At KELP we take our time to make sure the food that goes on your plate is a fresh and local as possible. We source our seafood to be specifically Scottish and sustainable. We pride ourselves on using local suppliers for all our food. The fish people supply our fresh seafood daily. Our bread comes from Soja bakehouse, a family owned bakery in Cumbernauld. Our meat comes from ABR butchers, based in Bearsden.
Our executive chef, Christopher Hutchison, creates amazing, innovative dishes to be enjoyed and shared with friends and loved ones. We now have an AA rosette for 2023/2024 to highlight his and the teams amazing work. We are located on Cowcaddens Road, just around the corner from our sister restaurant, Ardnamurchan Restaurant and Bar and a stones throw from the theatre royal. Perfect for a meal before a show. Relax in our modern, airy restaurant and watch the chefs work in the open kitchen. Our signature dish is our crab doughnut, you'll be amazed!

    Fantastic food at Kelp. We shared the Ardnamurchan Venison Scrumpet, Crab Doughnut, KFC, Chicken & Black Garlic dumplings, Seaweed Roast Potatoes and a wee snack of the Mull Cheddar Custard. Every dish was fantastic! The black garlic dumplings were insane. Then for dessert we shared the Stout cake and the Burnt Basque Cheesecake. The stout cake was rich and delicious…..the winner for me was the cheesecake. It’s the best cheesecake I’ve ever had, so light and just incredible. The whole place is beautiful and welcoming, the staff are lovely too. Can’t recommend this place enough.

    First time visit and whilst not being huge seafood lovers were unnecessarily nervous. Fabulous meal, the menu descriptions don’t do the food justice. Service was very attentive and menu well explained as to how much to order. Amazing colours and flavours - will definitely be back again. 10/10

    Small plates excellent as usual, only disappointment was one of the desserts, Arctic roll, which was rock hard clearly straight from freezer. Needed at least half an hour to soften, time we didn't have. Sent most of it back but wasn't taken off bill.
