Upper Glas Restaurant in Angel, London

Fluid Eating's Review of Upper Glas Restaurant

Glas Restaurant is the creation of Anna Mosesson, Swedish cook, food writer and broadcaster. Glas Restaurant opened in Borough Market, south of the Thames by London Bridge, in March 2005. The restaurant developed out of "Scandelicious", the Swedish food stall that Anna started in 1999. In the autumn of 2006 they left Borough to go north of the river and are now situated in Angel, Islington.

In a short space of time Glas has established itself as the premier Swedish restaurant in the UK, recieving glowing reviews in national newspapers, magazines and food publications. Glas has a talented team of young Swedish chefs and front of house staff, and a friendly and intimate atmosphere.

As well as Swedish food, frozen snaps/aquavits and Scandinavian beers are a speciality, but they also offer an interesting range of wines, with an emphasis on floral and aromatic whites and reds that can be drunk lightly chilled. (Updated 22/01/2007)

“We went for Sunday Lunch expecting the same high standards as Glas (Borough Market) and were very disapppointed. My wife had Toast Skagen which bore no resemblance to the real thing with poor flabby prawns and a mayonnaise dressing. We both had beetroot gravad lax (with dill stuvad potatoes) which was tasteless with 25% beetroot coloured and the rest pink. No Swedish hardbread was offered and we presume had run out. The staff were friendly but where oh where was the Borough Market chef??” Rating: — Peter Tham, London (18 Mar 2007)
