Glasgow's Finest

Cafe Gandolfi

Gandolfi is a Glasgow institution and we love it. Warm and friendly service, and a menu specialising in Scottish produce. They’ve also got a seafood restaurant a wee bit up the road from the original.

Urban Bar and Brasserie

A bright, spacious restaurant based in the former Bank of England building. Serving seasonal dishes, the menu is varied and most importantly, delicious! It's also an ideal place to stop for a drink in their chic champagne and wine bar.

Gamba

This award winning restaurant is one of the best places in Glasgow to have seafood. There's a Mediterranean ambience and the staff are friendly and attentive. For the non fish eaters there's a choice of meat and vegetarian dishes.

Jamie's Italian

Celebrity chef, Jamie Oliver, has opened his first resturant in Scotland and it doesn't disappoint. His classic Italian food comes with a Jamie twist and is served in stylish laid-back surroundings. Just make sure you go early to avoid having to queue as they don't take reservations for parties of under 8 people.
