Lychee Oriental, Glasgow
Featuring interiors inspired by the restaurants and “coffee houses” of Chongqing in south-western China, Lychee Oriental from chef Jimmy Lee brings the glamour and decadence of China’s “hotpot” region to Mitchell Street. Favourites include chargrilled chicken satay skewers for starters and Hong Kong sweet and sour prawn for main. Specialities include monkfish hotpot with spicy XO sauce, pulled aromatic duck and Japanese katsu curry.

Eighty Eight, Glasgow
Strands of homemade tagliatelle frequently hang to dry in the window of this unassuming little eatery in Glasgow’s west end. This venue is also a fresh pasta heaven, with tasty small-plate menu items including baba ganoush, ceviche and fresh pasta, although offerings vary depending on seasonality and produce availability.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
