This was our first visit to Red Onion. Very happy they had a full Vegan side menu, all the options looked amazing so very difficult to make a decision. Both service and food was over the top - will definitely be back! <3

Food and service were excellent. My wife has severe food intolerances and appreciated the gluten and dairy free menu. No need to ask what is in everything or for something to be left out. Will definitely be back.

Food delicious as always. Pre-theatre but it was getting busy. Staff attentive. Only disappointment was we asked for 2 large glasses of wine when we sat down followed by another 2 during the meal and were charged for separate glasses. I would have expected them to suggest we just bought the bottle given there couldn't have been much, if anything, left in it rather than charging for individual glasses - will remember that if I go again.

Food was ok but not great. Rather expensive for what I thought was an average meal. Had heard great things but was quite disappointed. Dessert choice was minimal and so was the portion of vegan choc brownie which was quite dry. Sorry would not recommend.

We visited the Red Onion last week and all enjoyed delicious freshly cooked meals. We had three courses from the pre- theatre menu which was amazing value for money. The staff were very efficient and friendly too. Five of us in our group and each one of of said that we will definitely return here and are recommending to friends already. A great find in Glasgow!

Excellent Vegan menu which vegetarian daughter loved. On the main set menu, there was something to suit everyone. My steak was excellent, while our other guest enjoyed a very tasty chicken main. Restaurant lovely and light too on a sunny day. Nice ambience.
