Brel

Brel is a Glasgow institution. Found in the studenty West End, and nestled in it's beating heat, Ashton Lane, it's just one of those solid boozers that serves great food in a great atmosphere. As part of a day out, playing at tourists by taking the Open Top Bus Tour, we got off at Byers Road and headed round to the old haunt for lunch.

Oh, how I just love it in here. We were a huge group of adults and children, and they accommodated us wonderfully. The cider was cold and crisp, and the food was excellent and I was ready to park up for the rest of the afternoon. Oh, the memories of being young, free and single!

Just writing about Brel makes me long for it. It's that good.

Verdict: 10/10 ​Gluten free marked on the menu so it's a simple ordering process; the staff are knowledgable; and the whole place is just easy and relaxed, and wonderful. Take. Me. Back.

I had the Thai mussels (lemongrass moules) with mushrooms instead of fries because they do have a shared fryer. They were delicious!

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Update: I am no longer sure that they have a dedicated fryer. I've eaten here several times without any issues. I love their 6 before 6pm deal! Make sure to mention that you are ordering gluten free. They have always swapped out the bread for a salad (my request) for no extra charge.

I am not 100% sure if the fryer is dedicated. They say it is when I ask, but be safe and ask!
