Overview

Oblomov is a fantastic, comfortable and opulent East European themed beer kitchen, and one of the few places in Glasgow to serve absinthe. The west end premises (there's another in Merchant City) are divided into two sections: on the right as you go in are leather sofas and the bar area; on the left is a short staircase leading to the restaurant, which is absorbed by the bar as the night gets old. The menu offers Hungarian goulash and blini amongst other Slavonic culinary delights such as venison sausages or Budapest chicken with dumplings. Portions are huge and delicious with a tempting array of desserts if you can force anything else in. Icy cold vodka is the ideal accompaniment for a meal and every Thursday evening a string quartet adds a touch of class.
