Kelvingrove Café
In 1896 the Kelvingrove Café opened its doors for the first time and instantly became a favourite lunch spot for visitors to the recently finished Kelvingrove Park.
In 117 years it has had many different offerings but in 2013 we took it back to its Victorian roots and once again made it a contemporary European Grand Café. We are interested in knock out tastes and flavours that complement the social atmosphere of the café. This September we open our doors again. We’ve been hard at work working on all things Restaurant and Bar. Expect the best brunch in the city, knockout flatbreads, and classic cocktails. 7 days a week 10am-1am.
