An ever-changing line up of Scotland’s best food producers will serve the hungry Glasgow public seven days a week.
Taste Buchanan opened, with a mouth-watering array of traders serving up the likes of gourmet hot dogs, lip-smacking waffles, sour dough pizzas and Asian bao buns all washed down with a Scottish craft beer and cocktail bar.
Taste Buchanan is an innovative partnership between Land Securities-owned Buchanan Galleries and hi-tech street trading platform StreetDots, who are behind similar ventures in London. Inverness-born Atholl Milton, founder of StreetDots, said: “The timing is right for bringing this to Glasgow. There’s such an appetite in the city for interesting food, with great ingredients at a decent price. We’ve got some of Scotland’s most exciting traders coming together to offer up something a bit different and there’s always going to be something new for people to try.
“Taste Buchanan is also giving the traders the chance to experiment and really play with ideas without the pressure of having to take on a restaurant. We’ve got chefs starting up whole new brands for the launch and we’re really proud to be able to give that opportunity. There are eight incredible traders joining us for the launch and we’ll be seeing dozens more in the coming year. We’re so excited about finding out who’ll be joining us in making Taste Buchanan the best place in Glasgow for the newest trends in street food.”
