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!

    Excellent as ever. The magnificent smoked cod roe should be available to buy in tubs. The Market Menu is super value for 2 mains and a side. When the first dish of smoke trout dish arrives I’m sure that we’ll be picking another dish to fill us up. How wrong can I be as by the time we’ve finished our food, there’s barely room for coffee! Some day I’ll find room to have a dessert 😊

    Fantastic quality and reasonable prices. Venison was amazing, so was the coley. And the cheesecake. And the chat to the chef when we left.

    Lunch Menu was great with really interesting and delicious dishes. Couldn’t fault the food or excellent service. Not normally a cheesecake fan but persuaded by the PX sauce accompanying it. Absolutely stunning and the cheesecake itself light as a feather. A truly memorable dish My first visit but will definitely return.

    Visited Kelp on Saturday for the first time. We will definitely return, and soon! The dishes were all impeccable and not extortionate with lovely service and a buzzing atmosphere. Will recommend to anyone who enjoys seafood - a true gem!
