Welcome to The Glasgow Food Blog. I love Glasgow, and I love food. It's a match made in heaven.
Their toastie selection is pretty mouthwatering: there's a haggis option, pulled pork, tuna, pastrami and halloumi.
I was thinking about travel and how amazing the experience of travelling can be, but I'm definitely "guilty" of just focussing on the positive and skimming over the negative stuff. We had a couple of hiccups in Japan and so I wanted to share them as you might find it useful. If not useful, maybe just interesting.
I love Taste Buchanan - what a great idea to make the traditionally boring shopping centre food court somewhere you'd actually want to eat!
I love Greek food but rarely eat it, so was super keen to check out the brand new Halloumi.
The menu is simple - mostly rice dishes with a couple of noodle/congee dishes.
I really like it here. A lot. It has an amazing selection, friendly staff and a super chilled out vibe.
I spotted Luckie Beans who have a coffee cart in the concourse.
We ordered a selection of the dishes from the dim sum menu and shared - Shanghai mini bun, beef cheung fung, scallop and vegetable dumplings, spring rolls, char sui buns, squid.
I am a BIG Seb & Mili fan from when they were on St Vincent Street and now they just have this location on Argyle Street in Finnieston.
I like that Shilling are brewing their own beer, right in the heart of Glasgow.
I actually don't know if you'd notice that it was vegan - I asked what was in it and it's vegan sausage and chutney which was just perfect. I actually wish I'd gotten two as I liked it that much.
Inver is really beautiful - right on Loch Fyne and looks over at the ruins of old Castle Lachlan.
Asian street food in Finnieston? I knew I had to visit ASAP when I heard about this place.
Replacing the Grumpy Goat, Elena's seemed to pop up really quickly - it's because not much has changed inside apart from some Spanish flags and a bull design on one on the walls.
When there's a new restaurant opening in Glasgow, my ears always prick up and I get very excited. What makes me even more excited is when it is a restaurant doing something different from anywhere else in Glasgow, and that's just what Horn Please is doing with its modern, Indian street food menu.
I finally tried out El Perro Negro's burger at the Brew Dog pop up recently and have to say, it was definitely in my top 5 burgers of all time.
The vibe of this place really makes it special, I think. The tiling and relaxed atmosphere really does transport you to Spain and you feel like you're on holidays.
Yassssss who doesn't love a cheese toastie? I really needed a pick-me-up this morning so headed for Brew Box after a meeting nearby.
I got a Vietnamese Chicken Twerker... If you like satay flavours, you'll love this sandwich.
Getting around Japan on trains – it seems impossible, but I've got some tips for you.
