Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
There's a piece of advice for women in the film LA Story - once you've put on all your jewellery and accessories, check the mirror and then remove the piece that catches your eye. And if Abstract excised just the mirror-ball pillar from amongst the…
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…
Amber
The Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
This gem of a restaurant may seem to cater to tourists, being, as it is, slap-bang on the trail, but it is quite a find and well worth the trek to the Royal Mile for locals. Set beneath the Whisky Heritage Centre and close to Edinburgh Castle, the plain…
The Apartment
7-13 Barclay Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HW
Mellow strains of funky jazz, seductively comfortable Philippe Starck leather chairs and soft, moody lighting make this neighbourhood restaurant between Tollcross and Bruntsfield a stylish, yet incredibly relaxed, hangout. The menu encourages diners to…
Appetite@Rowland's
42 Howe Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Tucked away on the north side of the New Town, the Appetite catering company's takeaway venture has long been seen as serving up some of the best food on this side of Princes Street. Providing a sizeable array of gourmet cuisine made with top quality…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
There's a reason why the Atrium is one of Edinburgh's most renowned restaurants - the food is simply divine. Chef Neil Forbes has affiliations to the Slow Food movement, which means the Scottish/Mediterranean menu is created with an eye not just to the…
Avoca
4-6 Dean Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
Tucked halfway down a residential street in Stockbridge, Avoca has the relaxed atmosphere and impeccable, friendly service that you would expect to find in a local village pub rather than a classy Edinburgh enclave. Don't be put off by the dated…
Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AN
A low curtain shields the interior of this high-ceilinged, low-lit room from the eyes of passers-by. Inside, however, a slightly raised timber floor allows diners to look into the street. It's a clever touch that makes guests feel slightly superior to…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
The sea bass is beautiful. The belly is as pearly white as the moment the fish was pulled from the sea. The pewter-coloured skin is lightly charred and fennel seeds and the merest whiff of earthy truffle oil fragrance the perfectly cooked flesh. It's a…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
A relative newcomer on a street better known for its B&Bs than its haute cuisine, Bijou cuts quite a dash. The interior is cheerfully informal, and feels more like the front room of a relatively well-to-do friend than a restaurant. Fairy lights are…
blue bar café
10 Cambridge Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Sharing a building with its big sister restaurant Atrium and the Traverse Theatre, blue bar café has the same innovative edge as both its neighbours. Having just undergone a makeover - opting for earthy tones in its décor - this place celebrates nature…
La Bruschetta
13 Clifton Terrace, Haymarket, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DR
Stressed-out commuters would do well to follow West End residents to La Bruschetta, a tiny, cosy haven, just across the road from the bustle of Haymarket Station. Even during the week the bright, living room-sized restaurant is often packed and has the…
Café Marlayne
76 Thistle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EN
If you want to secure a table at Café Marlayne's Thistle Street branch this weekend you'd better get dialing. Head chef and proprietor Isla Fraser's reputation for sensibly-priced, ultra-fresh and fidget-free cookery has won this pint-sized New Town…
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 Royal Circle Bar
19 West Register Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
In this fickle, post-modern age, traditions are too often cast aside in the name of progress or mimicked without any real acknowledgement of their value. There are places where traditions are upheld, and done so in with class. The Café Royal Circle Bar…
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…
The Cambridge Bar
20 Young Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JB
At the Cambridge Bar the humble burger, a pub staple, is no longer quite so humble. In this stylish but almost self-effacingly neutral venue (popular with all from midweek business lunchers to sporty weekend brunchers), the gourmet burgers are so big…
Celadon
49-51 Causewayside, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QF
Opened in 2006, this new kid on a slightly out-of-the-way Southside block displays a finesse that belies its relative youth. Eschewing any temptation to Orientalise its intimate 18th century surroundings with exotic gewgaws, Celadon's eau-de-nil walls…
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…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
It's impossible to miss Chop Chop's bright yellow and red façade, and the décor inside is equally vibrant. The practical tables, paper napkins and simple Chinese art are subtle hints that perhaps the food is this venue's major draw. Guidance notes on…
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…
La Concha
18-24 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
Stockbridge's La Concha needs no introduction to its many fans, and now that owner Richard Morana has knocked through the wall to double the size of his formerly tiny restaurant, there's room for many more. Cool new décor in muted monochrome adds gloss…
Creelers
3 Hunter Square, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QW
It's hard to know what else owner Tim James can do to demonstrate his commitment to the culinary arts. He oversees the curing and smoking of all his fish from personally-selected Isle of Arran fishermen and even sets out on his own boat, Margaret Eliza…
La Cuchara Negra
3 Grove Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AF
La Cuchara Negra (the black spoon) has been something of a work in progress since it opened in spring 2006, and with lunchtime trading planned for mid-2007, this tiny Latin American restaurant is showing it has a big heart. There's no trace of a tacky…
David Bann Vegetarian Restaurant
56-58 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
Shunning the bohemian stereotype of vegetarianism in favour of minimalist, grown-up sophistication, David Bann's recently refurbished restaurant arguably appeals more to yuppies than hippies. However, despite sleek surroundings, snappy service and…
