Dining in Glasgow
In recent years, Glasgow has surpassed Edinburgh's culinary scene. The city is Scotland's food capital — more diverse, experimental, and affordable:
What you must eat in Glasgow
- The Glasgow Curry: Glasgow rightly claims to be the curry capital of Britain. Chicken Tikka Masala is said to have been invented here. The best curry houses can be found around Gibson Street in the West End and on Byres Road.
- Chippy (Fish & Chips): Glasgow-style: with salt and sauce (not vinegar!), accompanied by an Irn-Bru (Scotland's orange national soda, "Scotland's other national drink").
- Finnieston Strip: Argyle Street in Finnieston has turned into a restaurant mile — from seafood (Crabshakk) to vegan cuisine to New Scottish Cuisine.
- Sunday Roast: The classic Sunday roast in the pub — roast beef or lamb with Yorkshire pudding, potatoes, and vegetables. A British ritual.
