Darcy's - Glasgow

I was walking all over Glasgow and wanted to get a late lunch, but given how I was doing so much exploring I truly had a really hard time picking a spot. I ended up at Darcys which was nice, but quite loud, and crowded (not a reason behind the 3 stars. I had the GINGER BEER and the PENNE ARRABIATA. The pasta was a bit overcooked, but not worth bringing up to the servers since everyone was running around. Not the best i've had, but when you're hungry... you are HUNGRY. ENJOY!

Great food and people. What more can you ask for. Was here long time ago but thought I would write a review and post some pictures up.

I was dining in here tonight as part of a set menu and initially didnt look like there was anything that resembled gluten free however i took a chance and decided to ask if they had gluten free pasta. I was over the moon to find they could make the carbonara gluten free! The waiters were attentive and kept asking if we wanted drinks however several times we asked for the water jugs to be refilled they never were. Thats the only reason this is not a 5 stat review. Darcys is a beautiful venue and were were dining in the private dining room at the back which was lovely. Its a lovely room to host any small function.

Described as a cafe bar on its website, Darcy's is a stylish yet relaxed venue suitable for a catch up over coffee, a glass of wine or a tasty meal. My mum loves it here and I can tell why. A bit more sophisticated than other cafe bars, it is also slightly pricier but you can tell that the food is of a high quality. It's varied menu offers proper main meals as well as sandwiches and burgers. I chose the club sandwich which seemed expensive at £8.95 but they didn't scrimp on the portions and I couldnt even finish it all. It was very tasty. The service was attentive despite being busy although we were given an incorrect bill and struggled find someone to point this out to which was a bit embarrassing but usually not having someone hanging over you waiting for you to pay and leave would definitely be a positive so I can't fault them for that. With it's classy but cosy decor and a strong sense of identity you don't feel like you are sitting in the middle of a shopping mall at all.

On the bottom floor of Prince's Square, D'Arcy's is my favourite of the restaurants in the centre. It's got a good balance and has an informal atmosphere despite the proper restaurant menu, and even though some may think a shopping centre wouldn't provide the right ambience (especially as the surroundings are obviously a bit deserted later at night), I just like the general feel of the place. During the day it's busy with people having coffees, lunches etc etc but at night it's more of a proper restaurant. I was disappointed to find my grilled salmon and crushed potatoes had been taken from the menu, but the seared sea bass more than made up for it. Many of the eateries in Princes Square are wolves in sheeps clothing and utterly **** despite their location and price, this is one of the good ones though. Highly recommended.
