Glasgow, renowned for its vibrant dining scene, celebrated its culinary heart last night with a hosted panel discussion to launch Dining Tales (Tuesday, 19th November).

This captivating new book shines a spotlight on the stories behind some of the city’s most iconic restaurants and the trailblazing chefs who define Glasgow’s dining culture.

A perfect Christmas gift for foodies, Dining Tales is a collaboration between Marco Giannasi, owner of the legendary Battlefield Rest bar and restaurant and Glasgow author Alex Meikle.

This beautifully crafted book is now available to purchase from Waterstones Book store, The Gannet and Eusebi’s Deli in the west end. 

Brimming with fascinating anecdotes, Dining Tales offers readers a behind-the-scenes look at the stories, challenges, and triumphs of the city’s most celebrated restaurants and their passionate creators.

The launch event saw book contributors – award-winning chef, Peter Mckenna of the Gannet, Giovanna Eusebi, the powerhouse behind Eusebi’s, Asif Ali from the iconic Shish Mahal, and author Marco Ginnasi host a lively culinary panel discussion with Glasgow author, journalist, and “man about town”, Paul Trainer. 

From tales of perseverance and innovation to celebrating the community-driven spirit that defines the city, the evening was a love letter to Glasgow’s restaurant industry.

Peter McKenna, Chef Patron at The Gannet, said: “Glasgow’s food scene is more than just great restaurants; it’s about the people, the passion, and the stories behind each plate.

Dining Tales captures that beautifully. It’s been an honour to share our story alongside so many talented peers.”

Dining Tales is now available via Waterstones Book store on Sauchiehall St, The Gannet restaurant in Finniston or via home delivery from https://www.dining-tales.co.uk/
