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.
1. The Dhabba
The Merchant City favourite is one of the best Indian restaurants in the city and a great venue for a weekend curry. Order tandoori dishes like Malai Murg chicken with cardamon and cream.
2. 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
3. Gaga Bar + Kitchen
Glasgow chef Julie Lin brings Malaysian influenced Southeast Asian dishes to Gaga Bar + Kitchen, to be accompanied by colourful, quirky cocktails. 566 Dumbarton Rd, Partick G11 6RH
4. Shawarma King
After a few happy pints in the Merchant City, toddle down the road to Shawarma King where they will introduce you to the Levantine delights of their takeaway menu. Someone will shave meat into a freshly baked naan bread, then add pickles, salad and homemade garlic and chilli sauce. You will leave very happy.
