IF there’s one things Glasgow’s starting to get pretty good at, its offering up a right good brunch. And what better way to get the weekend off to a great start with pals than with a boozy one?
Here, we’ve chosen nine of our favourite places in and around town for a late breakfast. It’ll no doubt keep on expanding, so get in touch with us with your top spot:
So L.A.
Mitchell Street
Saturday 12pm to 4pm and Sunday 11am to 4pm
Glasgow’s newest and hippest restaurant recently launched a California-inspired brunch menu, which includes a croissant burger overflowing with silky mac ‘n’ cheese, gourmet steak and eggs and french toast covered in edible flowers. They also do a prosecco brunch for two deal that comes with a bottle of fizz. Head to solaglasgow.com/calibrunch.
Comet Pieces
Queen Margaret Drive
All day
Famed for its breakfast rolls, this West End eatery is no ordinary roll shop. They do Morton’s crispy rolls absolutely rammed with fillings. Why not opt for haggis, hash brown, fried egg bacon bits and whisky sauce, all in the one bun? Or even pulled pork, mac and cheese, pickled slaw and mustard? Oh, and they also do a pretty mean poutine. Head to cometpieces.co.uk.
Hug and Pint
Great Western Road
Saturday and Sunday, 12pm to 5pm
The team’s boozy brunch was so well received in December that it was extended. Every weekend, enjoy three dishes from a revolving menu along with three drinks, all for £20. Cannae whack it.
