Overview

There's lime and vanilla mash, potato fondant and roast garlic crushed potatoes but not a chip in sight at this ironically named Glasgow stalwart. Dine in the green courtyard or the neighboring dining room in the old stables. Listen to the water filling the coy carp pond and enjoy the contemporary take on Scottish fine dining. At all levels, Scottishness is very much at the core of their identity.

Where is The Ubiquitous Chip Restaurant located?

Located on Ashton Lane in Glasgow’s west end, the Ubiquitous Chip Restaurant is the most unique dining experience in Glasgow.

What type of food do you serve at The Ubiquitous Chip Restaurant?

A plethora of fine Scottish ingredients are used imaginatively in dishes such as Dumfriesshire rabbit, pear and pistachio nut sausage with basil cabbage or Perthshire wood pigeon wrapped in bacon served with a rich game sauce and pearl barley. Traditional accompaniments include clapshot (mashed swede and potato) and stovies; a kind of Scottish take on pomme boulangere. For the terminally thirsty, there's a 'big pub', 'wee pub' and 'corner bar' all on site.

What makes the dining experience unique at The Ubiquitous Chip Restaurant ?

From the beginning, their ethos was defined, l ocally sourced, seasonal, creative and culturally authentic. They are interested in promoting all the quality products of Scotland. Theytdon't follow the trends, they don't obsess over the latest fads; no, they're truthful, they're upfront and maintain credibility in their own world-class food, but ultimately they are confide their food is going to talk for itself.

Reviews

We gathered to celebrate a birthday with a gorgeous meal. The extended family and friends picked from the Brasserie Menu, and the various dishes were very well prepared and presented. each of us round the large table was delighted with the quality of the food and the skills in the kitchen were very obvious. One guest made a mistake in the rib-eye steak, and ordered it rare, in a fit of optimism. The waiter corrected the customer error with a smile, and in a minute or two the dish was taken and replaced with a fresh steak, perfectly prepared to her taste. This was the manner of the service- the customer is to be happy. I enjoyed my sea bass with samphire immensely, while my brother (the birthday boy) was impressed with the chicken and polenta. The sweet menu was a delight too, and the wines and beers were excellent. We were happy, loud and indulged with patience and lots of attention in the side room upstairs. The patience was extended to our bill-splitting, and the staff kindly itemised the prices with apparent ease. The cost of dining in the Ubiquitous Chip is not over-the-top, and represents great value for dishes so expertly prepared and presented. We tipped well, and thought the whole evening was fantastic.

Main restaurant at Ubiquitous Chip never disappoints. Scottish themed ingredients, gorgeous building and restaurant in the main "courtyard" area. Really nice bars. Staff always friendly. Having eaten here > 20 times never had less than a fantastic meal,fantastic, friendly service and a good evening. Nice location up Ashton lane, near to University, usually nice buzz of activity in the lane and surrounding bars. Cheaper menu offered on mezzanine and bars. also really good quality food. Nice wee smoking terrace on top floor, with heaters, with a view, for those who puff.

Great grub! Seriously, some really fine food here. Good wine list. Highly recommend the rabbit leg confit foie gras rillette starter, a generous slice of foie gras mousse studded with rabbit, and for mains the red deer, and outstanding stovies; baked goats cheesecake was sublime. Not so impressed by the guinea fowl. The atmosphere is casual, but the food is up in Michelin * territory. My partner has food allergies, which I called about in advance, and they printed a special copy of the menu for her, listing just the dishes she could order, which we really appreciated.

I booked this back in January and the communication with the restaurant was first class, from confirming time and number in my party to the emailing of menus and wine list. This was a special night as my daughter had graduated that day and the restaurant did not disappoint. We had champagne on arrival expertly poured by our wine waiter Fraser and then went on to have a wonderful meal from the set menu explained beautifully by our waiter Peter. After our meal we went into the we chip bar for after dinner drinks and a great night was had by all.

The Ubiquitous Chip is a go-to dining solution. Their menu is incredible: authentic and mainly local Scottish cuisine, but surprisingly creative and varied. They offer "wee" dishes and large dishes, as well as mains and STUNNING desserts. Excellent array of local and international beers and other drinks. The decor is stunning, with a coy little entrance that gives nothing away until you're actually inside. Good value for money as well. Definitely going back.

I love this place for very special occasions like my birthday. Our family hold special birthdays and graduations here as everyone is always happy with the excellent service and wonderful Scottish fare. I have never had a meal at The Chip that I didn't thoroughly enjoy and I nearly always have a steak.

Nestled in a cobbled lane on the West End of Glasgow is a marvellous restaurant that definitely shows off Scottish cuisine. We had a wonderful meal in a delightful setting - the highlight of our trip to Glasgow. The red deer was amazing! True to their backstory there was not a chip to be found...

If you are looking for good staff great food then I would recommend this place. It's not cheap but I enjoyed my meal. Staff are attentive and pretty switched on which is hard to find. Nice atmosphere and booked as even during the week it's busy.

We love this restaurant and always go for a special occasion. A little on the pricier side but well worth the money. Service is always good and the food has always been fantastic
