Ohhhh my gooodnessssss gracious meeeee yaaaallll! Ocho is awesomeeeeee!
So I've known of Ocho for quite some time and have seen it as I made my way to the Whisky Bond tons of times but have never tried it because it had a bad rep on Yelp and err'where else I read online. But alas, it has a new owner, new menu, new service, new err'thang!!! It is now an amazing gem that you cannot miss out on!
Located right next to the canal, with the most gorgeous view of Glasgow, ESPECIALLY on a good sunny day, Ocho is a restaurant that does upgraded and modern Scottish British dishes. They get fancy for dinner but apparently, they do casual menus during the day too like pancakes and sandwiches! Definitely heading back to try them pancakes y'all. They also make cakes! CAKESSSSS
Anyway, for dinner today, we had the 4 course taster for £25 each (not including your drinks of course). We started with an amuse bouche which unfortunately I can't recall the ingredients but it's was like an amazing shot of tasty soup, like super tasty!
This was followed by our first dish of fish, and then beetroot risotto WHICH WAS DELICIOUS, and duck breast with lavender oil, which was by far my fav. I'm not a big fan of the duck but the portion was just perfect, it wasn't too fatty or oily and the lavender oil was very special and subtle/fragrant! Who knew that'd go well with duck?? Interesting pairing!
For dessert, we had a type of fresh fruit pudding with passion fruit sorbet. SINFUL, PURE SINFUL. That sorbet was far too good!
Staff members were so super friendly and accommodating. They also have a selection of wine and spirits to go with your delicious food. Wifi is available and legit really good playlist too!
Will most definitely go back to visit! Will bring the Italian for brunch or a wee afternoon tea some time soon. Will try to visit when it's a sunny day so we can sit outside on their picnic benches and enjoy the scenery! Pay a visit to this awesome gem of a restaurant, and discover a very special part of Glasgow while at it! :) Loved it a lot!
