  • Crabshakk BotanicsHillhead

    “I love seafood and quite like a fancy bar, so Crabshakk Botanics is a winner for its selection of fish and seafood, great wine list and the opportunity to walk in and grab a seat at the bar - the latter also makes it a welcoming place to eat solo.”

  • Heraghty's BarStrathbungo

    “and Heraghty's for a Guinness.”

  • NanakusaCity Centre

    “Nanakusa on Sauchiehall Street is one of the first places I would have tried Japanese food... I love all sushi, dumplings, and katsu but have a fondness for their yasai cha han - rice, vegetables and tofu lightly and perfectly seasoned.”
