Tripadvisor Awards 2022: Glasgow restaurant dishing up ‘novel and delicious’ food crowned one of UK’s best for fine dining

A Glasgow restaurant has today been named one the best restaurants for fine dining in the UK according to Tripadvisor, the world’s largest travel guidance platform.

The Gannet in Finnieston scooped seventh place in the Top 10 UK Fine Dining Restaurants category at the Tripadvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards 2022.

The Argyle Street restaurant has become a staple in the fabric of the Glasgow food scene thanks to its seasonally changing multi-course menu inspired by the city’s artisan producers, foragers and farmers.

The Gannet boasts a 4.5/5 rating on Tripadvisor, with customers praising the restaurant for its ‘novel and delicious’ food, ‘chilled’ atmosphere and ‘beautifully stylish’ decor.

Lauren Murphy, vice president and GM of Hospitality Solutions at Tripadvisor, said: “Dining out is an internationally beloved pastime: for many restaurant-goers.

“It’s frequenting their favourite neighbourhood eatery and for others, it’s snagging a table at a top-rated restaurant on holiday.

“More than half of consumers in a recent survey told us that food is the most exciting component of their trip.”
