Battlefield is arguably one of Glasgow Southside’s most underrated neighbourhoods, although increasing numbers of people from across the city are choosing to make it their home.
The area takes its name from the 1568 Battle of Langside, which is commemorated by a monument unveiled in 1887 to mark the battle’s 320th anniversary.
With a thriving food and drink scene — and a couple of recent new openings — we thought it was the perfect time to shine a spotlight on Battlefield.
Here are 11 of the best food an drink places to check out in Battlefield this summer.
1. Battlefield Rest
Battlefield Rest is one of our favourite neighbourhood Italian restaurants. 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. | Battlefield Rest
