Mozza Glasgow
39 Renfield StreetFantastic, authentic pizza. Our favourite
Amazing breakfasts and brunches. It'll likely be busy at weekends and you might have to wait ten minutes for a table but it's worth it! It's around £7-8 for a plate of food and it's really really good. Very stylish and interesting flavours, a hipster crowd (in a nice way!) Friendly staff too and a local favourite.

Drinks & Nightlife

The Rum Shack is a great place to go for a more lively drink later in the evening. They often have DJs playing music for free, but they also have a downstairs venue where bigger names come which charges for entry. Great Caribbean food and nice outside area in the summer.

Neighborhoods
More cafes, bars and restaurants than any other area in the city. It's one of the most affluent areas but it's where the university is so also lots of students. You can catch an underground train there from town or a 30 minute walk to Bridge Street station.
