The Skillet Menu

The Skillet in Glasgow’s West End is a charming neighbourhood eatery that blends hearty comfort food with elevated flavours. Having sampled a wide selection from The Skillet Menu, I can confidently say this is not your average brunch spot-it’s a thoughtful culinary experience that balances rustic charm with refined execution.

One of the menu’s standout strengths is its commitment to fresh, locally sourced ingredients, evident in dishes like the slow-cooked brisket hash and the buttermilk pancakes. The brisket hash delivers rich, savoury depth with melt-in-your-mouth meat, complemented by crispy potatoes and perfectly poached eggs. Meanwhile, the pancakes-tall, fluffy, and generously topped with seasonal fruit-strike the right balance between indulgence and lightness.

Vegetarians and flexitarians will find satisfying options too. The smashed avocado toast is far from basic, elevated with pickled shallots, chili flakes, and tangy feta. And the vegan-friendly options, such as the grilled mushroom stack with hummus and dukkah, show thoughtful curation-not just an afterthought.

Compared to other brunch-focused spots in Glasgow, The Skillet sets itself apart through consistency and creative flair. While places like Kember & Jones or Singl-end offer similar atmospheres, The Skillet leans more into flavour intensity and generous portions without overwhelming the plate. Service is warm, and while wait times can vary during peak hours, the food arrives hot and impeccably plated.

For anyone seeking a brunch experience that’s both comforting and inventive, The Skillet Menu delivers across the board. Whether you're in for a solo coffee and scone or a full weekend breakfast with friends, this spot checks the boxes for quality, ambiance, and flavour integrity. It’s a welcome retreat in Glasgow’s bustling Hyndland district and well worth the visit.
