We savour our lunchtime's (and also out meals) here at Fat Buddha Store , so we were very pleased when the Nippon kitchen just opened it's doors round the corner from our store (91 West George St Glasgow). After setting up shop a few weeks ago, it's safe to say this has to be one of the best Japanese restaurant's the city has to offer. The Nippon Kitchen combines Modern Japan with Old Glasgow, in a Grade A listed building in the heart of the City Centre, providing a cool and contemporary eating space that is both beautiful and relaxed. Using locally sourced and specially selected Japanese ingredients, they serve up an array of authentic Japanese dishes including crisp tempura, mouth-watering rice and noodle dishes and fresh sushi, handmade to order. The Nippon Kitchen is sister restaurant to the award winning Nanakusa on Sauchiehall St in Glasgow, which you should also try out.

A firm favourite with all of the staff here at Fat Buddha Store , and a true success with the public, the restaurant has put itself on the map in a matter of months. The café, restaurant and deli opened its doors on Bell Street in Glasgow’s historic Merchant City. Inspiration for the name was taken from the old fruit, vegetable and cheese markets which thrived in the area in the early 19th century and were referred to as the ‘central markets’. The restaurants beautiful interior makes for comfortable eating, and if anything grabs you the minute you walk in the door it has to be the uplifting atmosphere. The restaurant serves up modern British food with great style. Chefs Andy Lambert and Neil Palmer have developed a menu which includes the very best in seasonal and sustainable produce. Plates include...
