At KELP we take our time to make sure the food that goes on your plate is a fresh and local as possible. We source our seafood to be specifically Scottish and sustainable. We pride ourselves on using local suppliers for all our food. The fish people supply our fresh seafood daily. Our bread comes from Soja bakehouse, a family owned bakery in Cumbernauld. Our meat comes from ABR butchers, based in Bearsden.
Our executive chef, Christopher Hutchison, creates amazing, innovative dishes to be enjoyed and shared with friends and loved ones. We now have an AA rosette for 2023/2024 to highlight his and the teams amazing work. We are located on Cowcaddens Road, just around the corner from our sister restaurant, Ardnamurchan Restaurant and Bar and a stones throw from the theatre royal. Perfect for a meal before a show. Relax in our modern, airy restaurant and watch the chefs work in the open kitchen. Our signature dish is our crab doughnut, you'll be amazed!

    Excellent food and service. Slight delay on some of the food, particularly as it was quiet. However, we were enjoying our conversation so it wasn't a problem for us.

    Everything was perfect for my mum’s big birthday dinner. Most importantly, the food was delicious and the service attentive. The only minor drawback was the lack of even a brief pause between our oysters and the arrival of the first of our small plates, but this in no way impacted the overall fantastic experience.
