Paolo Nutini loves 'old favourite' Glasgow restaurant

From the elegant residences of Glasgow’s merchants and traders in the 18th century to the cosmopolitan hub of bars and restaurants it is today, it’s hard to imagine a time when the Merchant City was derelict.

The wooden revolving doors are over a century old and were the same ones taken from the Grand Hotel in Charing Cross before it was demolished in 1968. The stained-glass windows feature the art ‘A flock of fishes’ by John Clark, and the furniture in the dining room was handcrafted by renowned Tim Stead.MacKenzie’s appreciation for the café aesthetic sings through the walls of Café Gandolfi as his own photographs of Glasgow cafes of the 1970s still adorn them.

Glaswegians and tourists, the young and old, are pulled in and back again and again for its delicious traditional food, warm and intimate atmosphere, stunning interiors, and quaint café feel all combined into one. Café Gandolfi’s food, atmosphere and charm have earned it a place in The Times’ 30 best restaurants of 2024, proving the Merchant City gem has ‘still got it’ after more than four decades.When discussing his favourite spots in Glasgow to enjoy food and drink, Paisley singer Paolo Nutini said:"If you want something really nice to eat, go to Cafe Gandolfi. They do a take on Scottish food but with a twist.
