Southside Bar Restaurant is an all day venue at 164 Fenwick Road in Giffnock. The contemporary two level dining room combines restaurant tables, bar service and outdoor seating, making it suitable for brunch, lunch, dinner or drinks with friends.
Small plates include chicken and prawn tempura, hummus, halloumi fries and colourful salads. These can be shared before a main or combined into a lighter meal, with Mediterranean and wider international flavours shaping the selection.
Main dishes move between burgers, shawarma wraps, pasta, spiced chicken and vegetable curries. Choices such as chargrilled chicken with butternut squash, falafel with cured beetroot and Italian sausage stew give mixed groups several distinct styles rather than one narrow theme.
The bar supports the relaxed evening atmosphere, while breakfast rolls and daytime service make the venue useful earlier in the day. Guests with allergies should ask staff about the current menu and shared preparation, particularly for gluten, dairy, sesame, shellfish and fryer use.
Address: 164 Fenwick Road, Giffnock, Glasgow G46 6XF, Scotland
