Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery in Glasgow City

First time at the Buttery, service was fantastic, food top quality, particularly the Highland Venison.

Lovely meal. Great food . Fantastic company. ⭐️ tku Pablo hernandez

Very delightful environment with efficient service. I am not a big fan of Scottish cuisine but everything we ate in the Buttery was quite delicious and there seemed to have good quality ingredients and masterful recipes. Especially the deserts were sublime. A very satisfactory experience in all.

First visit to the Buttery in celebration of joining club 65 …! The dining experience from beginning to end was indeed “First Class” and the service was second to none ! Well Done to all the staff at the Buttery and a BIG THANK YOU for making my evening such a memorable one !

From the minute we popped in on the off chance of a table for that evening we were made to feel welcome. We had whiskey sours whilst we chose from the menu. The Cullen Skink was delicious, and our friends had gravlax and scallops - all amazing. For mains we had the halibut, beef fillet and chicken with sides. The food was all superb and the staff were helpful,friendly and professional not only assisting with the menu but with local knowledge and helping us make the best of our visit to Glasgow.

Mellow, quaint venue. Great service, great gluten free food options! Will go again, without question.

Excellent place to eat, delicious food, super nice service, kindness, lovely atmosphere. A warm welcome that we will never forget. I highly recommend ! Εξαιρετικό εστιατόριο, να πάτε οπωσδήποτε. Excellent restaurant, I recommend it vividly!

First visit to this exceptional restaurant, wont be the last. I would go so far as rating it my favourite restaurant. Ambience - quality. Food - exquisite. Service - outstanding. Thank you Ryan and your team.

Friendly staff and delicious food! Everything is reasonably priced and great portions!

Excellent food & service, Gavin & staff make a visit here really special & the food is delicious. Can’t wait for our next visit ..

We where made to feel welcome as soon as we arrived the service was excellent and the food delicious it was a special occasion with our daughters and we where given some extra treats a lovely touch so different from our dreadful experience at The Loveable Rogue in the west end will definitely be booking the Buttery again

Nice easy accessible restaurant with friendly staff with good customer service. We did not have a reservation but they were happy to accommodate. The food was well served and piping hot.

We had an anniversary meal with friends in the snug. Food was lovely and the staff were very attentive on the night. In the preparation for the event staff helped with wine, vegetables and providing lovely canapés. Definitely good value for money and truly memorable night .

Had a fantastic lunch today at The Buttery. Food ( wish I had taken pictures), wine and staff were brilliant. A special shout out to Ross and Kirsty who went above and beyond.

Sunday lunch. Perfect portion sizes. Could not fault anything: table, service, room, food. Gravalax and pork cheek starters, both had pigeon mains - first time and delicious - great flavour, dark and tender. Had triple cooked chips (proper!) and wild mushrooms and spinach (perfectly cooked) sides. Possibly the best dessert I’ve ever had (coffee meringue) and partner had roast pears in filo (crunchy but not dry). Satisfying cheese course and petit fours with great flat white to finish. Superb all round.

Fantastic food, lovely place and staff.

Very authentic! Pricy but it worth it

What a lovely dining experience! Food was fantastic, the bread with chilies was one of the best slices and a nice start to the meal. Cullen skink was great, too. Reasonable pricing and staff - from reservations to host to servers - were all exceptionally friendly, accommodating, and gave above par service. Very old school and traditional and would definitely return again.

Luxury lunch was very good, wouldn't hesitate to come back and try some of the other options on the menu

Really tasty Scottish fare, the Highland venison was exquisite. Delicious desserts. Fancy location, tastefully decorated. Late evening reservation Lost in our own world for much of the evening as we’d finally gotten to celebrate our Anniversary due to busy schedules However, service noticeably rushed and mildly passive aggressive by the end, we were the last patrons. Marred the experience.

Historic tea plantation, the essence of Earl Grey.

Fabulous attentive service with outstanding food. Great location for a romantic meal, celebration, or just some bloody good grub.

Private Dining (downstairs) is amazing our overseas visitors were blown away by the amazing food, service thank you again

A gem of a restaurant. The welcome was warm and friendly, service first class and food faultless. I had the salmon starter and have never tasted better - the steak followed and was equally delicious, chips were proper home made. It’s hard but try and leave room for desserts - the coffee meringue was superb. This is the best restaurant experience I’ve ever had in Glasgow.

What a find! With elegant traditional Scottish decor, you're seated in a cosy restaurant. The food is amazing. My husband had Gavlax and Venison, and as a vegetarian, I had Halloumi and Vegi Hagis. All dishes were presented with the highest quality. The service was exceptional. A great way to spend an evening children-free.

Lovely lunch and drinks. Fancy food you must. Try.

I really enjoyed the experience in Buttery, from the warm welcome, great service and exquisite food and drink. Five stars and will be back.

Fantastic birthday treat lunch at The Buttery. Service could not be faulted and the food was out of this world! The plate of petit fours at the end just made the whole experience!

This is a hidden gem. The scallops perfectly cooked. The monkfish as well. Both the recommendations of the waiter. The monkfish lived up to the name "poor man's lobster". The texture was like that of great lobster. The flavor was mild, not fishy.

What a fantastic gem, superb food, first class service and a truly welcoming and relaxing atmosphere. Nothing a too much of an ask for the staff. Having been several times with overseas visitors they love the character and rave about the food and service.

From the minute we walked through the door I knew it would be good! Callum answered the questions we had about the actual restaurant which has an interesting history and is a beautiful space to enjoy. The service was so friendly and helpful - thank you (especially Kirsty). The food was wonderful, from the gravlax to the sea bream which I loved and the pigeon which my companion very much enjoyed, however the dessert bowled us both over - coffee meringue, followed by a cheese course with coffee and petit fours. The luxury lunch is especially good value which was borne out by how full the restaurant was for a Wednesday lunch serving. Thank you to my companion for introducing me to this lovely place steeped in history. I will be back!

The food was wonderful! Best scalloped ever! The Cullen skink soup was amazing, warm and smoky. The service was even better than the food. They were so welcoming and friendly, the perfect amount of attention and professionalism.

The buttery is an unbelievably gorgeous little place in the heart of the city, right near Anderson train station it's in walking distance of the town centre itself. The food was delicious and the staff were incredible...it was such an intimate venue that landed perfectly to my friends wedding. 10 out of 10 would recommend.

Been here for lunch with my mother Everything was impeccable We both had fish for our main and we didn’t have a starter We shared a dessert Absolutely beautiful Would definitely go back I heard it’s Michelin star but we didn’t know at the time when we booked the table Definitely understood afterwards… Would recommend 100%

Food was superb. Staff were lovely, so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, nothing was a problem. Would highly recommend. Also a beautiful historic ambiance.

A birthday celebration, quite simply the best meal I have had for many years anywhere in Glasgow. Open the door and enter a culinary experience from a bygone era.

Second time we ate here, and certainly not the last! Food is always very tasty and service is excellent. Thanks to all the staff for being so kind with our toddler :-)

This is a seriously proper restaurant. Service, food and atmosphere lend itself to a culinary experience you will thoughly enjoy. Price point excellent and wine choice reasonable. If in Glasgow this has to be a go to and I would highly recommend the venison along with the scallops.

Fiendly and helpful staff. Food was delicious. We couldn't make it to desserts.

Best restaurant in Glasgow bar none. Service and staff are exceptional.

Every single aspect was bloody perfect.

Phenomenal food with impeccable service to match. This was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The ambiance was historic and romantic. The attention to detail was like none other and we cannot wait to return!

Valentine dinner date with my wife. This is only the 3rd time we've been here and, once again, we were not disappointed. Perfect combination of ambiance, good food, friendly staff and value for money. We'll be back soon!

A very high-quality restaurant. I have visited it many times. It is a place I go to every time I go to Glasgow, but the price is a bit high.

Sorry to say this, but it was just OK. Nothing special.staff very attentive lovely surroundings. But we called here for the food we both thought it was just OK. Nothing special. Wouldn't return

Expected more . Beef fillet dry wouldn't rush back

We visited here for the third time and had lunch . Once again the food was superb, the staff were fantastic, they are so pleasant , attentive and professional. The choice of food is excellent. We booked for 12:00 noon and by 1:00pm virtually every...

Good place, beautiful decoration, helpful staffs. Attended the wine dinner event last evening - the foods are all of good quality but not quite impressive. Although it’s an event of wine, I don’t really feel for the wine pairing. A good place if you wanna try traditional Scottish dishes!

Absolutely incredible experience from the food to the service and atmosphere everything was exceptional definitely cannot miss if coming to Glasgow big thx for making my birthday a special one

We dined at The Buttery to celebrate a friend attaining her PhD. All of the staff were excellent, and our main waiter Stephen, was attentive, polite and provided great service with a smile! We even received a surprise for the main party member, with Congratulations...

The Buttery restaurant good 👍👍👍

Excellent experience. Everything was just perfect, the food and service was brilliant and the restaurant is well worth a visit.

Visited here for my 60th birthday treat - somewhere I had always wanted to visit - and I was not disappointed. The perfect place for a special occasion and we were made to feel welcome and appreciated. Both the food and the staff were superb...

We ( my wife and I) returned here (4th Feb 2024) after decades having moved away from Glasgow in 1984. But we are so glad we did. Had very good memories from back in those days and thought we’d check it out again! Boom! What...

The atmosphere is fabulous and the staff so friendly and helpful. Visited 3 times since November and each time has been faultless.

Another Friday treat...where to go? Mrs TT mentioned The Buttery and so the choice was made. Lunch is £30 for two courses and a la carte is available ( and you can mix and match between the menus ). The decor is cosy and comfortable...

We went out for dinner for my husband’s birthday.The restaurant is beautiful and we were warmly greeted and taken to to our table. Our waiter was very attentive and a lovely man. The restaurant has a lovely atmosphere to it and the layout of the...

From the moment that we walked through the door we knew that we had chosen well and would be well looked after. We had a table towards the rear of the restaurant in a booth, which was nice and cosy. The restaurant has plenty of...

We came across this restaurant last night by accident, how lucky we were. Food was amazing, great atmosphere and the staff were so helpful and professional. Our waiter Callum was lovely he kindly recommended wines to go with our meals and is a real credit to the restaurant.

Beautiful restaurant, with amazing Scottish food. The scallops were unreal. All the staff were lovely. The ambience was lovely and cosy. The food is such great value for money and great portions. They also gave lots of free bread and butter! and the bread was amazing! It was corn bread and sundried tomato bread when we visited. Wish i lived in Scotland so i could revisit soon!

We feel very lucky to have stumbled onto this restaurant when staying at the nearby Hilton. 5 minutes walk, tops, and we were greeted with a lovely ambience and unfailingly helpful and friendly staff. The food was excellent, good choice of drinks, cocktails and whisky. Good value for fantastic Scottish ingredients cooked to perfection. A big shout-out to the Australian waitress who looked after us so well. Cheers!

Wow - what an amazing wee place! Me & my partner had dinner here last night and I cannot fault anything! Staff were attentive, cheerful & friendly (didn't get the name of the woman with pink hair but massive shout out to her as she was brilliant and made for a lovely experience!). Food was absolutely incredible. Honestly, I think this is one of the best places we've eaten. Will find an excuse to go back soon!

Fabulous, delicious Friday lunch. I don’t know why we left it so long to return. We’ll be back soon. This place has a lovely feel to it.

Excellent from start to finish. Staff are extremely helpful and friendly and their attention to detail is faultless - especially when it comes to allergies. Special mention to Kirstie for looking after us so well.

Amazing service and outstanding meal. Ross was a fantastic waiter and we genuinely had the best dining experience. He went over and above to make our evening memorable. It’s the type of restaurant you never want to leave.

Had a great lunch today, outstanding food and service

We visited the restaurant for a milestone birthday celebration. Table of 6 adults at 7pm on a Saturday evening. We were greeted at the door and initially shown to a table in the main part of the restaurant, as we proceeded to sit down we...

Came with my partner on 6th Jan. Loved the warm cosy decor, food was excellent especially the chicken and haggis, service exceptional partner had sea bass with coconut rice and masala sauce ( sauce wasn't to his taste but but he doesn't normally eat masala...

Absolutely exquisite food and service and ambience. Ross the server was superb - friendly and responsive and engaging. A wonderful evening of excellent food and outstanding service. Will return very soon.

Yesterday's celebration experience at the Buttery was 5✨. From the moment we arrived to the second we left our party was treated to exceptional service. The Vegan options were terrific & we enjoyed our lunch very much! Thanks everyone for giving us a terrific experience!

Great family lunch, we got a room to ourselves. Service was excellent and very helpful. Good lunch menu, nice variety.

Birthday meal here with family service and food amazing highly recommend

I always visit here when I am in town visiting friends. The food is exquisite and the service is outstanding. I had the three course meal for L37.80 or so. The Cullen skink is fresh and not too creamy, the best! The sea bream was...

Old school amazing food and service.cheescake with stewed apple was delicious and the halibut main was class.

We were back again for a special family meal. We had a lovely time, good food, good service. Recommended!

Had a good Christmas dinner meal here, food, atmosphere, staff all were great, the set festive menus and main menus were great, lots of variety and everything cooked to perfection. We also had the dessert tasting board which was our highlight and highly recommend it if you're going with a few friends or a partner.

Old style. Fine dining. Brilliant service. Quite expensive. But, first rate food and service. Better than most places in Town.

Top class. Really, really special. Great customer care, cooking and value.

Our work had our Christmas lunch here last week. Perfect size portions and delicious food. The restaurant was busy with a festive vibe. The staff were pleasant and attentive.

A well balanced place. A great place for a traditional yet classy outing.

Regular venue for get together. Why? Because it is one if not the finest in Glasgow.

Excellent food, service and ambience.

Really excellent restaurant and the lunch set menu is a good deal. The gin and tonic was really good too!

The food was really excellent and the service was fantastic. We look forward to returning when we are next back in Glasgow.

Had a graduation dinner here. Food was great throughout. We were given extra time because the ceremony made us running late for our booking. Staff thoughtfully arranged brighter lights and a cockeral ornament on the table! Highly recommend! And thank you all for the lovely evening!

My new favourite restaurant, couldn’t fault it. Really looking forward to my next visit.

Recommend Scotland beef and scallops. service is quite good. Nice place to visit with friends.

The menu at The Buttery showcases the finest in Scottish cuisine, with dishes that incorporate locally sourced ingredients and bold flavours. From succulent Aberdeen Angus beef to delicate West Coast seafood, each plate is carefully crafted to delight the senses. Our starters were Beetroot and Fig - salt baked beetroot, roast fig, grilled courgette and marinated feta, roast walnut and honey dressing (£9.00) AND Scottish Smoked Salmon & Sea Trout with coriander and sorrel salad, dill and caper dressing (£12.00). The combination of beetroot, roasted fig, walnuts and honey get me every time; its a flavour combination I just can’t say no too. The marinated feta came covered in a candied honey shell that really complemented the warm chalkiness of the feta. I thought the dish could do with more beetroot, it should be the star of the show! The Salmon and Sea Trout were beautifully presented as a rose garden. The salmon and sea trout are wrapped together to create the roses which although look lovely, the individual fish looses its own flavour. A lovely dish, nonetheless. Mains consists of Highland Venison (£30.00) Saddle of wild highland venison, sautéed savoy cabbage and black pudding, roast root vegetable gratin, gin flavoured raspberry jus AND West Coast Halibut (£32.00) Pan fried halibut, seared scallop, warm samphire, broad bean and courgette salad, parmentier potatoes, rose harissa hollandaise sauce. The dish of Highland Venison showcased tender cuts of Scottish venison, sat in a pool of juniper berries and raspberry jus and perfectly seared to achieve a succulent and flavoursome masterpiece. I cannot recommend this dish highly enough. The Halibut was tasty although only seared on one side with the fish tail or narrowest end of the fish fillet tucked underneath. Scallop was tender and the rose harissa did not over power this delicate dish. Desserts were Chocolate Pecan Tart (£9.00) Dark chocolate, maple syrup and pecan tart, vanilla custard, candied ginger ice cream. Sea Salt & Caramel Cheesecake (£10.00) Breton sable biscuit & sea salt caramel cheesecake, apple and pear spiced compote, calvados soaked golden raisins. The desserts read wonderful on the menu and presentation is gorgeous, unfortunately the tart filling had split and the cheesecake base was almost as thick at the cheesecake filling and lacked the buttery crispness or snap of a biscuit base. The taste on both desserts were quite decadent, just the execution that was lacking slightly. The Buttery staff are tremendous and I cannot praise them enough for their excellent service and exceptional knowledge. They really to know how to elevate the entire meal to new heights. They not only offer a warm and welcoming atmosphere, but they also possess a deep understanding of the menu, ingredients, and culinary techniques. Their expertise allows them to provide informed recommendations, offer detailed explanations, and accommodate individual dietary preferences with ease. It was a true delight to be in the hands of serving staff that went above and beyond, effortlessly combining their expertise and hospitality to create great dining experience.

One of the best restaurants in Glasgow. This hidden gem is just off the City Centre in the middle of Anderson. It offers great Scottish fayre with attentive staff. On a visit to Glasgow this is a must for Lunch or dinner for the foodie lover

Best meal in Glasgow in a long time food and service was outstanding. Will defiantly be back soon.

Had a great meal here. We had venison and chicken with haggis for mains, both were excellent. The staff were perfect. I would recommend it to anyone for a nice meal. We will definitely be going back!

Nice food and atmosphere. However, my wine was forgotten. Otherwise, it would be perfect.

Been going here with my friends for over 15 years. Great experience every time.

An institution. 150 years old restaurant. Waiting staff, excellent. Menu, good choice , mostly seafood. Quality of presentation and flavour, high. Mother-in-law has been in the restaurant business for fifty years and is very fussy about her fish but absolutely loved her fish main course. Thought there was a little too much potato in the seafood chowder but flavour good. The decor and atmosphere comfortable not stuffy.

Spectacular little Scottish restaurant near city center in Glasgow! My wife, daughter and I ate our first meal here on our last trip to Scotland and will definitely be back next time we're in town. Drinks and service were fabulous too!

Amazing Scottish fine dining restaurant with an interesting menu

Perfect from start to finish. Great to see a well organised, well staffed venue. Food was amazing, service was perfect and staff were genuinely lovely. The other touches that complete the ambiance like the lovely old crockery, cutlery and glassware. We will definitely be back and have already been recommending to friends and family already.

We have just enjoyed a marvellous meal here. The food was excellent - venison cooked to perfection and ready to melt in the mouth. Wonderfully attentive staff and a most comfortable and interesting ambience. We would definitely return whenever next in Glasgow. Well done!

A lovely old fashioned restaurant and the food and service are second to none.

Had lunch with two pals. Food was as suspected, wonderful. Service was spot on. Ambience lovely. It’s a pleasure to be savoured. Well done all. Enough said.
