Glasgow gastropub named among the 50 best in the UK

Stravaigin in the city's West End was among the Scottish locations named in this year's list with it coming in at number 42.

The Michelin star pub was praised for its "global approach to the concept of a traditional British gastropub".

The review added: "Stravaigin’s menu is a jewel of different cuisines whilst relying on incredible local produce.

"As they say themselves, the food here is ‘exotically Scottish’. Examples? Duck liver parfait with blood orange jam and sunflower seed granola or their homemade haggis."

Other Scottish gastropubs named among the top 50 in the UK

The Scran & Scallie in Edinburgh featured the highest at number 16 with critics describing it as "a relaxed Scottish gastropub that has a Michelin-starred restaurant as a brother, in the form of the local Kitchin."

It was praised for its comfort food and a large selection of great drinks with the critics saying: "They focus on super comforting food here, pairing it up with craft beer and a large selection of other great drinks. The sort of place where you could get seriously comfortable and not want to move for a couple of hours."

The Doric in Edinburgh was the second highest-rated Scottish pub at number 35 with the reviewer saying: "A gastropub that dates back to the 17th-Century? We’re intrigued, and you should be too.

"Doric holds claim to being the oldest gastropub in the UK, with homemade and locally sourced dishes on the menu for hundreds of years.

"Now, it’s a popular spot for local brews and delicious food. Expect local dishes such as haggis with a silky Glenkinchie Whisky jus."
