The Lansdowne

The Lansdowne is a bar frequented by both myself and Mr Glasgow Family Notebook long before we met each other and we only recently decided to revisit it with a toddler in tow.  It was a success and we have since returned.

The lunch menu is fairly good value.  There are lots of other daily offers on too.  The kids menu is excellent; a choice of protein, carb and side (mix and match) and pudding for £4.  You are supposed to get crudites as well but I don't think these have ever appeared.  Also, the salmon fishcakes (Angus's favourite) have always been "sold out".  It's a good balance of healthy options and treats.  The food for grown-ups has lots of options and is very tasty too.  We have taken the grandparents and Auntie and would be a good meet-up for larger groups.

There are lots of TV screens showing sport.  Which Angus and Daddy appreciate.

As the dining section is separate from the bar, you don't feel like you are in a pub or disturbing someone else's appreciation of a game of football.  The "glasshouse" looks like a pleasant place to eat too.  I can see Angus and Daddy coming here in a few years "for lunch" to watch whole sporting events.

The Lansdowne is at 7a Lansdowne Crescent, just off Great Western Road.  Parking is free on Sundays but more complicated the rest of the week!  There is a flight of steps down into the bar but I think there might be a step-free back entrance into the conservatory (I have seen people with buggies come and go this way).  The toilets are lovely and clean but I'm not sure the baby change is exceptional (as with most bars!).  The staff are busy and do double-check your receipt.
