Porter & Rye

Welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere. Delicious Sunday Roast menu. Every element combined to make a flavoursome feast. Highlights, Ox Cheek - honestly, kudos for getting that onto the plate in one piece, melt in your mouth decadence, Bone Marrow Gravy, Yorkshire Pudding - Spongy texture that was perfect for soaking up the gravy and not just push it around the plate, Garlic Mash, Charred Shallot, Scotch Broth starter with Bread and Butter. Expertly considered dishes where each ingredient has been enhanced. This isn't your average Sunday roast, hold off on the seasonings, trust the kitchen.

My husband and I came here for dinner one night of our honeymoon in Scotland. The waitstaff were so pleasant, and they took the time to make little gestures like complimentary glasses of Prosecco before dinner and a “Congratulations on your honeymoon” display with our dessert. Our waitress patiently answered all of our questions, and she took the time to talk to the chef when I, as a picky eater, wanted one of the desserts without half of its ingredients, and they figured out how to make a version I could happily eat. The steak was cooked as we ordered, and my husband enjoyed his drinks. The dessert was good, maybe not great, but we were there for the main meal, and that exceeded what we were looking for.

Great place for dinner. Great atmosphere and great food. The starters or small plates were excellent, much better than what you might expect from a steak restaurant. The pigeon was great and very well cooked. Could easily do small plate tapas style rather than have steak. The steaks were excellent too and a decent size. Peppercorn sauce was quite creamy, more to my wife’s liking, I like a bit more peppery heat but it was still tasty. The carrots side was excellent, you could really taste the difference between the different types of carrot. I thought the brownie was a bit dry and couldn’t really taste the maple or bacon flavours from the menu but it was decent enough. My wife’s baked Alaska was fantastic. The do great inventive cocktails too. I would definitely go back for a quality meal in Glasgow.

We always come back to Porter. We decided to spend our 1st wedding anniversary here and they made it very special ❤️ we were given a beautiful dessert stating “happy anniversary” which was a lovely touch. We got the Côte de Boeuf which was spectacular, every bite melted in your mouth. Hands down the best steak I’ve ever had, and I’ve been to Steaktown, Mississippi! If you want steak done properly, I cannot recommend Porter enough.
