- The MacMaster is in Glasgow Scotland looking for a traditional Scottish Breakfast and ended up in an Italian restaurant called Coia's Cafe. Much to the surprise of The MacMaster he ended up with the traditional breakfast of kings and what could be the best breakfast he's ever reviewed in the history of the channel. Thank You Scotland, this is by far one of The Best Restaurants in Glasgow.

The sausage is called either square, lorne or slice, depending on which area you come from. Call it flat sausage in front of a Scot again though and you may get that Glesga (Glasgow) kiss!
Ha ha
Millions of Italians fled Italy to escape poverty, I think it was between 1880 and 1914 . Thousand landed in Scotland and settled in Glasgow and other city’s . With them they brought there customs, culture and food, and Scotland is better off for their presence. A case of immigration work perfectly. Haste ye back big man 👍
They must have been pretty bloody desperate if they fled to Scotland I'm sure they received a warm welcome from the natives
Can't believe people are complaining about £12 for a Breakfast, toast & Coffee.
Coia’s cafe is a Glasgow institution, the food is top notch. Glad you enjoyed it, and an Englishman enjoying the square sausage must be a first 😅!
Love Lorne sausages.
I worked all over Scotland about ten odd years ago and had many a good breakfast.
The square sausage was ace but the haggis was out of this world,
Not to mention the black pudding suppas as well 👍
I always buy square sausage from Herons in England,love it.
@@Nosdos where I am in the East Midlands its bloody hard to find. Near neddle in haystack stuff.
Well my nick name is cola so it must be good lol 😂
I went to Glasgow to watch Russell Brand the people were amazing, so nice I've been back a few times now . Nice drive from Yorkshire too.
Glad that Glasgow did not disappoint. ❤ Glasgow.
Welcome to Glasgow anytime Lee 👍
You asked about the big Italian influence in Glasgow. Mass wartime immigration. They're a well loved, deeply ingrained part of the city. The much-maligned 'Scottish deep fried pizza' actually originates from the Italian immigrants, particularly from those from Naples who went on to run fish and chip shops. Pizza Napoli - deep fried.
Lee that breakfast looks absolutely delicious I like that they don’t pre butter the toast, the breakfast itself looks very very delicious. The place itself look great looks clean and the staff seem to be very friendly, the waiter to the side of you having a laugh and joke with customers. I’d definitely give it a 10 it’s getting harder to find great service and great food.👍🏴
You've not had a Glasgow kiss, my friend, because you're our favourite Sassenach x Haste ye back!
Flat sausage is known as square slice here, glad you enjoyed your time in Glasgow
I’d want 2 eggs and 2 sausages for the price
Little history into this family owned business. A member of this family is called Paul Coia and he was a tv celebrity throughout the uk as well as doing radio work. He was the first voice to be heard on Channel 4 back in November 2nd 1982 to introduce Countdown to the viewers as Countdown was the first to be aired on Channel 4 . He married a former Miss England Debbie Greenwood. Look him up. That’s his family business you were in .
12 years spent living in Glasgow great city to live/visit. The university cafe 😍
Our people and the food make up for the lousy weather. Glad you enjoyed the city.
Lee you are telling things as you see it, don't ever be ashamed. Folks can see your reviews as honesty. That's what makes your vlogs so great, honest and you always say, "judge for yourself" 👍
Now that's a proper breakfast you can't beat it good old glasgow.
I was at Coia's this morning, first time there. Fabulous food and service. All very reasonably priced as well. Well recommended.
The Italian pow’s we’re allowed to stay after ww2 and were prominent in Ayrshire and the surrounding areas. Sadly a lot of the Italian community fell foul of a Scarlet Fever outbreak and a lot of people lost their lives.
Prestwick and Muirkirk in Ayrshire had a large community of these people and there presence is still seen in the numerous ice cream parlours in the areas.
Some AMAZING ice cream in Ayrshire , some sadly gone .
Renaldo’s in Ayr still selling the classic gelato that cannot be beat !
Good to see you enjoyed your breakfast in Glasgow, being Glaswegian I'm chuffed that you said it could be the best breakfast you have had, 🏴👍
The flat sausage is called square sausage in Scotland 🏴 enjoy 😊
When McMaster says its the best it's the greatest what a legend 🙌
Good morning from west Central Scotland, we have small communities in most parts here think a lot of them came over late 40s 50s. We actually had a small Coias cafe near where I stay, 1 of original family still living in family home they were famous for best ice cream, also I of the Coias used 2 present tv our STV here. Glad u enjoyed your time in Glasgow we are by nature very friendly country. Haste ye back 🙂
Paul Coia was also the first voice heard on Channel 4.
What a lovely restaurant, the decor is beautiful as too is the brekkie by your comments. Mega. Thank you xx
Keep the great videos coming and thankyou for all your time and effort making these
Talking about the see you Jimmy thing. One of my brothers hated the Dwarf character from The Hobbit Five Armies movie voiced ny Billy Connolly. He had red hair and you might remember in the end battle he rode around headbutting people in a see you Jimmy sort of way. My brother said that was stereotyping Scots. And he had a point 🙂
Thank you for the shout out, pleased you enjoyed Coias its a regular place for me. Happy you didn’t get a Glesga Kiss, am guessing that was Sunday morning and that was a mammoth walk you did! Haste ye back soon!
Glasgow for food simply the best.
*This Breakfast looked banging.* *Even better when the service is fantastic.*
Lee, I'm really glad you're feeling better, but please don't burn yourself out again and keep putting yourself first. Love you dearly xx ❤️
That does look a good breakfast. I’m in Glasgow in May, definitely going to give it a try. Got to say, the amount of good restaurants and cafes in Glasgow is huge. Glaswegians are definitely spoilt when it comes to eating out. The Italians know how to do hospitality. Love La Vita in the centre of town for an Italian meal.
Great to see you up in Glasgow Lee
Welcome back any time! Nice to see you enjoying our hospitality. Your breakfast looked delicious. 9/10
I’m from Glasgow found this today. You left the city and walked into an area called Dennistoun which is the number 1 place in west Scotland to live. Well the Glasgow kiss originated because Glaswegians in a fight would use the Glasgow kiss. Us Glaswegians are a friendly bunch that’s why tartan army is loved all over the world
Number one place to live 😂😂😂…how long since you have been there,it’s dangerous as hell.
It has been gentrified somewhat but no way Jose it is the #No 1 place to live in Glasgow never mind the west coast of Scotland. Lewis Capaldi comes from there as an example. Used to get the number 6 bus through it to change to another to go to Southside but never liked waiting on the bus in Duke Street, it was scary at night!
@@paulritchie5868 it’s been years to be honest I read it.
Wow What a brilliant scottish breakfast as you say Lee you pay for the full experience and QUALITY NOT QUANTITY COUNTS!! And that whole experience was Quallity 12/10 from me Bralliant foodI love Scotland and the people as you say are Really nice 🤓👍
Glasgow has the best currys in the country
I'm happy your Glasgow experience was memorable, it really is a foody city like no other. Great cafes and restaurants are literally everywhere you go.
Nice to see you back up in Scotland again Lee. Glad you enjoyed the food as a whole. . Keep up the good work. Best wishes from Scotland.
That looked absolutely amazing Lee proper nice. Square sausage is amazing 👍🏻👍🏻. Lovely little tour
Calling the square sausage a flat sausage had the gf in stitches 😂
They call it flat in Edinburgh 😂
@@johnbarrowman2902 lorne
Scottish square sausage the best!!! Great upload mate
Dennistoun has been up cycling for years. A great area for a bite to eat. Italians came as prisoners of war. Made ice creme and married the girls. Glasgow kiss does exist but it’s not a dangerous city. Very friendly.
Fantastic vlogs on Scotland, my wife and I have really enjoyed them. I hope one day you will visit the lovely town of Ayr right on the coast fish&chips breakfasts golore
Just one last comment from me is I hope you went to a butcher and got yourself some square sausage/Lorne sausage and potato scones. I have a few family members in London and when they come up to Glasgow they always have potato scones and lorne sausage packed along with Plain bread. So glad you enjoyed Glasgow👍
Thanks Lee, wish you could have stayed longer xx❤
Glad you enjoyed your visit to my fair City 👍
I visited Coia's Cafe September 2021 with friends loved the scrambled eggs and salmon with toast and jam, I appreciate your good feedback on our best restaurants in Glasgow, it really promotes our city well and from a Glaswegian thanks very much. 😊🍳
What a cracking looking breakfast Lee. That really was a first class Scottish breakfast with the Lorne sausage. Over the years I’ve been to Scotland I’ve always enjoyed the Scottish one over an English. From Inverness, Perth, Oban, Edinburgh, Fort William at hotels or self catering cottages I’ve always thoroughly enjoyed Scotland. Never heard of that Glaswegian kiss though but I know exactly what you mean Lee. Wouldn’t want to be in the receiving end however. After the disappointment of the fish & chips this has made amends.😉👍
By the way it's a scone as in gone not a scooooooooone!
Alfredo’s place is fantastic. I went to primary school with him when his Dad ran the original cafe that was further along Duke St. Enjoy. Glad you loved our city👍
The first Italian immigrants arrived in Scotland in the 1890s. In the early days, many found work selling Catholic statues in the growing Catholic communities across the country. By 1914, the Italians dominated the café trade in the West of Scotland - and were at the forefront of popularising the fish supper.28 Feb 2019
Seem to recall a lot of Italian POW’s were sent to Scotland… rebuilt their lives here after the war ended
Another great video Lee. That café looked lush. The food looked really nice 10/10.
Brilliant. Looked like a very nice Restaurant! Breakfast looked scrumptious! Cheerio young man!
Good to see content in the east end of glasgow best end of the city by far what you see is what you get🙏 coias is lovely
The square sausage has a slang as a slice 😊
Glad you enjoyed your short stay in Glasgow 👍
Coias has been around longer than you and I, Lee and it is fantastic, so a good choice. Glad you enjoyed Glasgow and hope you come back soon as there is so much more you would love 😊
Lee, Coias Cafe is in Denniston which is just outside the City Centre - Glasgow is a good size, made up of the city centre then outlying districts, and Coias have been there for about a hundred years and are quality - like other Italian Familys who came to Scotland last century - Equi’s are another - in the outskirts of Glasgow - superb fish and Chips and the best Ice Cream, but Coia’s are fanatastic to have a meal in, and enjoy the place - lorne sausage, are split into two types - Most call them lorne, some are called - Steak Slice , just better quality meat, not the cheap frozen ones you can buy that are full of crap and low quality meat.
You were in Dennistoun, fair play for walking it from the Trongate, us Scots know how to do a fried breakfast, that square sausage looked excellent, definitely from a butchers, same goes for a curry, Glasgow has some of the best Indian restaurants in the UK.
Fantastic video, Lee. I’ll be making a B-line for Coia’s first time I get to go home again!
Summer in Glasgow 's the 23rd to the 27th of July.
I think that you're being a bit optimistic in thinking that we gets 4 days of Summer bristolsinic 😳
Couple of interesting facts about Dennistoun for ye Lee
There's a statue of Buffalo Bill there (he did some wild west shows there)
and it's where Lulu comes from
There ye go 😁
Great to see you in Glasgow Lee - enjoyed your reviews!
get that brekie in most cafes in scotland 4half that price
Colas cafe has always been the best whether you were going for ice cream or later meals. Glasgow loves coias.
Great video, look forward to seeing you up in Glasgow again soon. Plenty of hidden food diamonds in this city
10/10 for the food. All I can say HOW MUCH.
Started off as ice cream shop years ago Italian family run still was one small shop now own few shops ❤
Glasgow redeemed. 10+ for a delicious looking breakfast in beautiful surroundings 🎉
a lot of Italians left Italy because of the world wars. A lot emigrated to Buenos Aires, Argentina where i am living and they went to many other places too, including Scotland. Remember Lena Zavaroni from a Scottish island who won Opportunity Knocks many moons ago. love and light
Good morning my friend…really good to see you enjoying the experience.
Did I not say come to Glasgow?? Thanks for visiting...make it longer and u should do a meet n greet x👍
What u said about people saying hey see u Jimmy..we don't say that😂😂
@@randomgameplay9950 totally an English comedy invention a la russ Abbott 😂
Come back to Glasgow lad and we can have a sesh😂
British pounds LEE, we take money from the four nations whereas we struggle in England to hand over Scottish money, well apart from places like Newcastle and Liverpool.
It’s funny how cities/ places either live up to their reputations or not. Many years back we spent a couple of weeks in New York, not any sign of trouble or unpleasantness of any description, came back to the UK and spent the night in Keswick in the lake district witnessed the biggest public punch up I’ve ever seen, it was so funny, we had to laugh, lol. Loving the films Lee 👏👍😀
Nice to see you better mate this flog hits home showing how hard it really is to have a TH-cam channel and I must admit was always looking forward to every night watching you vid then when u stopped I was gutted but understood why you done it health family come first mate take it easy and keep up the great work you do bud 👍👍👍❤
Flat sausage it isnae, it's square sausage
SLICE
Lorne
Burnistoun voice
Ya Kanny beat Glasgy, lovely place missed you 😅😅 love just outside Glasgow glad you enjoyed it ❤x
Coias was originally in the small unit with a single door entrance onto the Duke street took over the corner shop and extended their shop into it and later built the new build flats above .
Duke St is the longest street in the British Isles!
Everyone knows Scotland does the best fry ups, pure quality produce ! Just look at the yoke on that egg proper Fresh
Coia's is great. But £12 for a breakfast that doesn't include haggis, white pudding & square sausage? That is NOT the full Scottish!
Haggis for breakfast is not a thing that happens
Passed one of my old workplaces the wellpark brewery on the way there, hope u enjoyed Glasgow despite the weather !
That's one amazing looking breakfast enjoy it my friend.☺
Love this place many memories of visiting with my parents, looks as though it hasn’t changed, love the Glasgow banter! You took one helluva odd route to get there though!
Loved your review Lee. I had settled down with a wee Prosecco to watch and just about choked when you said a flat sausage ha ha…. It’s either Lorne or Square Sliced. 😂. Lots of Italian Fish and Chips shops all over Scotland, as you know they are famed for their gelato but with our weather they diversified into fish and chips as well as ice cream for when we get hot weather which does happen by the way, just not all the time. 🙂👍. Onwards to the next review. 🙂👍
Coias is one of the best Lee. Glad you enjoyed it. 🥰🌞🥰Xxx
I almost lost my mind when I saw my favorite- blood pudding! Enough to make me almost jump through my screen- everything looked great & well worth a spot to check out when I go over there! A well deserved 10+/10 Cheers, 😎👍🇨🇦
Just needed a wee bit a haggis as well. Goes well with the lorne sausage.
Brilliant init Glasgow been twice and can't wait to go again!
Didn't know you were in Scotland again. Your video has if you pardon the pun given me food for thought. I now need to try these two places. I'm in Port Glasgow Inverclyde so getting to Glasgow only takes about 25 to 30 minutes by train. I love fried bread but haven't had it in years. You don't see it often enough in breakfasts. My mother used to make it for us when I was a kid. I'd much rather have it than hash browns. Glad Glasgow didn't dissapoint as of course they say the Tikka Masala was invented in Glasgow.
Another great episode. The menu looked nice but the pizza prices seemed a bit steep. Have a great day everyone!
That looks like a decent plate of grub mate.
wow hah you certainly worked up an appetite for that breakfast because that walk from the city centre to Duke Street is something else. The breakfast looked lovely and yep the ambiance, the service and the quality of the food, all so important. It's a nice cafe that one and i love the decor. Great video 👍
glad you liked city east end part love your channel come again 👍
Very nice plate of food n haste ye back. Lots of lovely Italian n Indian eateries n the dear green place. 👍
I was there last week, outstanding breakfast and service. Even the toast was fantastic. I had two poached eggs added instead of one fried, perfectly done. Best Breakfast I’ve had in the UK. It was only about £11 which included tea.
That looked good lee 👌 hope youve enjoyed it! Onwards my friend!! 😀👍
A lot of Italian POW were brought here during WW2 and they stayed.
I was brought up in cambuslang my Grandpa told me the same story apparently a Italian prison of war camp in the immediate area
Love this video Lee. Also thanks for the introduction to Hale and Pace. Lol
Defo!!! Smashing all of them out my friend when I'm there nxt wk cheers 🍻 👍
