20 Recommended places to dine in Glasgow

We visited Glasgow in February for the annual Celtic Connections Festival and couldn’t decide where to dine.   It’s no wonder, as there’s such a choice of restaurants in the city.  According to Trip Adviser, there are over 1950 listed restaurants to choose from.
