Third visit to this cosy restaurant on the edge of the Merchant City. Small menu of well cooked food - meat, fish and vegetarian. Terrific atmosphere with eclectic music and a friendly owner. Only open Friday and Saturday evenings - but lunch (equally good) is also on offer. Would happily return.

Excellent service, music and food. 2 choices of meat, fish or veggie options so you get a great meal with enough choice. Shame it is only open for dinner 2 nights. Going back to try the sandwiches

I have eaten in this wee gem of a cafe lots of times and it never disappoints. It is tucked away behind the Tron Theatre but seek it out if you're after lovely food, made with fresh tasty ingredients, friendly cheerful staff (who love to sing!) and great decor that reminds me of holidays in warmer places! The old bus... More

Food is excellent and I love that they have the old bus benches for seating! Place is so lovely and they really know how to make fantastic french toast!

Tony makes you feel very welcome in his cafe. The food is fresh and delicious. Great soups . Worth stopping in for the feel good factor even if you're not hungry.

This place is very quickly becoming a family favourite and rightly so. My husband and I, having a few days with no kids, booked a table for a Friday evening. A warm welcome from the owner and drinks in hand we read over the menu and made our choices. After some very tasty starters we both went for the steaks... More

Wee sis and I wandered down for a good Sunday brunch. Both had the full breakfast. It was as she puts it "freakin awesomeness". Eggs to die for. Can't wait to try for dinner.

Difficult to find if you don't know where it is, but worth the hunt. Never had dinner here, but the lunch sandwiches are always excellent. Nip in sometimes for a takeaway coffee which is always decent. Highly recommended.

Come here fairly regularly and I always really enjoy the food, atmosphere and friendly staff. This place used to be at number one of the list in Glasgow and it seems to have suffered from not as many people posting reviews. There is no reason for it to have slipped down in the ratings - they are still doing everything... More
