Glasgow as a market
Glasgow eats by neighbourhood and drinks by the subway stop
Glasgow's trade runs neighbourhood by neighbourhood, and the Subway joins most of them in a circle. Finnieston is the strip on Argyle Street, the restaurants and bars that turned a stretch of tenements into the city's dining room; the West End is Byres Road and Ashton Lane, the students, the Saturday brunch and the lanes; the Merchant City is the bars and restaurants between the squares; the Southside is Shawlands and Strathbungo, the neighbourhood restaurants the residents keep to themselves; Dennistoun is Duke Street and the Barras on a weekend; and the city centre is Sauchiehall Street, Buchanan Street and the offices by day. Two football clubs, two universities, the arena by the river and the Christmas market set the calendar, and Central and Queen Street bring the rest of the country in.

- Getting there
- Central and Queen Street stations bring the trains from London, Edinburgh and the rest of Scotland, the airport brings London in an hour, the Subway runs its circle through the West End, the centre and the Southside, buses run everywhere else, and the M8 brings the car trade from the east and the west.
What a Glasgow restaurant website has to do
Say which Glasgow
A search for dinner in Glasgow could mean Finnieston, Byres Road, the Merchant City or Shawlands, and they are different evenings.
Match days and arena nights are a sitting of their own
Old Firm days and the big concerts on the Clyde bring a crowd that eats early, drinks after and leaves on a timetable.
Brunch is a trade, say when it starts
The West End and the Southside queue for Saturday brunch, and the queue checks the phone first.
Rank for Glasgow, by neighbourhood and by stop
Searches name Finnieston, Byres Road, Shawlands and the Merchant City more often than the city.
What we do, how we do it, what you get
Built from the kitchen outwards by someone who has run one
EDC's founder spent twenty years running hospitality operations before founding the consultancy in June 2024. A Glasgow site starts with the menu, the sittings and the margin, and only then with the design that sells them in Finnieston or on Byres Road.
On the floor
- Menu and marginThe menu costed line by line and priced against your margin before it is designed.
- Service flowSittings, turn times and the match-day plan decided before the booking system is switched on.
- Allergens and specsAn allergen matrix and recipe spec sheets the kitchen works from and the website can quote.
- Team and standardsOpening checklists and service standards written for the people who will run the room on a Saturday.

Questions people ask
Web design in Glasgow: the questions people ask
How much does web design cost in Glasgow?
The same as anywhere EDC works. Website – Starter is £1,650, Website – Pro £2,950, Website – Standard £5,800 and Website – Premium £6,500, one-off figures in pounds. The pricing page lists what each includes. Local SEO is separate, from £850 per month.
Do you design websites for businesses in Glasgow other than restaurants?
EDC builds for the food and drink trade: restaurants, cafés, bars, pubs, tea rooms, bakeries and delis. A site for a Finnieston restaurant or a Southside café is built by someone who has run one.
Who designs restaurant websites in Glasgow?
Epicurean Digital Consultants, based in Wimbledon in London and working in Glasgow by train, by plane and by video call, founded in June 2024 by Ali Solak after twenty years running hospitality operations. You deal with Ali directly, not an account manager.
Do you cover the Southside, Dennistoun and the West End as well as the centre?
Yes. The neighbourhoods are the trade, and each page is built around the street and the subway stop rather than the city name.
Do you need to visit the restaurant?
Usually once, and Glasgow is a morning's train or a short flight from London. The first thirty-minute call is by phone or video and costs nothing.
How long does a restaurant website take?
It depends on the package and on how fast menus, photography and copy come back from you. The written scope after the first call gives a date.
Where this page's design comes from
Maison Cuir, one of the concept sites in the Web Portfolios
This page shares that demo's idea of craft in a material: there leather and gilt, here leaded glass and the tall, thin lines of the Glasgow style. It is a concept site with a fictional brand, built to show what a site can feel like; it is not a client and no business on it is real.
A website that knows Finnieston from Shawlands and an Old Firm day from a Saturday brunch
