Food Scene

Delicious food, arguably some of the best in Glasgow. Cafe Gandolfi has been around for over 30 years and maintains its excellent reputation. A more expensive option compared to others nearby but the price is certainly reflected in the quality. If you are in more of a frame of mind for fish then why not try the Gandolfi fish bar next door?! http://www.cafegandolfi.com

A bit of a walk from the apartment - best to get a taxi there which will cost around £5. But it is well worth it. Akbar's is THE best curry house I have ever been to and I cannot recommend it enough. For those of you that love Indian food, Akbars is a must. I particularly recommend the Chicken tikka makhani, and a plain/garlic/peshwari naan! http://www.akbars.co.uk/glasgow
