ONE of Scotland’s renowned steak restaurants is celebrating being recognised as one of the world’s best yet again.
A list of the world’s 101 best steak restaurants has been published annually by the London-based Uppercut Media since 2019.
Once again, Glasgow’s Porter & Rye is the only Scottish restaurant to make the cut, coming in at number 82.
Judges commented: “Nestled in the heart of Glasgow’s Finnieston neighbourhood, Porter & Rye is a haven for steak aficionados and lovers of fine dining alike.
“This stylish establishment seamlessly blends contemporary chic with traditional warmth, offering an inviting atmosphere where guests can indulge in exceptional cuisine and impeccable service.
“At the heart of Porter & Rye’s menu is a selection of in-house dry-aged premium cuts of beef, selected by John Gilmour butchers expertly aged for maximum flavour and tenderness.

“From the succulent ribeye to the flavourful Porterhouse, each steak is cooked to perfection over an open flame, imparting a delicious smoky char that enhances its natural richness.”
Marking the arrival of a bright red plaque that recognises the achievement, Porter & Rye took to social media to celebrate, saying: “There are only two of these plaques in Scotland and they are both on our door.
“We’re over the moon to be listed again, thank you so much @worldbeststeakrestaurants.”
The highest ranking restaurant for the UK and Ireland in this year’s list was Cut in London at number 10, followed by Hawksmoor at number 12.
The top spot was given to Parilla Don Julio in Buenos Aires for the second year running.
Judges added: “This year’s evaluation covered over 850 steak restaurants worldwide, reflecting notable improvements in meat quality, cooking methods and customer service.
“The rise of European steakhouses, with their innovative aging techniques and ‘farm to fork’ concepts, has been particularly prominent, challenging the traditional dominance of classic American steak establishments from former years.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
