Every neighbourhood needs a restaurant that is both comfortable and creative, a space for long weekend lunches or midweek catch-ups. If you live near Kelvingrove Park then you have a dazzling array of options, led by Five March which is at the vanguard of modern Glasgow hospitality. It's a fun place to try new things, which is what we did recently, trying out the dishes and cocktails from their latest menu. Here's some reasons to visit this weekend.
Five March also have a festive menu available which you can find here.
Find them at 140 Elderslie Street, G3 7JR.
1. Five March
Pisco, sake, pickled ginger, peach, soda. Deceptively simple, layered, crisp and refreshing.
2. Five March
Whipped creme fraiche, grapes, sourdough granola, paprika, endive. Use the endive to scoop up all the different textures and flavours. Fight off any attempts from your dining partners to claim a grape.
3. Five March
Anchovies, coriander, jalapeno, pickled shallot. Not something I would ordinarily try but the anchovies zinged with a sharp taste of the sea. Demolished thoughtfully.
4. Five March
Aubergine sambal, crispy leek, coriander. One of the reasons Five March is among the best places in the city for vegetarian and vegan plates is dishes like this.
