We feel super lucky to have found Five March. We only went there because the maitre d' at Ox and Finch (another excellent foodie destination in Glasgow) couldn't accommodate us as walk-ins, and instead, gave us an inside tip. And we only went to Ox and Finch because a local police officer said it was the best. 

We have to thank that maitre d' and that cop. Five March was the best tip of our Glasgow trip, and we're happy we can now pass the torch to you. Along with our secret that restaurateurs and cops usually know the best places to eat.

Glasgow is home to some very good restaurants with enterprising young chefs.

Five March, serving small, shared plates, stood out for a number of reasons.

First, the delightfully creative cuisine. Think of it like Scottish tapas, but with more world fusion flair.

Some of their mouth-watering creations: truffle mustard-misted artichokes, yogurt-kissed mackerel, hot-sauced cucumbers, kimchi-inspired salad, and Pho-infused beef.

Just writing this article, we wish we were there now.

Second, the staff is friendly and super-knowledgeable, and great at making recommendations, whether about the food or the drinks.

The bar is stocked with a delightful selection of wines and amazing scotches little-known to those outside the UK, and the bartender introduced us to the Bruichladdich, before it became popular and was still a hidden gem.

Last but not least, Five March's walls are covered with eye-catching art, including works by art darling France-Lise McGurn, whose pieces we saw the next day hanging at the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Imagine dining at a hip yet relaxed Scottish restaurant designed for the global palate while admiring exquisite museum-quality modern art.

Run, don't walk. Reservations encouraged.
