The food is absolutely delicious but for me the staff really make the place special. They go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. Everyone is so friendly and funny, they have created an amazing atmosphere here. My group of friends have been going here for celebrations for years and we always will. Love it!!

The Battlefield Rest has the potential to be a very special restaurant indeed, but the dishes we had on this particular occasion were just lacking the wow factor, portion sizes weren't consistent and the starters were very skimpy. Staff were for the most part very professional. I had the crab linguine, which wasn't bad, but the king prawns were tiny and identical to ones you can pick up in a supermarket fridge and the plate was rather small. It was also slightly lacking flavour. Other members of our group had main courses that were much greater in quantity. I would love to be able to give the Battlefield Rest an extra star, but going by its reputation I expected more.

Went in here on a Monday with my friend, and wow! I don’t know how I haven’t been in here yet! The place has such a lovely atmosphere, we were greeted by a very lovely man who showed us over to our table and got us drinks!The food spoke for itself, fantastic! I got the slow cooked beef cheek ragu and my friend opted for one of the Calzones. Both were fantastic!Desserts were wonderful, chocolate cake was fantastic! Although the Turkish delight ice cream wasn’t my favourite! But I only opted to try it because it was an option so not a complaint at all! The flavours they had available were amazing.I will certainly be returning here with the rest of the gang! Thanks for a lovely meal.Parking: Very awkward to park nearby the area is notorious.

If you looking for a genuinely traditional, authentic Italian experience here in Glasgow. Then this is the place super cosy and full of family vibes. Especially during this time of the year.Vegetarian options: Fresh and nicely seasonedDietary restrictions: Pescatarian ‘chef’s kiss’

We had a table for 5 booked locally at another restaurant but when we arrived and were lamely told the head chef had SKIPped and they weren't serving anything that night we wandered along to the long established Battlefield Rest where the new managers couldn't do enough to accommodate us and make sure we were comfortable throughout what was a fabulous meal everyone of us enjoyed!! Thank you guys!! A great night and we will be back for sure:)

Great menu, difficult to chose with so many Great dishes on offer. Lunch menu , 2 courses for £15.90 is Great value for money. The food was plentiful, Great portion sizes and very tasty. Service was fantastic very attentative and friendly but not oppressive. The waiter Ian got it just right. (Thanks for the photo) Lovely style to the place and Great atmosphere. We will definitely return.
First visit. It is quite compact but the decor and curtains had a cosy feel about it. Given the choice of tables and we sat at a table next the the bar. Unfortunately this was just beside the cappuccino machine and coffee grinder on the bar which at ear level was very noisy and obtrusive. However it was our chaice so put up with it. The food was very good and hot!! Staff were efficient, if a wee bit too quick . Overall enjoyed the visit and the tiramisu was the best I've had in a while. Would recommend, tho maybe not the table by the coffee machine!!

Excellent 2 course lunch for two of us - mussels and very generous platter of antipasto followed by delicious pasta.Staff very friendly and helpful. Been meaning to come here for ages and very glad we did; definitely worth a visit. Looking forward to our next one.Parking: Free parking just up the hill.

Tried it with a couple of friends and we loved it. Delicious food and friendly & helpful staff, all whilst enjoying a beautiful building with some cute history. Highly recommend!

My wife and I popped in for lunch and we were lucky to get a table as it was very popular. My wife ordered the Beef cheek with Rigatoni pasta and I had the Mushroom and Leek Risotto rice, both were very well presented, warm and tasty! Service was a bit slow but that was down to the amount of bodies in the place and just a few staff. Well worth a visit and we will book next time!
