Hi all!

How many times have you wanted to go out for food with friends and realised that a) you've no idea where to go and b) you remembered that you're a broke student? 
A third-world problem that we've all undoubtedly faced more than a few times in our time throughout university.

Luckily, in a city as student-friendly as Glasgow, we've got quite a few restaurants that try to cater to our nearly-empty wallets.

Through this blog, I'm going to explore a few of these restaurants, and review their student offers on a few factors:

Taste: How good is the food?
Choice: Have you got a few options in the deal or is it set?
Ambience: Rating on the restaurant vibe itself
Service:  How quick/efficient/ nice is service?
Alcohol factor: Is some form of alcohol included in the deal? (Is it really a student deal if not..? Debatable.)

Here's hoping Glasgow's as student friendly as it's marketed to be!

Topolabamba

Hola and welcome back amigos. Onto our next student deal- Topolabamba! Now this is a pretty well-known lil Mexican spot that never goes amiss in Glasgow. I’ve heard a lot about the student deal but had yet to try it out. We went a Sunday afternoon and it was fairly busy, however it’s a pretty big place so really didn’t feel cramped at all. Also a hot spot for all you aesthetic lovers out there- there are some dang nice lights. First impression- INSTANT brownie points to the constant Shakira playlist. Loved me some 2009 She Wolf vibes.  We sat down and were given a menu but had to ask for the student deal menu (bit of a shameful moment as the waiter realised we were poor). It’s not a proper menu per se but a cute lil flyer that does the job. The student deal consists of: Either 2 Sol beers or 2 Margaritas (Original, Green Apple or Fresh Watermelon) with a burrito or a quesadilla for £10. So the two of us got 2 Sol, a Fresh Watermelon Margarita, an Ori...

Welcome back guys! Onto to our next target… Bloc! Bloc, Bar Bloc, Bloc +, whatever you want to call it- this Bath St. venue acts as a restaurant, bar and a music venue which is pretty cool. Would recommend Bloc for a boogie if you've not been yet, but I'd never been for food. What makes Bloc appealing for food is its daily deals~ £3 Pasta Mondays, £3 Burger Tuesdays, £5 Steak Wednesdays, £4 Kentucky Thursdays and £4 Bloc+ Dog Friday. (Now before someone has a go at me I'm WELL AWARE these aren't TECHNICALLY student deals but they're very cheap so really you should thank me x ) SO. We went a Wednesday for that good 5 dolla steak. I figured there was no way they'd give you a decent piece of meat for that price so thought it was worth checking out. We got there around half one and it was PACKED. Apparently everyone and their cousin in Glasgow knows about this deal. That being said the host was pretty great, taking my name and getting...

Bar Soba

Hello it's me I am still kickin. Deal number 5- Bar Soba Merchant City! Now this one was interesting because Bar Soba previously had a very-well known student deal for the past few years: 2 for 1 mains. However while doing some research for this blog I found out that they had gotten rid of this deal (SHOCK HORROR) and replaced it with another one completely. Now, the annoying part about this deal is that you've gotta work for it. Like really want it. By this I mean you have to apply for it online and go collect your student card at your local Bar Soba. Which I know is a chore for first-world uni students. But honestly a deal that's pretty worth it. The student deal consists of: 50% of all food on the main menu and 25% off of drinks. (T&Cs- valid all day Sunday to Thursday ad 12pm to 5pm on Fridays)  I know it's a bit different than the other deals I've done but I thought 50% off a wHoLe MeNu was definitely worth a go! There's so much choice with this deal t...
