Bothy Restaurant

I’ve been to the Bothy for lunch a few times, and have always been impressed with the quality of food served.
Situated just off Byres Road in Ruthven lane (where half the restaurants seem to hide), Bothy is quite a big restaurant with a lot of open space. there’s also a private dining room upstairs which can be rented out.
The food served is traditional Scottish/​British. With the dishes, they don’t tend to be too complicated in terms of the number of flavours on the plate, which is good as the quality is what really shines through. I quite like having fish here, as it’s always cooked to perfection and brilliant quality. At lunchtimes all week, there’s a set menu on with 2 courses at £12.95 and 3 courses at £14.95, great value for the quality of food on offer.
The service here is always really warm and friendly, my friend says it’s a bit too friendly, so some people may find it overbearing, but that’s personal preference. It can be a touch on the slow side at times, so I’d reccomend not coming here for a quick lunch.

I’d never been doesn’t this inconspicuous lane off byres road before
I think I may walk around with my eyes closed
So I look at the map in my phone and thing really… Down there … Ok must be let’s look… Walking down it opens up to a delightful lane, I see the Hanoi bike shop and think oh that’s where that is, I want to go there too… But I carry on and my sister spots the Bothy before me (I’m still looking at the Hanoi place)
We go in proper soaked from the downpour with my niece and nephew in tow
We are seated immediately by a chap in a kilt and the 3 of them lot take over the sofa at the table while I’m sat on the wooden chairs … Yeah cheers
Menu is a great price for lunch especially at how
Lovely the setting is inside
Order the meals and we are asked if we want the kids meals out as soon as they are ready, this was a nice touch as it happens we did … Just to shut them up sooner than later, however this wasn’t to happen, our starters arrived, still no kids food, finished starter still no kids food, mains

Nach allem was ich so die britische Kücke gehört habe (und auch schon erlebt habe), waren meine Erwartungen gering. Was für eine Überraschung! Kein Fish&Chips, kein Haggis, sondern wirklich fein angerichtete und schmackhaft zubereitete Speisen.
Ich hatte eine Leberpastete als Vorspeise. Als Hauptspeise Hühnerbrust mit einer Pfeffersauce und einer Art Kartoffelpüree. Dazu auf den Punkt gegartes Gemüse.
Das Lokal ist nett, wohnzimmerhaft eingerichtet aber trotzdem sehr modern. Die Weine, naja, ok. Die single Malts als Nachtisch, sehr gut.
