FOOD AND DRINK

THE choice of food and drink on offer in Glasgow is endless, its dining scene being regarded as one of the best in the UK.

Choose from brunch in a cafe, lunch in a museum or fine dining at a top restaurant. As well as traditional and modern takes on Scottish cuisine, you can literally dine your way around the world within the city with tastes from Japan, Turkey and Brazil, to name just a few.

In addition to Glasgow’s food scene, its drinks scene certainly does not disappoint. Choose your favourite tipple and treat yourself to a relaxing drink (responsibly, of course). There are many options for afternoon tea; the traditional at the Willow Tea Rooms, the indulgent at the Blythswood Square Hotel and the creative at the Cup Lounge, where afternoon teas come with gin, prosecco or cocktails.

The Pot Still boasts one of the finest collections of malt whisky in Scotland; but don’t worry, the knowledgeable staff are always on hand to help you choose which one to try.

Or head to Gin71 with one of the largest selections of gin in the city, where you will also find Glasgow’s very first gin, Makar.

If beer is more your thing, then be sure to try out the ever-growing selection of craft beers, from BrewDog to the West and Drygate Breweries. Take a tour of the Wellpark Brewery, home to Tennent’s, which has been established here for more than 450 years.

Whatever you are up to in the city, there is always time to stop and experience the incredible selection of flavours on offer.
