What’s on offer in this upmarket eatery is far removed from the rustic style of cooking you’ll find in any roadside café after which it is named. The chefs have previously cooked for India’s rich and famous bringing with them a majestic, refined…

Zinc tables, novelty spirits behind the bar, walls papered with banknotes and postcards from around the globe: at first glance Brutti Ma Buoni has all the trappings of a travellers’ bar rather than a traditional bistro. But it would be a shame to miss…

Pancho’s is a cavernous place – it seats 160 but with high ceilings and big windows onto Bell Street, it feels even bigger than it is. Unsurprisingly it’s at its best when busy, with an atmosphere ramped up by office parties, groups of conference…

Once headquarters of the Bank of England, the restaurant still has a feel of money about it. With original features like wood panels and an Art Deco ceiling offering a diffused soft light. With striking paintings and leather-clad booths, the overall…

Scallops wrapped in pancetta is a good way to start in this large, airy and stylish basement dining room. The portion is generous and the scallops not overcooked. The antipasto misto is described as a signature dish, but is a little disappointing. It…

Chaophraya sits proudly on the corner of Nelson Mandela Place, holding the title of Europe’s largest Thai restaurant. Climbing the small stairway outside, opulence and grandeur awaits in this A-listed building. Enjoy a cocktail on the first floor before…

This unique venue has the right formula for success – its trendy location, eco ‘Grand Designs’ sky-lit interior, food with thought and provenance paired with sophisticated, copious wines and whiskies ensure a cultured following. Food is weighted to…

Translating from Japanese into English as ‘one’ this noodle bar and sushi stop has been busy since opening on Dumbarton Road ten years ago. In common with its Queen Street twin, diners take up their places on benches alongside large wooden tables amid…

A competition saw this bar named after the decadent 17th-century poet, the 2nd Earl of Rochester, but here’s nothing debauched about this Libertine, which neatly balances daytime bistro and night-time bar. Tall windows line both aspects, allowing diners…

As the name suggests there’s a strong European influence here with wines and antipasti drawn from the owner’s European travels. It serves a fine selection of old world wines, particularly from France and Italy – a great combination with the generous…

The long dining room has a mix of booths and tables, and art deco styling. There’s a magician touring the tables with a pack of cards entertaining families, couples and larger parties. Although not here every night, he’s a Di Maggio’s stalwart. It’s a…

Set in the heart of Candleriggs, Guy's is an unusual find, it has the feeling of a place where something extraordinary could happen. Eclectic décor reflecting the owners fun-loving tastes – film posters, white wood paneling hung with paintings, china…

When thinking of a word to describe Max’s, the most obvious is versatile … Somewhere you can eat fresh, home cooked food without possible bankruptcy in louche art-deco surroundings? Lubricate yourself with strong, tasty mixed drinks, beers, wines and…

Italian tapas is the order of the day in this large airy restaurant. Given it’s part of a chain, it doesn’t feel like the cooking is terribly bespoke. It’s a busy place, though, with many in for a drink and just a couple of dishes rather than a full…

Mansion House is the latest superclub to be unveiled in the Merchant City. Previously Tiger Tiger, it is compartmentalised into various rooms and venues, all with a different vibe but squarely aimed at revellers having a fun-filled evening. Through…

This is something different from the team behind both the Dhabba and Dakhin Indian restaurants - a bar with a small dining room to the rear that features Asia Pacific cuisine of an Indo-Chinese inclination. As we go to press, however, keys had just been…

Tapas eating can fit into a shopping expedition like few other culinary styles – it’s restorative, flexible and convivial, and rarely too heavy or time-consuming. So Barça’s location in Princes Square makes a lot of sense, and after eight years it ranks…

It may not be the most distinctive, and it has a corporate whiff about it, but this restaurant blends wood, leather and glass to create a smart, contemporary yet comfortable diner – well suited to business lunches, shopping bites, office nights out or a…

The Willow Tea Rooms have been part of Sauchiehall St for over 100 years, ever since they were run by Charles Rennie Mackintosh's most loyal patron (and queen of the Victorian tea room) Kate Cranston. At the time of going to print, the future of that…

Boteco’s brightly coloured and dishevelled appearance is entirely in keeping with the sort of place it is. Samba music plays and Brazilian staff dance and laugh behind the bar. And like Brazil, famed for its melting pot of races and nations, its…

Can’t wait until Oktoberfest? Dependable like man’s best friend, Bier Halle rounds up a beer celebration every day. It’s the stalwart of good City Centre drinking dens – bare stone walls, chunky wooden benches and blocks, yet a warm and communal…
