Porter & Rye

Porter & Rye is the Finnieston steakhouse to book when the roast is the occasion rather than the routine, and it was the second Glasgow venue named in the Good Food Guide's best-roasts coverage. The Good Food Guide describes its Sunday roast as a duo of thick-cut beef and braised ox cheek with an extensive range of oven-roasted vegetables, a large Yorkshire pudding and glossy bone-marrow jus. At around £42 per person it is the priciest roast on this list, which is the trade-off against our number one: you pay steakhouse money for the cooking and a grown-up, date-night room rather than a big-value family spread. Choose it over The Loveable Rogue when kitchen craft and setting matter more than the size of the table or the bill, and confirm the current price and any non-meat option when you book.
