Stout white building with a welcoming Scottish interior that evokes a distant rural life. Great pub and restaurant with rooms (see Babbity Bowster) .

A true fine dining experience that should not be missed. The chef Brian Maule combines the greatness of classic french cuisine with modern dishes that use top quality Scottish produce.

Café in the broadest sense: breakfast, coffee, afternoon tea and all main meals and snacks in between. A seasonal evening menu scampers the larders of Europe.

Looking like it’s been around for aeons (though only in fact since the late 1980s), City Merchant is a Gallic-Scottish delight. Alongside some meaty mains, fish is the star.

Popular hangout for drinks and great pizzas – simple and consistently good.

Very Italian. Lively, crowded and displaying a genuine love of food in a living, breathing, everyday sense. Restaurant on Bath St, with a café and deli round the corner.

A wonderful place to imbibe, in equal measure, splendid cocktails and the Art Deco surrounds. Expensive in the main restaurant but fresh seafood a bargain in the brasserie.

Elegant retreat for Glasgow’s modish people. Loungy in the bar, while the restaurant gains plaudits by the score for its invention and exemplary quality (Pacific rim and European flavours).

Where the nation’s fish, beef, lamb and game are mixed with the world’s sauces, herbs and spices. Eclectic mix of flavours, but Stravaigin’s judicious touch wins the day.

On a cobbled road in the West End stands this home to 30 years of culinary excellence. Always a champion of Scottish produce, this is Glasgow at its most endearing.
