With its illustrious, award-winning history, Stravaigin is now recognised as an integral part of Glasgow’s bohemian West End. The name Stravaigin, meaning ‘to wander’, perfectly embodies the ‘think global, eat local’ ethos advocated here – why not meander off the beaten track into Gibson Street’s café-bar or basement restaurant, or Ruthven Lane’s cosy eatery? At both locations, you’ll find a menu showcasing excellent local produce – including Islay scallops, Inverurie lamb and Carsphairn venison – which is used to create classic Scottish dishes and internationally inspired cuisine.

Well-informed staff are on hand to recommend a wine from the diverse list, which includes unique organic and biodynamic varieties. Alternatively, sup on speciality ales or a dram of whisky. Sophisticated decor and soft lighting create a great setting in which to enjoy accomplished starters such as steamed mussels with sweet chilli and coriander, and exquisite mains like celeriac gratin with chestnut beignets. Opulent desserts like the chocolate and hazelnut parfait with arlette pastry and cherry foam will more than make the grade.

If you’ve a party to plan, look no further than the Stravaigin chefs, who will tailor a buffet or multiple-course gourmet menu to suit any private event. Whether you visit the Gibson Street branch or the site on Ruthven Lane, you’ll find the same admirable ethos, encouraging diners to keep it local whilst being inspired by the exciting cuisine on offer from around the globe.
