My Top Five Places To Eat In Glasgow


Hello! 

Welcome to my blog where every Friday for the next five weeks I’ll be posting about some of the amazing places I’ve eaten at around the world. My first post will centre around my favourite restaurants in the city I was born and raised in- Glasgow. I am in no way a food connoisseur but I am addicted to eating out meaning that my list of favourites is infinite but I’ve managed to narrow it down and select my top five and here it is…

 5. Paesano Pizza, Miller Street

I have never been to Italy and therefore have never had ‘authentic’ Italian Pizza but my guess is Paesano’s pizza comes very close and is without a doubt the BEST pizza I have ever had! The restaurant offers nine different pizzas with my personal favourites being numbers four (mozzarella and basil) and six (spicy salami and mozzarella).









4. The Wilson Street Pantry, Merchant City

 I have never really been one for going out for breakfast/brunch until I ate at The Wilson Street Pantry last year and now I’m obsessed. At the Pantry, they serve a variety of brunch meals with my favourite being their Eggs Benedict accompanied by freshly squeezed orange juice and a cappuccino.



3. ‘BABS, West Nile Street


‘BABS is a Mediterranean restaurant that offers a variety of street food dishes including variations of the beloved kebab. It is the perfect place to go if your looking for something a bit different from the standard burger and chips (which is also a good option). My go-to dishes are the Sirloin Steak Iskender and the best Halloumi Fries I've ever had (a very big statement from a halloumi addict). 











2. Tinto Tapas, Uddingston

Tinto provides an authentic Spanish experience with its variety of tapas dishes and Paella. My favourite dishes are the Langostinos (deep fried prawns), Patata y Queso (sliced potatoes with cream, garlic and cheese) and Chicken and Chorizo Paella which I follow up with Churros with chocolate sauce for dessert. 



 








1. Riva, Bothwell



Riva has been my favourite place to eat for many years now. It serves a variety of Italian dishes including my favourite, Tagliatelle salmone e pesto. Not only does it serve the Italian food I’ve ever eaten, but it also introduced to me to one of my favourite Italian desserts 'Affogato' (vanilla ice cream served with a shot of hot espresso).

 

















And there we have it, my top five favourite places to eat in Glasgow! If you haven’t been to any of these places I strongly recommend you give them a try.

Until Friday,

6 Best Places To Eat in Bratislava, Slovakia

Last month I visited Slovakia's capital city, Bratislava! To be perfectly honest I went with low expectations as in my opinion, it is not a very popular tourist destination that I hear of many people visiting, however, my expectations were greatly exceeded. With its attractive sights, quirky vintage shops and its stunning cathedral, Bratislava has a lot to offer but the best part of my trip was of course the food. I can honestly say there was not a single meal that I had in the five days I was there that wasn't exceptional and well above average, but if I told you about every single place I ate at this short post would turn into a novel, so instead I've selected the most memorable six... 6. Pollito Cheesecake I am a lover of all things sweet (especially chocolate) meaning that I always have room for dessert and one of my favourite desserts of all time is cheesecake which is why it was imperative for me to visit Pollito. The cafe offered a small but an ama...

Big Feed, Glasgow

For my final blog post I’ve come full circle and back to the place where my blog began – Glasgow. I had originally planned to post about a different city in every post but this was too good not to share with you all and so this week’s post is about Scotland’s biggest indoor street food market- Big Feed. Big Feed (like I said) is a street food market located in Govan and takes place every couple of weeks. It offers a wide selection of street food varying from Greek kebabs to loaded hot dogs and even churros, with the stalls varying each time the event is held.  In addition to the assortment of delicious food stalls and bar service, Big Feed also provides entertainment with live music and DJs and also retro video games, meaning there is truly something for everyone (they even have dog treats for your pets). There is a small fee of £2 to gain entry into the market however, free parking is available onsite and the food is also reasonably priced for what you...

Berlin's Best Currywurst

Back in 2016 I visited my now favourite place in the world - Berlin. There are many things I admire about this city including, its tragic history surrounding the aftermath of the second World War, its modern architecture and the wide variety of German beer on offer. However, my favourite thing about Berlin is its popular street food scene which offers a variety of German delicacies including the iconic 'Currywurst'. For those of you who don't know, a Currywurst is a sliced German sausage (which I believe is a Bratwurst but I may be wrong) topped with a curry ketchup and curry powder.  The dish originated in 1949 Berlin when a woman named Herta Heuwer obtained ketchup and curry powder from British Soldiers in West Berlin which she then combined with a german sausage and the Currywurst was born. Today there are many variations of the classic dish and a wide variety of street vendors dedicated to serving the best Currywurst, many of which I got to visit on my trip to Ber...
