Swinging Into Flavour: Unleashing Your Inner Tarzan at Ubiquitous Chip
If Glasgow had a secret garden for food lovers, Ubiquitous Chip would be it! Hidden away in Ashton Lane, this place is a fairy-tale greenhouse where vines dangle from the ceiling, sunlight streams through a glass roof, and every dish looks and tastes like a masterpiece. It is part jungle, and part fine dining. Whether you’re here for a romantic meal, a fancy catch-up, or just to sip wine under the foliage, Ubiquitous Chip will truly bring out your inner Tarzan, making you want to swing back time and time again.
Step inside, and you’ll feel instantly transported. It’s as if you’ve wandered into a hidden greenhouse where nature and gastronomy collide in the most elegant way. The dining area is an explosion of greenery— ivy, monstera, and ferns cascading from balconies under a glass roof. This place is a MUST visit during the summertime; the sunlight filters through the glass roof during the day, giving it a dreamy, greenhouse-like glow. They also have a rooftop seating area, which is cute and intimate. I would definitely recommend checking it out for those summer evening Aperol Spritzes!
Then, there’s the food, which is just delicious! Take the venison burger, for example. This isn’t your average pub grub— it’s a burger that means business. It is juicy, rich, and packed with a deep, gamey flavour. It’s the kind of bite that makes you pause mid-chew just to appreciate what’s happening in your mouth. Topped with all the right accompaniments and sandwiched in a perfectly toasted bun— truly a showstopper! Next is their Shetland cod. This isn’t just a fillet of fish tossed on a plate; it is a buttery, delicate, and perfectly crispy-skinned masterpiece. The kind of dish that flakes at the touch of a fork and melts in your mouth, with a balance of freshness and richness. The rest of the menu is a love letter to modern Scottish cuisine with local ingredients that are transformed into dishes that are as stunning as they are delicious!
Of course, no great meal is complete without the perfect drink, and Ubiquitous Chip delivers in style. Whether it’s a deep red, a crisp white, or a dram of whisky that feels like a warm hug from the Highlands, this restaurant knows how to pour a little magic into every glass!
Whether you’re here for a romantic meal, a fancy catch-up, or just a drink under the vines, Ubiquitous Chip is a place you don’t want to miss. It’s a taste of Glasgow’s best, wrapped in an atmosphere so enchanting, you’ll be planning your next visit before you even leave your seat.
