Sylvan

Although I asked to know what the menu would be in advance as I was going to have very limited time to have lunch during a dance workshop (and I have a vegan gluten-free diet), I was told by Colin via email that he couldn’t tell me what they would be making… I went to sylvan today only to discover that they had the one dish that I really had wanted which was polenta and mushroom (both vegan and gluten-free!). It was absolutely delicious! I took the coconut rice pudding with cherries and red wine to take out and that was also incredible. The staff were really responsive when I told them I only had a short time to eat because I then needed to return to my workshop. I was able to enjoy my meal and leave within 40 minutes. Absolutely perfect! Very happy and would highly recommend. (5 stars to the team working in the restaurant, minus star for Colin communication).

It's one of the best culinary experiences I've had in recent times and certainly the best *new* place I've visited. Everything from service, to food, to drinks options, to atmosphere, to prices was great. We arrived early at the off-chance we may me seated prior to our reservation (we'd had a long day and were tired of walking around for hours), they were able to accommodate for which we are grateful. The food was absolutely fantastic - there's a reason people keep mentioning the smoked tomatoes in yoghurt, but also the polenta with mushrooms (even our designated non-mushroom-eating person in the group enjoyed them), the chickpeas... The food is clearly freshly made and with raw ingredients (no UPF, no store-bought sauces). They had a very good selection of wines by the glass, we got a Gruner and a Riesling, both were properly chilled and served (kudos on the glasses). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, at the end we paid about 117 (including the tip) for a party of 4 hungry people, 2 glasses of wine and 2 non-alc drinks. I would travel to Glasgow just to eat there again.

A perfect time at the Sylvan restaurant for my birthday 🎂 Good beers and wine ! The food is excellent and generous. The place is very nice too ! 🥰

Incredible food and drinks! Would recommended going as a group so you can try as many dishes as possible. We had most dishes on the menu - the smoked tomatoes with yogurt, marinated aubergine, and little gem with goats cheese were particularly delicious. Service and atmosphere were great too. Definitely one to visit if you’re in Glasgow!

Recently became veggie, so had to try this place. Super chill vibes and the veggie dishes I had were a-ma-zing, so filling and flavourful. My non-veggie bf loved it too. Staff were super nice. Highly recommend the beansprouts with chili and garlic 😘👌
