Red Onion

Great food, lovely atmosphere on a wet and miserable evening and great service...what more do you need to set the night off before an evening at the theatre

You are always guaranteed a good meal at the Red Onion. The atmosphere and the service were good too. I have been several times now and it is consistently good.

Waiting staff were lovely, really nice atmosphere - open fire and cosy booths as well. Food was delicious, especially the blade of beef and duck main !

The food was simply delicious, the service was excellent but not intrusive and we found the restaurant to be smart, clean and relaxing. Lunch menu was varied and affordable - all in all a lovely afternoon.

Good food great friendly staff and great atmosphere. My friend order steak and it was cooked to perfection, I ordered a blade of beef and it was very tender.

Second visit not a patch on the first had the same starter and main course bang bang chicken looked as though it had been thrown together and the pork myself and my wife had was tough as old boots. Not impressed.

The service was great and the food was delicious. The restaurant was spotlessly clean with an excellent friendly atmosphere. Looking forward to my next visit.

First class service and first class food. Nice surroundings especially the open fire which made the restaurant feel welcoming. Very handy to shopping area generally.

Excellent 2 course lunch. Highly recommended. We both had Bang Bang Chicken Starter then Fish & Chips and Chicken & Mushroom Risotto. Service friendly & efficient.

Had a lovely lunch here with friends. The service was really good and they were very accommodating of the baby with us. Will defiantly be back.

Very helpful staff, however the food didn't quite match our expectations. The vegan of the party enjoyed her meal whilst the rest of us had a very small steak frite portion which was really quite chewy, we've had better from a far cheaper bar down the road. We had opted for 2 courses and were tempted by a dessert but instead of this coming from the same menu it came from the full menu which we weren't aware of until we got the bill! Suppose that's how they make their money.

Good food in pleasant surroundings and service from very attentive staff what more could you ask for. It was particularly good for vegans with a range of choices not just a grudging take it or leave it plate of vegetables.

Made to feel welcome when we arrived as a party of six. Arrived slightly earlier than booking time but was not a problem as table was ready. Waitress was very welcoming and took out jackets and gave us time to choose wine and then took food order. Service was very good and all dishes served from starters, mains and deserts were really good and certainly value for money.

Excellent food - very attentive staff - it was a birthday meal which was made so much more by the wonderful experience - thank you

Excellent food and service. Menu delightfully Scottish. Chef visit to the table a very nice touch. Have been a few times and can highly recommend.

Great friendly and attentive service. The location is easy to find and accessible from either the main bus station or either of the two main train stations. The food was delicious!! :)

The food is delicious as always and their always able and happy to help with our dietary requirements! I thoroughly recommend!! The food is also incredibly well priced!

Lovely pre theatre meal as always. Very good french onion soup, with the bread and cheese crouton and even had a hello from chef John Quigley, perfect.

The food was superb, as always, and the staff this evening were very attentive and on the ball. A lovely experience. We will be back soon.

Very nice restaurant, good food but menu needs to be revamped. The last time I was there was quite a while ago but the menu still seems the same. Would go back.

good service,nice place but the food was very average,iwill not be rushing back and I do not think I would recommend the lunch which my wife and I had,the evening meals may be better

The staff are very friendly and make you feel welcome. The restaurant is cosy. It's not a vast menu but the food is well cooked and tasty.

It's some time since we have dined at the Red Onion due to our last experience there. On our last visit my husband and I had not been that impressed with the food or the standard of service. We decided to give it one last go to see if things had improved. We where both pleasantly surprised, we got a warm friendly welcome from staff. Given plenty of time to have a look at both the wine list and menus. When the food arrived it was of a good standard and flavorsome. I had the veg soup of the day which was good, my steak mains was very tender cook to my liking and peppercorn sauce added to the flavor of the steak. My husband had bang bang chicken salad and for his main he had the pork meatballs and spaghetti . Our overall experience on our recent visit was relaxed and friendly and we had a good experience.

I LOVE red onion it's my fav place to eat in Glasgow and the lady's that lunch menu is fantastic and such value for money 10 out of 10 for me x

We visited Red Onion, wanting a nice meal a quiet table - no intrusive background music - so we could hear each other talk, as we were having an informal meeting of our work team. It ticked all those boxes, even though it was quite busy, being a Thursday evening. One of the party is Vegan, and she was very pleased with the choices on that menu. Another received good advice on how to order the steak and it was cooked just the way she wanted it. The fishcake was very filling with lots of fish and not over-potatoey. My wild mushroom risotto was very tasty and just the right amount. The puddings were great. We went for the fruit crumble, banana fritters and I can vouch for the ice-cream with salted caramel sauce which was more than moreish. The bottle of Prosecco was favourably priced compared to other restaurants and bars. Waitress was helpful without being overly-attentive (meaning not constantly checking if we were enjoying the food, etc, which can be irritating) Altogether a very pleasant evening in terms of food, ambience and the two-course pre-theatre menu is great value for money. We'll be back !

A great meal and great service. Will be going back soon to enjoy some more of the menu and very much looking forward to it.

Always a treat eating at the Red Onion. I am gluten free and so having my own stylised menu helps me to enjoy eating out knowing that the chef has carefully prepared the food to suit my dietry requirements. Have read that the chef can also cater for many dietry requirements ie lactose intolerant, vegan etc Staff very welcoming and friendly. A lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Food was delicious and so fresh. 10/10 every time.

Food was amazing and all ages of the party from 5yrs to 68yrs wete catered for defo a place to go if ur in glasgow

All the food we had was really tasty, and it was good that they also have a vegan set menu as one of my friends is vegan, so everyone could enjoy a nice meal :)

The service was good, and the food was excellent. Good prices, especially for the pre-theatre menu, with a good variety of dishes. It also offers vegetarian options for some meat dishes, apart from standard vegetarian dishes.

Great value food that tastes amazing! Brilliant open atmosphere with friendly and helpful waiting staff. One if the very few restaurants that I have ever seen the head chef take a wonder round the tables speaking to diners, was refreshing to see. Will be booking a table here again in no time!

A frequent visitor to the Red Onion we were a bit disappointed on this occasion. It may have been that in choosing the pre theatre deal we did not allow ourselves the choices provided on the la carte. As we have always had lovely food there I would go back and try again. The food generally is great, staff attentive and friendly and there is a nice ambience. Better luck next time I say!

Speedy and very friendly service. Food delicious as always. Great wee lunch menu. Perfect choice for lunch in Glasgow. Will be back again very soon.

Very good food and attentive service. Excellent value for money for Sunday lunch or pre theatre. Would definitely go back again although this wasn't my first visit as it's always excellent.

We went for the pre-theatre menu -food was very good as was the service, quick but not rushed and the staff were polite and friendly.

This was our first time here and so came with an open mind. Very impressed. Menu varied and something for everyone. Friendly staff and pleasant surroundings. Nice decor. Would return and recommend.

Friendly staff, great food, super value for money and they didn't bat an eye when friends brought in a huge balloon unicorn as a wind up for the person who's birthday we were celebrating!

Excellent food and great service. Would certainly return and would definately recommend this restaurant to anyone that's looking for good food in a pleasant environment.

Lovely meal served by friendly efficient staff. I had the pre-theatre and my husband went a la carte. Not cheap but good value for money and just a really good atmosphere in the place. We've been before and will certainly go back.

My husband, mum and I had a very enjoyable experience at the Red Onion. Great atmosphere and the food was superb. I will definitely be visiting again in the year future.

Very nice restaurant, always very good for and service. Very much a favourite in Glasgow! They even have a couple of vegetarian options on the 2-3 course set meals. Very good indeed!

Lovely place, good food. Everyone enjoyed it Only thing is the vegan menu is somehow more expensive than the Omni menu for some reason? Good overall.

Had a lovely meal, food was delicious. Lots of choices for gluten free diners. Cosy, relaxed atmosphere and front out of house were attentive and friendly. Would definitely return.

Reasonable price for a pre theatre meal,we opted for steak at a two pound supplement, it was small but delicious This was our third visit and we would return again.

Lovely food and good service. Pre theatre menu is excellent value for money. Would highly recommend as we've never been disappointed with our meal here.

Fresh tasty delicious scottish food. Very reasonably priced with lots of choice. First class service and great atmosphere. I love it here and will return.

The perfect pre theatre dinner. Fantastic meal and wonderful service. I would thoroughly recommend the Ref Onion in Glasgow. Great location for all things central Glasgow

Staff were very helpful the meal was absolutely delicious were' looking forward to going back really enjoyed my evening and would recommend it to our friends

Excellent service and the food was delicious, I will definitely recommend Red Onion and I will be a return customer. Keep up the great work and standards.

Great food well presented at Red Onion and good service. Only a few diners so bit of a lack of atmosphere. Slight confusion over lunch price as menu we were given said £11.50 for two courses but blackboard outside said £10.50 for two courses! After pointing this out the server agreed that it was indeed only £10.50 and menu had printing error!
