Glasgow's commitment to carnivorous dining shows no sign of abating. On the informal side, the city is awash with gourmet burger joints that offer towering stacks of juicy, funked-up patties, while proponents of smoke-house barbecue pit-style food focus on fabulous, filthy plates that mean finger-licking, messy eating is unavoidable. It's not all burgers and barbecue – Glasgow remains one of the centres of excellence for locally sourced steaks thanks to the specialists that take sourcing and beef ageing very seriously. Clearly, Glasgow loves good-quality Scottish beef and no amount of clean-eating propaganda will change that. Here's our favourites:

Bread Meats Bread
The original, which helped to kick-off Glasgow's love of gourmet burgers, does enormous portions of inventive, indulgent food.

The Butchershop Bar & Grill
Glasgow steakhouse specialising in dry-aged Scotch beef steaks, fresh seafood and signature cocktails.

El Perro Negro
First permanent home for the pop-up specialists, with wings and things alongside the famous burgers, with a larger spot due to open soon.

Finsbay Flatiron
Bar and kitchen with one main course option: an inexpensive, juicy flat iron steak, served up in funky 1970s, retro surroundings.
