Mono

You'll find this brilliant triple-threat tucked away in King's Court, where the smell of proper vegan cooking mingles with the crackle of vinyl and the hum of conversation. The menu here isn't trying to fool anyone into thinking jackfruit is pulled pork – instead, they're doing genuinely exciting plant-based dishes that carnivores actually queue for. The mac 'n' cheese is absurdly good, and their weekend brunches are worth the inevitable wait. What makes Mono special isn't just the food, though. You can browse through crates of records while waiting for your table, catch intimate gigs in the back room, or just settle in with a pint and watch the Merchant City crowd drift past the windows. It's the kind of place that feels authentically Glasgow – unpretentious, creative, and doing its own thing brilliantly.
