Two Fat Ladies
118a Blythswood Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4EG
The second Two Fat Ladies restaurant may be that rare thing - a sequel that's better than the original. The first, at 88 Dumbarton Road, remains a good place to eat, but the new city centre enterprise (open for two years against the West End unit's 17…

450 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
This unassuming little spot on Dumbarton Road playfully lulls patrons into a false sense of carelessness: a shower curtain keeps the draft out, and paintings on the wall are a cheerful hotchpotch of styles and eras. There's a BYOB policy (though it is…
