~ FOOD AND DRINK ~

The importance of food and drink, how and where we socialise when visiting a new city, just cannot be underestimated. Glasgow has really come into its own in recent years and offers endless choices when it comes to eating out.

If daytime eating out is a big favourite of yours, you will be in good company in Glasgow. Us Glaswegians love meeting up for lingering weekend brunch, or afternoon tea. There is nothing more relaxing that sitting down for afternoon tea with a friend or loved one, and where better than in Glasgow than to enjoy this exquisite tradition. Most places will offer three tiers of pure deliciousness.

TOP SPOTS FOR BRUNCH INCLUDE:

Wilson Street Pantry
Located in the heart of Merchant City, brunch is served all day and traditional fare is at the heart of what they have on the menu including Stornoway black pudding and free-range eggs from Corrie Mains Farm.

Canteen 58
What is great about Canteen 58 is its ever-changing menu and super fresh produce. All food served is sourced from local suppliers, and favourite foods include poached egg pots, French toast and of course the traditional Scottish breakfast.
