It’s my favourite restaurant! Yes selfish I know but I must insist how good it is. From my place you can grab the underground from Partick to Kelvinbridge or walk through Kelvingrove Park to this amazing restaurant. You can also grab a coffee and cake, or an a spritz or grappa maybe? The food is delicious and the staff are so lovely. It’s the best Italian restaurant ❤️

It’s beautiful! A stroll through the Botanics is a great way to spend an afternoon. The glass houses are full of exotic plants and if you’re lucky you might catch a book fair or craft fair. There’s a great walk on to Kelvingrove Park from here too. Grab a coffee and enjoy!

It’s free! Yes it is! If you looking at old cars, trams and trains it’s worth a visit. It’s right on the water front and you can also visit the tall ship just behind it.

Breakfast
Partick Duck Club is a great choice for breakfast. In the summer months you can sit outside (first come first served). Advisable to book. Can be pricey so check online first to make sure it’s on budget for you. Highly recommend!

Neighbourhoods
Great area in the west end for food, bars, cafes and a few quirky shops. Visit the Hidden Lane for quirky shops and a tiny cafe. In summer Kelvingrove Bowling Green is open is you fancy a whirl. A nice area to walk to from Partick, that will take you past the Kelvingrove Gallery.

Getting anywhere from Partick
Partick is a bit of a hub. You can get a train, the underground and a bus all from the main Partick station. Bike hire is nearby too. You can easily hop on the underground into the city-centre or take the train or bus. The train goes direct to Edinburgh or going the other way to Balloch at Loch Lomond. There’s also a taxi rank at the station and a bus that takes you to and from the airport. The Hydro and the SECC are only a train stop away or a stroll if you feel like a walk. Happy days!
