El cartel I was disappointed with, don’t like their guacamole at all.

Sort of agree with this. I really like El Cartel , but Bodegas a step up.

(But I do think El Cartels Margaritas are better)

Bundits of Leith closed down. They're opening a concession in the new street food area at The Omni though.

I’ve been meaning to go there for absolutely ages. Follow them on Instagram and the food always looks great.

Going there this Sunday. Looking forward to the occasion.

I've had a takeaway from there and it was decent, no idea if the place got decent crowds in though. That site has always been a weird one and nobody seems to have made a long term success of it.

Yes, the fly half after that. Before it was bar java and maybe a few other incarnations. Nobody's managed to give it the longevity of the other pubs down there

Haven't been for years but we used to go during the day at weekends and it was quite popular. Quiet through the week so maybe the weekend business wasn't enough to cover the midweek losses.

It's a very big unit, over 2 floors as well. Energy costs alone must be huge.

Bodega was excellent on Saturday.

Black bean dip to start. Then 4 pairs of tacos between us: buffalo chicken, baja fish (it used to be cod but they seem to be using a different white fish now), tempura prawn and the lamb croquette special.

Their tempura prawns are absolutely different class.

Went to La Casa in Dalry for the first time on Friday night and really enjoyed the food and wine. I’ll be back.

I go to the one on Leith Walk fairly often.

Consistently decent and handy for a scran after a Hibs game too.

It’s really good. I’ve been a few times and never had a bad dish there.

Was at ****et Pavillion on Friday night, really enjoyed it. Their pre theatre menu is brilliant value.

I want to go again even more now 😁

On the Mexican chat - was years ago I was there but I liked topalabamba on Lothian road. Probably more so than El Cartel and the one at St Andrew square whose names escapes me.

Went to Rubab on Shandwick place last night, the service and food were tremendous. The tandoori mixed grill was probably the best one I have ever had. It was called Rubab when we booked it but is currently undergoing a name change.

At Dine this afternoon in Grindlay Street. An "Itison Sunday".

Fantastic food and service. Will definitely be going back for full menu.

Anyone recommend decent restaurants in Glasgow? Midweek visit next week. Prefer Italian or Chinese but any good place.

DiMaggios is good but it’s a chain so up to you if that suits your needs or not. Not Chinese but Sapporo Teppanyaki on Ingram Street is unbelievable, pricey but I’d say worth it. Mharsanta on Bell Street, Moskito on Bath Street, Green Gates in the Merchant City all worth a mention too.

Good Italian in Hope Street, sorry can't remember the name, few years since I was there. It's close to Central Station, very busy.
