Glasgow's quirkiest cafes and restaurants to try this weekend
Here are the best 'off the beaten track' cafes and restaurants to try in Glasgow:

For something a stone's throw away from town, try The Hidden Lane Tearoom in Finnieston.
The cafe is renowned for its quirky theme with tea and cakes served on vintage china and traditional posters and bunting adorning the venue.
Location: 1103 Argyle Street, G3 8ND
The University Cafe
Continuing the vintage theme, The University Cafe on Byres Road has been a student staple for years.
The cafe has comfortable booth seats and serves the classic Scottish fry-up as well as homemade ice cream for those on the go.
The University Cafe has been praised on Tripadvisor with reviews giving it a 4.5/5.
One user said: "The ice cream cone out front got me. Two pounds, 70 pence. Homemade, three flavours, and the vanilla was wonderful. This was a short walk from the Kelvingrove Museum. I bet meals are good too."
