Ollie's

Every neighbourhood should have an Ollie’s. It’s a welcoming hangout on Nithsdale Road in Glasgow’s Southside.

You know the kind of place. Laidback, friendly, serves good food, decent wine list.

Local. No need to get a taxi or argue over whose turn it is to drive.

Drop by Ollie’s with today’s Big Deal on a two or three course dinner for two.

Informal and welcoming

With its reclaimed lighting, white tiles and stripped tables, it is a comfortable, informal place where people are as welcome for coffee and cake as they are for a multi-course sit down evening meal with friends.

Available Sunday to Friday

From the Far East to the Med via the States, the menus at Ollie’s take inspiration from many parts of the world.
