THE PLACE TO EAT

John Lewis, first floor, Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow

0141 353 6677

Style: Steely, polished, roomy. Take it or leave it

Food: Fresh salad bar. Help yourself to a hip white ready-made bowlful.

Price: (pounds) 4.95 (including large chunk of bread with butter)

Always fully stocked, always fresh, and always super cool. What else could you possibly want from a shopping trip lunch? Ah, yes: plenty of choice (poached salmon, spiced chicken, or Waldorf) with three types of dressing on hand. Pick up your glass of chilled white wine and you're away.
