Taste the Place
Taste the Place is a new range of experiences celebrating Glasgow's rich cultural heritage through food, inviting locals, families, and visitors alike to embark on a free, self-guided culinary journey across Glasgow's diverse food scene.
Taste the Place - where food from our past, nourishes our future.
Partnering with over 40 eateries representing 23 cuisines, Taste the Place offers food lovers an opportunity to sample traditional dishes from long-established institutions as well as innovative newcomers introducing global flavours to the city. Highlights include a 100-year-old ice cream parlour beloved by local celebrities, an Italian bistro housed within the UK's only remaining tram shelter, and Glasgow's oldest sweet shop.
Participants can also explore emerging international cuisines, such as a plant-based bakery and southeast Asian street food served from a hole-in-the-wall.
Taste the Place's website offers downloadable maps designed to inspire and guide participants on their journey, uncovering the stories of the people behind the businesses and their unique cuisines. Visitors can choose their own route from three themed experiences:
- Taste the World, highlighting Glasgow's food culture
- Taste through Time, highlighting eateries housed in Glasgow's most iconic and historic venues and
- Taste for Good, spotlighting businesses that serve great food while supporting the wider community.
Throughout April, select venues are serving up exclusive dishes and drinks that showcase their passion, creativity, and heritage. For those inspired to try recreating some of these flavours in their own kitchens, Taste the Place also features a collection of recipes from participating Venezuelan, Korean, Sri Lankan and Greek venues, to name just a few.
