Launching in April, Taste the Place offers a series of free self-guided experiences, designed to celebrate (and show off) a key ingredient in Glasgow’s vibrant culture – its food scene. Each experience has been created to offer inspiration for discovering new foods and culinary offerings, all served from independent businesses who call Glasgow home. The destination, however, is up to you!
Partnering with more than 40 eateries, Taste the Place offers delicious dishes created by those who’ve been in the city for generations, and others who’ve only recently made Glasgow their home. You can expect to find everything from a 100-year old ice-cream parlour and Glasgow’s oldest sweetie shop to new and emerging international cuisines, including an Eastern European bakery, and south-east Asian street food served through a hole in the wall.
Download the digital map from April 2025 to explore and savour the inspiring stories behind each bite.
