- welcoming and caring staff - nice and good atmosphere - ordered their special Turkish breakfast. It was delicious. I enjoyed every bite of it Overall, great experience and highly recommended. Note to the owner: I saw you allow dogs inside the restaurant. Unfortunately, some people are allergic to animals. Please pay attention

Some of the best food nice have eaten for a long time.. Great staff. Nice location, by the canal. Parking is tricky but we got a space. The crispy kale was amazing. Steak sandwich was outstanding. And my hot smoked salmon, avocado on sour dough toast with poached eggs. Was also outstanding. Free water to the table. Coffee was first class so was the pot of tea. Booking recommended.

Wow! What a great find. Received a voucher for Xmas and today 4 of us went for brunch. The menu was varied, suitable for veggies, vegan and gluten free. It was delicious and we’ve already decided we will be back very soon…and what’s more they do doggie birthday party’s.

Place is really cute. Doesn’t have parking which made it a little difficult to access as we had to find parking then walk there. But it’s a nice walk! The wait staff attention to detail could be better. Had to remind twice for water, I asked what a couple things on the menu were and they weren’t sure. I was given no cutlery when I got my meal which I had to ask for. The atmosphere was lovely. And the food ok. I made the wrong choice! The Dog menu is a cute touch!

I recently visited the charming Ocho Canal Side Café, and it was a delightful experience! The atmosphere is cosy and relaxed, with beautiful views of the canal that make it a perfect spot for a leisurely lunch. I decided to try their toasted sandwich and tomato soup, and I was not disappointed. The sandwich was perfectly toasted, with a crispy exterior and a soft, flavorful filling. They offered a variety of options, and I chose the classic ham and cheese. The combination of savoury ham and melted cheese was simply delicious. The tomato soup was the highlight of my meal. It was rich and creamy, with a hint of herbs that really elevated the flavours. It paired wonderfully with the toasted sandwich, creating a comforting and satisfying meal. The service was friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed without being intrusive. Prices were reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the picturesque setting. Overall, I would highly recommend Ocho Canal Café for anyone looking for a cosy spot to enjoy a great toasted sandwich and a bowl of comforting tomato soup. I look forward to returning and trying more from their menu!

Everything is always just perfect. We come here often! And recommend Ocho to all our family and friends. Great vegan options and also extremely dog friendly (even if your dog isn't 🤣)

We came to this place for breakfast while visiting Glasgow with our kids on a holiday. They serve superb breakfast dishes and the workers are very kind. The place itself is clean & cosy. The kids loved the French Toast dish so much! I do recommend you to try it for sure when you're in the area.

Amazing food and very charming restaurant. Highly recommend it. The soup was to die for and the homemade chutneys were a treat!

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!

We decided to visit Ocho for a Sunday brunch, so we arrived here shortly before noon. The location is good, and Speirs Wharf seems like a quiet and peaceful area (at least on a Sunday morning). It's right by the river, so you can go for a quick stroll before or after your meal, if the weather permits. Some outside seating seemed to be on offer as well, so you could have your drinks or your meal outside if you preferred. The restaurant itself seemed like a meeting point for locals as well, and everyone was friendly. Parking was available on site, but I'm not sure if this would be the case during busier times or peak hours. I went with the steak sandwich with peppercorns sauce and sweet potato fries, as well as some coffee. The service was fast and friendly, so there's absolutely nothing to complain about there. Our food arrived in short order, and was delicious, as was the coffee. The price was reasonable and the portions were big enough, especially for a brunch. At the end, it felt like I could have had dessert if I absolutely wanted to, but I didn't need to - the main course was enough. To sum it up: this is a really nice restaurant that I'd probably visit on a regular basis if I lived closer to it. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars only instead of five is that it won't make me drive across town on a regular basis to eat there like some other restaurants (to which I gave five stars) do, but I will visit again if I'm in the area. I definitely recommend giving it a try if you get the chance!

So I'm lucky enough to work just doors along from Ocho and often find myself nipping in for a quick takeaway on a weekly basis! Its now under new management and what an improvement that is! Located right on the canal up at Speirs Wharf (yes that is the correct spelling) and if it is a sunny day you have cracked it! So by now I have tasted a few of their lunchtime dishes. From their soup and sandwiches to the chilli! All are very pleasant for a lunch stop. With a menu changing daily the food is always fresh. So why a 3 star and not 4 star, firstly the pricing is really inconsistent for example I bought the same lunch two days in a row and it came to 2 different price, it was the exact same sandwich and the exact same can. Secondly the staff seem a bit all over the place and it just seems a bit frantic on some days, which has lead to them forgetting my order- on more than one occasion. Maybe this will iron out over time! What I can say is that it's always busy during the day! It's not a massive place but there is more than enough tables. I really like that they are doing something different it really has potential to be great! They have some great dishes like the sweet potato soups are always a winner and the chilli is great also!
