Eating Out

I seem to be eating my way through the inventively named items on the menu at Where The Monkey Sleeps and it's becoming one of my favourite Glasgow places. Anywhere that calls their sandwiches things like Stoofa, Lovely Nancy and Child Of The Goat earns my loyal custom.




Another establishment making a stand against the caffeinated hegemony of the major franchises is Stereo. It's one of the few vegan places to eat in the city centre. I'm not a vegan but sometimes it's nice to be able to get some vegetables (Roast Sweet Potato Chips, say no more). It does suffer from a lack of staff though, and I can't help but wonder if an extra barperson might make dining and drinking there a more enjoyable experience. And they should get some cakes! Meanwhile it's the sort of place that's so anti-hip that it's achingly trendy (if you see what I mean) and thus always busy at the weekends.
