Overview

Ox and Finch is Jonathan MacDonald’s Finnieston sharing-plate restaurant at 920 Sauchiehall Street, opened May 2014 on the old Konaki site. It’s the first of the Scoop Restaurants group (Ka Pao, Margo, Sebb’s) and still the template: Mediterranean-leaning small plates, seasonal menus that change every couple of weeks, and a relaxed room that works for date night or a pre-gig bite. Michelin has given it a Bib Gourmand for over a decade — still listed for Glasgow in the current Guide. Dishes typically sit in the mid-teens or less (with larger steaks higher); recent plates have included burrata with romesco, salt-baked beetroot, barbecued courgettes, and dry-aged sirloin. Vegetarian and vegan options are solid. Book ahead for evenings; walk-ins welcome. Open daily from noon with last arrivals at 10pm. Outdoor tables year-round (food to 8.30pm) but weather can leave you without an indoor fallback. Groups of six-plus need card details; late cancel risks £25pp. Private dining and set menus for larger parties via hello@oxandfinch.com.

Baked beetroot was quite outstanding. Overall good quality food for what we paid for We ordered two desserts both got bread elements in it so we felt a bit too heavy. Nevertheless it's a good attempt to try to be creative.

We were in on Saturday night, food was beautiful, decor is lovely but the stand out thing for us was your staff, especially Angus, the one who looks like the actor from dexter, we had a laugh with him about this, his knowledge of the menu and his help and advice on our food order was much appreciated, he really is a credit to your wonderful restaurant. We cant wait to return for some great food and fantastic service.

if i could give it more than 5 stars i would! came here to celebrate my partner’s birthday and to say that they made this a really memorable one is a sheer understatement. upon greeting us, they wished him happy birthday, showed us to our table (with a very very lovely handwritten birthday note!!!). dishes were all spectacular. whipped cod roe and crudo where phenomenal. they even made their broccoli and hummus so phenomenal! we had to get additional flat bread to clean the hummus completely. to top it off, the lovely waiter (didn’t get his name) ended our extraordinary night with a happy birthday ice cream on the house. thank you ox and finch! we’ll definitely be back. (now i know why my partner has been here 3 times)

We were in the hop-on-hop-off bus tour of Glasgow when we decided to hop off for lunch. Ox and Finch was right in front of the stop, so we decided this would be an easy place for lunch. There was a wait for inside dining, so we opted to eat outside. Our server was excellent and the food outstanding. It is a small plate venue so we order 4 dishes to share - bread and butter, potato gnocchi, lamb confit, and a burrata and Isle of Wight tomato salad. The food and presentation was indescribable. Everything tasted as delicious as it looked. The potato gnocchi was the best thing I had on this trip and trust me, we had some pretty amazing food.
