OUR resident foodie rates Glasgow's best bars and restaurants in his weekly Power Rankings.
1. Ramen Ramen (N/E)
A relatively new arrival on Bath Street with a cult following. Ramen Ramen stepped up during lockdown, providing nourishing, hearty spicy, flavourful deliveries of authentic Japanese dishes. You can now visit them in real-life. Big bowls of noodles to put a smile on your face.
2. Bread Meats Bread (N/E)
The end of an era as Bread Meats Bread closed on St Vincent Street last week. Still available in the West End and at The Fort, with a new, bigger city centre venue opening in September. In the meantime, all this change has folk craving their classic burger-based menu.
3. Epicures by Cail Bruich (Down Two)
What Cail Bruich did next. Brunch is back in Hyndland. Go for smoked salmon, on rye and ale bread, cream cheese and a sprinkling of caviar. Freshly baked breads, cakes and pastries to takeaway. Don’t leave without a cronut.
4. Errol’s Hot Pizza (Down One)
Very small pizza shop on Victoria Road. Their description. Get in early for pre-order and collection. Thick crust, crispy base, wide slices for folding, memorable toppings. Errol’s Hot Pizza is in demand.
5. Elena’s (Down Three)
A friendly neighbourhood place with an impressive tapas menu and convenient outside seating area that’s become increasingly popular in recent weeks. Chorizo in cider or Iberian cured ham and manchego cheese.
