Today I talk about a little secret venue hidden behind Byres Road, if you know about it then I may be the only one that hasn’t found out about it till recently (I do tend to hide my head in the sand).

Today’s venue is the Bothy, a Scottish themed restaurant located near Byres Road. The Bothy also have another brand located in Perth if you fancy a nice drive for lunch or dinner.

The Bothy is a unique restaurant (we know I like them) serving their own style and twist on Scottish cooking. The venue hosts an extremely relaxed and snug environment making it very easy for customers to relax in comfort and enjoy their dinner. I use the word “snug” because when I think of the word “snug” I think of a cosy location that’s welcoming with lots of warmth where a consumer can curl up and relax. “Snug” is the perfect adjective to use to describe the Bothy, it provides a comfortable and warm environment. It is very welcoming and hosts’ lots of sofa/ couch type furniture allowing customers to relax with friends and enjoy food and drinks. Ironically the Bothy entertains their private dining functions in a room called the “snug”.


I wasn’t even aware this little gem existed. Mr Sk took me here on one of our first dates. We had been out the night before and were very hungover and the food served was exactly what my hangover needed: good, stodgy home made cooked food. We were sat at a table situated in the corner provided with two big cosy armchairs.

The menu offered is delicious. It is true homemade Scottish delicacies yet with their own twist added to the recipes. We both had the home- made chicken liver parfait (otherwise known as pate to you and me) followed by what is known as “The Bothy Burger”. The infamous burger, which is made from steak and haggis, combined, assisted with a side of fries. Obviously we weren’t to miss out on pudding (my favourite meal of the day) rounding off my dinner with a scrumptious dark chocolate and peanut butter crème brûlée. Yum! It sorted my hangover right out.

The Bothy is a beautiful restaurant that I would visit for special occasions. It hosts a lovely location with the brand presented very well. The staff even don kilts as part of their uniform adding to the Scottish theme. Our dinner was served hot and freshly cooked; the staff were friendly and helpful. We were very happy with the service provided to us, I would recommend the Bothy to anyone. The prices are set a touch higher compared to other restaurants nearby but with the overall experience of the restaurant you would be expected to pay a slightly higher price, especially for a treat night out.
