Sorriso Café is an independent daytime café at 81 Candleriggs in Glasgow’s Merchant City. Open from morning to late afternoon, it combines an easy neighbourhood atmosphere with table bookings for guests who want to plan breakfast, brunch or lunch in the city centre.
Brunch is a central part of the menu, with poached eggs, toasted sourdough and potato rosti used in several combinations. Guacamole, halloumi, hot smoked salmon, Stornoway black pudding, pancetta and Italian sausage give those dishes a range of vegetarian, seafood and meat options.
Lunch extends to soup, pasta and other substantial café plates, while coffee and cake make shorter visits just as natural. The mix of British, Scottish and Italian influences reflects a café that can move comfortably from a morning espresso to a relaxed midday meal.
The dining room is welcoming and informal, with service every day and an outdoor area licensed for customers. Its central location and broad daytime offer make Sorriso suitable for a quick coffee, a leisurely brunch with friends or lunch during a day in the Merchant City.
Address: 81 Candleriggs, Merchant City, Glasgow G1 1NP, Scotland
