Agenda
92 St John's Road, Corstorphine,
Edinburgh,
EH12 8AT
After going through a pretty major overhaul last year from smoky pub to boutique hotel and restaurant, Agenda is currently undergoing a further, smaller revolution. The funky, retro-modernist stylings are all still in place, with burnt citrus fabrics…
The Apartment
7-13 Barclay Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HW
Mellow strains of funky jazz, seductively comfortable Philippe Starck leather chairs and soft, moody lighting make this neighbourhood restaurant between Tollcross and Bruntsfield a stylish, yet incredibly relaxed, hangout. The menu encourages diners to…
Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
Tucked into a quiet street in Tollcross behind the King's Theatre, this cosy little restaurant decorated with old movie posters is a popular choice with theatre and cinema-goers. Casablanca-born chef Hamouda el-Qmache and his wife Karla took over in…
The Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill
167 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4LS
There's something of the faded opulence of a Bourbon Street blues bar about the Bad Ass, which isn't inappropriate when you consider its position on Edinburgh's famously pub-heavy Rose Street. It's far from being a rowdy place though - more like a…
The Basement
10a-12a Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
The loud, funky music and equally loud Hawaiian shirts sported by the staff in this subterranean bar and bistro give an early indication of the casual, fun philosophy behind it. Despite an extension of the dining area early last year, the tightly-packed…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
A relative newcomer on a street better known for its B&Bs than its haute cuisine, Bijou cuts quite a dash. The interior is cheerfully informal, and feels more like the front room of a relatively well-to-do friend than a restaurant. Fairy lights are…
Bisque Bar Brasserie
Bruntsfield Hotel, 69 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HH
A replacement for the Bruntsfield Hotel's former dining operations, the King's Bar and Cardoon - which has now become a private function room - Bisque is a modern bar-brasserie that's open from morning right through to late evening. The L-shaped room…
Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
This neighbourhood restaurant is deservedly popular and has a welcoming and homely feel. The dining room is simply furnished with light furniture and wooden floors, and has a relaxed ambience which acts as the perfect backdrop to the carefully prepared…
blue bar café
10 Cambridge Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Sharing a building with its big sister restaurant Atrium and the Traverse Theatre, blue bar café has the same innovative edge as both its neighbours. Having just undergone a makeover - opting for earthy tones in its décor - this place celebrates nature…
Blue Moon Cafe
36 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
There's more to this gay hangout, which has been happily ensconced on bohemian Broughton Street since 1986, than meets the eye. Facing the street itself is a light, airy café - the sort of place you could (and many do) relax and read the papers for an…
Borough
72-80 Causewayside, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PY
Around ten minutes' walk south of the Royal Mile, the Borough Hotel bar and restaurant have stolen some style from the classic big city lobbies of London and New York. With a long galley bar and a multitude of leather three-seaters, you and your whisky…
Browns Restaurant and Bar
131-133 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JS
The Edinburgh branch of Browns has the colonial air that the chain is renowned for, with its neutral decor enlivened by a splash of green from the palms scattered around the room. The place has a light, airy and informal feel and caters to a well-heeled…
Café Grande
184 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
This café, bistro and bar has been bringing a touch of ooh-la-la to Bruntsfield for more than two decades. Although the French café-style wooden tables and chairs are now a little rickety, it is showing no sign of becoming any less popular with locals…
Cafe Hub
Castlehill, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Despite its austere, gothic exterior, the Hub has a disarmingly warm and brightly coloured interior - the glass doors open upon a large, high-ceilinged hall with pale wooden flooring, bright yellow walls and deep blue chairs. This former church is now…
Centraal
32 West Nicholson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DD
West Nicolson Street is probably the classic student haunt of Edinburgh with its grungy but independent-minded array of shops, sandwich bars, pubs and cheaper eateries. Centraal bar and restaurant tucks itself away at the bottom of a steep staircase…
Circus Wine Bar & Grill
58a North Castle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LU
Towards the end of 2006, November Leisure's various dining ventures saw a significant shake-up. Around the same time, Circus Café in Stockbridge ceased trading while fine dining restaurant Cosmo closed its doors, only to reopen a few weeks later as the…
The Courtyard
2 Bonnington Road Lane, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 5BJ
It's tucked away in what appears to be a predominantly residential neighbourhood, and the secret of the Courtyard's success isn't obvious at first glance. However, there are two factors weighing heavily in its favour - first, a clutch of office…
Cruz
The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
After a £1m cash injection, the former ferry-boat docked on Leith's Shore reopened in December 2006 as a floating piano bar and restaurant. Owner Matthew Tabatabaie has opted for a sleek, shiny interior. Round leather booths sit beneath portholes in the…
Daniel's Bistro
88 Commercial Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Make sure you're really hungry before booking at a table at this temple to robust French cooking tucked into one of Leith's converted warehouses close to the Shore. Owner Daniel Vencker hails from Alsace, and this is the place to come to experience…
Diner 7
7 Commercial Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
Like a shined up greasy spoon, this chummy, cheerful Leith diner strikes an excellent balance between laid-back café style and smart restaurant food. And it's very cheap for what it is too. It's set on the strip of restaurants just over the road from…
The Dome Grill Room
14 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PF
Just a few metres from St Andrews Square, six grand columns mark your entry into one of George Street's most impressive venues and its stateliest converted banking hall. It's all about opulence inside, the enormous glistening chandelier at the entrance…
The Doric Tavern
15/16 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
Housed in a property built between 1710 and 1742, the Doric Tavern bistro rests opposite the Fruitmarket Gallery and the side entrance to Waverley Station. Although the food isn't what draws everyone in, it is worth climbing the creaking stairs from…
Double Dutch
27-29 Marshall Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BJ
Just a hop, skip and a jump from George Square or a short walk from the Festival Theatre, this sunny Southside café-bistro, with its light wood furniture and pale sanded floors will appeal to hungry students or those looking for a good value lunch or…
Embark
2 Fountainbridge Square, Edinburgh Quay, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QB
The latest eatery to dock at Edinburgh Quay is as sleek and shiny as a luxury liner and caters mostly for hip young professionals from the surrounding business district. There's a relaxed bar menu on offer downstairs, but, for more serious dining, climb…
Espresso Mondo / E Mondo
116 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BE
There is a dearth of Edinburgh venues that combine food, alcohol, coffee and sofas past 7pm. This bistro-style café/bar steps up to fill a niche by morphing from its daytime incarnation of Espresso Mondo into E Mondo, which offers relaxed dining up…
