Fallachan Kitchen

Like many others I had the pleasure of dining here, we had the evening meal and I had the drinks and wine pairing… from start to finish the experience was amazing and worth every penny spent. The menu was fantastic and every dish and drink served was simply exquisite. The ingredients were fresh and the effort that went into creating each dish made all the dishes taste fantastic. The portions sizes are deceivingly filling, as a fine dining experience please do not think you are going to have overflowing plates you are here to experience the food. The service was beyond amazing, the time taken out by the staff and the chef to make sure we had a great time was a class touch, if I could give more than 5stars I would. How this place doesn’t have Michelin or Rosette recognition is a mystery to me… if you get the chance visit at your earliest opportunity.

Some of the dishes were bang on the money but then some were confusing to say the least, the tomato starter was quite oily, the East Neuk beetroot just had an over powering taste of Beetroot The Blue Finn tuna belly was completely over powered by the cucumber jus. Overall it had more great courses than not and would have given a better review but felt a bit of up selling went on what is basically a £400 menu with the wine tasting. Most disappointing was the cheese dish which was £30 for the two of us and I think I have had bigger tasting samples at Costco very disappointing as you can see in the pictures. Staff were pleasant and knowledgeable and the concept is great and we meet some lovely like minded people at the table just no need to try and up sale.

Been working my way through the Michelin guide for Glasgow so had to book here being recently added and can see why - outstanding food, concept & staff. Was unsure how I'd feel dining at one large table with others, however as the night went on this eased and you realise you're dining with other's who have a real passion for good food which adds to the enjoyment. I'm not a huge fan of seafood, and the winter menu we got was heavy on seafood, however the way the chefs infused flavours totally changed my perception of seafood. I'd be writing an essay if I had to go through each dish but the best for me was dessert - the Crown Prince Pumpkin was unbelievable. I've no idea how pumpkin was created into a sorbet which tasted like apricot, but it was simply stunning. Glasgow restaurant scene is so good and there's a raft of small plate/tasting menu places, however Fallachan has nailed being different doing this on a large shared chefs table with an open kitchen, really sets them apart for a different experience. I look forward to booking again to see what a summer or autumn menu is like.

So first of all the food is some of the best I've ever eaten. So much going on, it was mind blowing. The flavour and presentation was flawless. The service was exceptional. Loved the short conversation with chef before service. The waiting staff talked enthusiastically and you were kept well informed all the time. Cocktails were spot on with flavours we hadn't tried before. They were very much part of the experience. This is often overlooked in fine dining restaurants. The communal table was, in our experience, not ideal. We were sat between two rather odd couples. They didn't really make an effort with the vibe of what is expected in that setting. A gentleman sat beside me, who was smoking at least between every course, would come back to the table and blow his last mouthful of smoke across towards me. I really have no idea what he thought he was playing at. With a north American accent he constantly spoke quite loudly how Edinburgh would be better than Glasgow!!! We left before the petit fours and boxed out cheese up. I hope to return one day but with friends so we don't have that situation again.

The food and cocktails were so delicious! Brilliant seeing the chefs cook and them explaining each dish. Really relaxed and cosy atmosphere. Loved it
