Dinner in Giffnock: Where to Eat, Drink and Make a Night of It!
Whether you're catching up with friends, planning a date night, or just treating yourself to something special, Giffnock is full of spots that turn dinner into a full evening experience. From fresh Neapolitan pizza to tapas-style bites and posh fish and chips, there’s something for every taste—and even a bit of entertainment too.
Here’s your guide to some of Giffnock’s must-try dinner destinations:
🍷 Ça Va Bar & Brasserie
Step inside this beautifully designed bar and brasserie and you’ll feel like you’ve been whisked away to a Parisian bistro. Ça Va brings together British and French favourites, with a carefully curated wine list and one of the largest outdoor terraces in Glasgow’s Southside—complete with heated tables.
Keep an eye on their socials too… karaoke nights and themed evenings pop up regularly and always bring great energy.

🎶 Southside Bar & Restaurant
Offering a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern inspired menu with shareable meze plates, Southside is perfect for foodies who love to try a bit of everything. Think halloumi fries, spiced lamb, and colourful salads served up in a warm, buzzy setting.
There’s often live music and other events too, making it more than just a dinner stop—it’s a proper night out.

🐟 CATCH
CATCH takes your classic fish and chips and gives it a luxurious twist. Yes, they do haddock and chips better than most, but the menu also features lobster, burgers, and even old-school fish finger butties—done right.
You can dine in at their stylish restaurant or grab a fresh takeaway if you're in the mood for a chilled night at home. Their bar is stocked with craft beers, wine, and bubbly, making it just the right spot for a casual yet indulgent meal.

🍝 LUCALI by Andiamo
After 25 years in the area, this beloved Italian spot has had a refresh—bringing a slice of Naples to Giffnock. The team still offers the same warm welcome but now with a fresh menu featuring hand-crafted pasta and traditional Neapolitan pizzas made with top quality ingredients.
It’s stylish, modern, and made for lingering over dinner with a glass of wine or two.

🌮 El Jefe’s
If tacos and margaritas are your thing, El Jefe’s delivers the goods. Bursting with flavour, colour, and attitude, this Mexican-inspired spot serves up some of the tastiest tacos in the city. It’s casual, upbeat, and perfect for a fun night out.

🍛 Turban Tandoori
A long-standing gem in the heart of Giffnock, Turban Tandoori has been serving up authentic Indian dishes since 1982. Expect rich curries, flavourful starters, and friendly service from a team that knows their stuff. A firm local favourite for a reason.

🏡 Orchard Park Hotel
Not just a place to stay, Orchard Park’s restaurant offers a cosy, welcoming space for dinner with family or a romantic night out. With a focus on quality, comfort, and hospitality, this family-run venue is a well-loved part of the Giffnock community.
