 Best Restaurants in GlasgowAs 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.
