Fantastic fully vegan menu

Mono is wonderful, really excellent options that are a bit different from the day-to-day vegan fare you expect. Lovely to have vegan versions of beloved Scottish classics (vegan pizza crunch😍😍). Took two non-vegans who both loved their meal - between us we had the pizza crunch, to-fish supper, and a burger. All very satisfied!! Really lovely, attentive, and helpful staff.

Good food, Fun vibe

They were out of the haggis, so I had to settle for the haggis burger and chips, which was good...hopefully I will be able to find a vegan version of haggis somewhere during my travels.

Pros: Good food, Fun vibe

Good vegan food

Been a few times but mainly come for the Mac and cheese. I have tried a few things but I found the tofish quite greasy. Mac and cheese is the best vegan one I’ve tried.

Good comfort food, great desserts

We went as a party of 3 on a Sunday night. I was keen on a pizza crunch but the rest of the menu didn't look that exciting, some solid looking comfort food. The desserts we had were excellent though.

Pizza crunch: I couldn't resist the opportunity to have my first ever pizza crunch. The batter outside was great, it had good crunch without being too thick or greasy. The pizza inside was pleasant, a nice soft texture from the base and some flavour coming the sauce and cheese. I enjoyed the chips on the side too.

Haggis (side dish): this was great. I don't really know what haggis is supposed to be like so I can't comment in authenticity. This was a delicious mincy, oatly, lentily dish that was really well seasoned.

Aubergine parm: the sauce was tomatoey and rich, but needed a touch more seasoning. The texture was perfect, it held its form but not tough but there weren't a lot of pieces in there. It came with a huge wedge of garlic bread that was robust enough for mopping and scooping the sloppy parm. Side salad was fine. Temperature was perfect - hot, but not scalding.

Fish and chips: the fish was just tofu wrapped in seaweed and battered, so there was no fishy texture, which is a shame but clear from the menu. Tofish is always a bit unremarkable, but it was fine and made for some hearty comfort food. The chips on the side were very good!

Raspberry sugared donut s'more: this was quite the exciting treat. It was a sugar donut sliced in half and topped with raspberry sugar. Between the two donut halves there was vanilla ice cream, marshmallows and chocolate fudge sauce. This was delicious and everything worked well together to make for great dessert.

Chocolate tart: The base was chocolatey and had a nice texture. The chocolate ganache was delicious, so rich and tasty. The strawberries and cream cut through the richness beautifully and made it very easy to eat.

Very good

We had lunch AND dinner on the same day, so good to have a fully vegan menu and the food is so tasty. Helpings are on the large size for me but am sure most people are more than happy with that.
We have eaten here before when visiting Glasgow and it seems there are more pizzas and burgers on offer than before. I would have preferred to have more veg based dishes but again personal preference. It's so lovely to eat in a vegan restaurant as none at all where I live.

Excited to order from a fully vegan menu. We had lunch dishes but keen to return for full meals. The food was excellent and the servers so friendly. A lovely place and we will definitely be back!

I think everything is deep fried here (not a bad thing)

The tofish was nice but not overly fishy (maybe a good thing for some). I’d get it again.
My friend got the haggis and was disappointed because it didn’t come quite as described and you didn’t get a lot for the cost (£17!!).
Still a lovely place and I’d come back if I’m ever in Glasgow again

Interesting venue

Our table inside sat on a stage with speakers set up, so it looks like Mono hosts live music. Fittingly, in a corner of the place sits a little record store, fittingly dubbed 'monorail', no doubt a reference to the location situated beneath a railroad track.
The food was decent, although we had to wait for quite a bit of time, even while the place wasn't busy at all. The tofish was carried heavily by the dill-dip, it could've been a bit fishier in my opinion, and the chips were fried too long. The soup of the day and the mac n' cheese really needed some salt, but that was easily fixed. I still give 4 stars because it's an interesting venue with a full vegan menu, so there's a lot to love.

Outside seating available.

Fully Vegan Heaven

A real Glasgow institution that knows exactly what they are doing when it comes to vegan food. This was my partner and I’s first visit here and definitely won’t be our last. We could not believe that everything was vegan. We had black pudding fritters that I truly believe meat eaters would not realise were vegan, a mini mac and cheese that was absolutely amazing with a perfect texture and did not taste “fake” in any way, the haggis burger which was deliciously meaty (I actually got the ick towards the very end as it seemed so realistic that I couldn’t finish it) and my partner got the nduja pizza with hot honey. We also added some dips, I got the blue cheese dip and she got the garlic and herb dip both of which were delicious. As someone who loved cheese before becoming vegan the blue cheese dip literally could have made me cry, the flavours were spot on. If you are looking for a vegan spot in Glasgow this is the place to be.

Pros: Inventive Food, Something for everyone , Lively atmosphere

Really special

Completely vegan. But better than that, it's clear that they love doing good fresh food. Beer and whiskey really tasty too. Oh, and the staff were very friendly. Wish I lived nearer!

Perfect vegan place

This place is entirely vegan with lots of takes on classics. The food was delicious and for two people having three course with two soft drinks it was under £60!! What a bargain. Some dates they even have live events

Just fine

We visited mid-afternoon on a weekend and ordered the truffle burger, kimchi fries and char siu tofu bowl. Great to be able to support a fully vegan place but wouldn’t go back for food as the quality didn’t match the price.

Amazing hearty food!

This place was better than we expected it to be. We had the Mac & cheese and tofish & chips and both were delicious. Really quirky building as well and super friendly staff. In general had a lovely meal!

Smaakvol vegan eten met een alternatieve vibe

Bij Mono in Glasgow kun je vegan eten. Ik heb hier echt heerlijk gegeten: een rijke linzensoep met tomaat en perfect gegrilde asperges.

Mono is meer dan alleen een restaurant. De alternatieve sfeer maakt het extra bijzonder: terwijl je geniet van je eten, kun je ook tussen de platen snuffelen. En als je geluk hebt, is er live muziek.

Tasty lunch!

We are here for lunch and enjoyed our food. I ordered the loaded kebab fries, and while the fries and sauces were good, the seitan was oddly seasoned- it had a Chinese five spice seasoning, which didn’t really go with the rest of the dish. They also didn’t have the creme brulee and didn’t tell us this until after ordering it. I got the pumpkin spice donut s’more for dessert, and the donut was a little burned and also tasted more like a bagel, but the ice cream was delicious!

I enjoyed the food, however I wish they would marinate the tofu to have more taste. The crème brûlée was amazing.

Friendly place with wide choice

Friendly place and a very chilled venue. My char sui was very tasty and the sides of a delicious walnut and blue cheese salad, and the fennel chilli sausage were even better. It's so nice to have such a wide choice including vegan pizzas on the menu. I hope it's not too long before I return.

Pros: Good selection on menu, Tasty food
