Firebird

Glasgow


A combined bar and bistro with a cheery feel, Firebird has zany artwork on its bright walls and, more importantly, quality nosh whisked under the noses of its patrons. Local flavours and Mediterranean highlights (mainly North African, Italian and Spanish) are evident and organic produce is used wherever possible. Taste sensations range from wood-fired pizzas to Moroccan-influenced salads.
