About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Charming
At KELP we take our time to make sure the food that goes on your plate is a fresh and local as possible. We source our seafood to be specifically Scottish and sustainable. We pride ourselves on using local suppliers for all our food. The fish people supply our fresh seafood daily. Our bread comes from Soja bakehouse, a family owned bakery in Cumbernauld. Our meat comes from ABR butchers, based in Bearsden.
Our executive chef, Christopher Hutchison, creates amazing, innovative dishes to be enjoyed and shared with friends and loved ones. We now have an AA rosette for 2023/2024 to highlight his and the teams amazing work. We are located on Cowcaddens Road, just around the corner from our sister restaurant, Ardnamurchan Restaurant and Bar and a stones throw from the theatre royal. Perfect for a meal before a show. Relax in our modern, airy restaurant and watch the chefs work in the open kitchen. Our signature dish is our crab doughnut, you'll be amazed!

    We had a fantastic evening and really enjoying the wonderful variety the menu had to offer. The dishes we had were full of wonderful flavours and cooked to perfection. The Oysters were a particular hit. Everyone in the restaurant seems to be enjoying their meals and the overall experience!

    Fantastic. This was my second visit to Kelp and had recommended it to other friends who hadn’t been. They were also impressed with the food and service. Would recommend to anyone. In fact my friend has given her daughter and son-in-law a voucher to use there. The food is outstanding and one of my friends is a French cordon bleu trained chef and was impressed with the menu and way everything was cooked and presented. Praise indeed. Will return in the future. Well done.
