BLOC+

BLOC+:

For this week’s instalment of the GlasgowEats blog I visited BLOC+. BLOC+ is located on bath streets and sits below street level, with a small outdoor seating area. We were able to be seated straight away, this is not always possible as it can be busy and the restaurant doesn’t currently take bookings. Inside the restaurant is very casual with a relaxed atmosphere.  

 

One of the appeals of BLOC+ is the deals that they offer on every day of the week with a different cuisine discounted each day:

-       Monday- Macaroni cheese (£3)

-       Tuesday- Steak burger (£3)

-       Wednesday- Steak (£5)

-       Thursday- Kentucky fried chicken breasts (£4)

-       Friday- Hotdog (£4)

In addition to these special discounted menu items there is also a large range of other options that run at full price and are available to order on any day or at any time. BLOC+ used to offer all deals on a Sunday, unfortunately they have recently discontinued this promotion.

 


I visited the restaurant on a Wednesday so therefore ordered a steak with peppercorn poutine fries, along with a side of chilli nachos to share. This was brought quickly to the table and although the steak was maybe not the best cut of meat it was cooked well and very tasty; for £5 it is hard to complain. The poutine fries (costing an additional £2) were an enjoyable side and and made the meal slightly more substantial. They came covered in peppercorn sauce as well as melted mature cheddar cheese. The nachos however I would not recommend as the cheese was unmelted and other the toppings cold. Costing £4.95 I felt that these were overpriced in comparison the other menu items, especially when taking the poor quality into consideration.   

 


Overall, I enjoyed my visit to BLOC+. Yet again it offers tasty food for an extremely reasonable price tag, ideal for students eating out on a budget. Although the food was maybe not of the highest quality, this is to be expected for cost. The permeant menu items that are not discounted offer a higher quality of eating.

Locale Taco Tuesday

Locale Taco Tuesday:  For my second blog entry I will be exploring the Locale pub and more specifically the deals that they offer on a Tuesday. The Locale is located at the end of North Street, just off the motorway, and although there is large amounts of traffic noise at the front of the bar, once inside this disappears and can also not be heard from the beer garden at the rear of the property.  The appeal of visiting the locale on a Tuesday is the taco and frozen margarita discounts that are offered. The frozen margaritas were freshly mixed and very refreshing, this paired with a price tag of only £3 was a large positive for the Locale. There are three different options in regard to the tacos, a battered fish, special beef, and chicken filling. When ordering, the tacos come in sets of 3, costing only £3. To start with I chose to try the beef and chicken tacos, receiving three of each, before ultimately ordering the fish as well. The taste and freshness was excellent, and the...

Dennistoun Bar-B-Que: For my final blog post I will be addressing my recent visit to Dennistoun Bar-B-Que. This restaurant is located in the centre of Dennistoun, just a short walk east of the city centre. Inside the restaurant is industrial with the kitchen open and visible in part to the those in the seating area. The restaurant was empty when we arrived at around 6:00 on Thursday night so we were able to easily find seats.     Dennistoun Bar-B-Que offers a large variety of Barbequed quiesces like burgers, buns filled with pulled meats and a number of classic BBQ sides. Orders are placed by customers directly into the kitchen and are paid at that time. I ordered the beef brisket bun which came with pickles and slaw; however, fries were not included. The cost of the bun was £8.95.  The restaurant also offers a range of different drinks and more craft beers than would conventionally be offered.     The food took around 10 minuets to be served. The portion s...
