A Culinary Melting Pot
One of the perks of living in East Kilbride is the diverse and authentic selection of restaurants to choose from.
What makes some of the restaurants in East Kilbride so special is the uncompromising attitude so many of them have towards providing diners with an authentic experience.
Perhaps this speaks to the openness of East Kilbride residents to other cultures; keen to have their horizons broadened.
For example, restaurants like Wee Gurkha Curry House, which specializes in Nepalese food, only use herbs local to Nepal when preparing their dishes and aim, wherever possible, to minimalize the use of unhealthy fats and salts.
There are also places like Arigo, the Italian restaurant, that go the extra mile in ensuring their diners get that authentic Italian experience – this means foregoing the Bolognese that you could make at home for truly transportive meals that take you to the heart of Italy.
If you do just want a proper Scottish meal though, don’t worry! There are enough traditional Scottish restaurants out there too. The Loupin Stane, for example, offers an all-day Scottish breakfast!
More than just a place for the culinary explorer, East Kilbride is a welcoming place for families with young children.
Places like the Kittoch pub restaurant offer free breakfast for kids between 8am and 12pm, while other places like the Crooked Lum guarantee that each of their kid’s meals are not only delicious but contain 2 of your child’s 5-a-day to help support a balanced diet.
