Great Western Road

There's something magical about the main artery through Glasgow's West End.
Enjoy an early morning stroll before the shutters are up and the students have stirred. At night, the promise of a great party in a fourth floor tenement.
Or perhaps it's because it leads straight onto the A82, offering an escape to the haven of Loch Lomond in less than an hour.

Barbeque King
Purveyors of the best end of the night-out chips and cheese in Glasgow. Fact. Add coleslaw into the mix and hangover averted.

Cottonrake Bakery

Home to the finest (and most generously proportioned) croissants this side of the River Kelvin. Expect to queue out the door at weekends.

I J Mellis cheesemongers

A haven for cheese fiends, the shop opened its doors in 1995 and the goods are matured in the cellar. Free samples are often generously dispatched at the door.

Il Cappucino

A long-term fixture in Kelvinbridge and still a solid bet for a reasonably priced coffee and a hot roll.

Glorious

Why do battle with the city centre crowds for something generic when you can pop into this relaxed little boutique for a nearly new one-off frock. The window is as well dressed as the customers.

Kelvin Pocket

A new addition tucked in behind Kelvinbridge underground. Serving up delicious home-made cakes and a bit of peace and quiet away from the main stretch.
