The Hanoi Bike Shop

The first of Glasgow's Vietnamese eateries, the Hanoi Bike Shop is a no-fuss eatery with a casual yet quirky vibe. Pho soup comes in many delicious varieties, with chicken, beef, pork, seafood and tofu. Try the authentic Vietnamese beer and/or the sweet, strong coffee.

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.
