THE STEAK DIARIES: Côte De Boeuf – The Butchershop Bar & Grill, Glasgow

The first time I ever tasted côte de boeuf was in the Butchershop Bar and Grill in Glasgow many years ago. It was quite unlike anything I’d tasted before. It was near-perfect in appearance with beautiful charred grill lines and buttery-crisp edges. It was soft too, despite being as thick as a hardback novel. I […]

Deep Fried Tofu Burger – El Perro Negro Pop-Up – The Hippo Taproom, Glasgow

Nick Watkins, aka El Perro Negro is known for his burgers. In fact, he’s regarded by many as the guy who makes the best in Glasgow. His burgers only currently appear at pop up events which sell out almost instantly and he’s currently working on securing a permanent home of his own. His previous burgers […]

Rib-Eye Burger – Porter & Rye, Glasgow

It can be hard finding a last minute table in Finnieston on a Saturday night; however, with burger cravings setting in, we decided to head there in a taxi and do the impossible. Walking through the door at Porter & Rye, my hopes appeared to be dashed as the restaurant was, understandably, completely packed. I […]

Burger – Tabac, Glasgow

The last time I ate food in Mitchell Lane was back when Tabac was formerly Bar 10. I remember thinking that it was auld man’s pub back then, but what did I know? This was back in my early days of venturing out into Glasgow’s city nightlife where I’d just happy not to get asked […]

The Hutchesons Burger – Hutchesons Bar & Brasserie, Glasgow

Hutchesons is, without a doubt, one of the most stunning locations in Glasgow. As you first walk into and experience the grandeur of the upstairs brasserie, it feels like a world apart from the warm, cozy, jazz bar vibe of the cafe downstairs. But that’s exactly why I love Hutchesons – you can pop by for […]

The Firedog Burger / Chompsky Bao – StrEAT Glasgow at the Broomielaw

Glasgow is the best city in the world. The people, the architecture, the history, our sense of humour, the food, bars, restaurants, burgers…you name it, Glasgow’s got it. But we’ve definitely arrived late to the party when it comes to proper street food. I’m not talking about the dodgy burger vans outside the SECC or […]

The Cult Burger / NYC Burger – El Perro Negro Kitchen Takeover at Brewdog, Glasgow

Back in 2014, we picked El Perro Negro’s ‘Top Dog’ burger as the best in Glasgow. It had everything that I look for in a burger. Quality ingredients, robust flavour not too complicated. I could pick it up and eat it without making a mess. It was all about quality over quantity. Given that I […]

Bacon Cheeseburger – Five Guys, Glasgow

Glasgow’s meat district, formerly known as St. Vincent Street is attracting all of the big burger/dirty american food chains these days – and there’s even more set to move in next year, if you didn’t already know. I have to agree with Chris there. Usually, I’d be all about voting yes but I’m pinning on […]

Brel Burger – Brel, Glasgow

Whenever there’s a heatwave in Glasgow, you can be certain that pretty much every bar with an outdoor seating area is going to be absolutely jam-packed with people. During our recent visit to Ashton Lane, Brel was no different. We had reserved a table a couple of days prior to our visit and luckily for […]

NYC Black Label Burger – Bread Meats Bread, Glasgow

Recently, as part of American National Burger month, Bread Meats Bread decided to create three special menu items over three weeks, each one being their own tribute to an iconic American burger. The first was their own take on In-N-Out Burger’s secret menu ‘Animal Style’ classic and you can read our recent review of that […]
