head chef, Cail Bruich · 6 picks
Lorna McNee is head chef of Cail Bruich, which won a Michelin star in January 2021, less than six months after she took over the kitchen: Glasgow’s first star in 18 years. Before that she was sous chef at Restaurant Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles, and in 2019 she won Great British Menu. These are the places she has named as her own in two interviews, for Country & Town House and Fine Dining Lovers; Ox and Finch, Buck’s Bar and Mother India come up in both.
This place makes you feel at home immediately. Homemade pasta to die for, including ‘yesterday’s lasagna’ which we all know is better than today’s lasagna. I love this place.

Homemade Indian food with real culture. If you sit in, it's not just your usual curry you should get. Dive into the fish and the lamb chops. You should try the tapas menu and get loads of different Indian dishes; they really know how to work their spice here.

It's got great energy and atmosphere as soon as you step in the door. The food is delicious. They do a wide variety of sharing plates with lots of different flavors that interest your palate and make you excited about getting stuck in. The portions are generous and a great value point. They do great drinks and cocktails and it's always my go to for a night out with friends.

It’s really tasty food and good value. I’d have to say it’s probably my top one.

They do the most incredible burgers—I swear there is a whole chicken on there. Delicious toppings and specials on every month. They do salt and chili chips, which are the best I've had.

Buck’s Bar is definitely one of my favourites. They do great fried chicken and I love it.

They do lots of different sandwiches on homemade breads. Great pastries and cakes. They now even have a sit-in cafe which offers brunch items. The Turkish eggs are my go to every time. Generous portions with an amazing coffee.

order: Turkish eggs
They do the same style of food as Ox and Finch – lots of sharing plates, but with more of an Asian influence.
