Paninis Sandwich Bar

Panini's Sandwich Bar on West Nile Street has been a fixture of the financial district lunch trade since 1998, serving the offices and professional workers of a stretch that runs between Sauchiehall Street and Argyle Street. The offer is broad for a sandwich bar: fresh-filled paninis, toasted sandwiches, salads and jacket potatoes share the menu with hot daily specials — steak pie, chilli con carne, chicken curry, lasagne and macaroni cheese — that make it considerably more than a snack stop. Breakfast rolls, strong coffee and teas open the day. The lunchtime rush is the main event, bringing the office workers who have made the place a neighbourhood constant. Eat in at the continental-styled interior or take away. A daytime-only operation, closed in the evenings and at weekends.
