Cafe Gandolfi is a culinary landmark in the Merchant City and one of our favourite places to eat. Their relationship with Scottish produce is a founding pillar of their success. “It’s important, why would you use something in the restaurant that you wouldn’t use at home? You buy the best you can” owner Seamus MacInnes told us when we interviewed him. This ethos is why their new spring menu features outstanding ingredients like smoked beetroot, clava brie, west coast scallops, monkfish and Gressingham duck.
