Fantastic authentic Panjabi cooking from Ranjit. I love her spinach dish - takes hours to cook. Very reasonable so it's always busy. Be prepared to join others at a big table and maybe to wait for a table.

Fantastic pizza experience. This big restaurant is always buzzing and you will probably have to queue - they often say 'come back in 20 mins' so you can go next door to The Spanish Butcher for an extravagant cocktail meantime! Well priced, Paesano is fresh, delicious pizzas, good Italian wine and olives, served briskly and brightly. Great vibe. Good value.

Arts & Culture
Our fave day out. Who'd have thought transport could be so interesting! From Chitty Chitty Bang Bang car to the first bicycle - invented in Scotland and glorious old bangers, buses, trams and even an old Glasgow street and costumes. There's a tall ship anchored outside, so plan a visit there too. Lots of outdoor space. You can cycle along the Clyde to get here - great views up and down the water. There's a cafe. Free to attend. Donations welcome.

For a longer stretch, walk on through Maxwell Park and into Pollok Country Park. Lovely wild woodland walks, a pond, stables. Maxwell House is a lovely example of a family estate and grand house and the old kitchen (now the cafe) is worth a visit to see how the house would have operated (and sample good scones!). There's a shop and exhibition.
