Taking to social media after their visit, the television cook revealed the much-loved food spot in the city serves up the 'best lasagne ever'.

Andi said: "We went to the University Cafe to meet Lorna McNee who is another GBM Alumni. 

"Love all my Scottish chefs.

"A woman in the University Cafe made me a lasagna that I've got a photo of on my phone and sometimes I just take it out and have a little look at it.

"The ragu was incredible like the meaty sauce was delicious. The creamy sauce was delicious.

"Lots of different layers, quite a lot of layers. Then she had extra sauce around it, extra sauce on the top and then parmesan melted in and then more parmesan on the top."

University Café was first opened by Italian-born Pasquale Verrechia on September 1, 1918, and he has passed the business down across four generations.

As the name suggests, it’s popular with the local student population and when the warm weather approaches, queues form down the street for a generous helping of ice cream and raspberry sauce.
