The excellent natural ingredients combined with imaginative recipes from a new breed of inventive chefs have transformed the eating culture and placed Glasgow firmly on the culinary map. Harden’s Top UK Restaurants recently voted it the top regional city for the choice and quality of restaurants. The revitalisation of the city means that you can now find a wide choice of styles from traditional Scottish cuisine to contemporary and fusion restaurants. If you are looking for the very best, then head to the city centre where you will find some of the city's top restaurants around West Regent and Bath streets and in the Merchant City. Local cuisine
Haggis is the dish that most people associate with Scottish cuisine; however, the city's restaurants now have so much more to offer. The excellent local produce and fine natural ingredients are helping chefs to re-create some of culinary heritage to produce some wonderful dishes. Look out for seafood dishes, especially the Scottish salmon which is among the best in the world. The Aberdeen-Angus breed of beef cattle is renowned for rich and tasty meat and makes excellent steaks. Also worth looking out for are dishes containing game, lamb, venison and desserts using some of the delicate summer fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and blackberries. |
