My older daughter Emily found such place. It's Coila's Cafe (www.coiascafe.co.uk) in Glasgow. According to the website, the Coia family opened their first cafe in Dennistoun, Glasgow in 1928.
We went there on one Saturday afternoon for lunch. The place was fairly busy but we got a table without reservation. They had some American diner-like booths so next time we would like to book a booth.
There are quite a lot of good selections of dish on the menu but our mission that day was to eat this seafood soup or Zuppa Di Pesce. We saw a photo of this dish in somebody's Facebook page about a month ago and ever since we were salivating at the thought of trying this dish. So we ordered one to share between us and also ordered some extra bread to dip in and a portion of chips!
Zuppa Di Pesce - mixed seafood with garlic, chilli, onion and celery cooked in a tomato sauce served with garlic bread. |
Wow, it was really tasty, with abundance of seafood - langoustine, king prawns, squids, scallops and mussels.... For £18.95, it surely worths it and with such volumes, so just as well we shared this between us. Chips were also one of those typical chippy's chips, none of those frozen rubbish.
I had this soup with a glass of Pinot Grigio and Emily with a glass of diet coke as she was driving. We then had coffee to finish off and left the restaurant with full and happy stomach.
We would definitely go back there again - next time we will book a booth and even order Zuppa Di Pesce one each!!!
