The concept behind Kelp Restaurant is to bring a taste of Scotland’s best and most sustainably sourced sea food to Glasgow’s Table. Sourcing unique and artisan products from the Highlands and Islands is of great importance to us. So please, sit back and enjoy a dram or tuck into some of Scotland’s best offerings from Barra to Ardnamurchan. Kelp are large brown algae/ seaweeds, despite its appearance, kelp is not a plant and like our name sake, we are more than we appear. Although we are a predominantly sea food restaurant, we also have a diverse and versatile menu which caters to any dietary needs.

This was our first visit to Kelp and what an enjoyable time we had. The menu has a large selection of choice. The dishes are almost fine dining size, just a little bit bigger. The tastes and prsentation are in our opinion fine dining. It was good to see a menu with so much Scottish fayre on it. We had five dishes and desserts between two and we left full and very happy. You know it’s a good meal when you can’t pick a favourite dish as all were very tasty in their own way. Will we visit again, definetly as this is our type of food. Well done Kelp. Unfortunately, nothing to do with Kelp, the access could have been better sign posted due to roadworks outside the restaurant.

I expected the seafood to be amazing but everything was outstanding! The bread with seaweed butter is amazing and the chips were so crispy! The only slight downfall was that we were in and out within about an hour which was an awful quick £100 spent. However that’s a tiny little point. We went at 5.15 to get the two plates and a side option from the market menu which did save quite a bit though!

Had my birthday celebration here last week. Customer service was great and food was good. Had a small issue with an order but Michelle was quick to get back to us to rectify the issue. Atmosphere was lovely and warm. Very satisfied overall with the professionalism of the team, presentation, environment and honesty of the team

I ate at Kelp on 22 October 2025, after reading the reviews – and wasn’t disappointed.
The staff were welcoming and friendly and offered good advice on the menu options.
I ordered the hand dived Barra scallops, Orkney crab doughnut and pickled samphire slaw.
As a former scallop diver I feel confident in being able make an assessment on the standard of the scallops, which were of the very highest quality. The seasoning was perfect, bringing out the subtle flavour of the beautifully fresh scallops.
The crab doughnut was sensational. Again the seasoning and flavours were absolutely on point with the emulsion adding a different layer of flavour.
The flavours in slaw were really clean and punchy and the perfect compliment to the crab doughnut.
I have eaten seafood from some of the best places in the North of Scotland and I can honestly say that the food at Kelp was the finest seafood I have ever had.
It was a joy to eat at Kelp, where the kitchen staff are confident in using bold flavours and the dishes are seasoned to perfection. The whole experience was fantastic and I can’t wait to return.

Kelp in Glasgow delivers an exquisite dining experience that effortlessly blends elegance, sophistication, and warmth. From the moment we entered, we were struck by the serene ambiance and refined maritime-inspired décor—an impeccable nod to the restaurant’s seafood artistry. Each dish we sampled was a testament to culinary mastery. We enjoyed an impressive selection of courses and beverages, all arriving with impeccable timing and presentation. The flavors were delicate yet expressive, showcasing the very best of Scotland’s coastal produce. The langoustine was a standout, perfectly cooked to achieve a rich succulence and refined depth of flavor. Every element on the plate demonstrated precision, balance, and respect for the ingredients. Equally noteworthy was the service. Our server, Max, epitomized professionalism and warmth in equal measure. His intuitive attention to detail, engaging approach with the group, and thoughtful guidance through the menu elevated the entire experience. His ability to accommodate dietary requirements with ease reflected a level of hospitality befitting fine dining at its best. Kelp offers a rare combination of culinary artistry, polished service, and genuine hospitality. It is a destination where every detail, from presentation to atmosphere, is curated to perfection. A visit to Kale is not merely a meal—it is a celebration of exceptional taste and thoughtful craftsmanship.

I had dined at kelp before and had to visit again on my next trip to Glasgow. I was glad I booked a table as when I arrived on a Thursday evening the restaurant was packed!
Again I went for the famous crab donut followed by sardine ravioli as recommended by the amazing waitress ,both started with pickled mussels.
When I am lucky enough to travel to Glasgow I always pay a visit to kelp and it’s always the highlight of my trip.

Kelp is a jewel in the Glasgow food scene crown and a must visit for any food lover looking for creative food executed to the highest standards . Service was mature confident and attentive from the minute we arrived our host was chatty informative and always on hand excellent service. The wine list also deserves a mention this has been perfectly crafted and balanced in choice by what are obviously culinary professionals who leave you spoilt for choice . The Spanish Verdejo we chose was a delightful , perfectly chilled and full of ripe citrus fruit a perfect partner for what was to come . This small plates seafood concept offers a generous list of seafood dishes each a taste sensation in its own right beautifully garnished and presented to a fine dining level . ( there is also duck chicken and vegetarian dishes ) . Sourdough with whipped butter is an essential addition to mop up the delicious sauces and dressings you will not want to waste a drop. Most memorable were the scallops plump succulent and perfectly seared , but equal in deliciousness were the , squid , mackerel , sea bream , lightly smoked trout that melted in the mouth . A lot of thought passion and planning has gone into these dishes , great raw materials wonderful flavours and textures beautiful on the eye perfectly executed , thank you chef great job keep doing what you do great things will come .

My second venture into Glasgow’s seafood scene led me to Kelp, and once again, the city delivered an absolutely amazing culinary experience! The restaurant is wonderfully relaxed yet sophisticated, making it the perfect spot for enjoyable conversations without feeling rushed or crowded.
The staff at Kelp deserve a special mention. Their service was nothing short of excellent – always accompanied by a genuine smile and a professional demeanor that made us feel incredibly welcome and well-cared for throughout the evening. The lady mentioned she’s a new staff, I think she really did a great job.
Regarding the food, the Squid Tostada was an absolute highlight; bursting with fresh flavours and perfectly prepared. Equally impressive were the Shetland Mussels, plump, juicy, and swimming in a delightful broth. I’m not a seafood lover, but I think both dishes were truly memorable!
Moreover, this was also my second time dining at a restaurant proudly bearing the AA Rosette award, and Kelp has truly solidified my confidence in its significance. The quality here was outstanding, and I now feel much more assured and excited to explore other establishments recognised with this prestigious award.
