| Accomodation/Bars/Restaurants etc. The Pipers’ Tryst at the National Piping Centre is a hidden gem in Glasgow’s restaurant scene. Located in the heart of Glasgow’s musical and theatre land this little restaurant offers great food with excellent Scottish hospitality. An amber glow and sunny welcome draw diners into the modest proportions of The Pipers’ Tryst. The menu reads like an encyclopedia of Scots cuisine with an occasional contemporary twist. The simple Scottish produce caters for all tastes from the warming home comfort style mince ‘n’ tatties to the fresh and buxom Loch Fyne scallops. The Pipers’ Tryst has become a well loved cozy home from home. (Glasgow Herald 2006) |
