Fave vegan Restaurant❤️ - Edit
Been to a few vegan/vegan friendly restaurants in glasgow and Stereo by far the best! Lots of options and great desserts as well. Went on a Saturday night and was busy but not overly crowded/loud - nice atmosphere. Staff v friendly, food amazing!! Non-vegan people loved as well, just slightly hard to find, not on the main street. Food arrives SUPER quick.
Pros: Refried bean dish😍, Puddings, Atmosphere/staff
Cons: None

I will never come back here - Edit
I've been here several times before and mostly liked the experience. However, the last time I went there I had a really shitty time, which led to me walking out of the cafe. Basically I was very rudely asked to put on my shoes. I take my shoes off all the time as I generally enjoy to sit cross-legged. I tried to find out the reason for this from the manager and nothing substantive was given - apparently pre-empted a customer complaint even though no-one had complained. I like to be in places where I'm accepted for who and what I am. I didn't feel this here and won't come back again. I was angry at myself because I left quietly without finishing my meal. I wished I'd stayed there and refused to put my shoes on and made a scene.
Cons: You have to wear shoes, Not sure what their policy would be on flip-flops, Rude staff

I've died and gone to Stereo. - Edit
Arriving cold and hungry at Central Station in Glasgow, I was over the moon to find a Vegan restaurant conveniently situated nearby. As a non-animal eater, there are very few restaurants where I can eat everything on the menu... but this is one. Excellent food and service, surrounded by good vibes and great music. You must go there if you're in Glasgow.

Great food and space! - Edit
I can't believe I haven't reviewed this venue before as I come here pretty regularly! Although Mono is very much my favourite vegan venue in Glasgow, I really like Stereo for a bunch of reasons: it's conveniently close to both Glasgow Central and Queen Street stations; they offer delicious all-vegan food; they have a great music and events venue downstairs; and the atmosphere and staff are both brilliant. I've come here for food, film showings and gigs and I've always had a great time. Highly recommended; I'll certainly be coming back, not least for some of their very tasty pizzas!
Pros: Great vegan food, Good venue with lots going on

good choices - Edit
great cafe/bar. would be god for a drink if you don't want to eat, it is hidden away, but that half the charm of stereo.
plenty of choice and nice and busy. was let down by some bad service, and although polite, need to get more organised.
Had a new tonight which was really good, the falafel was a wee bit disappointing but everything else was tip top. Really busy and considering that the service was pretty good.

All vegan with great variety - Edit
It's a tough call as Glasgow is so good for vegan food but Stereo probably has my favourite menu. The buffalo cauliflower, cashew cheese sauce, and chips are among my favourites, they almost always have a special dessert that's amazing (a cheesecake of generous portion or a cookie sandwich), and service is usually pretty quick and better than it has been in the past. I would definitely advise booking as - fortunate for them but unfortunate for hungry vegans - of an evening it's often full of people drinking wine and beer, probably non-vegans not realising (nor caring) what wonderful pizzas, desserts, and tapas dishes are available for dining needs. Go vegan already if you're going to stop me getting a seat! There are meat places out there for you! (Rant)

Wonderful Staff - Edit
All vegan menu of comfort food. Haggis, bean quesadillas, brownies with ice cream, French fries, cookies, salads, ALL really tasty !!! I wasn't a fan of the hummus (too bland for me) not of the tomato gnocchi sauce (the sausage in it wasn't very tasty).
Pros: great variety and nice desserts
Cons: not "the" place for hummus ;)

Amazing - Great Food. - Edit
Great food - I ordered the nachos with haggis bits and it was fantastic, came in a massive portion. The cashew cheese was extremely tasty, all very affordable too.
Pros: Massive Portions, Great Laid Back Atmosphere, Gender Neutral Bathrooms

Great selection - Edit
Vegan, laid back, indie style bar/restaurant for informal dining. They wide selection of food on offer, with daily specials and the menu changes often.
I will second a previous posters recommendation of the tempeh "TLT" sandwich (tempeh instead of bacon). Delicious (huge!) sandwich. The buffalo cauliflower on the tapas menu is also highly recommended.
Pros: vegan, big portions, good value
Cons: bring back the haggis fritters

Lovely - Edit
The atmosphere in here was really nice, staff were completely lovely and the person behind the bar offered to make iced tea as they did not have bottles. The food was really good and it's also very close to Glasgow Central which is really handy for the non-drivers! Very reasonably priced aswell! Will definitely go again and again!

Favorite place in Glasgow - Edit
Stereo is somewhere between a restaurant and a pub, it can be noisy but the food is great, very creative.
The staff is friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is unique.
We are sure to go there at least once every time we are in Glasgow.
Pros: Great food, Friendly and attentive staff, Cool atmosphere
Cons: Can be noisy on a Friday night

OK food if you're not in a hurry - Edit
Dark and grotty atmosphere with wobbly, uncomfortable furniture. Music is sometimes too loud, even at lunchtime.
The mains and tapas are usually fairly decent. The sandwiches are good. When the soup of the day is tomato-based it is always too spicy.
The desserts are consistently terrible. One of yesterday's specials was a "pecan, walnut and maple crumble with vanilla ice cream and chocolate orange sauce", which sounded promising. The crumble itself seemed like an afterthought, because there was very little of it. The "sauce" was a lump so dense I couldn't put my spoon through it but had to scrape at it. I tend to get a dessert about twice a year, and to my disappointment they're always still awful.
There is a high staff turnover and service is often poor. Sometimes I've waited 15 minutes for someone to take my order, even when the place wasn't busy. I never bother paying at the table because it takes ages to get the bill and pay. Going up to the bar to settle the bill is much faster. I have often struggled to fit a meal into a one-hour lunch break despite working only 3 minutes away.
Best buy: The tempeh sandwich (TLT).
Pros: Mains and sandwiches
Cons: Service

Awesome pub grub in a laid back venue. The polenta chips are divine! I also had the haggis wrap which was yummy. Cheap tapas on Mondays. Good wine. Go there!!
Pros: yummy, big portions, friendly staff

Love it! - Edit
Really tasty food, massive portions, good deals (5 tapas for £12 on Mondays is an incredible value for money, sooo goooood too). Always busy which is great, nice and cosy atmosphere.
Pros: Delicious vegan food, good value, handy location.
Cons: Quite expensive drinks.
