Overview

Bo'Vine Meats & Wines is a steakhouse at the top of Byres Road in Glasgow's West End. It opened in April 2010, beneath what was then the Hilton Glasgow Grosvenor. Its steaks are grass-fed prime Scotch beef, dry-aged on the bone for at least 21 days and cut by master butchers. The rest of the menu includes haggis pastilla, cold-smoked salmon, slow-cooked ox cheek and the Bo'Vine burger. The best-value option is the Market Menu, served daily from 5pm to 7pm, from £26 for three courses. Older reviews praise its pre-theatre deals and the fillet; one critic called it one of the best he'd had. One blogger found the decor and service a little formal. The wine list covers wines from around the world. For dinner it opens from 5pm every night, until 8.30pm last seating Sunday to Thursday and 9.30pm on Friday and Saturday. At weekends it also serves lunch and afternoon tea (Saturday and Sunday, 12.30pm–4pm; afternoon tea must be pre-booked). Groups of 8 or more need to pre-book and pay a £10-a-head deposit. Private dining is available, and the sister gin bar beGIN is next door. Children are welcome, with a kids' menu.

Unfortunately we expected more of this venue. Firstly I booked a table online for 9pm. Arrived at 8:45 to be told that the kitchen was closing. Staff didn’t understand how I had a 9pm booking even when shown the confirmation email. We were asked to order quickly due to this. Fillets were cooked to perfection but unfortunately the meat quality wasn’t great and we have had better quality supermarket cuts. Not much flavour and extremely tough/ chewy for medium cooked although colour perfect. Otherwise a nice restaurant. Young girl serving was nice and French martini was lovely.

A lovely afternoon tea in a great setting. The array of sandwiches and cakes was fantastic and they catered for my gluten intolerance. Service was excellent.

🚨 I would I not waste a penny going here, it looks high end and prices are high end, we waited 20 mins to be offered drinks and where about to leave when we finally got served it wasn’t busy, we had soup and chicken liver parfait for starters totally tasteless, then a sirloin steak meal and burger meal, the fries where freezing cold on my burger meal and it wasn’t well done, the sirloin was supposed to be well done and was pink it was the worst cut of meat I’ve ever seen and very over priced it was very pale looking like cheap meat, we bought our child a 12” margarita and when it arrived it was a tiny Chicago town pizza to top it all off my partner couldn’t eat the steak dinner there was a full steak dinner still sitting and when we explained to the manager they only took 10% off and made us still pay for the steak dinner which was disgusting, it looks beautiful and high end from the outside but please don’t be fooled the full meal was not worth the money we paid. We love trying new restaurants a few times a week and we are in total shock about this one as we have been meaning to try it for a while since buying our home in Glasgow we where expecting high end especially with the prices on the menu. I wouldn’t waste your money. This is more like something from a brewers fayre restaurant terrible quality of food.

I booked Bo Vine for my sons 30th Birthday (27/09/25) as he had been before and really enjoyed it. We had 14 in our party. To say I/we were disappointed is an understatement. We waited an hour and a half for our food to arrive, most of them did but 3 of our party waited an additional 20mins for theirs and 2 off them were cold!. Not once did they clear the table of glasses or plates until we asked the staff to. One of the staff held a tray with 2 full jugs of water over my baby granddaughters head and when I asked him to move it, his response was its OK. Dont worry!!. The younger ones then waited over half an hour for their desserts, despite asking staff twice for them and being told they are on their way. The ladies toilets were a disgrace. Not clean at all... I raised all my concerns with the manager, who did apologise and offered me a reduction on the bill, which I accepted. But on looking at the bill properly this morning. The reduction was not actually as they offered. I have given a 1 star forbthe atmosphere as what ever nusic they were playing kept jumping snd changing mid way through songs. A 3 star for the food as most of it was delicious, but I am sorry to say that I(nor my family) will return to Bo Vine or recommend it to others.
