My favourite place in Glasgow for a cup of very special tea. Tucked away on a cobbled street in the West End, this wee gem is a haven from the chains of coffee shops in the city centre. With so many teas from all over the world on offer, the menu is like a book. I confess to never having tried any of them apart from the Yogi Yogi chai – it’s so good I can’t bring myself to have anything else. Definitely the best chai I have ever tasted. The atmosphere here is most definitely laid back. Take a seat inside if it’s cold. The mishmash of tables and chairs is divided by screens and voile curtains. I like to stretch out on the cushions in the Zen Room at the back and listen to the chill-out music. If it’s sunny, sit outside in the tea garden and try a shisha. It’s not unusual to hear conversations going on in three different languages here. Tchai Ovna attracts a very international clientele. The vegetarian meals and snacks and home-baked cakes are all very reasonably priced and portions are on the large side. Check out the events page on Tchai Ovna’s website for gig listings. There’s something on most evenings including jazz, folk, blues, sitar recitals and poetry readings. Details about this spot (Show on map)
