Every student who studies or lives in Glasgow must experience the vibe of the West End- a place that has so much to offer to suit all tastes and
budgets. One of the iconic places to
visit is Ashton Lane - a hidden gem in the heart of West End, located just
behind Byres Road.
The narrow street is filled with fun and cheerful
atmosphere, where you can find everything you possibly need for a perfect day
or night out. This one little street has got it all, great restaurants, bars,
pubs and a beautiful Belgian Pub like Brel, which I have discovered by using
one of the Itison deals.
Brel is partnered-up with
ITISON- a platform that advertises and sells a wide range of vouchers to
promote restaurants, bars, hotels and other local businesses. Taking advantage of the offer,
I decided to go ahead and purchase an Itison deal - Mains
for Two at Brel. The offer included a Main each and a glass of
wine or a pint of Amstel beer for only £15.00. The voucher was valid to use
from Monday to Friday, excluding Saturdays. It also had a link and step-by-step guide on how to make an online reservation.

The booking process was very
straightforward and I managed to reserve a table for a Thursday night at
7.30pm. Reflecting on the visit, I can
say that we extremely enjoyed the dining experience at Brel. Despite the fact
that the venue was quite busy we received a very welcoming and friendly service
from its staff. In terms of food, we had Moules Frites - Scottish Steamed
Mussels served with soda bread, fries and aioli and Seafood Paella - made with
pearl barley, squid, prawns, moules and pan-fried Sea trout accompanied with
one pint of Amstel beer and a glass of Rose wine.

Both meals were very well
presented, fresh and mouth-watering mussels were to die for! After the mains,
we ordered delicious Pecan Pie with Salted Caramel ice cream. The dessert
wasn’t a part of the deal but it was a perfect note to complete our meal.
Not to mention, I couldn’t believe how beautiful and magical the
place was! Along with amazing food and a great selection of craft beers, it has
certainly got the most magical venue.
What makes Brel magic:
Brel's beer garden with magically-lit
trees feature hundreds of twinkling fairy lights and named one of the UK's
most beautiful gardens by Stylist. The venue incorporates a magical Private
Dining called “Up”, available for private hire which overlooks the Ashton Lane
and has fairy lights and colorful hot air balloons, creating the atmosphere of
the fairy tale, cosy Mezzanine with a bar, beautiful Conservatory with access
to the Beer Garden, Heated Patio - fully covered and perfect for al fresco
dining, beautiful Solarium, and The Brel’s Fire Pit - ideal for celebrations,
get-together drinks and marshmallow parties by the fire.
Overall, we had a fantastic night out at Brel and thoroughly enjoyed Belgian cuisine. Stunning Brel has become one of my favorite places to dine due to its amazing food, cosy and magical atmosphere. Most importantly, by using the Itison offer we have managed to save £25.00, which is certainly an amazing deal in terms of price vs quality.
