Le Petit Cochon

Le Petit Cochon is a laidback and understated addition to the West End bar scene, just seconds from Kelvingrove Park on the museum side. The refurbishment of the traditional space has made the most of its original features, with elaborate cornicing, exposed brickwork and large windows that flood the room with light.

Billing itself as a bistro that serves wine, it somehow feels like the other way round. The wine list is rightfully an area of pride, with almost 50 available by the glass and suited to the Northern European dishes on the restaurant’s main menu. Brunch also runs every day from 10am until the civilised hour of 4pm, by which time most of us can drag ourselves anywhere for eggs, especially if there’s a wine to match.
