Brodies, 53 West Regent Street, Glasgow *CLOSED*

When we arrived at around 12:30 the restaurant was empty apart from a single table. We opted for 2 items from the £5 weekday lunch menu – large Haggis nachos and a soup & sandwich combo of Cajun Chicken with soup of the day – cream of Tomato soup. Other £5 options include another 5 sandwich options, regular nachos, chicken and black pudding stovies, a beef burger, pie, pasta or salad of the day.

The sandwich was half a baguette, the filling tasty if a little dry. The soup was lovely and creamy and was served in a sort of teardrop-ladle shaped bowl.

The “large” haggis nachos however were anything but large which was disappointing! The haggis was good but they were finished quickly and I was still hungry. A “smaller” portion, which is only slightly cheaper can be ordered as a starter from the main menu. Service was prompt and when we left it was busy. I’ll come back and sample some of the dishes from the main menu…
