The best rooftop restaurants in Glasgow? It doesn't get much better than Windows at Carlton George Hotel. Ascend to its lofty space to indulge in afternoon teas, beautifully prepared meals and a range of liquid libations while overlooking the city.
The Corinthian Club fronts a beautiful rooftop retreat, decked out with luxe leather booths and plenty of pretty plants. A real suntrap in the summer months, this is a lovely place to sip Champagne, enjoy a few oysters and top up your tan while soaking in the views. Even better? They've got tasty dishes like chicken supreme and king prawn linguini up for grabs too.
