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…
Bigos
277 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
With its honest home-cooking, Bigos, the capital's first Polish restaurant, has set the bar high for any competition. Brothers Tadeusz and Dariusz Krzysiak named the place after their national dish (a stew of sauerkraut, meat and mushrooms), and, with…
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…
The Blue Parrot Cantina
49 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AH
There can't be many better-hidden eating places in Edinburgh; you could probably live around these parts for years without having any idea that this basement hideaway offers a warm and cosy environment where an unfussy range of spiced dishes are…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
Although hidden in a side street in something of a Southside dining no man's land, this little restaurant does a roaring trade from lunchtime till late. Bonsai's owners, Andrew and Noriko Ramage, offer a wide range of authentic Japanese dishes at very…
Brazilian Sensation
117-119 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Brazilian Sensation may be of modest size with a laid-back café ambience, but it's a place of unique culinary delights. The lunch menu features a wide selection of hot snacks, organic rolls and baguettes at bargain prices, as well as some invigorating…
Buffalo Grill
12-14 Chapel Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
The Wild West meets the east coast as the Buffalo Grill brings native Americans - a popular image on cigarette paraphernalia, which forms part of the decoration - up close with Edinburgh diners. In the Southside branch, the chow house rings with lively…
Buffalo Grill
1 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
The Wild West meets the east coast as the Buffalo Grill brings native Americans - a popular image on cigarette paraphernalia, which forms part of the decoration - up close with Edinburgh diners. In the Southside branch, the chow house rings with lively…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
It's impossible to miss Chop Chop's bright yellow and red façade, and the décor inside is equally vibrant. The practical tables, paper napkins and simple Chinese art are subtle hints that perhaps the food is this venue's major draw. Guidance notes on…
Coconut Grove
3 Lochrin Terrace, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QJ
Two things strike you on entering the small, but perfectly formed Coconut Grove. First and most obvious is the pungent, tasty smell emanating from the kitchen; the second, less in your face, thing is the relaxed vibe. This place has built its reputation…
Coyaba
113 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
What better way to blot out a dreich Edinburgh evening than a sojourn to Scotland's first Jamaican restaurant? The bright décor, reggae soundtrack and well-stocked bar with its enticing cocktail selection are easily evocative of paradise, while, for…
La Cuchara Negra
3 Grove Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AF
La Cuchara Negra (the black spoon) has been something of a work in progress since it opened in spring 2006, and with lunchtime trading planned for mid-2007, this tiny Latin American restaurant is showing it has a big heart. There's no trace of a tacky…
Empires
24 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SU
It's hard to define Empires, a Turkish café-cum-ceramic shop, but this quirky, chaotic little place has an exotic charm all of its own. Downstairs, an eclectic mix of artworks, wall-hangings, ceramics and trinkets bathe in the glow of colourful…
Fenwicks
15 Salisbury Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1SL
Enthusiastic new owners hope to spruce up this well-loved Southside establishment, which has been around for over a decade. There's not a lot of high-quality competition in the area, so regulars will be happy to know that, although a few teething…
The Forest
3 Bristo Place, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EY
As bland identikit bars and bistros proliferate around the capital, it's a comfort to know there are still a few scruffy, independent and idiosyncratic hang-outs like The Forest left in town. A self-funded artists' collective with a relaxed café run by…
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant
105-109 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH13 9AN
Great Wall's substantial frontage has been a feature of Lothian Road for the best part of two decades now. Its location in the heart of a busy area dominated by pubs and clubs is a double-edged sword - it's a popular choice for hungry revellers, but…
Hanam's
13a Brougham Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
A relatively recent addition to Edinburgh's culinary map, Hanam's already commands a loyal following, thanks to proprietor Jamal Ahmed, who works hard to create an authentic Kurdish dining experience. While this extends to dressing in Kurdish costume…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
The first thing you see when you step inside this delightful authentic Turkish restaurant is the grinning face of owner and chef Gursel Bahar in his open kitchen, radiating confidence throughout this tight little operation. A handful of tables are…
Howies
208 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DH
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Howies
10-14 Victoria Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HG
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Howies at Waterloo
29 Waterloo Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3BQ
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Howies West End
1a Alva Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PH
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
With its floor-to-ceiling glass frontage onto Lothian Road, and its minimalist interior décor, Izzi has a cool atmosphere that is a little intimidating at first. However, once you're seated by brisk, friendly staff who are happy to explain the somewhat…
Jacques
8 Gillespie Place, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HS
Airs and graces and über-styled interiors are all well and good, but you've got to be in the mood for fuss. What every neighbourhood needs is a solid local bistro in which to shake off the working week and, leaving the glitz to the King's Theatre just a…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32 Grindlay Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Jasmine is a little piece of China reconstructed in the heart of Scotland's capital. While some Chinese restaurants have adapted their style to integrate into the local market, this cosy gem, established in the shadow of the Usher Hall for a decade now…
