Guys in Candleriggs, Merchant City. Only place where you’ll find sushi, fish & chips, steaks and pasta on the same menu; their Glasgow Tapas is a hoot.

try the Cafe Hula opposite the Theatre Royal. Leave hotel, turn right towards theatre, cross road. Relaxed place, nice food and atmosphere.
-
Cafe Rouge is a nice wee French place in Royal Exchange Square (down Buchanan Street and turn left at the All Saints shop). Kama Sutra for good Indian, particularly recommend the lunch buffet, about ten minutes walk along Sauchiehall Street going west.

Agree with Pam that Cafe Hula is a good and also endearingly quirky.

Thanks Kelvin and to all who posted suggestions. I am really looking forward to the PCN conference and a chance to explore Glasgow – the next thing i’m after is a good book shop!

Waterstones on Sauchihall Street is the best you are going to find close to where you are staying.
Catholics books from St Paul’s bookshop in Royal Exchange Square.
Second-hand from the Oxfam bookshop in Byers Road, if you venture to the West End.

Hard to beat the Cornerstone Bookshop below St. John’s in Edinburgh! The last time I was there Margaret made me tea and gave my children Ribena – an act of great faith in a bookshop believe you me…

Second hand bookshops Voltaire & Rousseau in Otago Lane and Caledonia Books on Great Western Rd

Just a quick thanks for all suggestions.
Really loving Glasgow – might even topple Edinburgh as my favourite city break. Real buzz. Wonderful burger in hula – Dali at museum – quirky hotel – books galore – wonderful conference – and now a mojito and off to bed!

The Pottery at Drymen is great if you want to go that far – good conventional food, excellent service, reasonable prices and no muzak!

Last week I had some inspirational conversations on Sunday with David Kenvyn, who is the verger at St Mary’s and one of the servers. David was talking about his involvement in the anti-apartheid movement. Now, lots of people in the UK can rightly think of themselves as part of that struggle, but David has been…

See here for details: https://freeprideglasgow.wordpress.com/2015/07/22/free-pride-to-welcome-drag-performers/ I’m leaving the post below up here as the discussions it has started seem to me to have value in themselves. “Can I walk with you a bit? I’ve got some questions.” “Hi there, of course you…
