The Californian Twist in Edinburgh and Speciality Restaurant of the Year 2010
Ketchup
44 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
Cynics may muse that Ketchup is Stefan King’s attempt to ‘start them early’ into the G1 mind-set, as the burgers and milkshakes ethos is clearly aimed at both students and children alike. Whatever ethos lies behind it, it is clearly working, as the…
7 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AN
If your restaurant is really only serving two things, you’d better make sure you do those things well. Bell's Diner has been doing steak and burgers well for over 40 years and there are no signs of things changing. Behind its anonymous exterior, there’s…
Filling Station
46 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1HG
With its diner-style booths, a bottle of ketchup on every table and retro road signs for decoration, the Filling Station is aiming for a classic US roadhouse feel. The long menu concentrates on burgers, hot sandwiches, steaks and salads, together with a…
30 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
This Grassmarket stalwart seems to exert a gravitational pull on small to medium sized groups of both locals and tourists looking for an impromptu food stop. Starters like sweet potato fries and macho nachos are decent enough, but their function is to…
Buffalo Grill
12–14 Chapel Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
Pictures of the big beasts may decorate the walls but no, you won’t find buffalo meat on the grill here. However, there are plenty of other options available on the surprisingly wide-ranging menu from this veteran of the Stockbridge dining scene…
Buffalo Grill
1 Raeburn Place,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
Pictures of the big beasts may decorate the walls but no, you won’t find buffalo meat on the grill here. However, there are plenty of other options available on the surprisingly wide-ranging menu from this veteran of the Stockbridge dining scene…
70 Rose Street North Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DX
Tucked away behind Rose Street, Calistoga’s insalubrious location belies a welcoming, chic bistro that aims to bring a little Californian sunshine to Edinburgh. Posters of vineyards on the cream-coloured walls declare the restaurant’s passion for wine…
Hamburger Heaven
36 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
With a vibrant New York City street scene overlooking a simple but comfortable dining space, Hamburger Heaven aims to bring a little bit of Manhattan to Broughton Street – and largely succeeds, thanks to its buzzy, informal vibe. Though it shares a…
The New York Steam Packet
31 Rose Street Lane North,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2NP
There’s probably some money to made by standing on Rose Street and directing lost diners to this almost invisible restaurant, hidden down an alley and then up a steep spiral staircase. It feels more like a treehouse than a restaurant and the boisterous…
Smoke Stack
53–55 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
A meat-lovers’ mecca since 1996, Smoke Stack reinforces its menu’s focus on beef with its spartan interior, the deep-crimson walls visually echoing the shade of a quiveringly rare fillet steak. While there are salads, fajitas and a few vegetarian…
Tribeca
102 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6NX
With a name like Tribeca, after the area of New York, the Americana inside – not to mention the yellow taxi and NYPD cruiser parked outside – should come as little surprise. Pictures of Manhattan street scenes, wooden tables (rather crammed in) and a…
McKirdy's Steakhouse
151 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AG
While certain steakhouses have moved elegantly into more upmarket pastures, McKirdy's continues with its proven formula unchanged. In a modest setting on Morrison Street, it’s all about the meat, not the décor. Delivering consistent quality beef…
Nick’s
168 Hyndland Road,
Glasgow,
G12 9HZ
It’s love at first sight at Nick’s – what a stunning interior, all exposed brickwork, dark wood, slightly industrial, Brooklyn-loft kind of vibe. A newcomer to Hyndland Road, having opened in late 2009, it takes over the site of the unique…
Di Maggio’s
21 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Since 1985 Di Maggio's has been expanding from its original Shawlands venue to branches across the city. As the name suggests, the menu owes more to US Italian food than the old country, and while the considerably dense à la carte menu is the same in…
Illegal Jack's
113-117 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
Opened in 2009, Illegal Jack’s aims to provide fresh, healthy, speedily delivered tex-mex food on a takeaway or sit-in basis. There are a range of seating options from upholstered booths to bench tables and food is ordered counter-service style. The…
Katie's Diner
12 Barclay Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HP
Katie’s Diner, Kate and Geoff Ness’s friendly neighbourhood eatery, has been satisfying Bruntsfield locals for more than a decade now and it’s easy to see why: its small but welcoming interior, filled with an eclectic mix of bric-a-brac and photos of…
Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Both branches of Ad Lib share a menu that infuses a melting pot of global influences and a dash of Glasgow charm. The narrow New York-style bar at Hope St leads onto the large dining courtyard area, with red walls, rail lighting and photographs of…
Circus
27-29 Endell Street,
London,
WC2 9BA
Set in Covent Garden at the heart of London's Theatreland, Circus is an innovative combination of a Pan American restaurant and a West End cocktail bar.
Diners are also entertained by the added bonus of quirky yet glamourous bursts of cabaret…
Diner 7
7 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
Leith certainly has its fair share of restaurants, but in among the fine dining and the seafood platters it would be an oversight to miss the narrow entrance to this laid-back burger and steak specialist. Inside it’s simply decorated (if you discount…
Gourmet Burger Kitchen
137 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JY
The wide-ranging burger menu – from conventional beef to lamb and even buffalo – suggests that Gourmet Burger Kitchen is all ready to deliver on its name’s promise. And indeed, their textbook cheeseburger, a well-constructed panko-crumbed chicken burger…
Joe Allen - Covent Garden
13 Exeter Street, Covent Garden,
London,
WC2E 7DT
Legendary for a good reason, a discreet entrance in Covent Garden with a simple plaque on the walls invites you to enter the legendary Joe Allen Restaurant. The best kept secret of the London crowd: its laid back charms and wholesome food have kept the…
Smoak
61 Old Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G3 8RF
Smoak specialises in hot sandwiches of the very meaty kind with a strong Tex-Mex slant in the preparation and flavours. The brisket of beef is given a spicy Texan rub including mustard, smoked paprika and chillies, then slow-roasted for hours to melting…
