Firebird

We visited Firebird as passing traffic and were very pleasantly surprised.  The cafe and restaurant at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is underwhelming and I'd vowed not to go there again but step outside the museum and find somewhere new.

As we passed Firebird, my visiting sister said: "What about in there?".  I sent her in to find out if they did a children's menu.  They do.  And they said something about children not tall enough to see over the bar are free or discounted or something.  I can't verify any of this as she picked up the tab too.  But as the total bill came to £22 for the three of us, it seems likely.

At 12pm, we were the only people dining but an hour later when we left it was heaving, especially with buggies!  There is lots of space for buggies.  The atmosphere is light, bright and relaxed.  The trendy staff couldn't have been nicer to a couple of oldies and a toddler.  Even though most of our chat was about the buses you could see through the windows.

I had a sandwich and chips, my sister and Angus both had sourdough pizza, which looked great.  In fact you can see the wood-fired oven behind the bar and Angus's pizza was just the same size as a grown-ups.  The food was really, really tasty and they serve West beer too.

Firebird is at 1321 Argylle Street and opens at 12.  The nearest and cheapest parking is at either the Bunhouse or Kelvingrove Gallery and is £1 for four hours.  The toilets are downstairs and clean, I didn't sample the baby change.   The menu came with the obligatory crayons.
