The perfect restaurant to experience a real taste of Italy. - Vittoria ‘On the Walk’
One of Edinburgh’s best known Italian Restaurants.
Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
It's important to set aside an entire evening for a visit to Abstract: a quick bite before curtain up at one of the nearby theatres would be doing it a great injustice. There's just so much vying for your attention here, from the mirrored pillars and…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Ad Lib

Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Alla Turca
192 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DY
This ambitious newcomer, from Òran Mór's former brasserie manager Burak Soyusinmez, has an agenda: to show that there's a lot more to Turkish cuisine than dodgy post-pub kebabs. And so Alla Turca's menu is one of two halves, with traditional dishes on…
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Conceived as a more upmarket venture by the owners of the popular Italian restaurant chain DiMaggio's, Amarone immediately impresses with an elegant entrance and staircase leading to a stylish, modern basement dining room. High stained glass windows…
Amber
The Scotch Whisky Experience, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Amber is ideally placed to capitalise on the tourist trade – it's close to Edinburgh Castle and forms part of the Scotch Whisky Experience – but don't let visitors to the city be the only ones to enjoy its charms. Dispensing with folksiness, Amber…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
To wander through Broomhill, at least up the Crow Road from Partick towards Anniesland, is to witness a dearth of dining out options. But amid the virtual desert this oasis emerges modestly amid of a row of shops. The former Café Royale, An Lochan is…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
The Arches has long held a reputation for being one of the coolest venues in the city. Its club nights are legendary, its music programme adventurous, its theatre daring and eclectic. Various events and festivals throughout the year, such as Arches…
L'Ariosto
92–94 Mitchell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Named after the Renaissance bard, L'Ariosto has many surprises. Designed to resemble an Italian courtyard and exuding a cosy atmosphere, it still has room to put on dinner dances with a live band five nights a week. It's almost 40 years old, but there's…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Co-owners Naveed Rashid and Stephen Bonomi have a passion for quality Scottish produce that makes dining at Arisaig a thoroughly satisfying experience. In this attractive dining room, large, almost abstract paintings of foaming oceans and crashing waves…

Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
When the smart restaurant within the G1 Group's Arta complex of bars and opened its doors in 2000, the menu was largely Spanish and in keeping with the design of the building (although it's a former cheese market, the interior has been modelled on a…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
At this independent restaurant (which, despite its name, is not part of the Harlequin chain), lively hen parties and office groups tend to head for the 'curry karaoke' below street level, while the main dining space, branded the Ashoka Flame, offers a…
Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
The Harlequin Group's operation on Ashton Lane is most popular with local students and other people seeking an inexpensive meal before – or after – hitting the cobbled street's busy bars. The restaurant is decorated in shades of orange and brown with a…
Ashoka at the Mill
500 Corselet Road, Darnley,
Glasgow,
G53 7RN
Located in the city's Southside, Ashoka at the Mill is a more recent addition to the Harlequin Group's empire. There is a family feel to the restaurant, thanks mostly to the children running in and out of Poppa Dom's Playzone, which takes up one wing of…
Ashoka West End
1284 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AB
Established over 25 years ago, Ashoka West End claims to sit on the corner of the longest street and the shortest road in Glasgow. It is undoubtedly something of a local landmark. Split over two levels, there is a bar and 25 seats at ground level and…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Residing in the upper echelons of the capital's food chain since opening in the early 90s, Atrium is clearly unafraid to move with the times. As those with coffers sufficiently well-lined to dine here regularly will know, the venue took a post-Festival…
Bacco Italia
67–69 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
Anyone wondering why Italian restaurants have such a special place in the hearts of Scots in general and Glaswegians in particular should visit Bacco Italia. The designer décor and concept of this 'style wine bar/restaurant' illustrate the intentions of…
La Bagatelle
22a Brougham Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JU
La Bagatelle is a fine example of the popular local bistro. The décor is muted and homely, the walls adorned with paintings and sketches by regular customers, and co-owner Karen Perschke wanders from table to table chatting to her loyal clientèle. This…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
Housed in an impressively spacious former bank building, this pub and restaurant shows that catering for a wide range of tastes – and keeping standards reasonably high – is possible. Vast brown sofas, long wooden tables and a stained glass dome in the…
Bar MC
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
This basement venue in the swish ABode Hotel was formerly known as Michael Caines Café Bar. It was rebranded in October 2007, but not too much has changed: Bar MC incorporates both a family-friendly restaurant (where under fives eat free) and a…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
It may feel at first like a standard city-centre style bar with its muted lighting, studiously minimalist décor and languorous background beats, but Bar Soba's food is more than an afterthought to complement the range of fancy bottled beers. The kitchen…
Barioja
19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
As the younger, funkier sibling to Iggs restaurant next door, Barioja serves traditional tapas in relaxed, style-bar surroundings. With large picture windows overlooking Calton Hill, their promise to bring you 'Spanish sunshine, whatever the weather…
El Barrio
119 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DT
While the attendance of a bouncer on the door may hint at the party going on downstairs, a relatively modest exterior gives little suggestion of the fiery Latin spirit waiting inside. With a well-stocked bar – complete with exotic beers, rums, tequilas…
Bay of Bengal
164 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QS
Located right in the heart of the busiest stretch of the Royal Mile, Bay of Bengal is a long-established curry house serving predominantly North Indian and Bangladeshi cuisine. Modest in size, it does expand outdoors when the weather allows. Inside, the…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB

B'est
16 Drummond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9TX

Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
Jokes mocking the fairer-haired may be ten-a-penny but this Blonde is certainly no dummy. Situated in a sleepy Southside street, the restaurant positively buzzes during the Festival due to its proximity to the Pleasance, but pulls in a regular crowd…
blue
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
In applying Slow Food philosophies, properly educating its staff and delivering superbly designed dishes, blue is doing a lot of things right. A fastidious sourcing policy forms the restaurant's backbone, the name of the game being those elusive goals…

La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
Long established in the heart of so-called Theatreland, La Bonne Auberge occupies a corner of the Holiday Inn near Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and the soaring Cineworld tower. This subdued, low-lit restaurant deserves praise for maintaining a distinct…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
With the convivial hubbub of the closely packed tables, the sizzling steam and enticing aromas emerging from the kitchen, and the bold white, crimson and black décor, at Bonsai it's easy to imagine yourself in an izakaya in downtown Tokyo. And indeed it…
Borough
72–80 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PY
Borough has long been one of Edinburgh's best-kept secrets, serving up cocktails and chilled beats, but just beyond the retro chic of the bar rests a small but perfectly formed restaurant. Mellow lighting from a galaxy of small, scattered light bulbs…
The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Tucked away in Ruthven Lane, a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Byres Road, the Bothy combines modern design with traditional touches, creating a look somewhere between country hotel sitting room and trendy style bar. The kitchen aims to…

The Brasserie, Norton House Hotel & Spa
Ingliston,
Newbridge,
EH28 8LX
Norton House Hotel harbours two principal dining spots: upscale, eight-table Ushers may be the hotel's signature restaurant, but the informal Brasserie more than holds its own. Either way, you get to savour the same grandiose arrival up the sweeping…

176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
It's seven years since Brian Maule moved back to his native Scotland to develop his philosophy of bold, classic cuisine (initially nurtured by the brothers Roux in London). In this time, Chardon d'Or has become one of Glasgow's few destination…
The Bridge at the Barceló Edinburgh Carlton
Barceló Edinburgh Carlton Hotel, 19 North Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SD
Britannia Spice
150 Commercial Street, Ocean Drive,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LB
Taking its name from one of the world's most famous ships, now moored as nearby in the lively environs of Leith, Britannia Spice has an overtly nautical theme that suits its mix of north Indian, Bangladeshi, Thai and Nepalese cuisine surprisingly well.
Budda
8 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
Four years after opening in the West End, Budda still offers something of an ethnic cocoon. Gold statues line the bar, Balinese lanterns hang from rich orange walls and twisted wooden chairs create a sense of far-eastern intimacy overlooking the cobbles…
Café Andaluz
2 Cresswell Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
There are two Café Andaluz restaurants in Glasgow – at St Vincent Place in the city centre and Cresswell Lane in the West End – and there are plans to open another in Edinburgh's George Street in 2008. The tapas format fits well into each location, with…

Café Antipasti
305 Sauchiehall Street,

Café Cossachok
38 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Cossachok successfully embraces multiple identities: it's part gallery, part cultural centre and part music venue, yet still essentially a restaurant. Temporarily relocated until 2009 (while their ten-year home on the other side of the Trongate is…
Café Français
4 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
Extravagantly fitted out fin de siècle style, with globe lamps and brass railings aplenty, Café Français exudes an informal class that draws a steady trade, perhaps due to its flexible menu. There's a big selection of crêpes, salads and baguettes and a…

Café Marlayne
7 Old Fishmarket Close, 190 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1RW
Both restaurants share the same name, have interchangeable chefs and waiting staff and almost identical menus of gusty, well-flavoured French, no-fuss food with a Scottish twist, but offer quite different atmospheres. The Old Town café is a charming…
Café Source
1 St Andrew's Square,
Glasgow,
G1 5PP
Nestled in the basement of the imposing St Andrew's in the Square church (now a busy arts venue), this bustling café punches above its weight, serving a menu of quality Scottish classics to a standard higher than more formal establishments. The bar can…

La Cantina
72 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX

158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB

Channings Restaurant
12–16 South Learmonth Gardens, Comely Bank,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1EZ
Tucked away down a small cobbled street, Channings Hotel is not the sort of place you'd stumble across by chance. Just a few steps down from the street there's a low-lit oasis of quiet elegance waiting to be discovered. While in truth it may not be…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LU
Charcoals' colourful interiors, and its reliable and occasionally excellent Punjabi cuisine, make it a good choice in the city centre. The main draws here are the great value lunchtime buffet – popular with local office workers – and the generous…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
'Authentic' may be an over-used claim on many menus, but at Chop Chop it's entirely appropriate. Don't be fooled by the garish red and yellow façade: it might look like any other takeaway, but Chop Chop is the real deal. Genuinely charming and…
Circus Wine Bar & Grill
58a North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LU
Tucked discreetly away from the style bar excess of the west end of George Street, Circus offers an oasis of refined charm, albeit of the more old-school variety. Entering through a small foyer, complete with decorative piano, diners are received in a…

Glasgow,
G1 1DA

Corus
377 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,

Edinburgh,

D'Antonio's
63 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RA
A brief sojourn to Italy last summer for owners Antonello D'Antonio and Carol Lawrie resulted in this elegant shorefront restaurant being transformed into an American-Italian style diner for a few months. But the chef-patron and front-of-house manager…
Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
With its discrete entrance and first-floor location, Dakhin could easily be missed among the plethora of busy restaurants and bars in Candleriggs. Those who are curious – or cunning – enough to venture upstairs, however, will be welcomed into an…
Daniel's Bistro
88 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Situated in the modern development along Commercial Quay, Daniel's is a temple to all things French – with a good dose of Scottish thrown in. Owner Daniel Vencker is originally from Alsace, but is keen to embrace his adopted country in all aspects of…
