When yer folks are nigh-on unaccommodateable, it’s hardly worth trying. Don’t bother viewing the menu, order them a seitan burger and a pint of Joker and that ought to be as good as can be hoped for.

If the baby is happy in its sling and not eating, then I’d not factor in its needs (apart from perhaps checking that they have a changing facility).

What kind of food does your dad like? You say not foreign, but does he eat seafood? Steak?

It does defo get harder once they are mobile/ decide that they hate highchairs. We tend to go for Italian restaurants with the toddler. Principally because he likes pasta (esp lasagne), but also because Italian waiting staff will always coo fondly over the fact that he is being frankly borderline satanic, and in the three restaurants we go to regularly they will take him away for a wander/ play while we finish off our food/ inhale our wine.

Gonna bite the good line “needlessly defensive” here but… with our large Italian community?

Who is that again? Greenock or Dumbarton or someone?

just seems like a very silly name for a restaurant. like calling an indian restaurant Uncle Currys or a french place Colette Baguette etc.

If he’s eating out, it’s either fish and chips or a carvery. My mother doesn’t really eat much anyway but is usually quite happy to try different things. I could have quite fancied a pizza or a curry but he doesn’t really like cheese or spice.

We’re going to do Drygate as there are options for both on there. Thanks for the tip @TheWza!

Don’t think it’s right this time but I would definitely eat there in future.

We should have another Glasgow Restaurants thread.

I’ve never been but the Ox and Finch in the west end has been recommended to me and it’s not too pricey either

It’s nice but I think it might be a bit flash for my parents.

cottiers on hyndland road is a good shout, my da is pretty much the same in terms of eating exclusively fish & chips or steak pie and he loves the food in there

I love ox and finch but you have to be ok with the concept. it’s sharing plates and each plate is really a blend of two or three ingredients (all fresh and lovely and tasty) but usually a little bit quirky too.

I took my mum there once forgetting that LESLEY DOESN’T SHARE and given that the whole concept of the food revolves around sharing and mix/matching 4-5 dishes, it made for a rather awful meal where she had (pleasingly) two scallops and a medallion of lamb and I ended up with a dollop of minty courgettes and some sodding crudities.

I could definitely eat a lamb medallion and some scallops.
