Simply..'gloriously dated'....

We stopped in amazement that there was a whole bed of roses in flower in the street outside the University and as my friend touched this one in disbelief - it literally fell off into her hand (much to her embarassment!).

The menu is as old fashioned as the decor. I have to go back to this cafe to try their ice cream one day...

It looks excellent! Both retro and kitsch.
What life stories must have been recounted in there!

That is a very interesting thought Susan.

How lovely to come across a real retro place and not one that is just fitted out to look like one. It has certainly stood the test of time.

Italian cafes in Glasgow don't do change for the sake of change.

Most dishes coming with chips I saw and an intriguing 'double link'
on the menu, wonder what that tastes like...

Not very healthy I fear - but I will try the ice cream.

It’s so much fun, isn’t it, to come across a reminder of our past! We found a wonderful tea shop like this in niagara-on-the-lake last october....similar decor and similar menu! I hope you enjoyed your afternoon tea!

It is fun (and I had hot chocolate!).

A real West-end-of-Glasgow institution this one. My favourite café as a student was the Grosvenor which was on Byres Road, before it moved to Ashton lane.
