About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Innovative
  • Neighbourhood gem
At KELP we take our time to make sure the food that goes on your plate is a fresh and local as possible. We source our seafood to be specifically Scottish and sustainable. We pride ourselves on using local suppliers for all our food. The fish people supply our fresh seafood daily. Our bread comes from Soja bakehouse, a family owned bakery in Cumbernauld. Our meat comes from ABR butchers, based in Bearsden.
Our executive chef, Christopher Hutchison, creates amazing, innovative dishes to be enjoyed and shared with friends and loved ones. We now have an AA rosette for 2023/2024 to highlight his and the teams amazing work. We are located on Cowcaddens Road, just around the corner from our sister restaurant, Ardnamurchan Restaurant and Bar and a stones throw from the theatre royal. Perfect for a meal before a show. Relax in our modern, airy restaurant and watch the chefs work in the open kitchen. Our signature dish is our crab doughnut, you'll be amazed!

    Absolutely first rate seafood, cooked and presented in modern innovate ways. A small plates concept that lets you sample many options. The location is convenient and inside it is modern and clean. The only reason its ambience lost a star, was that we went on a Tuesday lunch time and were the only ones there. I expect in busy evenings and weekends it gets quite buzzy. For the few days a year Glasgow has a summer, it has a large outside dining areas too.

    Lovely food, pleasantly attentive staff, ambient and not too expensive for the type of dining it offers. We had one of almost everything on the menu and all of it was great - the kitchen closed just as we were leaving but the staff kindly came over and asked if we wanted anything else before they did so. I also really appreciated Kelp specifying that cash tips are preferred rather than automatically placing a % on the bill. 10/10 would visit again!

    Beautifully presented, delicious food served by attentive (lovely!) waiting staff in a modern comfortable environment. Our party of five all agreed that we would be back at Kelp in the very near future. Our thanks to the owner and staff for an excellent birthday dinner, very much appreciated.
