Brazilian Sensation
117–119 Buccleuch Street,
Edinburgh, EH8 9NG
With an emphasis on good cuisine and familial service, Brazilian Sensation has long set its stall on hearty home-cooked portions and enough originality to appeal to even the most adventurous palette. A well-run family enterprise headed by John and Lucia…
Empires
24 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh, EH1 1SU
Colourful, cluttered and slightly chaotic, Empires is richly decorated with ornate wooden panelling, hand-painted ceramics and cascades of mosaic lanterns twinkling overhead. By day it is bright and cheery, offering healthy lunches and herbal teas, but…
The Forest
3 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh, EH1 1EY
Rather like Doctor Who's Tardis, The Forest café's exterior gives no hint of the space to be found within. The large back room is a real jumble, full of comfy sofas, mismatched tables and chairs, and a worn game of Pictionary perching haphazardly atop a…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street,
Glasgow, G2 4RU
At WTMS, street-smart staff behind the counter cheerfully take orders from office-workers, students and the assorted hipsters who descend the steps to this basement café with comfy mismatched sofas. Inked on a giant whiteboard, the epic menu offers a…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road,
Glasgow, G4 9HY
The long-established Bay Tree likes to keep things fairly simple, with its unassuming layout and Middle Eastern knick-knacks around the walls. The same goes for its menu, which comprises a mixture of Arabian, Mediterranean and European dishes at…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh, EH1 1BS
The Valvona & Crolla dynasty just goes from strength to strength. In this modern diner-style café Marina Crolla offers the best of home-cooked Italian food. Be it panini, risotto or one of the fabulous pastas, you can eat in or takeaway with style.
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road,
Glasgow, G4 9HY
The pavements of the Great Western Road see more striders than strollers. So competing cafés often need something extra to get bums on seats. For Enjoy, the selling point is the real food ethos of its Kosovan owners, Sebo and Manuella Brestovca. There…
Grassroots Café
93–97 St Georges Road,
Glasgow, G3 6JA
This café/restaurant is worth a small diversion off the well-beaten track of Woodlands Road; its creative menu (with blackboard specials, too) and relaxed atmosphere are of a higher calibre than the usual vegetarian operation. Purple curtains divide…
Valvona & Crolla Caffè Bar
19 Elm Row, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh, EH7 4AA
The Valvona & Crolla imprimatur remains definitive of all things excellent in food and wine, with a renown that draws visitors from far beyond the Edinburgh foodie scene. Behind the narrow shop front at the top of Elm Row, the deli's towering shelves…
91 Montgomery Street,
Edinburgh, EH7 5HZ
Walking into Renroc is a warming experience: enthusiasm permeates the place and a friendly welcome is quickly followed by personalised service. The area upstairs is stylish and airy, while the bistro-style basement is warm and sleepily lit, and a real…
CCA Bar and Café
350 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow, G2 3JD
The Centre for Contemporary Arts, a cultural oasis amid Sauchiehall Street's noisy parade of bars and clubs, is the place to come if you're after a coffee or a meal without selling out to The Man – the café uses fair trade and organic produce wherever…
Café Sejuiced
77 Hanson Street,
Glasgow, G31 2HF
In a gloriously airy and open space on the ground floor of the WASPS studio building, in-house artists rub shoulders with workers from local businesses or Royal Infirmary employees over excellent breakfasts, lunches and snacks at this gem of a café. The…
Grianach
38 Nithsdale Road, Strathbungo,
Glasgow, G41 2AN
Grianach means 'sunny' in Gaelic and the theme carries through this neighbourhood café, from the seasonal affective disorder light therapy boxes on each table to the summery pop on the stereo. The menu offers soups, sandwiches, baked potatoes, salads…
University Café
87 Byres Road,
Glasgow, G11 5HN
Visiting the University Café is like free-falling back to childhood seaside holidays, where the whole experience is simultaneously comforting and exotic. Dark wooden panelling and flock wallpaper surround the pink formica tables and red vinyl seats. A…
Vienna Café
59 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow, G11 5PS
Hyndland Street is an up-and-coming area for fresh and interesting flavours, with a cluster of delicatessens and cafés anchored around a bi-monthly farmers' market. Vienna, from the team behind the neighbouring Polish Taste deli, provided further…
Bistro Saint Germain
71 Nithsdale Street,
Glasgow, G41 2PY
This entirely French-run operation – featuring a deli packed with cheeses, pâtés and wines as well as a dinner menu of honest, home-made food – stakes a good claim to being the most Gallic few square metres of Glasgow. While some stereotypes are…
Black Cherry
29 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh, EH1 2HS
Tucked away where the Grassmarket gives way to the more hedonistic joys of the West Port, Black Cherry, with its low tables and small front-of-shop deli shelves, is something of a little gem. It's a friendly, family-run café whose owners seem intent on…
Go Slow Café
452 Victoria Road,
Glasgow, G42 8YU
Tucked between an amusement arcade and an optician, the Go Slow Café provides a peaceful oasis among the hurly-burly of Victoria Road. Ochre walls, day-glo artwork and a bulletin board (which wouldn't look out of place in a backpackers' hostel) help to…
Reds
254 High Street,
Edinburgh, EH15 2AT
For parents and toddlers there are many soft play areas with café facilities, but Reds goes one better, as a café with soft play facilities. Being able to eat without constant interruption is a luxury that is so far only available to Portobello parents…
Beanscene
1365 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow, G3 8AF
Scotland
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Remedy Delicatessen & Café
729–731 Pollokshaws Road,
Glasgow, G41 2AA
Since it opened in 2005, Remedy has gained a loyal following among Southsiders. Wooden floors and tables, pale green walls and handsome cornicing make for simple but pleasant décor, while exceptionally friendly staff and light jazz help create a relaxed…

16 Cresswell Lane, West End,
Glasgow, G12 8AA
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…

Lazy Lohan's
158 Canongate,
Edinburgh, EH8 8DD
Relatively new to the bistro scene in Edinburgh, Lazy Lohan's is already streets ahead of some of the city's more established haunts. This is a small operation in size and management, and owner and chef Tina Kenny sources the best seasonal Scottish…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive,
Glasgow, G20 8NZ
North Star has a decidedly open-door policy, sometimes more literally so than you might like. But this small café/shop is a beacon in the hinterland between Byres Road and Maryhill, welcoming those who need sustenance from early morning until late…
Tapa Coffee & Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun,
Glasgow, G31 2LH
Named after the South Pacific tapa cloth, which is 'hand-made using traditional methods', this artisanal bakery, café and coffee roasterie just off Duke Street in Dennistoun applies the same principles to its food. The ethos is clearly appreciated by a…
Beanscene
1-3 Helena Place, Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside,
Glasgow, G76 7RB
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road,
Glasgow, G4 9HT
From the outside, Café Cherubini resembles a local café from a European indie film in which bookish characters sip coffee in the windows, framed by gold lettering and drawings of chubby angels. Inside, the couple in charge are wholly genuine with an air…
Word of Mouth
3a Albert Street,
Edinburgh, EH7 5HL
Here is an unusual hybrid between a café and a restaurant. Open all day for breakfast, coffees and takeaway sandwiches, it also serves hot lunches and substantial dinners. The tables are packed tightly together, and a good sized corner of the room…
Beanscene
19 Skirving Street Shawlands, Southside,
Glasgow, G41 3AB
Scotland
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…

Sprio & Co
39 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh, EH3 5AB
Squeezed between two galleries in St Stephen Street, Marcello Sprio's Deli and Latteria catches the first lick of morning sunshine. He and partner Kathryn Macallister decided in 2006 that they'd had enough of noisy city life in Milan. The result is that…
Harlequin Café
30 Buccleuch Street,
Edinburgh, EH8 9LP
Tucked out of view underneath Pickering's Bookshop, Harlequin Café is a cheerful little haven of vegetarian delights. Step down into the colourful but tiny room and relax, for this is a world where chess sets and pencils are provided and the walls are…
S Luca
16 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh, EH10 4DB
S Luca's fame rests on the ice-cream rather than the lunches but at its Morningside café you can have both. Be warned though: the café is tucked away upstairs, and only a determined diner will make it past the array of sweeties, chocolates and ice-cream…
Robyn Rowles Photography Gallery Studio
23a Howe St,
Edinburgh, EH3 6TF
Below street level on Howe Street in the New Town hides Robyn Rowles Photography Gallery Studio and Café. Serving cooked breakfasts until 11am before moving on to lunch, seven days a week, the gallery attracts a varied clientele from local students to…
Café La Padella
124 Woodlands Road,
Glasgow, G3 6HB
A bright turquoise exterior is the first clue that Café La Padella is definitely not another corporate café. Idiosyncratic is the word that best describes this Mediterranean/Middle Eastern eatery, exemplifying, as it does, an 'original mix of…
Gizzi's
87 Cambridge Street,
Glasgow, G3 6RU
Previously known as Bistro du Sud but renovated and renamed Gizzi's in 2007, this bistro has a small, unassuming exterior and, inside, may be mistaken for a café with limited seating. There is more space upstairs, and the place would no doubt be full…
