Papagills

Papa Gill's is a long-running Partick fixture on Dumbarton Road that has defied easy categorisation for years. Regulars who have been coming for two decades describe the food as consistently excellent — whether ordering from the Indian curry section, the pizza menu or the all-day breakfast. The interior is famously eccentric, featuring a grand chandelier and a mounted moose head whose antlers accumulate hats and scarves tossed up by high-spirited customers. The room has warmth and character that newer, blander openings lack. It takes reservations and suits groups. The kitchen covers Indian, pizza, European and traditional Scottish breakfast, making it unusual even by Partick's eclectic standards.
