The UK's 100 Best Local Restaurants have been named by an influential food guide and some of Glasgow's best have made the list.
The exciting list announced by the Good Food Guide saw the best spots from across the UK named, with no less than seven restaurants in Glasgow selected.
The list was nominated by the public (with over 37,000 nominations) and was confirmed by the Guide's inspectors, who visited each of those picked out to see which were deserving of being added to the final shortlist.
The city had a very strong showing, with The Loveable Rogue, Celentano's, and Eighty Eight all being picked out alongside Bar Brett, Ga Ga, Gloriosa and Eusebi's Deli.
Tallow, a neighbourhood restaurant in Southborough, Royal Tunbridge Wells has been named the overall Best Local Restaurant topping the list of 100 local favourites across the country.

Organisers say Britain’s 100 Best Local Restaurants will provide a huge boost to the hospitality industry across the country, highlighting those who often miss the spotlight whilst providing an excellent and vital service to their community.
Speaking about the awards, CEO of UK Hospitality, Kate Nicholls, said: “Local restaurants are so often the heartbeat of communities; providing jobs, generating economic growth and, most importantly, providing fantastic food.
"It’s brilliant to see such huge support from the public for their local restaurants and is deserved recognition of their hard work. This sort of support is invaluable as venues face ever-rising costs and is essential in keeping valued businesses viable.”
Co-founder of the Northern Bar and Restaurant Show, Thom Hetherington, added: “The Good Food Guide was a revelation to me as a fledgling foodie 25 years ago, and its authority and independence is as crucial to today’s diners as ever - not just highlighting big names, but shining a light on the sometimes hidden restaurant gems that locals love and others need to know about.”
