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…
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…
Enjoy
393-395 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The words 'COFFEE', 'FOOD' and 'DRINK' stretch across the floor-to-ceiling windows of this new café on Great Western Road, boldly, if unsurprisingly, summing up what is on offer inside. The handsome, understated interior is decorated in muted shades of…
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…
Fair Trade Coffee Shop
30-31 Albert Place, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HN
Another newcomer on the Leith café scene, the double-fronted Fair Trade Coffee Shop has pitched itself just right. It serves up hot breakfast rolls to hungry workers on their way to the office and a wide range of sandwiches and baked potatoes to the…
Favorit
19-20 Teviot Place, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
This anachronistic mix of American diner, European café and UK style bar is not easy to categorise. Open early enough for breakfast with tempting continental fare, it whizzes through its lunch incarnation offering panini, sandwiches and hot dishes, to…
Fed & Watered
29 Grassmarket, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HS
Fed & Watered would struggle to go wrong in the heart of the Grassmarket, one of Edinburgh's busiest streets. But rather than relying on its location to do the hard work, it strives to go one better than the average café, offering choice ingredients and…
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…
Fressh
51-53 Cochrane Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HL
Fressh is just full of exclamation marks: bright orange menus on the walls veritably burst with excitable blends of juices, designed to revitalise the office workers of the city. The pared-down monochrome décor with white-painted floor is rather cool…
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…
Gaia Delicatessan
32 Crighton Place, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
Eh7 4NY
A recent addition to Leith Walk's growing selection of pizzerias, cafés and delicatessans, Gaia Delicatessan is doing its best to bring fresh, delicious flavours to the local residents and office workers it serves. A spacious takeaway with room for a…
Gallery Café
Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, 75 Belford Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DR
Despite being slightly off the beaten track, the Gallery Café is a constant hive of activity. For many, the café is attraction enough - the modern art which surrounds it merely an added bonus. Midweek, you'll find friends chatting over a healthy lunch…
Glass & Thompson
2 Dundas Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6HZ
Edinburgh cafés seem to come and go with alarming speed, so it is refreshing to see this New Town institution thriving as it enters its 12th year. An atmosphere of calm pervades, despite the near-constant stream of people in search of a quick and tasty…
Go Slow Café
452 Victoria Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 8YU
Just as the name suggests, there is a very chilled-out vibe in this little Southside café. Think hippie trail stop-off spots in Goa, Phuket, or Zipolite - vibrant orange walls with bright paper garlands, fairy-lights strung across plants and cacti, and…
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…
Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
It could be the location in the heart of the West End or the heart and soul that goes into the food produced in Fiona Buchanan's bustling deli-café that gave rise to the name for this gastronomic emporium. The interior has a rustic authenticity, with…
Herald Café Bar
Mitchell Library, North Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7DN
The first phase of Mitchell Library redevelopment has introduced 'Leisure and Lifestyle at the Mitchell'. Included in that is a lending library to complement the long-time non-circulating collection. As well, a smart, open and airy café bar has been…
Herbie of Edinburgh
1 North West Circus Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6ST
Opened in December 2006, Herbie of Edinburgh is owned by the same people who run a takeaway in the West End and gourmet deli in Stockbridge that go by the same name. The latter is a tiny, foodie paradise and the intention here is to bring the same focus…
Het Theatercafe
Dundee Rep Theatre, Tay Square,
Dundee,
DD1 1PB
Scotland
Based in the Rep theatre, the Het Theatercafe is a highly popular place to snaffle everything from coffee and a sandwich to much more substantial restaurant dishes. A versatile international menu is served up at lunchtimes and evenings and the…
Ikafe
138 Nithsdale Road, Pollokshields, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB
Ikafe is a fine-looking place. Awnings stretch out from the big, glass frontage that complements the upmarket shops sharing this pretty strip of Nithsdale Road. Inside, there is an elegant aesthetic, with pale wooden tables and leather chairs clustered…
Italmania
180-184 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8HA
Taking one corner of Glasgow's busiest crossroad, with competition on all sides from multinational fast food joints, this funky little restaurant offers fresh ingredients in cool surroundings, making it a particularly welcoming spot. Above the entrance…
Jamesfield Organic Centre
Jamesfield Farm,
Abernethy,
Perthshire,
KY14 6EW
Food with an organic label must now be available in almost every Scottish supermarket, but that epithet brings no guarantee that the product has been locally produced. If you long for sustainable food that hasn't travelled hundreds of miles to your…
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…
