LUNCH GLASGOW
EUSEBI DELI 793 Shettleston Road, 0141 763 0399, Tue–Sat 10am–6pm; closed Sun/Mon. See panel, page 100. PIECE 1056 Argyle Street, 0141 221 7975, Mon–Thu 8am–7pm; Fri 8am–4pm; Sat 10am–3pm; Closed Sun. www.laucknerandmoore.com Queues go out the door daily for the signature pastrami special sandwich with emmental cheese, sweet chilli mayo, homemade coleslaw and gherkins. Add a quid and get a cup of the day’s (always vegetarian) soup on the side.
DELIZIQUE 70-72 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, 0141 339 2000, Sat–Wed 9am–7pm; Thu/Fri 9am–8pm. www.delizique.co.uk They call it The Big Piece – one huge table-sized slab of ciabatta sarnie, with different fillings daily, sold by the slice. When it’s gone it’s gone, and demand is such that too late o’clock happens disappointingly early in the day. GRASSROOTS ORGANIC 20 Woodlands Road, 0141 353 3278, Mon–Wed 8am–6pm; Thu/Fri 8am–7pm; Sat 9am–6pm; Sun
11am–5pm. www.grassrootsorganic.com Proving that even chocolate can be nutritious, Grassroots has an array of unexpectedly full-flavoured and satisfying vegan raw snacks on their deli counter. Salads, mango wraps, quiche and macaroons are ‘living food’ until eaten, veggie burgers and soup are cooked to death instead.
EDINBURGH THE BAKED POTATO SHOP 56 Cockburn Street, 0131 225 7572. Mon–Fri 9am–9pm. Potatoes as big as your head, stuffed full of tasty vegetarian toppings, with a good vegan selection too. Healthy, great value and guaranteed to keep you going till at least a week on Tuesday, the tattie shop is highly recommended.

BROUGHTON DELI 7 Barony Street, Broughton, 0131 558 7111, Mon–Fri 8am–6pm; Sat 9am–6pm; Sun 11am–5pm. www.broughton-deli.co.uk Broughton has put a lot of effort into producing one of the best breakfasts going, with food sourced from ethical producers all over Scotland. Among the tastier items are black pudding from Ramsay's of Carluke and the deli's own home-made potato scones. (Niki Boyle)

BREAKFAST GLASGOW
TAPA COFFEEHOUSE 721 Pollokshaws Road, Strathbungo, 0141 423 9494. Mon–Sat 8am–6pm; Sun 9am–6pm. www.tapabakehouse.com With coffee beans roasted specially once a week, Tapa really earns its reputation for the city’s best brew. Team a cuppa with a substantial Ramsay’s bacon sarnie on organic bread fresh from their own bakery and you’re ready for anything.
WHERE THE MONKEY SLEEPS 182 West Regent Street, 0141 226 3406, Mon–Fri 7am–5pm; closed Sat/Sun. www.monkeysleeps.com The humble Scottish breakfast roll reaches new heights. Fight your way through bleary-eyed couriers and office crew to join the queue for poached duck eggs and Stornoway black pudding in a bun. If that doesn’t wake you up, the Metallica soundtrack will. HYNDLAND CAFÉ 96 Clarence Drive, Hyndland, 0141 334 2719, Mon–Fri 7.30am–5.30pm; Sat 8.30am–5pm; Sun 9.30am–4pm. When the morning after makes you regret the night before, there’s only one café to call. Breakfast in bed delivered to the door with a sachet of Resolve and the Sunday papers? This is what makes a true local hero.
