As food and drink writers here in Glasgow we're always out looking for the next big thing, and call us hipsters if you must, but there is no better feeling for us than discovering a new food spot that no one else is talking about.
We're always out and about looking for the next big thing, and all through 2024 we've traipsed around Glasgow looking for the very best restaurants that no one else is talking about.
