Overview
The Cedarwood Bistro at 43 Newfield Place in Rutherglen – because when somewhere calls themselves "Rutherglen's newest dining experience" and has a fantastic 4.6-star rating from 94 reviews, you know they're not messing around with either their newness OR their quality. With "UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT AS OF 1ST AUGUST 2025" boldly displayed on their website, they're clearly excited about their fresh start and ready to impress. Here's what makes The Cedarwood Bistro special: it's a 36-seat restaurant that's open 7 days a week, serving breakfast (8am-11:30am with Full Scottish, pancakes, and French toast), lunch & dinner (Mon-Thu until 6pm, Fri-Sun until 8pm with "stacked burgers, hearty pasta, loaded fries & more"), plus they've got that "famous Sunday Roast" that apparently requires bookings because it's that popular. They're doing "Great food served in a modern stylish setting" with an extensive menu, plus a "licensed bar hosting a great selection of drinks and cocktails." They offer takeaway (collection only) and the kitchen closes one hour before the restaurant closes. Located at 43 Newfield Place in Rutherglen, The Cedarwood Bistro is "Rutherglen's newest dining experience" and they're clearly doing it right. With a cozy 36-seat capacity, they're perfect for private functions (they'll even close the whole restaurant for your special celebration), and they offer table service where bookings of more than 8 require a pre-order. Call 01412867700 to book. They've got the new management energy, nearly perfect ratings, and that "why choose anywhere else" confidence.

Read on Google MapsJust getting round to writing a review. We were here a few weeks ago. We were at airpark adventure and googled places to eat. This place came up with great reviews. On arrival we were a bit unsure but once you walk through the doors you are very warmly welcomed. The staff were so friendly. The food did not disappoint. My hubby ordered steak and gravy loaded fries which were amazing, cajun pasta also lovely, fish and chips fab, and kids nuggets always a winner! The portions were big. We will definitely be back. If you're looking for some fab homemade cooking give this place a try!
Read on Google MapsHope the chef sees this because those Cajun Honey chips with stew and gravy were… not even joking, the best thing I’ve ever tasted. Ordered from Uber and managed to get an amazing deal for £16. Full pizza, 2 pastas and chips with stew gravy which is amazing value especially after I tasted it. The pizza has amazing dough that goes crispy and crunchy the way I like it, the toppings especially the pepperoni were really nice and the pizza was a good size. The pasta has big chunky bits of chicken and the sauce was amazing. The chips were actually out of this world. Kept saying Wow while I was eating them haha. Well worth every penny and those chips will be getting ordered quicker than the chef can make them. Spot on 👌🏻
Read on Google MapsWe booked this for a 70th birthday and honestly had a great wee night. All 14 of us thought the food was excellent and the staff were absolutely amazing. They really were so nice and went out their way to make sure all our needs were catered for. Thank you so much for welcoming us to your bistro and we hope to see you soon as we will 100% be back 😍
