Although I asked to know what the menu would be in advance as I was going to have very limited time to have lunch during a dance workshop (and I have a vegan gluten-free diet), I was told by Colin via email that he couldn’t tell me what they would be making… I went to sylvan today only to discover that they had the one dish that I really had wanted which was polenta and mushroom (both vegan and gluten-free!). It was absolutely delicious! I took the coconut rice pudding with cherries and red wine to take out and that was also incredible. The staff were really responsive when I told them I only had a short time to eat because I then needed to return to my workshop. I was able to enjoy my meal and leave within 40 minutes. Absolutely perfect! Very happy and would highly recommend. (5 stars to the team working in the restaurant, minus star for Colin communication).

It's one of the best culinary experiences I've had in recent times and certainly the best *new* place I've visited. Everything from service, to food, to drinks options, to atmosphere, to prices was great. We arrived early at the off-chance we may me seated prior to our reservation (we'd had a long day and were tired of walking around for hours), they were able to accommodate for which we are grateful. The food was absolutely fantastic - there's a reason people keep mentioning the smoked tomatoes in yoghurt, but also the polenta with mushrooms (even our designated non-mushroom-eating person in the group enjoyed them), the chickpeas... The food is clearly freshly made and with raw ingredients (no UPF, no store-bought sauces). They had a very good selection of wines by the glass, we got a Gruner and a Riesling, both were properly chilled and served (kudos on the glasses). The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, at the end we paid about 117 (including the tip) for a party of 4 hungry people, 2 glasses of wine and 2 non-alc drinks. I would travel to Glasgow just to eat there again.

A perfect time at the Sylvan restaurant for my birthday 🎂 Good beers and wine ! The food is excellent and generous. The place is very nice too ! 🥰

Gorgeous restaurant and lovely, busy atmosphere on a Friday night. Crazy tasty vegetarian food prepared well - we ordered a lot but the stand outs were the chicory salad with hazelnuts and orange dressing, and also the smoked tomatoes and yoghurt. Great wine selection. Came with my boyfriend, will definitely be back soon. Thank you Charlie for looking after us. :)

This is one of the most gorgeous, atmospheric restaurants in Glasgow. The service was super friendly, and the food was exceptional. Highly recommend - the smoked tomatoes in yogurt are one of the nicest dishes I’ve ever eaten in my life. Great to see fully vegetarian food cooked and presented in this way - you immediately forget you’re even in a vegetarian restaurant. Huge wine list too - loved the orange wine.

We came for a special meal and we couldn’t have picked a better place. We had a fixed menu and the food was superb, portions were excellent and a perfect range. The atmosphere was great and the staff were so lovely, we will definitely be back next time we’re in Glasgow. So happy we came, thank you!!

Fantastic decor, lovely staff but the star of the show was the excellent food. Had the braised peas, roasted tomatoes and goats cheese. All tremendous paired with a lovely bottle of wine. The bread too just topped an absolutely fantastic evening. Thanks Sylvan and sorry my picture doesn’t do the food justice!!

Attended for a birthday dinner, there were five of us in total. The place itself is lovely but unfortunately the food was way over priced for what we got. The tomato dish had three pieces of tomato on it, not even a whole tomato and it was priced at £15. We got mushy peas with a burnt egg on the top. The only plate that was worth the money was the halloumi. We won’t be returning..
