Café Cossachok
Trongate 103, 10 King Street, Glasgow, G1 5QP
It may sound like a cliché, but there is quite literally nowhere like Café Cossachok, the ‘first and only authentic Russian Restaurant’ in Scotland. Despite having opened in 1998, on entering there is still the feeling of discovering a rare…

Café Cosmo
Glasgow Film Theatre, 12 Rose Street, Glasgow, G3 6RB
Just as the cinematic offerings at the GFT are a million miles from the standard multiplex fare, so is the café a welcome departure from harshly lit popcorn pushers and hot dog dispensers. It’s a cosy haven, with low lighting, dark blue walls and a…
King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
272a St Vincent Street, Glasgow, G2 5RL

GSC Café
50 Pacific Quay, Glasgow, G51 1EA

The Brasserie at Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G12 8QX

Terrace Café
Royal Botanic Garden, Inverleith Row, Edinburgh, EH3 5LR
Location, as they say, is everything and it's true that the Terrace Café's position near the Botanics' top lawn, with its stunning views of Edinburgh's iconic skyline, is hard to beat. It's a shame that the food – a self-service selection of pre-made…

Tower Restaurant
National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1JF
For the best view in the Southside, try the roof terrace of the Tower, looking over to the Castle. Inside, the National Museum’s restaurant has dark, glossy tables and a modern take on food. Like the crisp fish finger which really tastes of crab.
Museum Brasserie
National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1JF
