about wokway restaurant

Glasgow

Before we talk about restaurants in Glasgow, please let us tell you a little about our fair city.

Glasgow, one of Europe’s most vibrant, dynamic and stylish cities, has been named the number one UK destination “on the rise” by the world’s largest travel site, TripAdvisor and they’ve also named the city as the third best destination in the UK in 2014, in the 2013 Travellers’ Choice Destinations Awards. Also the largest city in Scotland, Glasgow is renowned for its stunning Victorian architecture, vibrant nightlife and thriving arts scene. Glasgow is going through a fast paced regeneration and evolution. Its Victorian legacy is now swamped with trendy bars, world-class eateries to tickle your taste buds, and a hedonistic club culture that will bring out your nocturnal side.

Best of all, though, is Glasgow’s live-music scene which is one of the best in Britain, and accessible through countless venues dedicated to local, homegrown tunes. The transformation of the city is most evident along the revitalised River Clyde, where visitors can explore Glasgow’s maritime heritage along riverfront walkways. No cultural journey is complete without a visit to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum – which, in typical Glaswegian fashion, strips the city of any false pretences and tells it like it is – both the inspiring and the infuriating aspects of life here for the normal Glaswegian over the years.

history of sauchiehall street in glasgow

 Sauchiehall Street is a name unique to Glasgow and yet known well beyond the city limits. It’s a long street by Glasgow standards and was renowned for its department stores, hotels, cinemas, restaurants and tearooms as well as art galleries and a range of smaller businesses. Much of the street is situated on a hillside that was probably once moorland, parts of which may have been wooded and others later cultivated. The sauchie haugh or willow meadow from which the street derives its name was probably a low-lying area located near what would later become Charing Cross. The development of Sauchiehall Street was part of the westward growth of the city, spurred by the desire of wealthy merchants to own property on the outskirts. Villas and terraces with distinguished names like Kensington and Windsor Place were constructed during the second decade of the 19th Century and the street became a quiet and narrow suburban thoroughfare known as Saughie-haugh Road. It was widened in 1846 and then in the 1850’s some of the older buildings were replaced with tenements and in the 1870’s with commercial properties. The 1896 Ordnance Survey map of Central Glasgow still shows some villas remaining on the north side of Sauchiehall Street in the section between Thistle Street and Scott Street.

This view, looking East along Sauchiehall Street, was taken from an upper room in the Grand Hotel. On the left are the Charing Cross Mansions, superbly designed by J. J. Burnet for Burnet, Son & Campbell and built in red sandstone in 1889-91. Newton Street opens on the right and William Skinner’s tea rooms are on the ground floor at the corner facing the camera. William Skinner & Son was one of the oldest established tea room enterprises in Glasgow, having been founded in 1835. The business started out further up Sauchiehall Street and in due course established a reputation for teas and luncheon. The premises were furnished in the French style and cultivated an atmosphere of conservative elegance. ( There is some discussion of William Skinner & Son’s enterprise in the comments section. ) On close examination, the Standard tram cars in view are fully enclosed and still have the color-coded upper panels so this view probably dates from the mid to late 1930’s.

This view, looking East along Sauchiehall Street, was taken from an upper room in the Grand Hotel in 2013's.
