When looking for the perfect place for a food feast, don’t hesitate to venture further afield. There are several restaurants on the outskirts of the city that are worth the extra mileage. Glasgow has an easily accessible public transport system that will take you out of the city into suburbia for an alternative dining experience.

The Grape Vine in Bothwell is a popular choice for modern Scottish cuisine. The “home from home” atmosphere is evidently successful, with a bustling dining room hosting a steady stream of local clientele.  Various menu options are available including a remarkably priced lunch menu packed full of tasty sweet and savoury options.

Another noteworthy spot is Pietruccio's in Hamilton where a taste of Italy is sure to delight the most selective palate. From a small and cosy dining room in South Lanarkshire visitors are spoiled for choice with a diverse, overflowing menu and friendly and efficient table service. This quaint, family-run restaurant offers value for money in a classic Mediterranean setting. The food is always fresh and prepared lovingly by chef Pino who obviously has a passion for cooking. A real hidden gem.
