did, maybe this Saturday was quiet, but there's no reason to believe that others would be.
Service was quick too, perhaps because there was more staff than necessary for a quiet night. However there was nothing to suggest that they wouldn't be just as attentive when the place was packed. The only time we had trouble getting attention was when we wanted to pay, so I'll not complain.
It happened that there was an offer running where you could get two courses for a set price (excluding rather expensive steaks from the grill, for which you would pay extra). We decided to share a starter, get a main each, and share a dessert.
To start we got the nachos. Standard fare, pretty good portion to say it would normally have been for one. For some reason though, they did seem especially good. Maybe they've just got your basic chili-nachos dish down to perfection, or maybe it's simply that I'd been craving them for a few days, but I reckon they were the second best I've had in the city. One day I'll tell you where to get the best.
For main I chose the catfish and Nick chose the chicken in BBQ sauce. Both were excellent. I don't believe I've tried catfish before, but I would happily recommend it. The bread-crumb coating was rather special too, somewhat sweet, I was tempted to ask what they'd put in it, but couldn't face the possible shame that I'd encounter if they said "sugar." Nick, usually silent in opinions on food unless asked was clearly quite delighted with the chicken. Both were served with salad, Nick's with crushed new potatoes, mine with hundreds upon thousands of fries. You will not go hungry here.
Desert was sticky toffee pudding, apparently flavoured with whisky. I was pleased to see it was raisin-free. Not that I have anything again raisins, just that I prefer my sticky toffee pudding without it. It was good, the standard perhaps not reaching that of the rest of the meal, but certainly above average.
I was glad we'd decided to share starters and deserts, or else the portions would have been too much for me. It would have been a great shame if I had not been able to finish anything. I suspect Nick will ask me to book it again, if only so we can try their "gourmet burgers."
So, in summary, really rather excellent bar style food. Large portions, high quality, satisfying. I will definitely be back, possibly even just for a few drinks, since the bar area seemed to have a good atmosphere. It was a little busier than the restaurant, not so far that you'd be unable to find a table. Nick tends not to drink with food, and generally if I'm out with him I'll abstain too, but on this occasion I noted a Concha y Toro wine I'd had before, and loved, on the list, so I ordered a glass. It was not the only one on the list I'd try, and all were fairly priced. I also saw cocktail menus on the tables in the bar as we left, and as always, I was curious to find out what was on them. Some other time.
You'll get a reasonably priced, large, delicious meal in a pleasant environment. Well worth a visit.
