Brunch Spots in Glasgow: Indulge in Merchant City's Best Cafés

Image

Going for brunch at the weekend after a busy week is one of my favourite activities, especially in Glasgow. Merchant City is definitely the place to go, full of cafés offering some of the best brunch plates I've ever had!


I’ve made a wee list of some amazing cafés you can visit if you haven't already.

For those that like to be organised, all of the cafés listed allow you to pre-book a table online, saving you the hassle of walking around and trying to find a free table.

Dog owners will be happy to know that all the cafés are also pet-friendly. So, bring along your furry friends to keep you company!

Wilson Street Pantry


No matter what time or day of the week it is, Wilson Street Pantry is always busy because it's just that good!

If you enjoy sweet things for brunch, I can guarantee that the French toast will be some of the best you’ll ever have!

Although I’m no coffee expert, Wilson Street do an amazing flat white.

Located along from Wilson Street pantry is the Glasgow Mural Trail’s ‘Bow Down, Honour the Roots’ mural. So why not take a wander around the city centre after enjoying brunch and discover the remaining murals?

Brunch dish recommendation: French Toast with Berry Compote and Vanilla Mascarpone

Single-End


Single-End are amazing at creating seasonal dishes, with their pumpkin spiced French toast being the latest addition to their Autumn specials menu.

On arrival, you’ll be greeted by a display case of cakes, biscuits and pastries – I would recommend taking one home to enjoy with a cup of tea on the sofa.

The menu features everything from scrambled eggs on sourdough to porridge with your choice of toppings.

The walls inside are decorated with artefacts from Glasgow and the glass tables feature photos from previous customers, making a lovely addition to the café.

Brunch dish recommendation: Meaty Breakfast (poached eggs, lorne sausage, black pudding, tattie scone, grilled tomatoes & baked beans)

Sorriso Café 


I discovered Sorisso Café when I was unable to get a table at Wilson Street Pantry. I wish I’d been in sooner!

The dishes at Sorriso are beautifully presented (perfect for Instagram) and bursting with flavour.

If you’re looking for an indulgent dish, make sure to try the Sorriso platter which features French toast and a scone with whipped cream, berries and a poached pear.

For those with less of a sweet tooth, Sorriso offers some great egg and sourdough dishes with a variety of toppings including smoked salmon and guacamole.

Brunch dish recommendation: Salsiccia Eggs (poached eggs, salsiccia sausage & red peppers on a toasted muffin with tomato & chilli jam)

If you ever find yourself with a free morning, make sure to pop in to one of these fab cafés in Merchant City that cater for both sweet and savoury brunch lovers.

The Grosvenor Picture Theatre Glasgow: Step Back in Time through Film

Calling all film lovers! I’ve found a hidden gem in Glasgow’s West end for you to enjoy your next solo cinema date! Located in Ashton Lane, The Grosvenor Picture Theatre offers a unique experience for film fanatics. As Glasgow’s oldest cinema, The Grosvenor transports you back in time with its dimly lit cinema rooms featuring burgundy leather seats and art deco side lamps. Compared to cinemas like Cineworld or VUE, The Grosvenor certainly wins the competition for best cinema experience. I first discovered The Grosvenor last Summer when strolling down Ashton Lane. With my exams complete and a free day in my calendar, I decided to head in to watch Josh O’Connor’s Italian film, La Chimera . Set in 1980’s Tuscany, La Chimera follows English archaeologist, Arthur (Josh O’Connor), and his crew of grave robbers as they loot Etruscan tombs. Whilst exploring themes of love, history and class, the overall aesthetics and visuals of the film were truly stunning, with an eclectic mix of character...

The University of Glasgow's campus: Explore Stunning Gothic Architecture

Now that the leaves are changing from the greens and yellows of Summer, to the burnt oranges and browns of Autumn, why not explore the stunning gothic architecture of Glasgow University's Campus on a crisp Autumn day?  The architecture of the old university buildings certainly gives off a Harry Potter vibe, with its spires and cloisters. However, you’ll be surprised to know that Harry Potter was never actually filmed in any of the campus locations! During the Christmas period, the cloisters within the building are wrapped with fairy lights, creating the most magical setting, especially at night time. Take a look at the Instagram-worthy cloisters:  Christmas Cloisters The University offers campus tours led by students, lasting between 1 and 2 hours. However, if you’re like me and enjoy exploring places at your own pace, you can embark on a self-guided tour following the campus map. Take a look at the University's website for more information:  Campus Tours .  I find t...
