Gie's Piece! Glasgow

Quality sandwiches

Gill from Glasgow

About me Born and brought up in Helensburgh on the Clyde Coast, I've lived in Glasgow for 18 years. Worked for Radio 4 in London for 7 years then moved back to Scotland to work in radio and online for BBC Scotland. Escaped after twenty years to freelance as a media producer and write a novel (which I'm still writing). Why Glasgow? Because: You'd be hard-pushe...
""Gie's Piece!" is for those of us who fancy a decent munch for lunch. The old folk in this cafe take their (huge choice of) sandwiches really seriously."

Sick of soggy supermarket sandwiches? Fancy a decent munch for lunch? Head to Piece on Argyle Street in Finnieston.

A 'piece' in the Glasgow vernacular is a sandwich. Traditionally, two slices of pan bread spread with jam - a 'jeely piece'. But the Piece pieces are way more fancy. The folk here take their sandwiches seriously.

There's a huge selection of fillings including The Dirty Fat Boy (ham, egg mayo, cheddar, gherkins), The Veggie Banh Mi (roast cauliflower, pickled chillies, sriracha), The Chicken Ole (roast chicken, chorizo, manchego, salsa). I can't see past their Reuben (pastrami, gouda, gherkins, sauerkraut). In fact, I want one now.

Pieces don't come cheap (£4.95 - £5.95), but baguettes and ciabattas are on the large side so, unless you're a gannet, they'll fill you up for the afternoon.

Coffee is good quality and they do salads, soups, bagels and cakes too.

You can sit in or take away or if you're a lazy git with more money than sense, you can order online and get your piece delivered.

See the website for details.

Escaped after twenty years to freelance as a media producer and write a novel (which I'm still writing). Why Glasgow? Because: You'd be hard-pushed to find friendlier people than Glaswegians. It's got one of the best, if not the best music scene in the UK. It's hoaching with quality independent bars and restaurants You won'...
