- Celentano’s. What is it? Michelin-awarded, Italian-inspired dishes. Why go? Celentano chef-owners Dean and Anna Parker were inspired by their honeymoon trip to Italy – though many dishes use Scottish meats, plus herbs and honey from the restaurant’s own garden and beehive.
- Glaschu. What is it? Scottish fine dining in the heart of town. Why go? Glaschu (pronounced ‘glas-a-hoo’) is the Gaelic name for Glasgow, meaning ‘dear green place.’
- Kimchi Cult. What is it? Korean-style fast food in Glasgow’s West End. Why go? Starting life as a food stall in London, Kimchi Cult eventually found a permanent home in Glasgow, from which they continue to initiate locals in bold Korean flavours and unique menu options.
- Ox and Finch. Restaurants. What is it? The small plates trend is done very well at this slick Sauchiehall Street restaurant. Why go? Opened in 2014, when it fast established itself as one of the city’s most exciting new restaurants, Ox and Finch is a rare thing on Glasgow’s generally casual dining scene: one of those places you need to book well in advance.
- Nice’n’Sleazy. Restaurants. Coffeeshops. Dimly lit and decked out with colourful murals, funky low-hanging lamps and beat-up leather booths, this ground-floor café-bar is a buzzing place.
- The Old Hairdresser’s. Bars and pubs. Just opposite sister venue Stereo and owned by the folks behind Mono, The Flying Duck and The 78, The Old Hairdresser’s started life in 2011.
- Stravaigin. Restaurants. Burgers. To dine here, you might have to wait at peak times, but the bar area is a cool place to linger. Stravaigin opened in 1995, and taking its title from the an old Scottish word meaning ‘to wander aimlessly with intent’, the ambience here is artfully bucolic – think exposed stone walls, open fire, chunky wooden beams, an iron staircase tangled with twinkling fairly lights and huge floor-to-ceiling windows that swing fully open in the summertime (when there are also tables outside on Gibson Street).
- Mono. Restaurants. Coffeeshops. A vegan café-bar, music venue and sometime exhibition space hosting one of the best record stores in the world in Monorail: there’s a lot to love about Mono.
- Paesano. Paesano is the Italian haven beloved by most weegies, and one of the best restaurants out there. A place for traditional Neapolitan pizza, Paesano Pizza uses Artisan wood-fired ovens to achieve the most authentic taste, with all the ingredients imported straight from Italy.
- Glaschu. Honestly, we were pleasantly surprised by this one and will be shouting about it from the Glasgow rooftops. Glaschu (pronounced Glas-a-hoo) is a Scottish fine dining spot located in Merchant City’s Royal Exchange Square and can be considered one of the best restaurants in Glasgow.
- Porter & Rye. This one’s for the meat lovers out there, who appreciate the quality of produce and enjoy creative efforts to take those prime cuts to new heights.
- Cail Bruich. Cail Bruich is a Michelin Star titan in Glasgow led by Chef Lorna McNee, having won the prestigious accolade for three years in a row as of 2023.

Dean and Anna Parker love Italy. Dean cooked in Campania prior to opening London’s lauded Sorella, and their honeymoon consisted of a foodie road trip from Italy’s meaty, buttery northern provinces, via 2kg Fiorentina steaks in Montepulciano, to the country’s sun-ripened, abundant south. The couple find Italian food’s local, seasonable, sustainable...
Specialising in fresh pasta, made by hand daily, Sugo is a little sister to Glasgow stalwart Paesano Pizza and serves regional Italian dishes inspired by kitchens from Lazio to Lombardy, Puglia to Piedmont. Take your pick from a choice of nine different plates (think comforting slow-cooked beef ragu clinging to silky pappardelle or sweet San Marzan...
Inspired by Tokyo’s izakaya bars, Mikaku brings neon late-night vibes to Glasgow’s Queen Street. Food-wise, portions are designed to share, so start off with miso broth – which can be ordered extra spicy – pepped up with pork, beansprouts and spring onion, before tucking into panko-coated lotus root skewers and lemon pepper chicken wings. If you li...
This brilliantly named restaurant is also on The Finnieston Strip. Great staff, well-prepared and prettily presented seasonal Scottish ingredients (beef, sea trout, mutton…) put it a cut above many others. This is a place for a smart meal out in an unpretentious setting: think pared-down wooden-floor, wooden-chairs and brick walls. The attention an...
Tucked away behind its own pub in a cobbled alley just off Byres Road, The Chip is a Glasgow institution. It’s been feeding Glasgow since the Seventies (back then it was a pioneer of Scottish regionalism, a world away from the ‘ubiquitous chips and sausage' of the time) and it’s still doing pretty much the same thing in the prettiest room in town. ...
Partick Duck Club offers plates of casual food made with love and skill. Ping pong ball-sized crab doughnuts are a light choux mix of white crabmeat and squishy dough, fried to just-golden. A roast duck and pistachio terrine is a meaty, homely starter of what tastes like confit duck served with toasted brioche and a lovely summer pea salad. Mains i...
There are a lot of great places to eat steak and drink cocktails in Glasgow these days, so why choose Porter & Rye in Finnieston? Well, the steaks are excellent, including less obvious cuts like bavette and onglet. The beef is sourced from one local farm: Gaindykehead of Airdrie, with breeds including Belted Galloway, Aberdeen Angus, Charolais and ...
There's stiff competition for who makes the best pizzas in Glasgow but Paesano is definitely up there among the contenders. Its pizza bases are made using a yeast and sourdough hybrid proofed for over 48 hours before being cooked at 500C in artisan-built, wood-fired ovens shipped over from Naples; the result is a moist, light, soft crust. There are...
Another small-plate restaurant in Finnieston that’s more popular than ever, Ox and Finch is casual with timber and tiles décor, large windows, and a mix-and-match menu that’s cooked and prepared with care and imagination. Local venison carpaccio is perfectly seared to bring out its juniper and pepper crust and served with a delightfully creamy Scot...
There’s not much left to say about this Glasgow institution (also on that Argyll St strip), buzzing since 2009. If you love fish and shellfish, go. With Scotland’s shores offering some of the best seafood in the world, this is where to enjoy it. They say, ‘We continue to offer the best fish and shellfish available in Scotland, every day.’ And that’...
