Glasgow steakhouse in 'vibrant district' named one of the best in the world
An "exceptional" steakhouse in a "vibrant" Glasgow district has been named one of the best in the world.
The popular location was named alongside steakhouses around the globe, including Don Julia in Buenos Aires and Burnt Ends in Singapore.
Porter and Rye in the Finnieston area of Glasgow was the only eatery in Scotland to be named among the best steakhouses in the world by The List.
Discussing the restaurant, the publication said: "Tucked away in the vibrant Finnieston district of Glasgow, Porter & Rye continues to set the standard for premium steakhouse dining in Scotland.
"Combining refined elegance with a touch of rustic charm, this contemporary restaurant offers a warm and stylish setting for those in search of exceptional cuts and polished service.
"The interior strikes a perfect balance between modern sophistication and understated comfort.
"With its moody lighting, exposed brick, and tasteful design details, the space feels intimate without being formal.
"At the core of Porter & Rye's appeal is its impressive selection of dry-aged beef, sourced from acclaimed butcher John Gilmour.
"Expertly aged on-site and flame-grilled to your liking, these cuts – from robust ribeye to the generous Porterhouse – deliver depth of flavour and tenderness that truly set them apart.
"The menu is rounded out by an enticing array of starters, sides and sauces designed to complement the star attraction.
"Think beef dripping chips with just the right crisp, velvety truffle mash, or seasonal vegetables with a subtle glaze – each dish demonstrating thoughtful preparation and quality produce."
Highlighting the service on offer here, the website added: "What truly elevates the experience, however, is the service.
"The team is both knowledgeable and personable, offering informed suggestions on wine pairings and ensuring every aspect of your meal is meticulously taken care of.
"Their genuine enthusiasm for the craft of hospitality is evident from the moment you arrive."
