Crabshakk

This tiny seafood restaurant has been on the radar of diners in the know for a long while. The seafood served here - from oysters to fish - is some of the freshest and of superb quality. It tends to get rather busy but there are always seats at the bar reserved for walk-ins only.

Dining

Scottish cuisine is all about simplicity and locally-sourced ingredients, reason why so many restaurants pride themselves in serving seafood fished in Scottish waters. When in Glasgow, try the iconic Scottish haggis - a meat, turnips ("neeps") and potatoes ("tatties") dish traditionally prepared in sheep's stomach (today mostly replaced by artificial sausage casing). For dessert, try the shortbread - a biscuit with rather high butter and sugar content. The choice of eateries can get overwhelming, as there is an infinite number of good restaurants in the city. Most of the trendy and stylish restaurants are located in the elegant West End or in the neo-hip Merchant City.
