Battlefield Rest is one of our favourite Italian restaurants in Glasgow. The building which the restaurant is based at has been a local landmark in Battlefield since 1915. The B-listed building was sold to Marco Giannasi in early 1993 who transformed the building into a restaurant a year later. We also recommend trying out Skip's Seafood Bar & Grill and Frank's Pizza. placeholder image

These are the reasons why Battlefield in Glasgow’s Southside has become one of the city’s most popular areas.

Battlefield is arguably one of Glasgow Southside’s most underrated neighbourhoods, even though plenty of folk from across the city are now deciding to live there.

The area takes its name from the 1568 Battle of Langside with there being a monument revealed in 1887 to commemorate the 320th anniversary of the battle.

I took a wander about the area at the weekend to see what all the fuss was about and to understand why this is becoming one of the most sought after neighbourhoods to stay in the city.

If you live in Battlefield, you have one of Glasgow's best parks right on your doorstep. Queen's Park is a great place to have a wander around on a sunny day with the flagpole having stunning views over the city.
