The Cafe
Cafe Gandolfi was opened in the old Cheesemarket in 1979, the first conversion in what is now the vibrant Merchant City area of Glasgow. Named after the noted family of photographers the Cafe has become famed for its stunning interior, principally through its display and usage of wooden furniture designed by Glasgow School of Art graduate Tim Stead. In addition, the Cafe boasts a delightful stained glass window designed by John Clarke which offers a colourful contrast to the rustic wooden restaurant interior.
The cafe's easy-going professionalism has attracted customers from far and wide, along with a few faces we are happy to see on a daily basis. Over the course of its 25 years thus far the cafe has built-up an enviable reputation for the unique provision of Scottish cuisine at affordable prices, all of which has resulted in its many favourable reviews and awards year after year.

Our Philosophy
Aside from feeding hunger, which helps, I believe that one of life's sweetest pleasures is food, its preparation and its eating. I have had some of my best times when I've been in the kitchen with friends-one person opening wine, another preparing salad, another washing up (very important!) with lots of fun, laughter and chat going on as a meal somehow effortlessly appears. Some of the best conversations, ideas and arguments have happened round the dinner table.
My attitude to food is to keep it simple, to try and source the best quality of ingredients available and to treat them with care.
I have always been very conscious of my Gaelic heritage and am very proud of the diversity that that background has brought to my life. I believe it has instilled a quiet confidence which allows me to delight in my Scottishness and its rich cultural reservoir. Thankfully this is becoming easier now as we have some wonderful suppliers of fresh organic Scottish produce which we can access for both restaurant and home.
