Breakfast at Tibo, Glasgow

It's Sunday today. Instead of having a breakfast at home, we decided to go out for late breakfast so we have just been to Cafe Tibo (http://cafetibo.com) in Dennistoun, Glasgow. This is the place we had always wanted to try every time we parked our car near by to go to Coia's Cafe for their seafood linguine.


We stepped inside - it's a very relaxing atomosphere with displays of paintings and photographs on walls. I later learned from their website that they help promote artworks by local artists through regular displays within the restaurant.



We consulted their menu .... they have good selections for all day breakfast serving until 5pm. I was contemplating having Eggs Florentine but both my husband and I decided to have their Full Veggie Breakfast.


I also notice they have today's specials on the blackboard. Mediterranean vegetable and rice soup ... that sounds nice. Fillet of Seabass with seared scallops, Thai stir-fry and pea puree. That sounds nice too. I take a mental note that I shall come back and try their specials ....


We ordered breakfast tea to go with our fry-ups.


It was a good brew .... We were having a nice cuppa, looking at some paintings on the walls....


And before we know, our veggie breakfast arrived!


Cafe Tibo's veggie breakfast consists of veggie sausages, veggie haggis, baked beans, mushrooms, roast tomato, fried egg, potato scone and toast on a good sized plate.  It's not bad for £7.95.

We enjoyed our breakfast and nicely brewed pot of tea.

As we were eating our breakfast, we notice others were having mac'n cheese or Egg Benedict. Yes, we could come back for lunch, cakes and coffee in the afternoon or even dinner to try other food on the menu. This place always looks nice outside in the evening - I bet it would be just as lovely inside as outside in the evening with soft and warm lighting and their decors.


We arrived just after 12. The restaurant was quiet and we were served fairly quickly. Staff who was serving us was very friendly and welcoming. I would definitely go back and when I do, I would like to try their seafood curry or macaroni cheese from their main menu.

Cafe Tibo is on Duke Street, east end of Glasgow and just next block from Coia's Cafe, Italian restaurant.

That's all forks.
