Welcome to Gamba

Est. 1998

Gamba is still Glasgow’s best seafood restaurant after two decades.

Guests come from all over Scotland and the world to sample seafood creative excellence in our cosy basement space.

Sustainability and sourcing ingredients locally are part of our recipe for success - as is our famous fish soup.

Join us for the best of Scotland’s larder.

“Raheela and her colleagues gave us a warm & friendly welcome, served us exquisite seafood, reinforcing and even surpassing the iconic “Gamba experience” decades in the making!

It’s under new management and is all the better for it!

The service was friendly, attentive but discrete. The experience, ambience and quality of food was their only focus! I can’t recommend it more highly!”

Chris N, Tripadvisor

Below each wine description is a suggestion of a suitable food pairing. Please take these as a guide only, part of the fun of food and wine is experimenting, we all enjoy different combinations, what works for some won’t for others.

If you drink what you enjoy with the dish you most want to eat you won’t go far wrong.
