  “I often go to Brel - just for the mussels. Went yesterday- had the best French onion soup with a cheesy crouton and a half pot of mussels. Delicious. The waitresses were lovely. Great service. I had an itison now voucher so it was good value. Just a great wee spot”

  “We recently visited for Sunday roast after booking a table and the roast in advance. The presentation of the food was excellent, and the vegetables were delicious. Unfortunately, the beef was cold and extremely chewy, to the point that we couldn’t finish it, which was really disappointing. Although we had booked in advance, we were initially seated at what felt like the worst table. However, when we asked to move, the staff were accommodating, and the servers themselves were lovely throughout. The atmosphere is always cosy and welcoming, which is one of the things we’ve enjoyed about this place. Unfortunately, the drinks were another letdown. We ordered caramel macchiatos, but they were served lukewarm in what seemed like espresso-sized portions. At £5 each, this certainly didn’t feel like good value for money. Overall, the lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and presentation of the food were positives, but the quality of the beef and the disappointing drinks made the experience fall short of expectations. We had been looking forward to our visit, so it was a shame that the food and value for money didn’t match the otherwise lovely setting.”

  “Great spot for beer garden drinking and dining with plenty of seating inside. Don’t be fooled by the front of the bar as the beer garden in the back is awesome and spacious. They gave Belgian, Scottish and German beers on tap.”

  “a beautiful café and restaurant, full of the loveliest little details. Every corner feels thoughtfully designed, with plenty of spacious indoor and outdoor seating. One visit is definitely not enough — you’ll want to come back and discover a different spot every time. Truly one of the most beautiful and unique places I visited in Glasgow. A must-visit! ✨”

  “Great service from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Our server Shannon provided fantastic and energetic service and didn’t miss a beat. Food was fantastic for the money and food portion sizes were great. Defo get the cheese fondue to add to your frites with your burger, Death by cheese! Thank you, next time I’m back in Glasgow I will come back.”

  “⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brel Bar is a lovely place with a very nice and creative decoration that gives it a unique character. I really liked the atmosphere—it was relaxed and welcoming. I ordered the hamburger with chips, and everything was very fresh and tasty. Overall, it was a great experience, and I’d happily visit again.”

  “It’s good for drinks, but I’d avoid the food There’s a student deal during the week which is decent, £4.50 cocktails, and some cheaper beers etc but still quite dear. Paying a premium for a lovely atmosphere however. It’s really well decorated and constructed with some nice design patterns in mind. The food was severely disappointing. Not real poutine with cheese curds. Gravy was alright, but the chicken was dry and the steak wasn’t seasoned. The mac n cheese was just bad, the person eating couldn’t finish it. Pretzel bites with the fondue was a total waste of time. May sound harsh, but it’s just sad when everything else about the place is so nice. Staff are really cool tho, so I would say it’s good for a wee drink now and again. Cheers for some nice evenings :)”

  “Booked online. I thought the service was slow and was very disappointed to find out the gluten free Sunday roast was just the roast without the Yorkshire pudding. Same price, just the meal missing one of the main ingridients. I think by that logic anything could be gluten free. The desert fondue was nice, particularly the waffles. Lovely location”

  “I absolutely love Brel, nice and cosy during winter and good fun vibes in the garden area when the weather is nicer. We tried the Chocolate Fondue which is amazing, lots of goodies to dip in and to balance it out we had the baked Camembert and the poutine. It was beautiful, I’d highly recommend.”

  “We chose it because we wanted to try the moules, but turned out it was sold out. But the board outside the restaurant still advertised the Moules Monday deal!! A bit disappointed. But the food we have ordered were very good. Big portion. Delicious. Staff were nice. We had an early dinner, 5-6:15 on Monday. Only 3 tables on the 1st floor. Vibe was relax and quiet. We have got 20% student discount (the 10% service was added after the discount). Great value of money.”
