Glasgow Food & Drink Travel Guide

City Breaks, Europe, Features / Erica Bracken

Too often overshadowed by its more immediately accessible neighbour Edinburgh, what Glasgow (allegedly) lacks in grandeur and tourist attractions, it makes up for in spades with character, humour and a cracking food and drinks scene. The hosting of the Commonwealth Games in 2014 did wonders to increase the profile of this underrated second city, which

Domini Kemp on High Fat Diets and Lean Business

Interviews / Erica Bracken

Domini Kemp has a confession. “I adore carbs. I would eat carbs three, five times a day if I could, preferably slathered with protein and fat, throw it all in there,” she says while sitting in Alchemy Juice Co, the very cafe whose menu she designed to reflect her low carb-high fat diet. “But it

A Hotel Restaurant Worth Checking-in to – The Brasserie at The Marker Review

Restaurant Reviews / Erica Bracken

On an evening when #HottestDayoftheYear was trending, the distinctively cool and collected veneer of Grand Canal Square in Dublin’s Docklands had melted. Ties discarded and heels swapped for sandals, people sprawled out on benches, mingled amongst the distinctive ‘light sticks’, and pooled outside the bars and eateries that flank the canal. There was a playful

Pleasure in Great Measure – Etto Restaurant Review

Restaurant Reviews / Darina Coffey

One thing I am always keen to quiz chefs about is their go-to off duty dinner choice and one name crops up time and time again – Etto. The petite Merrion Row eatery opened by Liz Matthews and Simon Barrett in 2014 to great acclaim, earning a Bib Gourmand after just 8 months and securing

American Casual Reloaded – Dillinger’s Restaurant Review

Restaurant Reviews / Gaby Guedez

Uma Thurman’s cool and mischievous character from classic cult film Pulp Fiction would love Dillinger’s. While there’s no dance floor in this American style restaurant and the music leans more towards upbeat synthesisers than electric guitars, the drink’s list was way more exiting than the overpriced milkshake she shared with John Travolta’s charming gangster in the iconic diner scene. Unsurprisingly busy
