Glasgow

A Food Crawl Through Glasgow

Scotland's best eating city, and it's not even close.

Glasgow doesn't need the hype because it already has the food. From the Finnieston strip to the Barras, this is a city that takes eating seriously without taking itself too seriously. Start hungry. Finish proud.

The Ubiquitous Chip has been a Glasgow institution since 1971 and feels exactly like that, a room full of people who know they're somewhere good. Ox and Finch operates in a different register entirely: small plates, big ideas, the kind of cooking that makes you want to cancel your plans and keep ordering.

Walk the Finnieston strip on a Saturday evening. Let it take as long as it takes.
