Glasvegan is one vegan restaurant in Glasgow that’s been on the visit list for some time. The restaurant opened its doors in 2018 and has proved popular with vegans and non-vegans alike. After a visit to the restaurant and some takeaway food, it was time to review the experience.
Looking Around
Glasvegan is a popular vegan restaurant located in St Enoch Square in Glasgow City Centre. The restaurant is quite small, and you are unlikely to notice it unless you’re vegan and seek it out; that said, there are some tables and chairs outside that looking inviting on sunny days.
Inside, Glasvegan is narrow; the space is a little tight, but there is still room for groups of four to sit at tables and benches at the windows where you can look out while having some tasty lunch. This restaurant is probably better for lunch instead of a special event with a chain pendant.
The Food
Some vegan restaurants come and go because they can’t meet demand or they don’t have the best variety of food on offer, but there’s a reason Glasvegan has made its name in the city. Glasvegan offers a nice range of vegan options and the best vegan mac and cheese around.
Choose from large plates of vegan nachos, burritos, mac and cheese, sandwiches, and soups. Glasvegan also makes delicious vegan milkshakes that will make you want to go back. It’s fair to say they get the pricing right as well; Glasvegan is value for money based on the food quality.
The Service
Expect service with a smile when you visit Glasvegan; this popular vegan cafe is super friendly no matter what time of the day or week you pop in. The cafe also operates on Facebook, so if you want to book a table or order takeout, you can communicate with them on social media.
The service in the restaurant is prompt; you don’t have to wait too long for the kitchen to deliver. Glasvegan also partners with Vegan Wheels, a local vegan delivery service in the city; this website is easy to use, and deliveries are reliable. The delivery cost is also pretty reasonable.
Payments
As with most restaurants these days, Glasvegan offers customers a range of payment options; these include cash, card, and online payments. Compared to other vegan restaurants in the city Glasvegan are competitive and somewhat reasonable, especially when it comes to deliveries.
If you decide to order from home, the best mode of payment is through the Vegan Wheels website. Simply go to the website and choose Glasvegan from a small group of options, choose what you want from the menu and save your card details. Vegan Wheels remembers orders.
Overall
In terms of presentation, Glasvegan is clean and modern, with an eye-catching brand name in the city. The portion sizes are pretty good and offer value for money. Glasvegan has some of the tastiest vegan food in the city, including mac and cheese, and offers excellent value for money.
