Eusebi Deli, Glasgow

Stephen McLaughlin says: "Giovanna is passionate about real, Italian food, and you can tell. She's travelled extensively and along with her southern Italian heritage, she brings influences from every market she's visited and every dish she's sampled to the food in Eusebi."

Crabshakk Botanics, Glasgow

Stephen McLaughlin says the Crabshakk Botanics in Glasgow is a great place for "fantastic staples like fish and chips".

However, he says that his favourite dishes are the clams cooked in olive oil and garlic, the white bait and aioli, or the moules mariniere.
