Number 16

Glasgow


Run with warmth, this cosy narrow space near the bottom of Byres Rd is a pleasing spot for a short menu of quality Scottish cuisine based around excellent ingredients. Innovative flavour pairings add interest but never feel pretentious and some dishes really hit heights. Wines by the glass aren't a strong point.
