Brilliant dining experience. The steak cooked to medium rare is exceptional as well as the venison shin. We usually do not order dessert but the cheese cake and apricot are simply well worth trying. The menu is not large which is good and there is a fantastic atmosphere and tentative staff. I would recommend a visit when in Glasgow.

A family lunch presented a welcome opportunity to visit Bothy. It is held in high regard for its Scottish cuisine and somewhat decadent interior. A niche I very much enjoy. Firstly the venue is nicely curated with lots of wood, mood lighting, tartans and curious artefacts. It’s upmarket but not in a stifling way. With a large group we were able to take a fairly large sweep of the menu. From risotto, lamb, fish and chicken everything was beautifully cooked and presented. Sides of triple cooked chips and broccoli with sriracha were not just an afterthought and tasted fantastic. Maybe not the heartiest of portions but the quality was there with aplomb. Top marks. My only bug bear would be the service. It’s a personal dislike to have numerous different waiting staff. Understandable at times when it’s very busy but on a fairly steady afternoon service it felt less personal to have numerous unnamed staff helping throughout the meal. But I’m also sure others would be less perturbed. All in all Bothy offers top class cooking at a moderate price level in comfortable surroundings. If I was to return it would be an evening service and maybe kept to a special occasion but with happy patrons on this visit it’s doing the important things right.

Spectacular experience. They were so enthusiastic about switching over to a brand new menu I felt bad for asking for a dish from essentially the day before. They were happy to accommodate though, and were overall just amazing, from great martinis to awesome wine pairing suggestions. The food was not just delicious but obviously carefully prepared. Definitely one of the great Glasgow restaurants.

When we went to the Bothy, it was quiet as it was midafternoon none the less the staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. The interior is eclectic with a mix of tables and chairs and very well kept. The toilets were very clean and nicely decorated (sorry, I have a thing about toilets, there's no point being a lovely restaurant and the toilets discusseding). The food we had was wonderful, well presented and hot. The next time we visit, we'll try and make it for the evening.

Beautiful space we were in the private dining room it is a lovely set up space for large gatherings with one big table . The food was good,service was a bit stretched maybe needed more staff to cover us all . All in all it was a really nice time.

Only passing through for one night it was important that we found the perfect restaurant serving a range of traditional dishes and The Bothy exceeded our expectations. A good variety of wines all reasonably priced without excessive corkage fees, all the staff are really friendly and the food was outstanding whilst still being reasonably priced. We will definitely return if in the area again and would highly recommend, thanks for a great evening.
