Ubiquitous Chip

Ubiquitous Chip Review

Occupying a converted stable behind the Hillhead underground station, this restaurant is an institution among members of Glasgow's media and theater communities, who most days can be found in the busy bar. The more informal upstairs brasserie serves imaginative starters and luxurious ciabatta "pieces" (the local term for sandwiches). The ground-floor restaurant has a large cobbled yard with a glass roof, much greenery, and a fish pond. The menu offers fish and game dishes that vary from week to week. Try the poached halibut with watercress and spinach pistou, or the roast wood pigeon with cauliflower puree. There's an excellent lunch and pretheater set menu for £19.95. The fixed-price dinner menu is £34.95 for two courses and £39.95 for three. Booking ahead is well advised.
