Ubiquitous Chip

A West End stalwart for four decades, the Ubiquitous Chip is one of Glasgow's most famous eateries. Set at the end of a cobbled mews; the main dining area opens into a beautiful, vine-covered courtyard, at mezzanine level is a new dining space for private dining, while upstairs is the brasserie-style, two-AA Rosette restaurant. There are three drinking areas: the traditional pub, serving real ales, nearly 30 wines by the glass, more than 150 malt whiskies; the Wee Bar, which is indeed quite 'wee', possibly the wee-est in Scotland; and the Corner Bar, which serves cocktails across a granite slab reclaimed from a mortuary. The kitchen showcases the very best of Scotland's produce on the menu in the shape of marinated haunch and loin of Galloway venison, potato and onion rosti cake with rhubarb, red cabbage, green peppercorn and Drambuie sauce; Troon landed halibut fillet with herb and pine nut crust, braised fennel, red wine and Belgian chocolate sauce; Perthshire wood pigeon wrapped in bacon, pearl barley risotto, wild mushroom sauce and rich game sauce.
