We were in Glasgow for the weekend to celebrate my wife's birthday and decided to book our lunch at the Mussel Inn on Hope Street. We chose to have 2 starters and 2 main courses and everything we had was superb but our favourite was the Messels done in the Moroccan sauce. Our only complaint is that there is not a Mussel Inn in Aberdeen....
