My Guide to Glasgow
Coffee Shops
Im a bit of a coffee snob, so these are what i think are the best coffee places in the city, this list is not exhaustive, its just the best places i have been.
For me the Number 1 coffee shop in Glasgow, the owners are dedicated to producing the very best coffee every single time. Its the go-to place for me every day. Also do very good sandwiches and i also recommend the Pecan Brownie. If you go here tell the staff i sent you.

I absolutely love this place, all of the doughnuts are excellent and baked instore fresh every day. The choices change through the year, but one of the standards is Chocolate Millionaire, its actually just too good.

Finnieston Restaurants
The area the flat is located in is called Finnieston, which probably has the highest concentration of very high quality restaurants in the city. All of the these places are a 5 minute walk from the flat, i highly recommend you try at least one and also that you book in advance as they are very popular. Enjoy!
The food here is more a modern take on a Scottish menu. A few of my friends rate this as their absolute favourite.

Potentially the most unique restaurant in the city. The menu here is themed and the theme changes every 6 weeks. Its a taster menu, usually 5 courses, i would recommend getting the pairing drinks with each course, really enhances the experience. Tables are hard to come by, so book ahead ASAP!
