Glasgow restaurants and bars serving up exclusive meals and drinks for new food trail

Over 60 of Glasgow's best restaurants and bars have joined forces for a new hospitality-led food and drink campaign; #MadeinGlasgow.

Inviting Glaswegians to taste 'the best of Spring superstars' on their menus this month, diners will get exclusive tasty delights on the new city food and drink trail.

Venues taking part in the initiative include newly added Crabshakk, Moskito, Julie Lin’s Gaga, Platform, Park Lane Market, Ubiquitous Chip, and modern Scottish pub, The Gate.

Glasgow's best homegrown talent and the exclusive dishes have already been celebrated and showcased on social media as part of the trail, which runs until the end of May.

Heralding Scottish ingredients, UK’s Current Best Burger winner, El Perro Negro started developing their in house buns for their award-winning burgers during lockdown after supply troubles.

El Perro Negro founder and top burger chef Nick Watkins said: “For us, the two big fundamentals in doing a great burger is to have great beef and a great bun.

“During lockdown we started developing an in house bun, after a bit of trial and error we settled on a hybrid brioche / Japanese milk bun.

“It looks great, provides just enough richness and holds up to all those meat juices and sauces no problem, and in our view, it’s the perfect bun.

"It's what sets us apart from the rest and I think it paid a big part in us winning the national burger awards for a second time (the only ones to ever do it).”

Provenance is also a key part with local dairy farms providing eggs and milk for their in house bun recipe. You can find them serving up exclusive specials as part of the Made In Glasgow trail this month.

Meanwhile over in the East End, Celentano’s has combined their passion for Italian food, Asian seasoning and Scottish sustainable produce to create a Scottish linguine dish exclusively for the trail.

Featuring surf clams and cod cheeks sourced from small Scottish fish supplier David Lowrie based in Fife, along with wild garlic foraged by their chefs around different areas of Glasgow.

Furthermore, if you're looking for Spring drinks then you can head on over to Moskito for a rhubarb and citrus-infused margarita with Scottish rhubarb, Patron Silver and Martini Fiero. Or you can join Fore Play Crazy Golf who take their garnish game almost as serious as their golf, where you can enjoy their Hole in Wham! sour topped with a Scottish Wham Bar for a nostalgic treat.

In the west end, The Gannet is celebrating their incredible supplier Pellham Farm with an organic mutton tea and toast dish this Spring. Mutton shoulder is slowly cooked and rolled, with lamb sweetbreads in foaming butter before being glazed. It’s served with a mustard and onion seed lamb fat focaccia with air-dried mutton.
