Bothy
A bothy is not normally the most comfortable of abodes, but this West End player pays little heed to this tradition, boasting a combo of modern design and comfy retro furnishings. It also blows apart the myth that Scottish food is stodgy and uninteresting. The Bothy dishes out traditional, uniquely Scottish, home-style fare with a modern twist. It's filling, but leave room for dessert. An £11 lunch will get you away cheaper.

Stravaigin
Stravaigin is a serious foodie's delight, with a menu constantly pushing the boundaries of originality and offering creative culinary excellence. The cool contemporary dining space in the basement has booth seating, and helpful, laid-back waiting-staff to assist in deciphering the audacious menu. Entry-level has a buzzing two-level bar that's open 11am to midnight daily; you can also eat here. There are always plenty of menu deals and special culinary nights.

Oran Mor Brasserie & Conservatory
This temple to Scottish dining and drinking is a superb venue in an old church. Giving new meaning to the word 'conversion', the brasserie pumps out high-quality meals in a dark, Mackintosh-inspired space. There are also cheaper bistro-style meals, such as Cullen skink (soup made with smoked haddock, potato, onion and milk) or vegetarian haggis served with Arran mustard sauce, and more relaxed dining in the conservatory, adjoining the main bar.

Stravaigin II
Top service makes all feel welcome at this relaxed eatery just off Byres Rd. The menu changes regularly but always features a few surprises from around the globe. Slow cooking features prominently in preparation of both meat and vegetables, so expect those flavours to burst out at you. But it's also got a legendary reputation for its burgers, fish 'n' chips, and haggis, so there's something here for any appetite.

Buttery
This well-respected, elegant restaurant is just west of the M8. Although it’s surrounded by grim, grey, tower-block flats (get a taxi here or drive), it’s a top, Victorian-era restaurant offering fine dining among crisp tablecloths and oak panelling, with a classy clientele to match. The menu is a combination of seasonal Scottish and British organic produce.

Ubiquitous Chip
The original champion of Scottish produce, The Ubiquitous Chip has won lots of awards for its unparalleled Scottish cuisine, and for its lengthy wine list. Named to poke fun at Scotland's perceived lack of finer cuisine, it offers a French touch but resolutely Scottish ingredients, carefully selected and following sustainable principles. Above, Upstairs at the Chip provides cheaper, bistro-style food with a similarly advanced set of principles. There are also bar meals at the atmospheric upstairs pub, while the cute 'Wee Pub' down the side alley offers plenty of drinking pleasure.

Arisaig
Relocated into the Merchant Sq building, a historical location converted into an echoing food court, Arisaig offers a good chance to try well-prepared Scottish cuisine at a fair price, with friendly service to boot. Candlelight and crisp linen makes for atmosphere, with both terrace and indoor seating.

Café Lava
Everyone wants to live next door to a café like this. The understated menu here delivers delicious home cooking. Try the Stornaway black pudding and eggs Benedict. The coffee is some of the best around town, and the carrot cake the best in Scotland: we know, we tried it from Dumfries to Shetland.
