The Left Bank

A welcome addition to the burgeoning Glasgow foodie-scene and set on a bustling residential road in the West End, there's an informal and vibrant vibe in this coolly modern restaurant, but there are quiet corners too. It's split level, with some exposed brick walls, lots of wood and glass, muted and natural colours with occasional highlights like designer wallpaper, murals by local artists and a unique concrete bar by sculptor Chris Bannerman. The food is funky too; the diverse menu takes you round the world and back again. Asian influences are noted with very good execution - no frills presentation lets the food do the talking - think sticky pork belly with ginger, tamarind and port, cashews and prunes, or garlic masala fried fish on a Goan seafood curry.
