Guy's Restaurant & Bar
24 Candleriggs, Merchant City, Glasgow, G1 1LD
It's almost certainly worth booking at this well-established Merchant City favourite. At the end of the bar, the dining area is bright and buzzy, with some of the tables quite close together – more suited to social rather than intimate dining. Service…
North Bridge Brasserie North Bridge Brasserie
20 North Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1YT
If you wish a little 19th-century grandeur with your dinner, the North Bridge Brasserie will fit the bill. Now a hotel but originally the home of the Scotsman newspaper, dark wood panelling and marble columns give a period feel, while the adjacent bar…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 4RL
Trained in France, and having lead the Michelin-starred La Gavroche kitchen in London, one expects Mr Maule to conjure up truly accomplished dishes. And he does. Everything from the crisp white table cloths, black leather chairs to the sharply dressed…
Stravaigin 2
8 Ruthven Lane, Glasgow, G12 9BG
The younger Stravaigin, located near Byers Road, is an invitingly intimate space if lacking something of the character and quirkiness of the original. The food, however, is all you expect: imaginative combinations from around the globe impressively…
No. Sixteen
16 Byres Road, Glasgow, G11 5JY
In this small but perfectly formed restaurant at the bottom of Byres Road, attention to detail is a speciality. Fresh bread comes with a rosemary and parmesan infused dipping oil, simple but stunning. The diminutive size of the kitchen dictates that…
Gamba Gamba
225a West George Street, Glasgow, G2 2ND
The sign of a good fish restaurant is how well the front and back of house work in close synchronicity. Gamba has that instinctive, almost telepathic communication between cook and floor staff meaning everyone is alert to the unique properties of your…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2RL
Tacked on to the reception area of the Holiday Inn, the overly fussy décor of La Bonne Auberge may make you think that the restaurant hasn’t changed much since the late 1970s when French food became popular in the UK. Still, when the starters arrive the…
Kyloe Restaurant & Grill
The Rutland Hotel, 1–3 Rutland Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2AE
Kyloe, previously the Restaurant at the Rutland, has been reborn as a place for all things beef. Occupying a grand, first floor space, it’s decked out with cowhide booths and other bovine-themed furnishings. The playful interior, however, belies a…
The Sun Inn
Lothianbridge, Dalkeith, EH22 4TR
Recent winners at the Scottish Hotel Awards, including Gastro Pub of the year second year running, the Sun Inn offers five boutique-styled rooms and an award winning bar and bistro. You can find dishes such as whole roast partridge with honey-roasted…
The Grill at Dakota Forthbridge
Dakota Forth Bridge, Ferrymuir Retail Park, South Queensferry, EH30 9QZ
It may look like a black office block, or perhaps something to do with M16, located at the side of the motorway at South Queensferry, but the Dakota Hotel houses a stylish bar and restaurant that has a reputation that extends well beyond their hotel…
The Howgate Bar & Restaurant
Howgate Village, Penicuik, Midlothian, EH26 8PY
You'll need your wits about you to find this countryside inn not far from Penicuik, but tracking it down is well worth the effort. The converted stables are deceptively spacious inside, but both the casual bistro area and the more circumspect restaurant…
Rogano
11 Exchange Place, Glasgow, G1 3AN
For many years the go-to-place for fine dining in luxuriant surroundings, Rogano has been serving high flyers, celebs, and expense account businesspeople for nigh on seven decades. The plush interiors speak of old world wealth with bronze mirrors…
The Sisters Jordanhill
1a Ashwood Gardens, 512 Crow Road, Glasgow, G13 1NU
The more bohemian of the two Sisters restaurants is fitted out in rich green and tartan with twinkling lights. The menu is almost identical to its arguably more stylish branch in Kelvingrove, though the atmosphere feels more personal and homey at this…
Creel Restaurant
The Harbour, 25 Lamer Street, Dunbar, EH42 1HJ
Occupying a prime location just a stone's skip from the harbour at Dunbar, the Creel is a sparsely decorated restaurant with low wooden ceilings, stripped floors and dark wooden furniture, making the food the star attraction. Owner-chef Logan Thorburn…
First Coast
97–101 Dalry Road, Edinburgh, EH11 2AB
Anyone who believes great food can’t be found west of Haymarket is missing out. First Coast’s marine wainscoting, cream walls and natural wood create a serene blend of smart, bright and comforting. So it is with the food. A menu featuring grain salad…
The Inn at Kippen
Fore Road, Kippen, FK8 3DT
A cosy dining room and convivial environment make the Inn at Kippen well worth a detour. While the food verges towards the finer end of the scale, owner Gordon Wright has made a conscious effort not to get too carried away, keeping the atmosphere, and…
The Orangery, Balbirnie House Hotel
Balbirnie House Hotel, Balbirnie Park, by Glenrothes, Fife, KY7 6NE
The Orangerie Restaurant takes its name from the long south-facing room of the former mansion house that was Balbirnie, with full length windows, trompe l’oeil mirrors and skylight with huge modern chandeliers. During the day it is full of natural light…
The Sisters Kelvingrove
36 Kelvingrove Street, Glasgow, G3 7RZ
There’s little or no difference between the two Sisters in terms of food, service or prices, but where Jordanhill has the atmosphere of a casual neighbourhood restaurant, Kelvingrove looks and feels a lot more dressed-up. Although the O’Donnells have…
Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery
652 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8UF
The Buttery has long been a by-word for quality in Glasgow so the Two Fat Ladies franchise raised some expectations by keeping the name on moving in. And they didn’t disappoint. A splendid baroque Victorian bar leads to a tartan carpeted wood panelled…
The Lodge at Carfraemill
The Lodge, Carfraemill, Lauder, Scottish Borders, TD2 6RA
Nestled just four miles north of Lauder, Carfraemill’s reputation precedes it. Run by Jim and Jo Sutherland – a farmer and former home economics teacher – this award-winning restaurant and hotel prides itself on showcasing Scottish produce. Their…
The Old Bakehouse Bistro and Grill
Main Street, West Linton, EH46 7EA
There's an old-time feel to the fixtures and fittings in this former village bakery, but the approach is contemporary and imaginative, with children's, high tea and Sunday brunch menus alongside a weekly market menu and main à la carte.
The Park Bistro
Park Farm, Linlithgow, West Lothian, EH49 6QY
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place, Glasgow, G1 2DT
Positioned to receive tourists spilling out from George Square is this, the flagship in Alan Tomkins’ collection of Glasgow bars and restaurants. With its muted tones, champagne bar and live piano playing it seems halfway between a relaxed, cosmopolitan…
