Nowita

A street is really ticking over in gastro terms when it’s got its own artisan takeaway ice-cream shop. Husband-and-wife team Jamie and Jill Inkster use milk and cream from Ayrshire’s much-loved Mossgiel Farm to churn out flavours like chocolate caramel & peanut, or custard & jam sponge. And it’s open until 9pm.

Zique

This neck of the woods does not want for brunch options, but the window seats at Zique are one of the more pleasant vantage points to gaze out from as you enjoy your poached eggs. A small plates menu runs in the evening with nods to Spain, Greece and beyond (patatas bravas, lamb spanakopita, scallops with dukkah).

Pescado

A happy combination of fish restaurant, neighbourhood tapas bar and good-value option. There are punchy and generous small plates, like seabass in a buttery white wine sauce, or king prawns in pesto and pasta, alongside a fair spread of meat choices too. A ‘3 tapas for £17.95’ deal runs until 6pm every day.

Partick Duck Club

‘Guilty pleasure’ food that’s posh and plush; and so are the surroundings. Brunch runs all day and West Enders sit outside grabbing a cocktail when it’s arguably too early to be doing so. Duck fat fries are a signature item, with elegant bistro plates and hearty vegetarian options like a halloumi and potato rosti barbecue burger.

Celino’s 

It just always seems to be busy at Celino’s, the restaurant at the foot of the road using top-drawer ingredients from their adjoining deli. As well as lots of classics, there’s a decadent pizza with burrata and San Daniele ham, or (on the lunch menu) the Celino’s Smorgasbord starter, a lucky dip of meats and cheeses from the deli that’s laughably good.
