And then there are those occasions that call for something a little more special: a birthday dinner, a date night or simply a treat after a long week. The good news is that the restaurants at The Glen Shopping Centre have it all covered.
Here's a look at the best restaurants at The Glen for every occasion, mood and appetite.
