Glasgow named one of the top five foodie cities for a staycation in the UK

If you're looking to plan a 'staycation' in Scotland this year, then you've chosen the right place.

Glasgow has been named one of the top five places for food and drink by 'Which?' placing our city third whilst our neighbour, Edinburgh taking first place.

The consumer website said there was an "old rivalry" between the two cities, both "jockeying" to be Scotland’s fine-dining capital.

"Head to Scotland’s capital and you’ll be able to savour a lot more than the traditional haggis, neeps and tatties – although that’s an option too, if you fancy it."

Describing Glasgow, they said the city was "cool and unpretentious" with a vibrant but inexpensive food and drink scene.

"Cobbled backstreet Ashton Lane is full of charming restaurants, such as the Ubiquitous Chip serving fine Scottish fare, or head to Finnieston’s Argyle Street for an inventive yet remarkably good-value tasting menu at Six by Nico, followed by a creative cocktail at the Kelvingrove Café."

A great shout - and who can blame them? After all our city was also voted one of the top five most-searched places to live in the UK for the second year in a row.

Are we bias if we say we're the best city in the UK?

The list of top five cities are as follows:

  1. Edinburgh
  2. York
  3. Glasgow
  4. Brighton
  5. Leeds
