Used to dine in their original restaurant in Finnieston, this outlet is so much bigger and well decorated. Attentive and friendly staff. The seafood was fresh and very well cooked. A little pricey but well worth it.
Fantastic seafood quality and a lovely atmosphere at Crabshakk Botanics. The clams were fresh, generous, and full of flavour — exactly what you hope for from a seafood restaurant. Now, I must confess: I am Neapolitan… so pasta for me is almost a religious matter 😄. The linguine were slightly overcooked for my southern Italian standards — but perhaps that’s just my DNA speaking. Luckily, the quality of the seafood more than made up for it. Overall, a very enjoyable experience, and I’ll happily return… maybe next time with my Neapolitan passport hidden in my pocket. 🇮🇹🦪
This was our second meal in Glasgow. We found it be quite expensive The crabcakes 3 for £17 were not great value. The scallops were delicious £29 for 7. Fat chips were excellent too. Whitebait was a little overcooked and not to my taste. Several items on the menu were MP. The fruits de mer was £175ish - sadly over our budget and more than we paid in London recently. The staff were super friendly and helpful and the place has a lovely warm stylish vibe.
Amazing seafood restaurant in the West End that feels classy with fresh quality seafood. The oysters are the best I’ve tried, the bloody Mary dressing is refreshing and pickled celery on top of it is the highlight, the oysters tasted super fresh! Our favourite dish is the seared scallops in anchovy butter, it was served sizzling, tastes buttery and tender! Another favourite dish of our is the charred octopus, the octopus melted in our mouth, the chorizo and pepper cassoulet is super tasty and flavourful! The dressed crab was full of crab meat and crab roe, great dish. The whole john dory in chicken butter sauce is great too, good fish and meat easily off the bone, the sauce gives the dish a lot of flavour, I like the mushrooms in the sauce too, being a lot of umami. Great service, plenty of seatings, very nice atmosphere, highly recommend for all seafood lovers, we would be back for sure to the more food!
this restaurant feels swanky, classy and sleek and entering it makes you feel like you have a high flying job working in design. the seating is comfortable, it is not too loud and the lighting is flattering to the food and your company. we ordered mostly off of the specials menu and were not disappointed; the oysters were fresh and delightful, the crab was creamy with a subtle umami flavour, the scallops were juicy and tender, and the octopus was cooked to perfection, not too rubbery and accompanied by beautifully seasoned hummus and chickpeas. truly could not be happier.
