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 Engine Shed Cafe
19 St Leonard's Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
The Engine Shed has the delicious privilege of taking ethical business to a higher, smarter level. It was founded on a principle of truly equal opportunities by employing trainees with learning difficulties, but the quality of the food is even better…
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…
Espresso Mondo / E Mondo
116 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BE
Views out to hectic Tollcross, where buses and ATMs decorate the landscape, may not compare favourably with a panoramic view over the New Town, but the location of Espresso Mondo is no less interesting. Grab a table by one of the impressive windows for…
Fair Trade Coffee Shop
30–31 Albert Place,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HN
With its leather chairs, simple coffee tables, bookshelf of battered paperbacks and poster-covered walls, this Leith Walk café is the epitome of shabby chic. But there's nothing shabby about the food or service. All-day cooked breakfasts are popular and…
Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…
Fifi and Ally
51–52 Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Spawned from the success of the original Princes Square emporium/café, the new Fifi and Ally sits squarely in the city's financial district, so polished even in its early days that it seems to have sprung up fully formed. The design-led monochromatic…
Fifi and Ally
80 Wellington Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6UA
Spawned from the success of the original Princes Square emporium/café, the new Fifi and Ally sits squarely in the city's financial district, so polished even in its early days that it seems to have sprung up fully formed. The design-led monochromatic…
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…
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,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DF
Many who regularly drop into this contemporary gallery housed in an old Victorian fruit and vegetable market don't make it past the ground floor café, such is the singular draw of the food. With a dedication to fresh produce and menu choices, lunch can…
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,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DR
Just as the galleries upstairs follow trends in contemporary art, the café capitalises on the current inclination towards fair trade, organic and seasonal ingredients, treating diners to a selection of wholesome, appetising and downright tasty meals.
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…
Glass & Thompson
2 Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6HZ
Glass & Thompson's regulars were doubtless unsurprised to find their favoured haunt nominated for Most Stylish Café at the 2007 Scotland with Style awards. With its gleaming wood floor, muted silver tables and sedate lighting it easily deserves such an…
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…
Grand Cru
79 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EE
Tired shoppers, students and office workers have been coming regularly to Grand Cru for wine or cocktails for the best part of a decade. The interior of the busy bar recently underwent a thorough sprucing up, with the addition of comfy sofa booths as…
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…
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…
GSC Café
50 Pacific Quay,
Glasgow,
G51 1EA
Seemingly lifting itself out of the Clyde like a great silver-scaled beast, Glasgow Science Centre is a child's wonderland of levers and buttons and things that whirr and ping. The near-constant clatter and wail of kids learning and having fun can make…
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…
Heart Buchanan
380 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8AR
Since opening seven years ago, this shop has become a food lover's Mecca, complete with impressive assistants who truly know their stuff. Office workers looking to find their evening's sustenance flock to the deli counter, which holds the day's…
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…
