From globally-inspired
cuisine to the best traditional dishes, when it comes
to restaurants Glasgow really does lead the way in Scotland.
There’s an eclectic range of venues to eat in across
the city and whatever your budget or particular taste
you’ll find plenty to appeal.
If you want to push the boat and go for exquisite dining
in a luxurious location there’s some fine Michelin-starred
restaurants to take advantage of. Glasgow has lots of
famous names around and one you can always count on for
a slice of exotic cuisine is Malmaison [map].
The brasserie is located in the crypt of the Malmaison
Hotel at West George Street. The restaurant has an excellent
reputation for offering fabulous French cuisine and there’s
plenty of classics on offer as well as some unusual fusion
food. Soak up the dark and luxurious surroundings and
dine by candlelight.
Perhaps you’d like the opportunity to dress up and
dine in decadence, if so head to Supper Club [map],
Albion Street, Merchant Square, which is a luxurious restaurant
recreating the supper clubs of the 1930s and 40s. It is
advisable to book at least a week in advance as the club
is extremely popular. The dress code encourages diners
to wear their very best evening-wear and the scene is
set for the evening with the help of deep plush carpets,
soft backed chairs, and a baby grand piano from which
the strains of Frank Sinatra and Nina Simone softly float
into the evening air.
Take a break from a day of shopping and enjoy one of Glasgow’s
best sandwich bars or coffee shops. Go for some real Scottish
charm to accompany your BLT and head to Babbity Bowster,
Blackfriars Street, Merchant City [map],
which is a particular favourite for brunch. Hidden away
in a haven of greenery and offering al fresco dining,
the bar even has its own ale called Babbity Thistle Ale
which is well worth a taste.
It’s not only Scottish cuisine that is in plentiful
supply in Glasgow, there’s hundreds of restaurants
offering something a little different. Media types and
businesspeople love to head to Fusion [map],
Byres Road, which is one of Glasgow’s most fashionable
sushi restaurants. Sit at the bar and watch the chef create
his magic as he cooks up dishes ranging from soup and
noodles to tempura dishes and mixed sushi. There’s
also some traditional Japanese desserts on offer. If you’re
going with a group of friends book one of the taster plates
so that you can try bits and pieces of more than 18 different
dishes.
Don’t worry if this all sounds a bit too expensive
for your budget, we’ve also put together a guide
for those who want to make their money stretch during
their visit to Glasgow.
