Wanderlust travel magazine have published their list of the world’s coolest restaurants and Glasgow’s west end is featured. The resident experts at the publication have revealed their favourite international restaurants, including a vegan junk food bar in Amsterdam, a beach shack in the Caribbean and rustic seafood cantina in Italy.
Hanoi Bike Club earns its inclusion with its authentic Vietnamese menu and eclectic street food dishes.
The entry states:
“One thing hits every visitor to Hanoi Bike Shop with the force of a full-on Scottish gale.
Not the fact that this Glasgow institution is festooned with bicycle parts. Not the sense of relief at finding this Vietnamese restaurant at the end of a dark side street off Byres Road. Not the eclectic mix of street food, pho and their own home-made organic tofu.
It’s the smell of fish sauce so strong that it causes your eyes to water your knees to go weak.
After a moment of acclimatisation, while tastebuds relocate south of the DMZ, has occurred, Hanoi Bike Shop weaves its magic with a menu rich in authentic flavours and rare treats.
More information at the Hanoi Bike Shop website.”
