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.
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.
TipSit at the bar for walk-in space and order the shorter lunch menu if you want a lighter, cheaper visit.
Shish Mahal is the West End curry house that claims to have invented chicken tikka masala in Glasgow in the 1970s, still packed for its Punjabi cooking.
OrderThe chicken tikka masala, the dish this kitchen is said to have created.
TipThe claim is contested but the cooking is genuinely good; book ahead at weekends when it fills with regulars.

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.
