What can I say about Potluck that hasn’t been said already. These girls are savy business bossladies and smashing more than avocados all over instagram and social media. The phenomenal response since opening in May has them capturing more than your imagination and appetite. Yes the food is pretty and highly instagramable. Tag your bestie in the best brunch spot around, but more than that these ladies have the credentials to back it all up. They’re offering something different. HELLO pashmak, that wonderful Iranian candyfloss that is adoring the now infamous hotcakes that can’t come out the kitchen quick enough The peaches and pistachio my favourite. Each plate is a celebration of flavour and colour, carefully designed and curated by Laura. Coming from humble beginnings at a pop up in Sloans market to head chef at Bramble, a Giffnock eatery.

The menu is well thought out and forever being tweeked and changed. *seasonal changes* *menu items – soup, sandwich, hotcakes, rice bowls* vegan veggie options GF items can be added and changed to suit dietary requirements. I was pleased to see the removal of some of the more basic breakfast items, although the staff are encouraging to order off menu if nothing here takes your fancy, I visited with my one year old nephew and they were more than accommodating to make him something for his baby needs. I think it was a bold move for them and one I hope is paying off. If you want scrambled eggs on toast, ok go ahead but this menu is adventurous and you should be to. I don’t mean for that to sound conceited, I sometimes think the most basic of breakfasts can be the best when they’re celebration of the best ingredients but if I’m going out for brunch and paying for the pleasure then I want the works, the full shebang, give me some razzledazzle with my eggs and I for one think the lack of hollandaise is something to be applauded.

Atmosphere is casual and friendly, the decor simple and effective. Bjork poster and vintage mirrors adorn the walla, with music playing from the small kitchen, it feel familiar like you’re just over at your friend house. A small bookcase with ready material and an alter with an array of cakes from salted caramel brownies, vegan chai coconut sponge, courgette ginger GF loaf and then behold the star, crepe suzette cake, crepes layered with lemon creme.

High ceilings and small tables, seat a few patrons each comfortably with stools at the breakfast bar to the side and another bench and table outside. I would say the size is their only downfall, and unfortunately they’re a victim of their own success, expect long lies out the door come the weekend.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

east end, pilgrimage to the southside. travelling the length of the city for. southside eats, establishing/ overtaking west end. favourable rents, gentrification of area, bad press about area, it is a destination worth travelling for,

nomination of awards and on countless lists, topping many a must visit or ones to try, only 3 months in, exciting what future and hearty winter breakfast these girls will be serving up.
