Xanadu Chinese Restaurant
13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank, Edinburgh, EH7 5TP
Husband and wife team Colin and Irene Chiu run this friendly neighbourhood restaurant perched just off the main road through Meadowbank. Named after an emperor’s summer palace, Xanadu’s own decor is simple and functional with Chinese scenes on the pale…
Rivage
126–130 Easter Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5RJ
Owner and head chef Ryad Meeajane oversees this stylish Easter Road restaurant from behind the open tandoor oven counter while wife and co-owner Catherine runs an efficient and informative front of house. Attention to detail stretches from preparation…
Tanjore
6–8 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9HX
Relative newcomer Tanjore brings a wealth of south Indian cuisine to its Newington locale, wrapped up in a friendly and relaxed café setting. Owner and head chef Boon Ganeshram switches between open kitchen and compact dining area, describing tapas…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get a…
Kim's Korean Meals
5 Buccleuch Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9JN
Kim’s serves simple wholesome Korean meals just as Mrs Kim would prepare for her own family, with jaunty décor, tiny dimensions and ornate floral chinaware adding to the homely atmosphere. A helpful little photo album explains each dish in full colour.
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9BX
In the mini Middle Eastern pocket growing around Edinburgh's Mosque, which began with Kebab Mahal and Jordan Valley and continues with the newly added Mosque Kitchen and Nawroz, Beirut adds Lebanese food to the mix. Owner Ahmed Saadi opened in 2010, and…
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…
Howies at Waterloo
29 Waterloo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3BQ
While things below the waterline have been a bit frantic since the original owners bought back Edinburgh’s two remaining Howies in late 2011, above the surface everything is typically calm. The Waterloo Place restaurant is a stylishly decorated, well…
Nawroz
26–30 Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9BT
Nawroz is the new kid on the exotic block of mainly Middle Eastern eateries surrounding Edinburgh Central Mosque. Run by four close friends who pride themselves on offering authentic Kurdish and Middle Eastern cuisine, it is still finding its feet, but…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PY
Ebullient head chef and owner Gursel Bahar orchestrates operations in busy, bustling Hanedan, whirling between tending meat on the grill and whipping away meze plates from delighted diners. Bahar has been turning out Turkish favourites to a loyal…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BS
Forget Ikea: this is where you’ll find the best meatballs in town. They're more of a hearty sausage shape than a ball here: get them cut up in pasta or squeezed into a ciabatta for a chin-dripping panini – but whatever you do, get them. With just a…
Hong Fu Noodle
3–7 Waterloo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3BG
Owner Jing Si promises real Chinese cooking at Hong Fu Noodle Bar. The recently revamped menu has some genuinely unusual dishes, with Szechuan and Northern Chinese influences predominating. Gone are the ubiquitous prawn toast and chow mein, to be…
Viva Mexico
41 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1BS
In existence for 28 years, Viva Mexico – run by the Gonzalez family – is the grand-daddy of Edinburgh’s Mexican restaurants. Inside, kitsch abounds with pictures of hirsute horsemen and Mexican puppet dolls staring down from the walls. There are plenty…
Frankfurter Eck
62 Elm Row, Edinburgh, EH7 4AQ
German food can suffer from people's unfair preconceptions. Seek out Edinburgh’s first German restaurant, Frankfurter Eck to have these prejudices overturned. Behind a blink-and-you’ll miss it frontage on an unlikely block is a basic interior with…
Steak
12 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3JT
Steak is one of a new wave of Edinburgh steakhouses influenced by the likes of London’s much-lauded Hawksmoor. It’s aiming for hi-octane glamour that would be more at home in the Meatpacking district in New York City, but Edinburgh could do with a dose…
Phuket Pavilion
8 Union Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3LU
Veteran restaurateur Bill Parkinson has been in the business for 46 years and it shows. Service is a speciality: he wants people to relax while they eat. If you’re enjoying his pre-theatre menu before heading across the road to the Playhouse you might…
Word of Mouth
3a Albert Street, Edinburgh, EH7 5HL
It’s only five years old, but already Word of Mouth is one of Edinburgh’s definitive neighbourhood cafés, a recommended stop not just for the food but for the range of activities they manage to cram into the small dining space. An open mic poetry and…
Howies (Victoria Street)
10–14 Victoria Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2HG
Long time favourite on the Edinburgh dining scene, the Howies Restaurants group has waxed and waned over the years. Now operating from two locations, their Victoria Street operation, close by the Royal Mile, is well placed for tourists and locals alike.
Hanam's
3 Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2PW
Hanam’s is rightly revered for its Kurdish cooking. The restaurant is spread over two floors of a characterful period building, including a terrace that’s – unsurprisingly – in demand on summer days and a separate dining room that's ideal for private…
Origano
277 Leith Walk, Edinburgh, EH6 8PD
Leith Walk is rich with Italian restaurants vying for a share of the passing custom in this busy part of town, so it was a brave move of Simon Fletcher and Dominik Blicharski to open Origano on a shoestring in mid-2011. The pair are aiming to bring a…
Broughton Delicatessen
7 Barony Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6PD
It’s rare for a café to try so hard to be all things to all people and not overstretch itself. Broughton Delicatessen doesn’t disappoint, though, with its front shop selling take-out snacks like baguettes, grilled sandwiches and crepes alongside cakes…
L'escargot Bleu L'escargot Bleu
56 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3SA
The justly popular L’escargot Bleu generates an air of welcome as you enter the bright, airy rooms one flight up on Broughton Street. The buzz feels embracing rather than exclusive, as much coming from the patrons as the proprietors. Co-owners Betty…
Sweet Melindas
11 Roseneath Street, Edinburgh, EH9 1JH
Sweet Melindas is the very definition of cosy neighbourhood hangout. The one-room Marchmont restaurant’s white-painted wooden panelling, found black-and-white photographs and shelves of assorted bric-a-brac lend it a quaint but pleasant ambience, and…
The Pastures
24 Marchmont Crescent, Edinburgh, EH9 1HG
Sequestered among the tenements of Marchmont, this new small-scale venture is a local gem, serving homely comfort food in a bright and cheery setting at a tariff well suited to threadbare student pockets. They don’t back off on quality, though: poached…
The New York Steam Packet
31 Rose Street Lane North, Edinburgh, EH2 2NP
There’s probably some money to made by standing on Rose Street and directing lost diners to this almost invisible restaurant, hidden down an alley and then up a steep spiral staircase. It feels more like a treehouse than a restaurant and the boisterous…
