Ellie Forbes decided to check out the latest addition to Glasgow's coolest neighborhood, Strathbungo, The Loveable Rogue. It's no surprise that this neighborhood was recently named one of the coolest in the world by Time Out. And with the opening of The Loveable Rogue's third location in the Southside of the city, it seems like a perfect fit.
The restaurant, owned by local couple Joe and Amalia Lazzerini, is already well-known for its Sunday roast at its other two locations in the east and west end. However, Ellie was eager to try out their new a la carte menu at the newest spot.
As soon as she arrived, Ellie felt the cozy and welcoming neighborhood vibe that The Loveable Rogue is known for. The menu boasted delicious home-style dishes like roast lamb rump and chicken kyiv. But what caught her eye were the quirky cocktails, like the Jammy B*stard with its mix of pink gin, pomegranate, cherry, lemon, and bitters. Her dining companion opted for the refreshing Apple Bottom Dreams, made with Calvados, St Germain liqueur, apple, citrus, and Prosecco.
To their delight, a plate of snacks was brought out with their drinks. The golden brown crispy smoked haddock arancini, rich cauliflower croquettes, and delicious chicken parfait were the perfect start to their meal. Ellie couldn't wait to try more.
For her main course, she chose the perfectly cooked roast pork loin. It was served with a sweet apple and date puree to balance out the richness of the black pudding mash, and topped with a deep, meaty sauce. It was a true triumph. Her dining companion's chicken kyiv was also succulent and came with a side of creamy cauliflower cheese. But the real stars of the show were the sides; a salty slab of the most delicious pomme anna she had ever tasted, served with a rich truffle mayo, and the spicy charred broccoli sprinkled with smoked almonds and a mustard dressing.
With room for dessert, they couldn't resist trying the dark chocolate cremeux with blackberries and hazelnuts, and the sticky date pudding with caramelized banana and vanilla ice cream. It was a match made in heaven.
It's no wonder why The Loveable Rogue has become a popular spot in Glasgow's coolest neighborhood. Their food is familiar and comforting, but executed perfectly. It's no surprise that they have become the latest addition to the neighborhood, and Ellie's guess is that they will fit right in.
Her advice? Don't skip out on the puddings. And make sure to check out their other locations in the city's east and west end.
