Food delicious as have been previous visits. Very good friendly and efficient service. Small bottle of prosecco was £8.00 - slightly overpriced !

Food was quite good. Service good. Small restaurant and it was cold wet day and we were too close to the door so it was unpleasant every time someone came in or left.

A delightful place on arrival, but the food failed to deliver what we were looking forward to. We had a special - Lemon Sole with a balsamic based 'sauce' served with Parmesan sweet potato fries. There was little taste of the cheese, they were dry and tasteless. Altogether a letdown considering the venue was recommended to us by two 'foodies'. Alas, as regular visits to Glasgow, we will not be visiting this restaurant again.

Fantastic fish in great setting. Top wine list too. Faultless meal - and I'm not easily pleased! Well worth jumping on the underground and visiting. Well done to all!

This is my second visit to The Fish People Cafe. As before, the food was very good and for a Saturday afternoon the place was at about 80% capacity which shows its popular.

Fabulous food, wonderful wine, super service. We had a fantastic meal. So many options and so, on impulse, I ordered the stone bass with spiced ginger cream - it was beautiful. My partner chose beef bourgingnon and said it was as good as any she’s tasted in France. I’ve previously tried the tandoori sea bass and, from the aroma creeping across from a neighbouring table, I could tell that someone was lucky enough to be trying it on Thursday. Already looking forward to my next visit!

The restaurant is different class. I went with a friend last night for the early evening meal and it was every bit as good as my previous visit. I had been before with my husband and some friends and we all enjoyed it immensely. The food is exceptional in quality, flavour and presentation. The staff are extremely efficient and friendly. If you’re looking for a good quality seafood restaurant I wouldn’t go anywhere else.

Fantastic food as always. Great value for money on the lunchtime menu. Cullen skink followed by fresh sea bass with lovely salad. Delicious dessert. Cream ice cream with bitter chocolate sauce and honeycomb. Finished off with coffee and tablet. All for under £25 per person

The restaurant itself is beautifully designed, clean and fresh and a favourite of mine and my friends. The food is always delicious and beautifully presented. Three of us were very pleased with the meal and facilities, including spacious disabled toilet. The one disappointment was lettuce with a bit that was mulsh served, when that could easily have been cut off.

Good friendly informed service. Super fish dishes which dominated the menu,of course, although some choice available and desserts and wines were very good. Bit put off by strange situation but perfectly fine design and comfort inside.

Some of the best seafood I’ve eaten, friendly staff, easy location right next to the Shields subway. The oysters in particular stood out, dressed with a Scotch vapor. I will certainly return on my next trip to Glasgow.

Delicious food, excellent service in lovely surroundings. Both special starters were so tasty - smoked mackerel pate and swordfish tartare. I then had the Portland crab linguini and my husband had the tandoori sea bass. Both were delicious. And the home made soda bread was really special. We will definitely return to sample more delights from the menu.

Excellent service. Delectable food. A gem of the Glasgow southside! We had the monkfish tails, dressed crab, tandoori sea bass and the highly recommended stone bass. For dessert we had the chocolate tart and the cheeseboard. Washed down with a gorgeous montepulciano. A fantastic evening! The tandoori sea bass was a highlight for me, the dressed crab was my partner’s favourite.
