Where to eat in glasgow

[Moominfan]

Going for a weekend visit. Would really appreciate some recommendations :)

City centre or outlying areas?

City centre

There's some good places in merchant city area - the Mexican place there (Pancho Villas) does amazing fajitas. There's a place on argyle st, just past central station called Where the Monkey Sleeps - looks like a shell of a place inside but the food is amazing (for lunch time, not sure it's open later). There's also Piccolo Mondo beside it for something a bit nicer decor wise. If you like Chinese then the Amber Regent has always had a good reputation (not been there for years though). There's also a new place called platform - it's in the arches under Central Station. I've not been but a friend has & was raving about the food (street food indoor marketplace). There's different stalls & also a coffee vendor that does amazing coffee too. And the Willow Tearooms is a treat in itself.

That's all off the top of my head, I'm sure there's a few more others can think of.

Panevino in finneston

Are you going with kids?

No child free dinning! So excited its been child friendly places for the past year or so

I went to two fat ladies recently - food was good and nice wine list. Restaurant had nice atmosphere and great staff.

Fanny Trollopes or Ox and Finch. In Finnieston so a 5 minute taxi from city centre but great neighbourhood with buzzing bars and restaurants. Ooh and the bar at the Blythswood Square hotel does great cocktails.
Have a wonderful time!

I would head for Finnieston - more interesting independent restaurants, really great vibe and you can have a wander round the Kelvingrove Museum or park beforehand.

• 6 by Nico
• Ox & Finch
• Crab Shak
• Kelvingrove Cafe
• The Gannet

Alternatively, further up into the West End towards Byres Road:

• Cail Bruich
• Ubiquitous Chip - relaxed dining in the Brasserie, more formal in the Restaurant
• Number 16

I'm sure someone else can advise you of similar restaurants nearer the city centre, but don't discount hopping on the subway for a few minutes.

I went to TwoFatLadies years back and we had a lovely meal, there's a couple of sites isn't there?

But yes staff were lovely, I had a quibble about a sauce and waitress immediately said they could serve it separately so it didn't cover my meal and spoil it if I wasn''t keen. It was lovely anyway!

Also have memories of the cutest bar, and too many Brandy Alexanders! ...Vronis I think it was!

Love child free eating and drinking! Have a great time OP!!

Rogano's for a treat is excellent.
