About Number 16 Restaurant
The Spotlight on Number 16 Restaurant

Refined Flavors in the Heart of Glasgow’s West End

Number 16 Restaurant is a cozy, stylish spot nestled on Byres Road in Glasgow’s vibrant West End. Just a short cab ride or brisk walk from many of the city’s live music venues, this Modern European gem offers a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. With its warm service, exposed stone walls, and seasonal menu, Number 16 feels both upscale and inviting—perfect for a pre-show bite or post-concert wind-down.

Why Concert-goers love it

Its close proximity to major music venues makes Number 16 a smart pick for concert-goers wanting to avoid long waits. The service is known for being efficient and attentive, helping you get to your gig on time. The ambiance strikes a balance between energetic and intimate, ideal for pre-show excitement without overwhelming noise. While there's no fixed pre-theatre menu, the concise à la carte offerings change regularly and are served promptly.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a memorable meal before a night out
  • Solo travelers enjoying a quiet dish before catching a big act
  • Couples on a romantic concert weekend
  • Fans who love a local, lively pre-show scene
  • Budget-conscious music lovers – it's not cheap, but the quality makes it great value

What People Say

Diners rave about the inventive seasonal dishes, especially the locally-sourced meats and creative vegetarian options. The service is frequently described as friendly and professional, with staff who are happy to accommodate time-sensitive diners heading to shows. The atmosphere is intimate, with many reviewers calling it a “hidden gem” in Glasgow’s food scene.

Areas for Improvement

With only a few tables, Number 16 can book up quickly—especially on weekends—so reservations are highly recommended. The compact size also means it's not ideal for very large groups, and there's limited space to linger if you're early for your table. Prices are mid-to-high range, which might not suit tight budgets, but most agree the quality is worth it.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers seeking quick, high-quality dining in a relaxed setting, Number 16 is a standout choice in Glasgow’s West End.
