hello, we have eaten at Gaig, Cinc Sentits, Hisop, Alkimia, Commerc 24 before but are expecting a new arrival and I just wondered if people knew how it was dining out with a baby, say around nine months old? I know that Barcelona is pretty baby friendly in general but am keen to try Gresca, Embat and Sauc and probably to return to Cinc Sentitis and Hisop but with baby in tow.. Thanks for your help.My Webpage curious-eater.

Yes I agree! I love Asia Style, we were there on Saturday, the Malaysian pancakes are excellent as are the salt and pepper king prawns and the soft shell crab. Fast and spicy but not that fancy.

It's just me but I find the Chip a bit too trad Scottish for my liking but I know other people that like it. There are a lot of places that do food like it- the Sisters, Tattie macs, the Bothy. Out of those the Chip and the Sisters would be the best. There is a place on Great Western Road Cail Bruich which is meant to be ok but I have not been. If you want hearty Scottish produce at reasonable prices then Fanny Trollopes and Roastit Bubbly Jocks are the places for you. They are not fancy but homely and Roastit's is usually packed with quite a buzz. Fanny's is smaller and more for couple's. I liked the food at No. 16 but have not been back because the service is so bad. Time between sitting down and drinks orders and then food orders and food arriving-way too long. I think there was an hour between starters finishing and mains arriving. It's the only place I have considered leaving out of hunger. This was over a year ago so things may have changed, so give it a go but don't go hungry.

hello, I have lived in Glasgow for the last 16 years and have seen the culinary scene change and evolve. I have often despaired at what's on offer compared to Edinburgh or London, so am happy to share what I know so that you too can avoid disappointment! For special occassions I reckon the most reliable places are Hotel Du vin, La Valle Blanche and Michael Caines at Abode. Hotel Du vin's chef Paul Tamburrini seems to be aiming for a star his cuisine has all the foams and small portion sizes that seem requisite for such ratings, despite this the food is pretty tasty. The setting is very old man's club, dark wood and leather. Neill Clark of La Valle Blanche used to be the chef at Etain the Conran venture that folded years ago. His restaurant is very chalet chic and the service attentive. His food is very good, albeit slightly more rustic in size and presentation. Abode again, is part of a chain, the setting is far more contemporary and the food good again, but compared to the other two, maybe less individual. There is of course Martin Wishart at Cameron House. I love Martin Wishart in Edinburgh,but have not yet been to Cameron House. My friend has and said the food is comparable but the service at the Edinburgh venue has the edge. The other place that's good but not as fancy is downstairs at Stravaigin. Hope that's of some help. http://www.curious-eater.com/
