Review of 13th Note: Vegetarian and Vegan Café in Glasgow
By April | March 20, 2008
Whether or not you are vegetarian a visit to 13th Note is well worth it. I am a vegetarian and get frustrated with the lack of choice you get in other restaurants. So whenever I’m in town I try and make a trip to 13th Note as I love the fact I get eat anything on the menu. If you are a strict vegan you will also be pleased to know that all the vegan meals are prepared separately from the dairy products.
The atmosphere in 13th is very relaxed and laid back so you don’t need to worry about dress code or anything like that. My only complaint is that the staff are a little too relaxed. When my boyfriend went up to the bar for some drinks they guy behind the bar said he would serve him shortly. That member of staff ended up doing other things so my boyfriend had to get a female member of staff to serve him. There was also a bit more of a delay to have our food order taken too. This one guy in particular who had tattoos and piercings just pretended to be busy rather than doing any proper work. That’s the feeling I get anyway.
However the food was well worth the wait. Another complaint I would make is that the music is really bad and played way too loud. I’m not sure they really understand their clientele because many of the people in were actually middle-aged. Please 13th Note, play some decent music like The Kinks or Neil Young. I get the feeling that people were enduring the music rather than being there because of it.
If 13th Note were just to get some better quality staff and played better music then I think it be pretty much the perfect place to hang out.
13th Note is located at 50-60 King Street, Glasgow, G1 5QT
