If you're hunting for first-class Italian food, Main Street in Coatbridge has restaurants for you. The area has a long-standing Italian community, resulting in some serious impressive trattorias. For example, at Guidi's, you can order up pizzas that could have been scooped straight from a stone oven in the back streets of Naples. Enjoy classic pasta dishes cooked with homemade sauces, and savour carefully sourced ingredients like pancetta and Parma ham - as well as some of the finest wine in Glasgow.

But if you aren't in the mood for some home-cooked Italian grub, that's not a problem. Restaurants in Coatbridge also offer some superb Indian cuisine that's the equal of any other Glasgow suburbs. Curry snobs from all over the area flock to spots like Eastern Palace on Bank Street in the centre of town, which has been serving up beautifully spiced veggie and meat curries for 30 years. When you need to puncture the gloom of winter, or spice up a summer's evening, these places are the perfect option, and with Quandoo, you can always make sure you beat the crowds to their sought-after tables.
