Street food: Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow

Loon Fung
Since the 1970s, Loon Fung has been a focal point for Glasgow’s Chinese community. A recent makeover has the place looking resplendent in classic reds and golds. It serves a traditional Cantonese offering, including cracking dim sum and excellent seafood dishes.

Mackintosh At The Willow
Thanks to a meticulous restoration project, the Willow is much as it was when it was first opened by Miss Cranston in 1903. Much more than just a tearoom thanks to designers Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Margaret MacDonald, diners can take the classic afternoon tea over three floors, including the exquisite Salon de Luxe.

Nanakusa
A grandaddy of Glasgow’s Japanese scene and the first spot in town to capture that trendy downtown Tokyo atmosphere. The contemporary, clean décor, communal vibe and menu of Japanese favourites (sushi, gyoza, noodles, bento boxes and grills) was so spot on in 2007 that it hasn’t changed much.

Non Viet
One of the first Vietnamese diners in town, this original Charing Cross spot has spawned outlets at Hillhead and Partick, giving Glaswegians across the city the chance to enjoy their fresh, vibrant dishes, including spring rolls, pho and Hue soups, curries and noodles.

Sprigg
Sprigg’s admirable mission is to change the way Glaswegians eat on the hop, from packaging (reusable bowl scheme available) to tasty mouthfuls of goodness. Healthy doesn’t need to be boring when faced with the uber-fresh produce and flavour-packed options in their customisable bowls.
