Boisdale      A buzzy place with bar and restaurants specialising in  Scottish cooking with live music (jazz, blues and soul), a whisky bar and a cigar terrace. Go there for the atmosphere and for the steaks from the grill – all meat is dry aged on the bone.

Iberica    We can’t wait for this new branch to open within a few minutes of the barge. It will showcase the best Spain has to offer with its authentic gastronomic tapas menu.

Plateau     A beautiful glam and grown-up restaurant furnished with design classics serving a French menu and a bar/grill with more relaxed modern British food. Flooded with wonderful light from the huge windows on the 4^th floor of Canada Place overlooking the gardens.

Jamie's    Rustic and simple Italian food in an informal space – stays open till 11 so great for a late dinner.

Gaucho    Right on the water and famous for its Argentinean menu especially the extraordinary selection of steaks

Royal China     We go here regularly for the excellent dim-sum menu. If you get there by 11.30 / 12.00 you can beat the queues of large Chinese families. In the summer it’s lovely to sit at a table outside right by the river and watch the ferries come and go.

Roka     Specialises in contemporary Japanese robatayaki cooking with an open kitchen in a luxurious contemporary space. We come here for a treat and eat the tasting menu.

The Gun     Our local gastropub serving excellent modern British food. Apart from this its other claim to fame is that allegedly Admiral Nelson used to meet his mistress Emma Hamilton there. Wonderful terrace for outdoor eating and drinking in the summer.
