Every Glaswegian has one. A restaurant that when you think about, it instantly throws you back to a time and place in your life. Birthdays, anniversaries, first meetings, or those restaurants your parents took you too for that special meal.
We asked you for the restaurants and meals you’ll never forget, even if they have long since shut up shop. You gave us literally hundreds, but we picked 16 that shows the entire spectrum of Glasgow.
Some are long gone, some more recently but here are 16 of the Glasgow restaurants you miss the most.
5. Spaghetti Factory
Legendary restaurant and music venue. Louise Taylor said: "Spaghetti factory loved it." Now the much revered Stravaigin. | Supplied
6. Canton Express
Mentioned multiple times, but we liked Douglas Laidlaw's order: "Canton express in sauchiehall st, best sweet and sour and chicken curry , plastic fork and can of coke, no chips". Sadly closed down in the early-2000s. Since then, it's been a bookies and is now unoccupied. | Google Maps
7. Chicago Meatpackers
There were memories of the mini-train, and this from Susan Park: "Really miss Chicago meatpackers. We used to go there loads in the 90’s, food was always good and the bar used to do great happy hour offers and keep a little shot glass on a shelf with your name on it for the next visit. Loved that place!" The entrance has since been boarded up and is now part of Deli Central. | Google Maps
8. Dino Ferrari
Inside the restaurant area of Dino Ferrari's which was a popular date night spot. Ann Mclaughlin said: "Dino, many a good meal there. Great memories." | Dino Ferrari
