One of the luxuries of living in a city as large as Glasgow is that there is a near-limitless selection of restaurants to choose from.
Whether it's a quick and no-fuss bite to eat you're after or a fancy five-course meal, there is something for everyone. However, all of that variety can make it difficult to know where to head.
To help you find a restaurant worthy of your money, Glasgow Live took to TripAdvisor to see what the 10 best reviewed restaurants in the city were.
