Always Sunday
170 High Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QS
Amid the tourist traps of the Royal Mile, there are a few places where the locals really like to go. Always Sunday is one of them. A bustling café, it offers a wide range of breakfast choices and freshly-prepared lunches that are both practical and feel…
Café Renroc
91 Montgomery Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HZ
In the year since it opened, Renroc has quickly established itself as a reliable and busy neighbourhood café - so much so that enthusiastic owners Billy and Jane Ross have implemented a rapid and ambitious extension programme, due for completion early…
Café Sejuiced
71 Hanson Street, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 2HF
This family-run café is all about wholesome, organic produce presented in a variety of healthy ways at surprisingly reasonable prices. The bright and airy café in the Wasps Factory building is surrounded by artists' studios, with tables scattered across…
Café Truva
77 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RG
In a quiet corner of the Shore, right at the end of the Water of Leith, sits Café Truva, offering a tempting taste of the Mediterranean. With its regular local clientele and relaxed, welcoming atmosphere, this place has found a winning formula and is…
Centotre
103 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
So committed are Victor and Carina Contini to creating the fresh, authentic food that is ubiquitous in Italy, they ship the majority of their produce from Milan each week. And not from just any supplier - they make it a point to get to know the…
circle
1 Brandon Terrace, Canonmills,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AE
There's no doubting the solidity of the circle experience. From the moment you walk in it surrounds you - walls hewn from stone, polished flags beneath your feet. It's a long, thin space with high ceilings and a tall window at the end that makes a…
Dionika
3-6 Canonmills Bridge, Canonmills, Inverleith,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5LF
A shabby façade and distinct lack of adornments might put some diners off Dionika restaurant and deli, but if you're after substance rather than style, you'll discover that what this rough diamond lacks in fancy trappings, it makes up for in taste.
Eat
16 Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside,
Glasgow,
G76 7BG
Locals would be mad to trade the fresh, restaurant-quality ready meals at Eat deli (not to mention the cakes, organic goods, wines and overall ethos) for anything on offer at the new mini-supermarket chain at Clarkston. Anticipating some loss of custom…
The Engine Shed Cafe
19 St Leonard's Lane, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
In 1989, a disused shed from the Innocents Railway was turned into what is now the Garvald-run Engine Shed - a spacious, airy building with a friendly, community atmosphere, home to a number of initiatives that provide training and work for adults with…
The Fruitmarket Gallery Café
Fruitmarket Gallery, 45 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DF
The exhibitions that grace the Fruitmarket Gallery walls suggest a desire to push boundaries, and the chefs in the café kitchen seem to have similar ambitions. The menu, which changes to reflect the season and its produce, is put together with creative…
Grassroots Café
93-97 St Georges Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
With little separating guests from cooks, Grassroots rather resembles a farmhouse kitchen, where the chefs dart back and forth at the range in one corner while aromatic smells drift towards diners. Flagstone floors and wooden furniture add to the rustic…
Jaspers Coffee & Juice Bar
1 Grove Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AF
It would be easy to overlook this unassuming café, hidden down a side street off the main Haymarket drag, but keep your eyes peeled as this little wonder is definitely worth seeking out. Jaspers may be small, but its friendly staff produce a range of…
Kember & Jones
134 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TD
If you set out to create the epitome of an upscale neighbourhood café, you would hopefully arrive at something like Kember & Jones. Exposed 'Tribeca'-style brick walls, clusters of wooden tables and chairs on an elegant mezzanine, a deli counter crammed…
Lily's
103 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1DX
Airy, spotless and tastefully garnished with decorations (including real lilies), Lily's fuses upmarket café with contemporary Chinese bistro. It's a genuine one-off, created by owner Lily Sung in an attempt, perhaps, to offer Merchant City folk…
Made in France
5 Lochrin Place, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QX
There is something irresistibly romantic about the French eating experience, and this gem of a café certainly lives up to that reputation. The sense that you're somewhere authentic is with you the minute you step through the door. Enter to the sounds of…
The Manna House
22-24 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RG
'Yummy' doesn't begin to do justice to the amazing food on offer at this beloved little bakery/café. Nestled among the less auspicious takeaways and boozers of Easter Road is a haven of culinary perfection. Owned by Martin Wilson, Andrew Massey and…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive, West End,
Glasgow,
G20 8NZ
Scotland
North Star, inconspicuously lodged in a row of shops on Queen Margaret Drive, does not seem to shine as brightly as its name would suggest, but closer inspection of the interior reveals a different story: the distinctly bohemian space is the perfect…
Queen Street Café
The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 1 Queen Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JD
Full tables and an almost constant queue at the counter are testament to this café's popularity. Visitors to the Scottish National Portrait Gallery itself, nearby workers and escapees from the bustle of Princes Street all seek haven in this impressive…
Sadivino
52 West Richmond Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
When you receive a plate of food that's breathtakingly simple, yet bursting with flavour, you know you're on to something good. Add stunningly low prices and it becomes truly unique. You may have to nudge up your neighbour, continental-style, to fit in…
Spoon
15 Blackfriars Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1NB
Although the name may evoke an image of artery-clogging 'greasy spoons', Spoon is anything but. Serving fresh, taste bud-friendly meals for the past five years, owners Richard Alexander and Moira McFarlane create top-quality dishes from great…
Sprio & Co
39 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AB
It's hard to believe, but in 2006 Marcello Sprio, his friend Antonio and both their families, went for a lifestyle change by moving from Milan to Edinburgh. They left behind 'four million cars and mosquitoes', and we are the beneficiaries for they…
The Storytelling Café
Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43 High Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Situated in the revamped Scottish Storytelling Centre, this well-appointed café holds more than a few surprises. The relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere belies the mastery at work on the menu. The headings may say salad and sandwiches, but the food on…
Tapa Coffee & Bakehouse
21 Whitehill Street, Dennistoun, East End,
Glasgow,
G31 2LH
Set just off Duke Street in Dennistoun, Tapa combines a bakery with a cheerful café serving wholesome, natural food and specially sourced coffees (roasted on site). The bakehouse has built up a reputation for its artisan breads, which include a…
Tinderbox/Merchant City
14 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1EJ
Bearing the same name as its iconic Byres Road sibling but with a clearly distinct identity, the new Merchant City Tinderbox is a multi-use affair with licensed café, shop and performance venue all under one roof. The celebrated design consultancy…
Toast
146 Marchmont Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1AQ
This super-friendly neighbourhood restaurant is the sort of thing you wish was round the corner from your house. Full of fresh organic produce and keen to deliver a tempting menu at all hours, Toast is worth a small detour, if not a house swap, to…
