Bread, meat, maybe a bit of veg, more bread. A sandwich. You’d think it’d be simple, it’s not hard to get wrong; but by god is it hard to get right. That’s why we put together this list of the best sandwiches you can find in Glasgow.
We love a bit of carbs here in Glasgow, we’ll put just about anything in a roll and eat it - a pie, fritters, another roll even - but today we’re looking at sandwiches, the little cousin of the roll in the bread family tree.
You’re spoiled for choice when it comes to a lunch-time meal here in Glasgow - no matter where you work in the city. Nearly every other café does some kind of specialty sandwich, but we wanted to rank the very best of the best for our audience.
Take a look below as we rank the 10 best sandwiches you can eat here in Glasgow in 2025, definitively.
5. Beef Shin Toastie - Outlier (Trongate)
The Beef Shin toastie from Outlier on London Road is so decadent, its fit for a king really. One bite of this and you'll feel like you've ascended to the heavens. It's the closest thing you can find to American-style brisket in Glasgow. | Outlier
6. Anything - Banh Mi & Tea
For a Vietnamese sandwich, get yourself down to Banh Mi & Tea on Dumbarton Road. You won't be able to find anything else like it, and for just over £5 a sandwich - it's a must-visit. Again, you can't really go wrong with anything from the menu, but our favourite is the Pork Banh Mi. | Banh Mi & Tea
7. Po Boy - Haylynn Canteen (Whiteinch)
The Po Boy from Haylynn Canteen is nasty (in a good way of course). The bread is perfectly crunchy, the veg is mega fresh, and the meat is beyond deli quality. All the hallmarks of a class sandwich. | Haylynn Canteen
8. Salad Roll - Nan's Dairy (Govanhill)
Given all the posh upmarket sandwiches on this list you must be thinking; wow this guy is up himself. Well take a look at this. The Salad Roll from Nan's Dairy, beautiful in its simplicity and beloved by Glaswegians from all corners of the city. It's been a staple on their menu for the last 50 years, if you've not tried it yet, you've not lived. | Nan's Dairy
