    Delicious healthy food, good portion so it’s worth the money. Lovely staff too. Will definitely go back to try everything on the menu.

    Definitely one of my favourite places to eat. As a gym lady I do appreciate knowing my macros from time to time, so it takes away the stress. The food is delish (my personal fav is the side chick salad), but have tried loads from the All American pancakes, the plant burger, the Kentucky box, the salt & chilli fries (which are amazing btw). The servers are always lovely! It even got to a point where the waitress began to recognise my mum and me for being so regular!

    Ordered the pizza and about 30 mins after the rest of my groups food had been served was handed a tortilla wrap with some warm toppings on it. Considering the pizza is one of the pricier items on the menu I had been expecting something a bit more substantial. Will not be returning.

    I have previously left a 2 star review due to terrible service received but have visited a few times since then and the service has improved significantly, so have deleted that one as it no longer applies. This is probably the only restaurant focused on healthy food in the city centre. The shakes are amazing and the food is great too. The service is great and the prices are fair.

    Amazing place to eat a breakfast! We ordered Heatlhy Start and Flower Power smoothie. Very delicious and I did it feel hunger after eating at all. Also the interior design is pretty cool!

    Went with my boyfriend for breakfast - the juice was pure sugar when it comes to taste and the smoothie was absolutely horrible - water mixed with a few fruit. We also had an avocado toast but it was without any spices like salt or pepper. To make this experience even better there was a tiny cute dog barking throughout our entire experience.

    Got the meal prep via Itison deal. The food is shockingly bad, the meals take ages to be produced, the labelling on the dishes all have generic cooking instructions. I've no idea how these guys are in business.

    WOW - the only word I can describe for this place! The venue, the food and the lady who served us was very bubbly and polite! Please bring one of these to Galway, Ireland... My pre and post gym sessions, hangovers or takeaways will be well worth it! 😍

  • 1/5 Fraser L. 4 years ago on Google
    Ive used kcal kitchen for meal-prep 3 times now. I bought a few weeks worth whenever there was an offer on facebook. Most of it is still in my freezer. First time i ordered was great, although part of what i ordered wasn't available, and they only had one more thing left that i could take instead. The second and third time i collected my orders, i kept having to go back, it was never ready on time, even after receiving an email telling me exactly when it was meant to be. I even received an "Your order is complete" email a MONTH after picking up my last order. The text on the website means nothing, you cannot order before 11am for same day pickup, in Glasgow at least, due to it being made in Edinburgh and shipped across. Staff are friendly enough, although have had to stand and wait at the counter when there was no-one else in the store. First time i received my order in a paper bag (not great if your travelling any distance) so they went in the back and got an old asda bag for life to give me (not the best of first impressions) and the other two i received large boxes, with ice packs in them, the food rarely taking up even half the box space. The food itself: It does look like the pictures, but the chicken...this stuff has either been frozen before, or its just low quality supermarket pre-cut chicken. I was expecting fresh cooked chicken but it was tough and chewy, even eating it from chilled and not re-freezing it. As most of the dishes contain chicken its the same in every dish, apart from the Mac & Cheese which has a sort of pulled chicken. One of the containers i received (i think it was for Chicken Satay) does not contain chicken in the ingredients label, which im sure is a legal requirement. So, would i order meal prep from kcal kitchen again? not unless the chicken is changed for fresh/store cooked chicken and the ordering process is clearly outlined. Im always looking for places to go for coffee/food in Glasgow, but after the issues with the meal prep, im slightly put-off trying any of the cafes food as if its the same quality as the meal-prep, id rather just go to Tesco and buy packaged chicken and microwave rice.

    Food was great, but the came out very slow. The waitress was very apologetic and gave us a sweet treat on the house, but we did only have 5 mins to inhale our mains in our lunch hour. Would go back as the food e lovely. Good offers for gym members too.

    This is a mixed bag. My daughter picked this for a family breakfast. It's a small place, modern looking, spacious enough. The staff were absolutely lovely, attentive and easy to chat to. However... If you look at the photo of the egg on sourdough, that's £7 right there. For one slice of bread and two poached eggs. The other photo was the Super Baked Granola Bowl. It was very tasty, but a bowl it ain't, more like a cup. Coming in at £6. My daughter had the PB pancakes which were £7.50. Food to plate ratio was better on that with 4 medium sized pancakes. We've been to Stack & Stills before, so not complaining about that. Tap water was provided for the table - but I'm sorry, Glasgow, your tap water is just awful 😶 That's true anywhere in Glasgow though. Anybody filter their water before serving? My daughter said she would come back, but probably with her friends, not her parents.

  • 5/5 Christy V. 6 months ago on Google • 43 reviews
    It's the best place for the yummy food and also healthy food I would say. The staff are very friendly. I love the ambience. Definitely worth going to. I highly recommend this place if you are looking to have a balanced diet food.

  • 5/5 Sarvin K. 9 months ago on Google • 36 reviews
    Me and my friend went for a brunch last week. Food was so good. They do discount for PureGym members which was very good. I just wish they had a fan inside as it was very warm.

  • 5/5 Ryan D. 3 months ago on Google • 19 reviews New
    Went for breakfast (all day on Sat & Sun). Love the fact you know the calories and macros for each dish, price was pretty decent, servers were lovely but the food was the star of the show. The food was delicious and very well presented - we'll definitely be going back.

  • 5/5 Jo M. 8 months ago on Google • 13 reviews
    Absolutely loved this place! Visited 3 times in 2 days. Staff were super lovely and the menu was fab. I was the only vegan in our group of 3 and was impressed with the available options, it was hard to choose. Both breakfasts I had The All American pancakes, super fluffy pancakes with mixed berries, granola and maple.... So good! Friends had french toast, granola bowl and smoothies and love it all. Coffee was delicious and the added bonus of the music was good on all 3 visits. Can't recommend this place enough. I'll definitely go back next time I'm in Glasgow.

  • 5/5 Robin M. 11 months ago on Google • 11 reviews
    Wow!! Talk about having your cake and being able to eat it too! This Macro-Friendly Restaurant was incredible from the Not so Zinger Chicken Sandwich with Cajun Sweet Potato Fries and the Chicken & Egg Caesar Salad- we were impressed! Then to finish the dinner we shared these unbelievable Biscoff Protein Pancakes for under 650 calories 😍❤️

  • 4/5 Kerry M. 4 months ago on Google • 10 reviews
    Me and my partner went earlier this week and really enjoyed it. We got there a bit early than intended so we were given the breakfast menu when we wanted to come for lunch, the last serving us was great and gave us the lunch menu instead. Had to wait about 20 minutes but that was our own doing and we were happy to do so. Good service, a little bit too loud for my liking but that's personal I guess. I didn't love the seating as we were sat beside the wall and the seats are these heavy blocks that are quite difficult to move to get into. But other than that, the environment was good, the food was food, would definitely come back

    Loved this place food is amazing such a good wee spot could not fault at all would highly recommend and will be back. Staff also great couldnt do enough for you.

  • 3/5 Philip P. 3 years ago on Google
    The shakes and treats are good here but we found the main meals bland - when you're eating good quality food the seasoning is critical to help make something that more palatable - just missed the trick here.

  • 4/5 Jennifer C. 3 years ago on Google
    Went for lunch with some friends and had a lovely meal! Loved the decor and the waitress was very friendly as well! Would recommend the chilli chicken!

  • 5/5 Christopher M. 3 years ago on Google
    Friendly service and big, tasty portions. Very good value for money.

  • 5/5 Gita M. 5 years ago on Google
    The restaurant's tagline is "Eat without feeling guilty" and it serves justice! We ordered the honey glazed salmon with salad and it tasted amazing. The seasoning for the salmon is perfect and the salad was fresh as well. Every table is provided with lemon infused water and it's free of charge. The juices that we ordered (celery juice and carrot juice) tasted really fresh

  • 5/5 Kasia E. 4 years ago on Google
    Fantastic food and plenty of gluten free and healthy options. I had a honey glazed salmon, dirty halloumi chips and a delicious bounty cake! It was very tasty and I will be back here whenever I am in Glasgow.

  • 4/5 Chee Hou C. 4 years ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sandra L. 3 years ago on Google
    The best meal in Glasgow. Huge portions, tasty, healthy. Really nice I wish I could go back

  • 5/5 Vasili S. 3 years ago on Google
    Best place in Glasgow hands down. Friendly stuff, low prices, giant portions, absolutely delicious chicken.

  • 5/5 Tony C. 3 years ago on Google
    Generous portion sizes, taste fantastic and presentation was great aswell. Staff friendly and welcoming. Price very fair for the amount served. Must try the Nutella pancakes. Will be back again for sure 👍

  • 4/5 Kateřina �. 5 years ago on Google
    A great concept - you know all the macros and calories of your meal to pick what fits your regime! Everything has a healthy spin to it: brown rice, wholemeal nachos etc. The service was very friendly too! I'd appreciate a better choice of genuinely low calorie meals, maybe some Japanese konjac noodles?

  • 5/5 Stephen M. 3 years ago on Google
    The muscle stack is an amazing meal to start your day with, never had better pancakes

  • 5/5 Rahul K. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic food. Not only the food is made with a lot of care and love, the portion size is really good. I’m glad we made this our first place to dine in Glasgow.

  • 5/5 Ellen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff are amazing, kind and attentive. The food is amazing, inclusive, healthy and delicious

  • 5/5 Linda M. 1 year ago on Google
    100% worth a visit. The food was exquisite. They had really good vegan options along with meat filled meals for my meat loving husband. The healthy options were endless, a large juice and smoothie list and a pancake menu that would make you want to order everything 😋

  • 4/5 Marie S. 2 years ago on Google
    Love the concept of the restaurant. Staff were lovely and the pancakes were nice but a little expensive for the portion size. Loved the interior.

  • 2/5 Luc 1 year ago on Google
    I enjoyed the smoothie. I see what they’re trying to do, but the food wasn’t very good. The most disappointing thing was that the sweet potato chickpea dish consisted of mostly onions and bell pepper and had barely any of the “main” ingredients (sweet potato and chickpeas).

  • 5/5 xgbdx 1 year ago on Google
    This place was such a cute little find! The music was amazing, a 2000’s playlist which really suited the vibe of the cafe. The staff were really friendly and we would definitely come back.

  • 5/5 Isra A. 1 year ago on Google
    This place is a wee gem! Staff were so friendly and helpful, service was fast and food was delicious! The decor is cute and cosy. Free cucumber/basil water available which was refreshing. The only downside was the music was a bit loud, but not enough to detract from the experience. At the time of visiting the new menu had been launched so the website was a bit different. I had eggs royale with salmon which was divine. Can't wait to revisit and try the french loaf!

  • 5/5 María A. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Sarah K. 5 years ago on Google
    Brilliant quality food - particularly enjoyed the takeaway pineapple turkey and rice box. Love that you can scan their food straight into MyFitnessPal for logging your macros. Wish I lived closer as I would be there all the time, but definitely will be visiting next time I'm in Glasgow.

  • 1/5 Raman L. 4 years ago on Google
    Ordered for delivery and food containers were damaged and sauce had spilled everywhere due to poor packaging. No customer service number or email. Tried contacting on Instagram on 30th May and no response. Even though multiple pictures and stories have been posted since. Obviously a way to avoid feedback. Also check reviews, saw newspaper articles saying that macronutrients are incorrect. You know what they say, if it's too good to be true...

  • 5/5 Tariq A. 6 years ago on Google
    First time here and it was a pleasant surprise just how good the food was.

  • 5/5 James B. 5 years ago on Google
    Great friendly staff. The menu is varied and the quality is excellent.

  • 4/5 Cre84 m. 6 years ago on Google
    Lovely atmosphere and great selection of food! Service was fantastic. The chicken zoodles were a bit too hot though and the side salad too much onion. I think the food could use a bit more refinement but other than that one of my favourite places in Glasgow!

  • 5/5 Arianna S. 6 years ago on Google
    Very nice and clean. Super fast service and smiling waitresses. Everything very good. I'll sirely come again.

  • 5/5 Justin L. 4 years ago on Google
    Got a takeaway salad (turkey, bacon & avocado) and it was excellent. The rest of the menu looked great - the nutritional information is a nice touch. Helpful staff and the place had a friendly atmosphere.

    My boyfriend and me enjoyed our high protein burger and the vegan protein pancakes - although we did not discover the secret recipe, we did enjoy the delicious food! We would appreciate such a Fitness food Concept in our hometown in Germany as well :-)

    (Translated by Google) KCal is an interesting place with a decidedly unique philosophy. Its niche is the body builder community, and this is reflected by the highly accurate menu regarding the nutritional values ​​of the dishes: for each of them, the values ​​of carbohydrates, proteins and fats were reported. There are also high-protein or low-carbohydrate foods suitable for those who follow a low-carb type of diet. I put four stars only because I find their marketing tactics rather incorrect, or at least not very moral: the place gave away a piece of cake in exchange for a review on Trip Advisor. (Original) Il KCal è un locale interessante con una filosofia decisamente singolare. La sua nicchia è la comunità di body builder, e questo viene rispecchiato dal menu accuratissimo per quanto riguarda i valori nutrizionali dei piatti: per ciascuno di essi, erano riportati i valori di carboidrati, proteine e grassi. Presenti anche dei cibi iperproteici o con bassi carboidrati adatti a chi segue un tipo di dieta low-carb. Metto quattro stelle solo perché trovo piuttosto scorretta, o quantomeno poco morale, la loro tattica di marketing: il locale regalava un pezzo di torta in cambio di una recensione su Trip Advisor.
