Neighbourhood restaurants and bars will spring to life this weekend as city centre dining rooms welcome guests for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you want to freshen up your weekend consider adding some of these 15 tried and tested Glasgow hangouts to your routine.
5. The Gannet
A Finnieston favourite where you will find some of the best dishes in the city. Fine dining with distinctively Glaswegian hospitality. 1155 Argyle St, Finnieston G3 8TB
6. Big Counter
Many of the city's top restaurateurs choose to spend their weekends off dining at Big Counter. A constantly changing, surprising and playful menu delivered in a casual, cool dining room. 76 Victoria Rd G42 7AA
7. Salt and Chilli Oriental
Hong Kong style street food from local TV chef Jimmy Lee. Order a spicy katsu chicken curry, salt and chilli king prawn with jasmine rice – named by Deliveroo as one of the top ten takeaway dishes in the UK – and pulled duck bao buns. The Cantonese restaurant and bar has become a local favourite. 67 Kilmarnock Road, Shawlands G41 3YR.
