Glasgow Travel Guide

Best Restaurants in Glasgow

As the city gradually becomes more international and cosmopolitan, the restaurants in Glasgow follow suit. Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay is from the fair city, and though it lacks an international reputation for fine dining, you''ll find plenty of good options when looking for places to eat Glasgow.

Interestingly enough, the restaurant scene in Glasgow has been named the ''Curry Capital of Britain'', and you''ll find a number of good Indian restaurants for all budgets, as well as the ubiquitous fish and chips takeaways. Glasgow is home to large immigrant populations, so there are tasty eateries that serve Greek, Korean, Lebanese, Spanish, Japanese, and Turkish cuisine in addition to the usual Chinese, Italian and Thai options.

Many Glasgow restaurants close for either Sunday or Monday. Diners are expected to tip waitstaff around 10%, or 15-20% for very good service. Smoking is prohibited in all restaurants and bars in Scotland.

La Parmigiana

There are a number of popular Italian restaurants in Glasgow, and La Parmigiana is among the favourites. The elegant eatery has been run by the same family for three generations, and the years of experience show in the delicious food and discreet service. While the prices are not cheap, those looking for fine dining in Glasgow, particularly wonderful Italian dishes like grilled salmon with honey-roasted vegetables or pan-fried pork cutlet with caramelized apple, will want to make a reservation at La Parmigiana.

Sibbos Delhi Dhabba

Despite its small size, Sibbo's Delhi Dhabba is extremely popular with both tourists and locals, and the ever-changing menu of Indian staples ranging from Tandoori steak to vegetable samosas doesn't disappoint. Like many restaurants in Glasgow, Sibbo's offers a special pre-theatre menu.

For good, local Scottish food in Glasgow, many head to Fanny Trollope's.
