number 16

we had an amazing meal here on our recent trip to glasgow, there were 6 of us, the service was excellent, the food was very tasty. we all had starters, most of our party had the monkfish and said it was lovely, i myself had the striploin of beef that was cooked to perfection, it was just the way i like it, medium rare, it just melted in my mouth. i was greedy and had a desert, can’t remember what it was called, but, it was turkish delight, jellies, pistachio nougat , chocolate ice cream and there was something else but can’t remember what it was, i have a very sweet tooth and it was amazing, it was one of the best deserts i have had in a long time. the server we had could not have been more helpful, thank you for a lovely evening, and next time i’m in glasgow we will be back.

great food and great service! perhaps a little on the pricier side, but that goes hand in hand with fine dining and great food. the service was really nice; lots of fine dining restaurants can be a little cold or robotic, but here the staff were really friendly and nice. food was well served, well done, and all round a lovely experience. will surely be going back.

intimate restaurant and atmosphere. great personal service from lindsay. not a large but well considered and interesting food and wine menu. we shared the excellent tomato and gazphacio soup creation with burrata cheese. my partner had the perfectly cooked scottish steak and i had the chickpea ragout with aubergine, courgette, toast red pepper and whipped hazelnut. all were very, very good. we shared an excellent roasted cauliflower gratin side. for dessert, we shared a pistachio sponge with goats cheese and spiced cherries and cherry sorbet. it was light and flavoursome. we thoroughly enjoyed thefrench rose ; for the quality, reasonably priced.

great meal, service and atmosphere. highly recommend.

we had a large party and booked upstairs area. the staff were the perfect - filling up water, refilling wine, knew who ordered what etc.
the food was really impressive. the menu had great variety for all dietary requirements. i had the salmon starter, the salmon was perfectly cooked and melted in mouth. i also had the sea bream as a main. both had fantastic complex flavours.
also i was very happy with the cost, i thought it was very reasonably price.
i recommend this place and will go back.

only been there once a few years ago but the food was delicious. waiting to revisit glasgow so i can go back for a meal here. highly recommended!

had a great experience here, went in on a weeknight with no reservation and the staff were happy to seat us. we were told that a couple of big tables had come in just in front of us and there might be a longer wait than usual on food. they brought us some bread and balsamic while we waited and we ordered a bottle of the pinot noir, which was lovely!
we weren't waiting long before they took our order, we started with olives and shortbread, these tasted fresh and delicious, the shortbread had a cheese flavour and went really nicely with the olives. we ordered the pork belly and gnocchi as mains. these were fantastic, every ingredient worked perfectly together - we found the quality of the food outstanding. for desert we tried the choux pastries filled with coffee, orange and salted caramel cremes, again we were delighted with the quality and flavour. this has been one of my favourite meals in glasgow, i highly recommend everyone to try this food!

new years eve (or as us scots call it, hogmanay) is traditionally a big party night with plenty of drams to keep everyone going. the last couple of hogmanays have been quiet for me with work but this year i decided to arrange a big get-together with some friends of ours. we had friends come from london, aberdeen, belfast & kirkcudbright so i needed a foolproof plan to make the night a success for everyone. after lots of group messaging, it was decided that we would go to number 16 on byres road for dinner and to the ashton lane street party afterwards.

we were booked in at the restaurant at 5.30pm, partly because of the availability that the restaurant had left and partly because we wanted to arrive at the lane early so that we could all get seats. number 16 had a special hogmanay menu on with three courses and a glass of fizz for £29.95 – an absolute bargain on hogmanay.

i have eaten the pork belly main course in here before and this starter was like a mini version. three or four people that i have been chatting to about this restaurant mentioned the pork belly dish so it is not just me who loves it. i hope that they never take this off the menu.

i had the venison for my main course – it was perfectly cooked and tender and i loved each flavour in the dish. my only gripe was that it was a bit sweet for me so i would have preferred less of the sweet stuff on the plate and more puree or a savoury element.

the seabass was a close second for me when choosing what to have because i loved the sound of it but my friend who had it said it was delicious.

the only reason that i never chose the panna cotta is because i had poached fruit with my main but it went down well with the others.

the cheesecake was rich and tasty, and the peanut praline gave the dish a nice change of texture. i was sad to see that the (best i’ve ever eaten) sticky toffee pudding was not on the menu but this made up for it. our waiter was also very helpful with tweaking the dish for mr s so that it did not contain nuts. i really respect restaurants who make dishes that the nuts can be removed from, rather than lacing the main element with nuts leaving allergy sufferers little choice on the menu.

except from a drinks spill and momentarily setting a napkin on fire (!) the meal was a success and we were ready for continuing our night at ashton lane.

the restaurant has an understatedly classy but homely look to it & fantastic individual style wood tables. finally, our waitress was just lovely. there was only one on because it was a wednesday lunchtime and the place is very small but we didn’t have to wait for anything. she was helpful and made us feel at ease. i just hope that next time i visit that the restaurant lives up to the high expectations – thats when i will know its worth.

nice petit restaurant in the west end. i think they only serve a selection from their 2-3 course menu. we tried a selection of these with majority of entrees and mains. they were well cooked and presented but lack the wow factor. taste wise, the flavour combination was good especially with the chicken breast i ordered, which comes with a caesar type salad & anchovies. their bream was also well cooked and matched the peas which accompany it. overall, i think its worth giving it a go. its suitable for longer business lunches if time allows.

number 16 is definitely good enough to satisfy a fine dining craving. the food served was pretty good to the extent i visited number 16 3 times altogether in a week. the good thing about number 16 is that they accommodated me even though i told them that i was coming alone. i am saying this because i know of michelin star restaurants who shun me away just because i was going solo.

finally get to try it out. i visited no. 16 on friday evening with my girlfriend. this was our first trip here after a couple of years of meaning to. thankfully we were not disappointed. we thought we would try out the pre-theatre for our first visit as it seemed very good value and the selection was also very good. we were both more than suitably impressed with our selections, everything tasted fantastic and the ingredients were good quality and nice and fresh, so flavours were very good. this gave us a good feeler to gauge for a future return trip to try out ala carte next time, which we are now looking forward to. from the moment we walked in the door the staff were very friendly and helpful. i can see why this place gets a good name, the food is of a very good standard and for the price represents excellent value.

different class. i have visited this restaurant over the years and at last someone has hit the spot. i remember the chef/owner, who used to send out under seasoned bland food (he has now taken over another establishment in the west end) however, his departure has been a god send to my palate. well done number 16 you have rescued my taste buds.

cosy, quality food, friendly service and great value in a much loved neighbour were the words chosened by the owner to describe this wee humble establishment just at the bottom end of byres road. i knew i was set for a great lunch deal snatched off www.5pm.co.uk. the set up of this place was nice and warm with a low lying ceiling providing what was describe as a cosy atmosphere. a little too tight perhaps in some areas that might just be abit intrusive if you were considering a romantic one on one date. nevertheless, nothing that a good meal couldn't make up for. we were served warm seeded bread for a start with a nice dallop of butter and balsalmic olive oil on the side. c had a oven baked mini fish pie with saffron mash. pies are not a commonly cooked item in the flat, much less a fish pie. i can see why she decided to go for it. great taste and a great portion for a starter. if not for the scorching temperatures, she might have wolfed it down. we try not to order the same dishes whe

by far my favourite restaurant in glasgow, food, service and wines all brilliant. prices reasonable, my only gripe is infrequent changes to menu.

from the generously-proportioned set menu we ordered the fishcake and the ox-cheek for starters. i couldn’t tell you if it was like an unexpected punch to the solar-plexus from a well-meaning friend, but it did taste like the most fantastic thing i’ve eat
