The Italian Kitchen
64 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
A sleek, stylish and airy character-setter for its corner of the Merchant City, the Italian Kitchen has a striking atmosphere of buzz and bustle at lunchtime, with relaxed business people competing with smatterings of recharging shoppers to be heard…
Centotre
103 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
With its funky hot-pink walls, edgy uplighting and smooth background jazz, über-cool Centotre dresses to impress, and equally style-conscious diners pack out the place pretty much every night of the week. The downside of this popularity is that smaller…
Monteiths
57–61 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Spanking new Monteiths brings a touch of glitz and glamour to this section of the Royal Mile, more commonly associated with pubs and tourist attractions. The entrance is down a vine-arched and lit alleyway next to Moubray House, at the bottom of which…
A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LU
There's definitely room for a branch of this well-established Edinburgh chain in Leith, which, over the past few years has been overly dominated by high-brow and fish-based establishments. The Room in Leith has taken over the popular and comfortable…
Petit Paris
38–40 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
'Le respect de la tradition Française' is the strapline to this lively bistro, whose Grassmarket headquarters has plied a successful trade for a decade, with a further branch opening on Queensferry Street in 2005. While the décor of blue, white and red…
Cargo
Edinburgh Quay, 129 Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QA
Cargo's chic and airy space has been designed to draw in a hip, young crowd. Large glass panes at the back show off the beer garden by the canal and illuminate a large seating area full of polished black furniture and leather booths. The outdoor area is…
The Kitchin
78 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
He trained at some of Europe's finest restaurants under Pierre Koffman and Alain Ducasse, so it is not surprising that Tom Kitchin has made such a fast success of his Leith establishment. He returned to Scotland two years ago and within six months had…
Biblos
1 Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HR
Located close to the university, Biblos tends to be dominated by members of Edinburgh's student population. The venue has recently undergone a revamp: curtains, comfy armchairs and bright lampshades now lend the space a contemporary, clubby feel. The…
Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
More urbane than urban, this bustling Hanover Street basement is an ever-popular choice, and it's easy to see why. With simple prints on the white walls, solid pine furniture and flock-printed menus, the aesthetic lends the restaurant a cool…
The Dome Grill Room
14 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PF
Among the many A-listed buildings on George Street, the Dome stands out as both majestic and remarkably unspoiled. The grandiose grill room and cocktail bar – all marble pillars and potted palms – generates a kind of colonial atmosphere, the…
Mosque Kitchen
Edinburgh Central Mosque, 50 Potterrow,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BT
Mosque Kitchen is a singular dining experience, satisfying a very diverse clientele from all walks of life, staff and students from the nearby university and Muslim families. It's located in the Southside under a corrugated iron canapé at the back of…
Angels Bar & Diner
Angels Hotel, 114 Main Street,
Uddingston,
Lanarkshire,
G71 7HZ
Angels may be the most popular restaurant in Lanarkshire, judging by the amazing speed with which tables fill up - even early week. It's a venture which aims to take what was once straightforward pub food to a more ambitious level. In a smart…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
Occupying a basement near Kelvingrove Park, this Alpine-themed bar is the closest Glasgow gets to après-ski. Black leather booths nestle under wooden panels depicting snow scenes, while antlers decorate the walls. Students and office workers snap up…
International Starters
82 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
This well-oiled machine, which sits near the banks of Edinburgh's increasingly prosperous Shore area, has something for everyone. With a menu boasting dishes from around the world, the premise is simple: each person selects two or three starter-sized…
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…
Mancini
315–317 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HR
Located closer to the St George's Cross end of Great Western Road, Mancini is a bit away from the hub of the West End. This intimate place feels a little like a well-lit wine cellar with bare brick walls (hung in places with fairly lights), leather…
Le Sept
5 Hunter Square,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QW
Le Sept's airy dining room is all casual Gallic chic rather than over-coiffed stuffiness or Eiffel-and-onions pastiche. Black and white photographs crowd one wall and ledges are decked with red rosehip fairy lights. By day the lunch deal attracts both…
Browns Restaurant and Bar
131–133 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JS
With a kitchen that can handle close to a thousand covers on its busiest days, Browns is no modest operation. No surprise, given that it's one of a chain of 14 owned by the gargantuan Mitchells and Butlers pub operators. The corporate ethos is classic…
Forth Floor Restaurant
Harvey Nichols, 30–34 St Andrew Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AD
If you've ever shopped in Harvey Nichols, or even just walked past the window displays, you've probably got a pretty good idea of what its restaurant would look like. Retro-futuristic stylings, crisp white tablecloths and mood lighting from what appear…
The Boat House
22 High Street,
South Queensferry,
EH30 9PP
South Queensferry's Boat House restaurant has outgrown its original walls and a couple of years back part of the garden was sacrificed to make way for what is now a thriving bistro and bar with stunning picture windows over the Forth. Cleverly, however…
Di Maggio's
21 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
After more than 25 years in business, Di Maggio's is a firm favourite, with loyal locals and tourists alike visiting its various outlets. The Royal Exchange Square branch welcomes a stream of customers, even outside the peak times, attracted by the…
Oloroso
33 Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DN
With its sleek linear stylings, bold yellow flashes and adjoining cocktail bar, Oloroso cut quite a dash when its elevator first sprang open back in 2001. Since then, while nearby George Street competitors have been catching up in the style stakes, Tony…
The Witchery by the Castle
Castlehill, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NF
The Witchery must have witnessed a fair few proposals over the years. The combination of oak-panelled walls, red leather upholstery, tapestries and antique brass candlesticks makes the atmosphere in the historic 16th century building nothing short of…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Nestled in the eaves of one wing of an old church that also houses a theatre and bar is Cottier's restaurant. Decorated in gold and blue and lit with fairy lights, the dining room can feel like one of Glasgow's more romantic settings. The food is…
