New today: Glasgow Restaurant Power Rankings
EXCLUSIVE: Who will come out on top in the first week of our new definitive list of what's hot in town?
THE definitive list of the hottest places to eat in Glasgow has been launched – and they will be updated only in this newspaper every Thursday.
The Glasgow Restaurant Power Rankings are a major part of a new collaboration between the Glasgow Times newspaper and popular website Glasgowist.
An essential snapshot of the city’s food scene, the list is a weekly countdown of the most-talked-about, mustvisit restaurants in Glasgow right now. The chart is ranked according to one important quality: Who has the most buzz?
New restaurant Gloriosa, founded by former Alchemilla chef Rosie Healey, which has just opened on Argyle Street, has come out on top of the first week’s list, followed by Ox and Finch and Julie’s Kopitiam.
Restaurants will move up and down the rankings based on new openings, old favourites, rising star chefs, emerging food trends, seasonal ingredients or new found popularity.
Paul Trainer, editor of Glasgowist, said: “Glasgow is brimming with creativity and the food scene has never been more competitive. We’re taking a long, hard look each week to compile a chart of the most-talkedabout, must-visit food places.
“There’s around 2000 restaurants in the city right now. The Glasgow Power List is made up of ones at the very top of their game.
“We are looking forward to all the food conversations to come as part of the Glasgow Times’ renewed focus on the best people and places in the city.”
