50-60 King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
Scotland
Set on arty King Street, this laid-back hang-out has long provided wholesome vegetarian food to hungry indie rock fans - as live sets are played in the basement seven nights a week while hip music is a permanent backdrop in the bar/café. Diners…
Acanthus
1032 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8LX
Run by two sisters who also operate a florist from these premises, Acanthus has calming, cornflower blue walls and a homely atmosphere. A small seating area is successfully partitioned from the takeaway counter to form a tranquil space with a view of…
Allan Water Café
15 Henderson Street, Bridge of Allan,
Stirling,
FK9 4HN
Scotland
The spacious family-run Allan Water Café has a good homely feel and despite being in land-locked Bridge of Allan also has something of an all-day seaside café vibe. Floor to ceiling windows upstairs and down give excellent views of the to-ings and…
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…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
Serving inexpensive Italian classics, this city centre restaurant has an unexpectedly low-key and intimate atmosphere considering its location just off the bustling eastern end of Sauchiehall Street. The menu proudly recalls that the likes of Dean…
Arcaffe
11 North Claremont Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7NR
This restaurant, only open on weekdays, caters mainly to local professionals who are after an upscale lunch without having to make a trip into the city centre. The smart setting, proficient staff and well-presented dishes ensure that this is a handy…
Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
The Arts Café tries to be all things to all people, and more or less succeeds. For local workers, it's a reasonably-priced haven at lunchtime, both for sit-in and take-away. With tasty home-made soup and a roll coming in at under £2, and a plethora of…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
Beanscene
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…

The Beautiful Mountain
11-13 Belmont Street,
Aberdeen,
AB10 1JR
Scotland
With a takeaway downstairs and a tardis-like café serving a light and tasty menu upstairs, the Beautiful Mountain can cater for rushers and relaxers alike. Eggs benedict, vegetarian sausages and chickpea fritters are typical of food that has won several…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
It's not often that one establishment can cater for almost ever occasion, but Bella Napoli gives it a good shot. This family-run Southside favourite is fronted by a colourful, brightly-lit café and delicatessen - the latter selling an array of Italian…
Black Medicine Coffee Company
2 Nicolson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
The area near Edinburgh University's Southside campus is certainly not short of sandwich and coffee bars in which to grab a bite between classes. It proves a little harder, however, to find fresh, quality ingredients and a knowledge of how to combine…
Black Medicine Coffee Company
108 Marchmont Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1BG
The area near Edinburgh University's Southside campus is certainly not short of sandwich and coffee bars in which to grab a bite between classes. It proves a little harder, however, to find fresh, quality ingredients and a knowledge of how to combine…
Blue Moon Cafe
36 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
There's more to this gay hangout, which has been happily ensconced on bohemian Broughton Street since 1986, than meets the eye. Facing the street itself is a light, airy café - the sort of place you could (and many do) relax and read the papers for an…
Books and Beans
Belmont Street,
Aberdeen,
AB10 1JH
Books & Beans is a modern, colourful secondhand bookshop, which turns the dusty stereotype on its head. Downstairs, Aberdeen's first independent Fair Trade café offers freshly made soups, salads and sandwiches as well as great coffee. Its short, strong…
Brazilian Sensation
117-119 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Brazilian Sensation may be of modest size with a laid-back café ambience, but it's a place of unique culinary delights. The lunch menu features a wide selection of hot snacks, organic rolls and baguettes at bargain prices, as well as some invigorating…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 2HR
Brooklyn has deeper echoes of New York than simply its name - its front counter, crammed with sweet jars, cakes and miscellaneous items of food, is a familiar sight in any city benefiting from an early 20th century wave of Italian immigration. And then…
Buongiorno
1012 Pollokshaws Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 2HG
This café-restaurant on one of the Southside's main arteries may be small - despite a clever use of mirrors in its modern, white-tiled interior creating an illusion of greater space - but it's big on choice. There's an extensive brunch and lunch menu…
Café 1
75 Castle Street,
Inverness,
IV2 3EA
Scotland
Café 1 is a convivial place, thanks to its affable proprietor Norman Macdonald. Despite its name, it exudes more of a restaurant vibe with its sophisticated, contemporary décor. A popular spot with locals, the menu is eclectic and spans most continents.
Café 52
52 The Green,
Aberdeen,
AB11 6PE
Scotland
Buried in a cave-like arch below Union Street, Café 52 feels more like Amsterdam than the Granite City with an authentic air of easy cool that style bars would die for. The atmosphere is laid back but the menu is ambitious. Tempura black pudding and…
Café at the Palace
Palace of Holyrood House, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DX
It's not the first place that springs to mind when choosing where to lunch, but the Café at the Palace is more than a place to satiate the appetites of hungry tourists. Located across the road from the Scottish Parliament and a stone's throw from the…
Café Camino
St Mary's Cathedral, York Place, East End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JD
Pick your moment at Café Camino and you could find your coffee and sandwich accompanied by the solemn, yet uplifting, tones of a Catholic Mass being sung next door. This is the St Mary's Cathedral café and, since 2005, it has been doing excellent…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
Much to the delight of locals who have long relied on Café Cherubini for sustenance, this traditional Italian coffee house has now re-opened after a recent face-lift. The new owner, Mark Barratt, is a musician and artist, so the place shouts 'Viva…
Café Cosmo
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G3 6RB
There is rarely anything particularly nutritious to be found at your run-of-the-mill, everyday cinema snack bar. Overpriced and over-salted popcorn won't fill a hole: it will just make you want to chug more of that equally expensive giant cola. However…
Café DeLos and Café Soupson
National Museum of Scotland, 2 Chambers Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JF
One of Edinburgh's most popular attractions, the National Museum of Scotland, has not one but two cafés to offer visitors. If you're looking for something informal and child-friendly, head for Café Soupson at the rear of the building. There you'll find…
Café Grande
184 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DF
This café, bistro and bar has been bringing a touch of ooh-la-la to Bruntsfield for more than two decades. Although the French café-style wooden tables and chairs are now a little rickety, it is showing no sign of becoming any less popular with locals…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Apparently, a common customer observation is that Café Hula feels like it could be in another city entirely - San Francisco or Melbourne, perhaps. Co-owner Hugh McArthur describes the café's atmosphere as 'villagey', which is apt; with a ramshackle…
Café India
Lockhart House, Tulloch Street, Dingwall,
Inverness,
IV15 9JZ
Scotland
It's well worth the twenty minute drive from Inverness to an unassuming corner of Tulloch Street in Dingwall, where Café India is known to those in the know as the best Indian restaurant in the Highlands. The charming cream and gold coloured restaurant…
Café JJ
180 Dumbarton Road, Partick Cross, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6XE
The calm and inviting Cafe JJ has been around for long enough to be secure in its role of delivering good value, wholesome meals without too many frills, though, perhaps with an eye to the competition, smoothies are being added to a menu already full of…
Café Lava
24 St Andrews Street, East End,
Glasgow,
G1 5PD
On the fringes of the Merchant City near the law courts, Café Lava is a stylish alternative to the greasy spoons of Gallowgate: good for meeting friends, perusing the papers and snacking on a sandwich made with bread baked on the premises. With just a…
Café Lucia
Festival Theatre, 13-29 Nicolson Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9FT
With its giant windows facing out onto Nicolson Street, Café Lucia is a great place to people watch. Or you can turn your back on the world and find out what's coming up at the Festival Theatre courtesy of the large, but silent, TV screen. Situated on…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
Even cold and blustery days yield to the warm welcome awaiting all and sundry inside Café Marina. Like the best sort of Italian hostess, owner Marina Crolla (of the Valvona & Crolla family) wants to make even a simple lunch special. She proudly offers a…
Cafe Mediterraneo
73 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Bang in the middle of bustling Broughton Street, this perky, seemingly small café actually seats up to 40 diners. The neat front room and bigger room at the back are simply decorated with wooden tables and cheerful sky-blue walls. The pleasant décor and…
Café Newton
Dean Gallery, 73 Belford Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DS
Unlike its sister cafés at the Modern Art and Portrait Galleries, the Dean Gallery café offers table service. Dining here is a rather more sophisticated affair than at the other galleries, with dark wooden walls, mirrors and high-backed Mackintosh-style…
Café North
North Edinburgh Arts Centre, 15a Pennywell Court, Muirhouse,
Edinburgh,
EH4 4TZ
If Café North was in the centre of Edinburgh, you would be fighting to get a table. So perfect is it for family lunches, every toddler in town would treat it like a second home. In reality, North Edinburgh Arts Centre (NEAC) is a little off the beaten…
