The Finnieston is a snug former drovers' tavern on Argyle Street, Glasgow, pairing sustainable Scottish seafood with more than 60 gins in a candlelit room.
OrderA gin and tonic from the long list, then whatever shellfish is freshest that day.
TipIt is as much a gin bar as a restaurant, so come early for a drink before the kitchen gets busy.
Mother India has served home-style Indian cooking in Glasgow's West End since 1990, a warren of small rooms famous for its sharing plates and slow-cooked dal.
OrderBuild a table of small dishes to share; the aubergine and the karahi lamb are long-time regulars' picks.
TipThe tapas-style spin-off, Mother India's Cafe on Argyle Street, is the cheaper way to eat the same kitchen's cooking.
Stravaigin has cooked 'think global, eat local' in Glasgow's West End since 1994, a Gibson Street basement pairing homemade haggis with pan-Asian plates.
OrderThe homemade haggis, neeps and tatties, on the menu since the restaurant opened.
TipThe ground-floor cafe-bar takes walk-ins and shares the kitchen; the basement restaurant is the sit-down booking.
Cafe Gandolfi has anchored Glasgow's Merchant City since 1979, a warm room of hand-carved oak serving Scottish classics like Cullen skink and smoked venison.
OrderA bowl of Cullen skink followed by the smoked venison with gooseberry.
TipThe upstairs Bar Gandolfi is a quieter spot for a cocktail before or after your table downstairs.
Ka Pao serves Southeast Asian sharing plates in a buzzy former garage off Byres Road in Glasgow's West End, all fish-sauce heat and charcoal smoke.
OrderThe fried chicken with green nam jim and a coconut-heavy curry to share.
