Lovely food and atmosphere, so delicate dishes. I had the veggie option which was gnocchi and blue cheese with lots of mushrooms very nice. The toffee pudding was yummy. It is quiet so you can follow conversations. Staff very friendly.

Pho Glasgow is a healthy Vietnamese restaurant with loads of vegan and gluten free options.

We specialise in phở, the Vietnamese noodle soup and also serve delicious curries, rice dishes, wok-fried noodles, and fresh salads too. Our starters such as summer rolls and spring rolls are perfect for sharing with friends and family. We also offer an entirely gluten free dessert menu with dishes like Pandan waffles, condensed milk ice cream and a Vietnamese affogato.

Over a third of our menu is vegan, and nearly all of it is gluten-free, so we are a great destination for people who follow those particular dietary restrictions. We are also accredited by Coeliac UK.

Aside from our lovely food we offer a brilliant range of healthy juices, as well as delicious wine and beer, and a fantastic cocktail menu too.

We look forward to welcoming you!

Wonderful dinner, tempura soft shell crab was tasty, but didn’t need so much sauce, overwhelmed the crab a bit. Steak cooked to almost perfection, maybe a little more medium than medium rare, and béarnaise a little claggy and could have had more tarragon. But really a good meal over all. The strawberry cheesecake was gorgeous, soft and melt in the mouth. However the service from Fraser was outstanding and memorable. Helped me take my wine outside afterwards, lovely evening. Would recommend and go back!
