Tibo Glasgow

The original East End bistro

Debbie from Glasgow

About me I am student journalist with an addiction to coffee and a great love of cats. I love travelling and going out to try new things and explore new places. My boyfriend is a chef and it means we have a great excuse to try different food and check out up & coming restaurants. Why Glasgow?

""Tibo", a little hidden gem of a bistro in Glasgow, is absolutely worth going a little out of your way for. It has great Scottish food with a twist..."

Tibo is always referred to as 'a hidden gem' in Dennistoun, and that's exactly what it is. This little bistro is 10 minutes from the city centre and is absolutely worth going a little out of your way for.

Tibo offers great Scottish food (with a twist) and also has delicious options for vegetarians and vegans. The service is very friendly and attentive, without being overbearing.

No matter what you are in the mood for, you are made to feel very comfortable and the atmosphere is very relaxing. There is also an exhibition of artwork on the wall which changes seasonally and it's great to see the different talent from local artists.

As Glasgow is known for its predictably wet weather, you can also call down and order a takeaway for collection if you fancy a cosy night in!

The Black and Blue burger was voted one of the best in Glasgow (it's exceptional) and you can't go wrong with a bloody Mary in hand. Tibo also has a takeaway right across the street for sandwiches with great pour-over coffee. You can't leave Glasgow without trying it.

About me I am student journalist with an addiction to coffee and a great love of cats. I love travelling and going out to try new things and explore new places. My boyfriend is a chef and it means we have a great excuse to try different food and check out up & coming restaurants. Why Glasgow? Glasgow really is such a lovely place to live, as Billy Connelly says, it's our warmth and humour that makes it so hospitable. Having lived in Glasgow since I was born, I still haven't seen everything! There are many beautiful places to visit in Scotland but I can...

Bar Brel

Beer, mussels and fun in the sun

"Bar Brel" Glasgow is a little enclave of Belgium on Ashton Lane. Each time I go there I feel transported back to hazy weekends in Brussels or Bruges.
