About Alchemilla
New Information regarding bookings:
Based on popular demand, Alchemilla will now be offering our bar stools to walk-ins only.
Simple Mediterranean food for sharing. Dishes are served from an open kitchen as they are ready, leading to a relaxed informal dining style experience. There is a real emphasis on fresh seasonal produce with our menu constantly in motion to reflect just that. The forward thinking wine list focuses on natural and organic wines that are complimentary to our food offerings, whilst the cocktail list has some fresh and striking combinations. Expect knowledgeable and helpful staff that can help you with all aspects of your meal.
Our restaurant is split in to 3 levels- the Mezzanine, Ground Floor & Basement Dining Room so do look at all options when booking.
For tables of 5 + please call the restaurant directly, and we ask for a £5 per head deposit to secure these larger tables.
We are a small restaurant so please do not turn up too early or late for your table, and we request that you stick to your allocated time to allow us to offer all customers the best experience.
If you do not turn up for your table it will be given away after 15 minutes unless organised directly over the phone with the restaurant.

Delicious, creative food. Really enjoyed the burst of colours, flavours and textures.
Friendly staff and great ambience. Food fantastic as always.
I visit every couple of months or so. Food is always of good quality with many interesting dishes to try. A couple of grumpy waitresses aside i’ve always enjoyed my visits and looked forward to returning. Most recent visit though was tempered with a noticeable increase in prices and reduction to n quantity of main ingredients. We paid £65 for five dishes without any drinks. Sliced onglet had 6 slices of meat for £13.50!! My son was served this during my brief visit to the loo and had finished it by my return. Similar sized portion of lambs tongue. £7.50 for tiny ramekin of chocolate mousse served with tea spoons to make the taste experience last. Will be reconsidering if I return at these prices and portion sizes.
We had an utterly brilliant night- and how refreshing to have good that tastes so good but not with a massive price tag! Customer service was second to none and our waitress explained the menu perfectly. Can’t wait to visit again!
Hi I used to love this restaurant but unfortunately for me the food tastes as if it’s lost all care put into it. This was my first time coming since the new chef has been in place, and won’t be back again, this is sad cause it used to be one of my favourite restaurants, but the food felt like it was made carelessly and without any creativity. Sorry, thanks
Amazing food.
Food delicious, staff friendly and knowledgeable
Very strange flavor combinations - we didn’t care for the sea bass ceviche, the goat cheese, asparagus and lovage or the quail. We also thought our drinks were unextraordinary. Our table was immediately asked for back in less than two hours (which ended up not being a problem), but not a welcoming way to start a dining experience.
Food was overpriced and very poor taste. Did not enjoy this experience at all
Food was amazing. Best place to eat in Glasgow. Our server Mia was amazing aswell, great with recommendations and knew loads about the menu.
We had a really lovely time here. Really delicious food, very helpful service and a lovely buzzy atmosphere. My only caveat is that we ordered far too much food - although these are small plates they are still pretty substantial. Excellent value for money
We used to love this place, but sadly the departure of Rosie Healey has left it a bit lost. We were served garish, psychedelic looking and massively overworked versions of the kinds of things we used to get here. A mullet cevice arrived fluorescent orange with chilli powder, a pea green oil, and chopped chives which totally overpowered the delicate fish and orange. Octopus arrived again bright orange with chilli powder, so unbelievably salty it again drowned the taste of the octopus and lemon which was apparently in there. What sounded like a fresh, delicate dish was in fact barely edible. Cauliflower with zero texture lost in a sea of zhoug. And they ran out of desert by 6.30pm on a Sunday. Also, service wise -we sat with empty glasses for 20 mins trying to order more drinks (the restaurant was half empty) and our water bottle was taken away to make space on the table (never been necessary before) with the assurance she would keep it on the bar and keep topping us up -never to be seen again. Such a disappointing experience at what used to be the best restaurant in Glasgow. We won’t be back, and we’ll be eagerly awaiting Rosie Healey’s new venture.
A really great early evening meal. Been before and is still a high quality place- chilled and tasty.
Delicious food once again in brilliant atmosphere. Very friendly staff.
excellent food and service, however, we were sitting downstairs and with the low ceiling and it being full, I found it very loud (not to say we didnt contribute) but difficult to hear over the table
Reduced menu. Food was innovate but lacking in the wow factor this place once had. Not what it was until quite recently
Really enjoyed the dinner. Thought that the menu could make it clear which dishes were served cold, as three cold plates for dinner didn't feel like value for money. The bread and oil was to die for and the service was excellent.
The quality of the food is exceptional; every dish inspires a gasp of Wow! All the staff are briliant and we have been fortunate enough to have the outstanding Mona looking after us on our last two visits. The overall experience is a solid 10 on all counts.
Always a special experience!
Great food, great service and very relaxed atmosphere.
Another lovely meal with a great atmosphere
I hate this requests for feedback on the staff - just seems to me like management wanting customers to grass up the staff, in an exercise that is dressed up as asking about your 'dining experience'. I wish you would stop doing it. For the record we could not have had more charming, delightful and attentive service.
Menu should be easier to understand,too many pretentious culinary terms used
Everything was fantastic. Again.
All dishes tried were excellent. The pork was possibly the best we have ever tasted being incredibly tender and flavoursome. The cauliflower was cooked to perfection. All round an very different range of textures and flavours all of which were delicious.
