Outlier
Strathclyde, Glasgow - Café, Restaurant & Bakery
The exterior of this agreeably laid-back, under-the-railway-bridge spot is understated to the point of plain, with funky mustard tiles, stripped wood floors and an open kitchen bringing a sense of purpose. Cakes and pastries are displayed in a small shrine to baking, with pride of place going to the house special – Roman-inspired maritozzi. Want something savoury? Try a beef-shin toastie enriched with melting smoked Cheddar and cut with a sweet/sharp fennel jam. Outlier also opens as a laudably refined BYOB restaurant on Thursday to Sunday evenings (booking recommended). Expect the same creativity and deftness of touch in dishes such as lamb with green harissa and spiced yoghurt or red mullet with radish, rhubarb and a spiced strawberry dipping sauce.
