An Café and Food
An Café and Food is a small Vietnamese café on Union Street, a minute from Glasgow Central Station. It serves pho, banh mi and other Vietnamese staples alongside Vietnamese coffees, including egg coffee and iced coffee with condensed milk, which makes it a good quick lunch near the station.

What to order
The core of the menu is Vietnamese comfort food: pho noodle soup, banh mi sandwiches and a slow-cooked Vietnamese beef stew. To start, there are fresh summer rolls, steamed bánh giò dumplings and fried chicken wings, so it is easy to share a few dishes. The beef stew is a heartier choice on a cold day, while the banh mi is the quickest grab-and-go option before a train.
Coffee and drinks
Vietnamese coffee is a reason to stop in even if you are not eating. Try the egg coffee, whipped and rich, or the iced coffee with condensed milk. There is also lemon tea, homemade lemon juice and fruit smoothies such as mango and avocado. The egg coffee is unusual enough that it is worth trying once even if you normally drink a flat white.
When to go
Union Street runs along the side of Central Station, so An Café works well before a train or as a break from Buchanan Street shopping. The Lighthouse, Glasgow's centre for design and architecture in a Charles Rennie Mackintosh building, is just round the corner on Mitchell Lane. Delivery through Deliveroo is available if you would rather eat in your hotel.
