There are 16 new Bib Gourmand restaurants in the 2022 Great Britain and Ireland edition of the Michelin Guide, of which 13 are new additions to the Guide. Two of the new restaurants added are in Glasgow.
Named after Bibendum – the Michelin Man – the Bib Gourmand distinction highlights restaurants offering good food at competitive prices.
In total, 122 restaurants have been awarded a Bib Gourmand in the 2022 selection. New Michelin stars will be announced later this week.
Here is what the guide had to say:
Ka Pao, Glasgow
A fun and affordable spot serving tasty, Asian-inspired cooking, Ka Pao is housed in the spacious, industrial-style basement of a former garage, a few streets away from Glasgow’s Botanical Gardens. Dishes like crispy duck leg with green papaya & jaew, or roast pork belly with burnt tomato sambal, choy sum & jasmine rice have immense flavour and depth. Friendly staff are well-versed in speedy, effective service and the buzz of happy diners is all around.
Celentano’s, Glasgow
New to the Glasgow dining scene, this simply decorated, homely-style bistro is situated on the ground floor of a boutique hotel close to the Necropolis. There’s an experienced chef at the helm and the modern, Italian-influenced cooking uses the finest Scottish ingredients and comes with plenty of flavour. Staff are keen to recommend dishes: choose from such delights as lasagne fritti with porcini and Cora Linn, or beef ragu pappardelle, with Lanark White.
