One of the best Indian Restaurants in Glasgow. Classic, though there are now more modern ones and the food has gone a bit downhill since they first opened years ago. Remains a Glasgow institution for a curry though.

The Butchershop Bar & Grill
1055 Sauchiehall StreetGood for steaks and meat lovers
The food is among the best in Glasgow, very imaginative and great quality. The place is expensive (can get to about £50 per person for dinner with wine) but worth going for a treat, even if place a bit dark. Definitely try their famous black pudding eggs. Staff is friendly

One of the best Chinese in town, 10 mins walk from flat. Amazing sea food. Famous for its soft-shell crab but we also loved their mussels. Lots of Asian customers and waiters not the stereotypical rude ones. Decor a bit basic.

Another one among the best Chinese restaurants in town. Surroundings simpler and very basic, compared to nearby Ka Ka Lok, also in a basement, but the food superb, authentic and good value

Great coffee, great sandwiches, amazing eggs, organic and very fresh ingredients. Great if you want tasty, wholesome (and healthy) food (e.g. they do yoghurt with chia seeds and fresh fruits and honey). Often very busy and crammed. A bit of a hippy, relaxed feel.

It's next door and a shame to miss. One of the nicest parks in Glasgow and with a long history. Check out the walk by the river Kelvin all the way by the Gibson street entrance under all major road, to the Botanic.
