Romantic Date Ideas

La Lanterna  Location: 35 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 6AE Located right behind Glasgow Central, La Lanterna is an Italian restaurant that is perfect a romantic dinner with your other half. The restaurant itself is quite small inside but this adds to the romantic feel. The pasta here is fantastic! I would recommend ordering a pasta dish, but the menu has lots of other great dishes, such as risotto and pizza. Make sure to book your dinner here as the place is always busy or fully booked – especially around Christmas time! La Vita Spuntini Location: 40 Gordon Street, Glasgow, G1 3PU Spuntini is an Italian take on tapas with a large selection of dishes to choose from. To order the equivalent of one course, you should order 3-4 small dishes. If you cannot decide from the many options, I recommend that you order 7-8 dishes you both love and this way you can get a taste of everything! If tapas is not for you and/or your partner, Spuntini also offers classic mains. Near the bar is...

Cheap Date Ideas

Bread + Butter Location: 74 Buchanan Street, McCormick Lane, Glasgow, G1 3AJ Next up on cheap eats is Bread + Butter. Although this place doesn’t have the biggest menu, it’s quick and to the point – you’ll take less time choosing what to order and more time chatting to your date. At weekends, you’ll usually find Bread + Butter to have a buzzing atmosphere. Food is served until 9pm and drinks until late so you don’t need to worry about having to find somewhere for drinks after your meal. I would recommend going on a Wednesday night with your date for the half price cocktails but only if you have the Thursday off of work… Amore Ristorante e Pizzeria Location: 30 Ingram Street, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 1EZ You cannot beat a date night with good food and low prices. Amore is an Italian restaurant in the Merchant City of Glasgow that serves very tasty food with generous portions and has a menu with lots of options to suit everyone. I recommend taking a look at t...

Let's Go For Drinks

This blog post features some of the best places to go in Glasgow for drinks. Let me know in the comments section at the bottom what place you and your date will be trying next! Red Sky Bar L ocation: Radisson Red Glasgow, 25 Tunnel Street, Finnieston Quay, Glasgow, G3 8HL You will not find a better view at a bar in Glasgow than the one at the Red Sky Bar in the Radisson Red hotel. The interior is admirable with its very modern marble and copper theme. Although the drinks in here can be expensive, this bar is definitely worth a visit and is a perfect way to make your date feel spoiled. I suggest that prior to your date, you search up what time sunsets at that time of year and then plan to arrive for just before that time. This way, you will get a view of the sunsetting on the Scottish Event Campus, followed by a view of the night sky being lit up by The SSE Hydro. Bar Soba Location: 11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU The great thing about this bar is that it’s smal...
