Cafe Gandolfi

Frommer's Review

For many local foodies in the Merchant City, this is their favorite: it offers solid cooking at the right price and a friendly ambience. Owner Seumas MacInnes hails from a Highland/Hebredian family and so the black pudding comes down from Stornoway on the Isle of Lewis while the haggis hails from Dingwall. Particularly recommended is the black pudding, Gandolfi's creamy Cullen skink (smoked haddock chowder), or one of the light pasta dishes. Although if you're hungry, go for the steak sandwich. The ground floor room has original, organic, and comfortable wooden furniture created by the Tim Stead workshop in Scotland. A recent addition to the premises is Bar Gandolfi up the steel staircase in the attic space. With a ceiling skylight, however, it is anything but dark and dank.
