Stravaigin

Chef proprietor of Stravaigin, Colin Clydesdale, is the son of Ubiquitous Chip owner Ronnie Clydesdale but where Clydesdale senior’s restaurant makes a virtue of being Scottish, his son’s establishment prides itself on the number of stamps in its passport. In amongst the haggis, mashed neeps & champit tatties & famous beef burger, there’s grilled vegetables & chickpea fritters, tahini & yoghurt dressing, while chargrilled 8oz Aberdeen Angus sirloin comes with chunky chips & tomato, red onion, basil & chilli salad. Belgian chocolate & walnut brownie with rich butterscotch sauce & vanilla cream is a splendid way to finish. One of Glasgow’s most inventive restaurants without trying too hard, it is often fully booked. Stravaigin 2 (0141 334 7165) is an alternative.
