It would be very sad if it was closed down. I was often taken there by my parents in the late 50s/early 60s for Saturday high tea. I now live in Spain and go back every time I'm in Glasgow. I'll check it out next month when I'm home. PLEASE don't let it be closed!!!

Has this restaurant closed for business ? I've used it often in the past few years but recently when I've been in town it appears to be in darkness.

When I was growing up in the 70's we would go to Glasgow once a month and the thing I remember most was our visits to The Trees, I have very fond memories of my times there.

My Gran used to go there when she was a girl and in turn My Aunt and then me, I now live in England but return home every year with my son and the first thing we do when we get to Glasgow is to visit The Trees, I so glad it's still there It's a link to the past I would be very sad to loose.....hopefully my son will be able to take his kids there in the years to come.

Tommorow (everything going to plan) the trees should have a new owner. My first memory of Trees is sitting in a high chair beside my Grandfather in the 1970s. It was a busy place with no less than three waitresses at any one time. I remember the then proprietor (Angelo) who would sit at the cash desk and sometimes we bought home made tablet. I would never have thought all those years ago that I would one day run this renowned Glasgow landmark. Most of the clientele are regulars nowadays and i have even seen a few "old regulars" who emigrated and have come home to visit. I have found some interesting photos of former staff and there are also menus from the 40's and 70's when 65 pence would buy you a three course lunch. nobody panic, it won't become an internet cafe or coffee shop! But my wife and I intend to make gradual improvements as we want another generation to remember either lunch, high tea or afternoon tea at the trees. We look forward to welcoming customers old and new at the Trees.

Go to the third floor on that building. For a family restaurant it makes me sick to think that there's a brothel above it.

We told the police....

I remember my gran taking me there when I was just a wee "Yankee" spending the summer with her in Scotland, back in 1973. We spent the day together, taking a city bus tour, going out to the Green and Kelvingrove, then finally back to Union Street to get the train to Hamilton, then by bus to High Blantyre. But first, we had oor tea at The Trees.

Gran worked as a matron at the Central Hotel for many, many years, and sometimes she and the lassies frae the Central would have their tea at The Trees. She though it was special to bring me there.

The meal was "Braised Beef" with mash and peas. I still remember that afternoon well. Thanks for reminding me.
