About Once upon a Table

A small, intimate dining room in Glasgow that fills up fast, so book ahead — especially at weekends or with a bigger group. It's not a soft-play sort of place, but there are high chairs, a kids' menu, buggy access and free parking, and the team are the kind who make nothing feel like too much trouble. Lighting is warm, music stays low enough to talk over, and the food comes out properly good: Loch Fyne mussels with sourdough garlic bread, remarkably succulent chicken, hake and scallops off the specials board, and a quirky edible book pudding children tend to love the look of. The set menu at around £23 for two courses is genuinely good value, and there's no service charge added on. One parent calls it simply "a gem of a restaurant".
