Best Dining Bets

by Frommers Travel Guides
  • Best Seafood Restaurant: One of the consistently best restaurants in the entire city, Gamba, 225a W. George St. (tel. 0141/572-0899), specializes in superb seafood, showing off some of Scotland's best natural produce.

  • Best Indian Restaurant: The competition is stiff, but the nod goes to The Dhabba, 44 Candleriggs (tel. 0141/221-1663), in the Merchant City for its North Indian specialties and contemporary interiors.

  • Best City Centre Fine-Dining Restaurant: Newly opened in late 2005, Michael Caines @ ABode (tel. 0141/572-6011), is the one to watch in the commercial center with stylish and exceptional cooking.

  • Best Cafe: Perhaps more of a bistro than cafe, Cafe Gandolfi, 64 Albion St. (tel. 0141/552-6813), offers straightforward and delicious dishes, whether a bowl of Cullen skink (smoked haddock chowder) or a sirloin steak sandwich.

  • Best in 'Burbs: It may be the best in greater Glasgow: The Wild Bergamot, 1 Hillhead St., Milngavie (tel. 0141/956-6515), is tiny, but its reputation is increasingly large.

  • Best on a Budget: A brief stroll from the shopping precincts of Sauchiehall Street, the Wee Curry Shop, 7 Buccleuch St. off Cambridge St. (tel. 0141/353-0777), is a tiny gem of a restaurant, serving freshly prepared Indian cuisine at bargain prices.
