The List Eat & Drink 365 guide to launch in Glasgow

A new print publication covering the eating and drinking scene in Glasgow follows the successful launch of Eat & Drink 365 Edinburgh earlier this year.

As The List hits its 40th birthday, our commitment to wide-ranging coverage of the food and drink scene in Scotland continues with the launch of Eat & Drink 365 Glasgow, which will be available for free with The Scotsman on Saturday 18 October and from all good List stockists from Monday 20 October.

As with Eat & Drink 365 Edinburgh, published in May, the new guide consists of some 50 ‘TipLists’ containing suggestions and recommendations across different topics, styles of cuisine and areas of the city. These have been compiled by our in-house team of experienced researchers and reviewers, drawing not just from the month-by-month coverage of the city’s restaurants, cafés, bars and food spots that have appeared in our magazine since its relaunch in 2022, but also the background of the long-standing Eating & Drinking Guide, which launched in 1994 and remained an annual favourite with the general public, visitors and the local hospitality trade for 25 years.

Continuing that tradition with an emphasis on well-informed, independent selections based on insights from a team well-versed in what’s happening in different parts of the city, the new guide aims to offer handy recommendations, tips and pointers to eating out across the city, its cuisines and the full price range from street food to fine dining. Providing objective and broad-ranging coverage, Eat & Drink 365 will stand apart from the current trend of influencer culture and inconsistent TripAdvisor reviews to point readers towards what’s worth knowing about around Glasgow.

Eat & Drink 365's project editor Donald Reid said: ‘We know locals and visitors really value honest, practical and knowledgeable suggestions for places to eat out. Putting our TipLists in print is central to the way The List wants to make this information and advice available and accessible. The Eat & Drink 365 guides are the type of publication you’ll want to keep hold of all year round, replace if you ever mislay your copy, and consult whenever that familiar question pops up from your partner, friends or family when working out where to head to for food or drink: where shall we go that’s good?’

Introducing the guide, city editor Jay Thundercliffe said: ‘The hundreds of bars, cafés and restaurants covered in the pages of the guide showcase the breadth and depth of eating and drinking in Glasgow. The city’s hospitality scene is fiercely independent, characterised not by national chains but by people who know the city, creating operations that are better attuned to inhabitants’ tastes. From neighbourhood bistros and Michelin-starred restaurants to pubs brewing craft beers, whisky bars and independent coffee roasteries, Glaswegians and visitors to the city have a wealth of choices for going out, eating great food and having a good time.’

Eat & Drink 365 Glasgow contains over 365 individual recommendations and tips across 50 TipLists spanning different areas of the city as well as styles of cuisine and useful topics, from places to eat near The SEC to venues offering BYOB. Print copies are available as a free supplement to The Scotsman on Saturday 18 October, and thereafter at List pick-up points across the city. TipLists for both Glasgow and Edinburgh are also published online on our website.

The new Eat & Drink 365 guides are the latest development in an on-going partnership between The List and sponsor William Grant & Sons to support the coverage of the dynamic food, drink and hospitality scene in and around Glasgow and Edinburgh.
