Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9QR
Relaxed neighbourhood bistro Blonde occupies a quiet spot on St Leonard's, not far from the hustle and bustle of student-filled South Clerk Street. Its two unassuming dining spaces are clean, minimal and simply furnished, with blonde wood and large…
The Terrace Brasserie The Terrace Brasserie
Royal Terrace Hotel, 18–22 Royal Terrace, Edinburgh, EH7 5AQ
Situated on one of the grandest Georgian streets in Edinburgh is the dining-room of the Royal Terrace Hotel. The concise menu features some interesting ideas that lift it above the usual brasserie fare. For starters the soft sweetness of the scallops is…
Ten Hill Place
10 Hill Place, Edinburgh, EH8 9DS
Surrounded by academia and festival venues, Ten Hill Place is ideally placed for a great bistro. But hotel restaurants so often fail to shine, and whether or not Ten Hill Place rises above its peers depends on a major refurbishment which the owner, the…
Monteiths Monteiths
57–61 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SR
Monteiths’ discreet menu board at the head of one of the Royal Mile’s darker closes is easily missed. But don’t, because this subterranean bar and restaurant’s low-key Scottish style is a welcome antidote to the energetic tartanry to be found nearby.
Spoon Café Bistro
6a Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DH
Home life getting you down? Move here. Seriously. It’s open from 10am till 10pm, serving everything from morning rolls through to a three-course dinner. There’s free wi-fi. People bring you drinks. The furniture is cool kitsch-retro-chic. If only the…
Bar 50
50 Blackfriars Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1NE
Set inside a shiny modern hostel and marketing itself squarely at its backpacker residents and the students from the halls next door, Bar 50 is the kind of place it’s easy to walk past. While not exactly a hidden gem, its location and focus on cheap…
Itchycoo Bar & Kitchen
80 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1TH
Sleek and glossy, the tables in the Radisson Blu’s Itchycoo are wisely clustered round a small central bar area, helping a buzzy atmosphere to form even with relatively few diners. The lounge menu is available all day, and is exactly what you’d expect…
Double Dutch
27–29 Marshall Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9BJ
Under new management since the summer of 2008, but still trading under the same name, any former Dutch influence which this café boasted has long since disappeared. There’s plenty to take its place, although it could be argued that the extensiveness of…
Café Renroc
91 Montgomery Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5HZ
Open from early in the morning until late, this corner café is the heart of its very own little local scene and a hub for Hillsiders, with frequent live music, poetry and story-telling evenings, even featuring – of all things – a beauty salon…
Metropole
33 Newington Road, Edinburgh, EH9 1QR
Taken over recently by the folks who make Canonmills’ Circle Café go round so nicely, the improvements at Metropole are clear. Always a pleasant, airy space, the mix and match floral crockery remains, as do the diner-style booths, though they’ve been…
Café Cassis Café Cassis
Salisbury Hotel, Salisbury Road, Edinburgh, EH16 5AA
Tucked under the Salisbury Hotel in the quieter reaches of Edinburgh’s southside, Café Cassis makes good use of its semi-basement situation. Beyond the tight entranceway, the interior is warmly lit, welcoming and relaxed, and backs onto a…
Elliot's Restaurant
Apex Hotel, Waterloo Place, 23–27 Waterloo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3BH
Competing with hundreds of bars and eateries, it’s a hard-knock life for hotel restaurants in Edinburgh. Elliot’s, part of the Apex chain’s Waterloo Place hotel, does its best to keep guests in and even tempt the locals along with some smart deals…
MP's Bistro
Parliament House Hotel, 15 Calton Hill, Edinburgh, EH1 3BJ
MP’s Bistro, the restaurant of the Parliament House Hotel, is a contemporary Edinburgh dining spot with a long history. The amalgamation of Jacobean and Georgian properties, the hotel is packed with Scottish charm, close to the many sights of Edinburgh…
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…
Negociants
45–47 Lothian Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1HB
Negociants celebrates its twentieth anniversary this year as one of the most popular bars among Edinburgh’s student population. Year-round the place bustles, particularly at weekends, while the Edinburgh Festival brings a tourist clientele attracted by…
Hotel du Vin
11 Bristo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 1EZ
Fact: eating out is way nicer than eating in. Or at least it is when the people who bring your food and pour your drinks are really, really lovely. This is well understood in Hotel du Vin, where the service is full of personality and pretty much…
Restaurant Mark Greenaway at No 12 Picardy Place
12 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3JT
Mark Greenaway’s take on dining is unashamedly modern. With deconstructed creations, foams, smokes and multi-ingredient theatrics aplenty, this is a sophisticated, highly confident offering. A starter of Loch Fyne crab cannelloni is a good introduction…
Voodoo Rooms The Voodoo Rooms
19a West Register Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2AA
While the food may not claim as much focus as the music, events and super-smashing cocktail list in the sexy, sultry and edgy Voodoo Rooms, it's more than just an afterthought. Tucked beside the main bar, a small, black linen and leather restaurant…
The Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RH
Situated below street level, this bar looks like the sort of place American sitcom characters would head for after a hard day’s mirth-making, thanks to the obligatory neon sign, mustard-coloured walls and staff dressed in Hawaiian shirts. It could be…
Mums Great Comfort Food
4a Forrest Road, Edinburgh, EH1 2QN
Whoever the mysterious Mum was, she clearly had no time for airs and graces. Mum’s is the original Monster Mash from back in 2003, but this incarnation appeared in 2010 and has been keeping the army of dedicated fans full of robust, no-nonsense cooking…
Urban Angel
1 Forth Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3JX
Seasonal, local and organic are the buzz words for these bright, informal, modern bistros. A high proportion of the menu is made up of daily specials making the most of what produce is best that day. A nourishing parsnip soup is enlivened with mustard…
Smoke Stack
53–55 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RJ
A meat-lovers’ mecca since 1996, Smoke Stack reinforces its menu’s focus on beef with its spartan interior, the deep-crimson walls visually echoing the shade of a quiveringly rare fillet steak. While there are salads, fajitas and a few vegetarian…
Forth Floor Brasserie
Harvey Nichols, 30–34 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH2 2AD
Refurbished in early 2012, this place looks smart and modern, with the use of wood and leather softening the metals and glass in the bright, open space. A new seafood bar is an attractive addition, and a screen has been erected between the brasserie and…
Olive Branch Bistro
91 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RX
Broughton Street has long been a hot spot for eating and drinking in the city, and this corner dining room is a tremendously popular example. Open for breakfast through to dinner, the usual suspects are served throughout the day before the real event…
Cafe Hub
Castlehill, Royal Mile, Edinburgh, EH1 2NE
Glowering imposingly from the very top of the High Street, the black Gothic splendour of the Hub was transformed when it became the official home of the Edinburgh International Festival, with a now entirely contemporary interior which glows with colour…
