This cosmopolitan city boasts such a wide variety of eating out choices that you could dine in a different place for every meal of your holiday and still not have sampled the full culinary potential of Glasgow.
As Scotland's west coast capital Glasgow has been a centre of food trade for centuries perched as it is in a safe harbour on the Clyde with easy access to deep water moorings further down river.
But of course Glasgow is also a centre for trade in our own national delicacies from farm and wildslmon, to all manner of shellfish and other seafood as well as the amazong beef from Scotland's world famous Aberdeen Angus and Belted Galloway herds.
And we can't forget Scotland's vegetable and fruit larder, a cornucopia of the tastiest choices imaginable from the fertile fields of the Central Belt and Perthshire.
All of these unbeatable fresh resources are a gift to the imaginative chefs who create incredible dishes from around the world using the gift of Scotalnd's enviable resources.
Don't come to Glasgow without taking the time to hunt out some of the hidden gems which will enchant and amaze gourmands of all types.
Brave new beginnings ...
It has been a strange old world for the restaurant community since Covid 19 made its presence felt. Some well kent catering faces have gone down under the strain, others are picking up the pieces and starting again but there are some very brave and bold newcomers who have used the lockdown to plan their new ventures and are now beginning to make their presence felt, adding their flair to the culinary collage that makes eating out in Glasgow such an exciting adventure.

Gallowgate & the Barras
Are ye dancin'? Photo by Finlay McWalter
Are ye askin'?
The Gallowgate, that stretch of Glasgow's east end that begins just a few minutes' walk away from Buchanan Street has a couthy charm mixed with a growing modern vibe that makes it unique in the city.
It has been said that Gallowgate retains "much of its distinctive earthy charm" despite wholesale demolition and regeneration and provides a taste of the city's authentic character.
But things are changing. The area is increasingly home to creative businesses and a new generation of pubs and restaurants.
The Creative East End organisation, based at 200 Gallowgate, and led by Lauren Stewart and Jen McGlone, provides space for initiatives and ideas to flourish in the interests of economic growth and regeneration.
Over at Calton Entry, the thriving BAaD - Barras Art and Design - includes a fish restaurant, A'Challtainn, as well as concerts and a Sunday indoor market.
The once famous Baird's Bar has reopened as a restaurant, 226 Gallowgate, and in Bain Street, close by the Barrowland, there is Saint Luke's, a noted livemusic venue, and the award-winning Winged Ox Bar & Kitchen.
Other key local venues are the Van Winkle Bourbon BBQ Grill, at 267 and the award-winning pub. Hielan' Jessie, at 374 and ,of course, WEST Brewery, at the Templeton Building on Glasgow Green.
'Barras Queen' Maggie McIver started a market that became a legend
The original Barrowland Ballroom opened in 1934 in a mercantile area east of Glasgow’s city centre and was built by “Barras Queen” Maggie McIver and her husband James.
The Barrowland building includes large street-level halls used for the weekend markets, with a sizeable weatherproof hall above.
The front of the building boasts a distinctive neon sign which is believed to be the biggest of its kind in the UK.
Bowie, Biffy Clyro, Oasis, U2, The Stranglers, The Clash, The Smiths, Big Country, Muse, Foo Fighters, Franz Ferdinand, Texas, Simple Minds, Snow Patrol, SLF, The Vatersay Boys and many others have played the Ballroom.
Adjacent to the Ballroom is the Barrowland Park where there is a pathway which features the names of many artists ,who have played at the Ballroom over the decades.
