The Ubiquitous Chip is probably one of Glasgow's best overall dining experiences. The restuarant is situated on Ashton Lane a pretty, little cobbled street alley of bars and restuarants just off Byres road and near the University of Glasgow. The lane is charming and often filled with people especially during the summer.

Inside the decor is a mixture of the modern and the traditional and there is a courtyard with an outisde theme. One possible fault is there is no view as the restauarant is in a lane.

The restaurant aims to provide excellent quality Scottish food and succeeds in doing so. The menu usually offers around 8-10 dishes that use traditional Scottish dishes (such as stovies, Scottish steak and salmon) but beautifully prepared in a modern style. The food lives up to all it aims for, being tasty of reasonable quantity and extremely well presented. The service was also friendly and good without being pushy or invading the table too often to ask how the meal is.

There is also a decent selection of wine and, of course, whisky.

Overall this is a restaurant that provides quality food and a Scottish atmosphere without spilling over into the kitsch, tartan overkill that is the fault of many.
