West End Eating
Paesano is a 10 min walk from the apartment, the Neopolitan-styled pizzas are great and pretty cheap! It's very popular and therefore you may have to wait a little while for a table as they don't take reservations (it's worth it though!)

Now called 'The Botany', this restaurant/bar is probably the easiest walk from the apartment as you can take a shortcut out to Maryhill road. It has a lovely conservatory out the back and they serve great Sunday lunches!

Brel is the place to be in the West End when the sun is shining. It has a beer garden out the back where they serve food and drinks late into the evening. If the weather's not so nice then the cosy interior or conservatory are perfect!

You'll need to book in advance (normally easier to get lunch reservations) but this place is great. Every 6 weeks they change their menu to a new theme. You can get a full tasting menu with wine and it's delicious! There are also 2 sister restaurants in Glasgow: Public House by Nico and 111 by Nico

If it's a clear day then you MUST go here! It's a gorgeous restaurant, bar and hotel on the banks of Lake of Menteith (the only Lake in Scotland). It is also right next door to the little port where boats will take you out to one of the islands on the Lake to view a historic Abbey.

If you have time for a day trip from Glasgow then I would recommend Stirling, it is home to Stirling Castle and the Wallace Monument and it's historic streets are great for a nosy around the quaint shops and cafes.

The staff in here are always very friendly. It's a massive restaurant but has 2 different entrances. I would recommend sitting on the Wellington Street side entrance, here feels quite classic Italian and the food doesn't disappoint!
