Brekkie and Brunch

 As you can probably tell from previous posts most of my socialising involves food, even if it is just a walk in the park! But for me, there's nothing better than catching up with your friends over brunch. On my days off I don't plan on being up early enough for breakfast, and I'm never quite ready for lunch- so brunch is the perfect in-between! I've written about two of my favourite places to brunch in Glasgow- so keep reading to find out more!

Tribeca

Tribeca is a classic favourite- if in doubt I always know Tribeca isn't far! There are a number of Tribeca diners all over Glasgow; West End (great for Glasgow Uni students!), Merchant City (great for Strathclyde and GCC students!) and of course Giffnock (right beside the train station, and has free parking!).  I've been to each of the Tribeca's in Glasgow and can soundly say I've never been disappointed- the staff are friendly and the service is always great! They offer a number of breakfast options and I'm a great fan of most of them.
The Brooklyn is the perfect American style pancakes with loads of toppings to choose from (Nutella and strawberries are my friend's go to)- you certainly won't go hungry either, as their portion sizes are great! The Varick is a personal favourite of mine- 3 slices of delicious French Toast (for toppings fresh strawberries and maple syrup is the way to go) but there are plenty of options whether you've got a sweet tooth or are more of a savoury fan!
Tribeca has some great offers on! You can get a bottomless coffee and toast with your choice of topping for just £5.95, and STUDENTS get a 30% discount Sundays through Fridays after 3pm for the late risers- be sure to check out Tribeca for dinner as well- their burgers are amazing and with a 30% discount- its too good to miss!!

Check out this Groupon offer for Brunch for 2 at Tribeca - Dumbarton Road!!

The Brunch Club

How could I talk about brunch in Glasgow without mentioning The Brunch Club on Old Dumbarton Road?  There's a great variety of dishes here, catering to all dietary requirements, with vegan and vegetarian options! I came here for the first time to have a catch up with my friend before uni earlier this week, and we were both so impressed with the delicious food, competitive prices and of course amazing service!
My friend went for The Avo- which was eggs, avocado on toast with fresh fruit- when I saw it coming to the table I was beginning to regret my order- until I saw my French Toast arrive and I knew I'd picked right with my go-to favourite! Both of our dishes were fantastic, we could not fault the food or service one bit. I've already made my next brunch plans for here, as I can't wait to test out the rest of the menu!

Be sure to check out Tribeca and The Brunch Club- they both offer great service with fantastic food (and coffee).  Thanks for reading this week's post- feel free to leave a comment letting me know what you thought, and give any recommendations for brunch spots around Glasgow! Look out for my final blog post next week!

The Oor Wullie Big Bucket Trail National Launch

  Three of the main children's hospital charities across the country have come together, partnering with DC Thomson  to launch 2019's  'Oor Wullie Big Bucket Trail' . The three charities,  Glasgow Children's Hospital Charity , the  ARCHIE Foundation , and  Edinburgh Children's Hospital Charity  hope to raise awareness and much-needed funds to support and continue the extraordinary work they do.  The trail will see Scotland showcase the biggest art trail in the world, visiting over 150 locations including cities like Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness.  A call to artists will come about in the next month, and local businesses will have the opportunity to sponsor each of the statues, allowing them to then be auctioned at the end of summer 2019, raising vital monies for the three charities. One of these businesses, Arnold Clark has already jumped on board and not only sponsored but designed one of the statues by dip...

The Island of a Thousand Bicycles

 During the summer a friend and I drove to Largs and caught the ferry over to Millport.  Millport (Isle of Cumbrae) is a place that I've been going to since I was a child for family days out, but haven't been to in years so it was nostalgic to go back recently. The ferry prices are really fair, and there are regular buses that are in sync with the ferry times, so you don't have to worry about taking your car over to the island. One of the main attractions on the island is the cycle route, hence where it gets it's name 'The Island of a thousand Bicycles'.  So naturally, when we arrived in the town centre the first thing we did was head to  Mapes of Millport - one of the island's first and number 1 bike hire (and toy shop) - to hire bikes to cycle around the island! There are bikes suitable for all ages, you can even get bikes with carriers for your dog!  There's the choice of mountain bikes, town bikes, tandems, 3-seater bikes, 8-seater bikes ...
