Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street,

Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
Just a few short steps from Charing Cross station, the Baby Grand is by day mainly filled with office workers and commuters who do lunch and coffee in the long thin room, but by night the mood changes to a more leisurely vibe as the pianist takes over.

Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
Sunlit by summer’s day and candle-lit by winter’s night, Blonde’s stylish-but-plain premises can feel a little harsh with its hard surfaces and basic wooden chairs. However, this lack of luxury is quickly overshadowed when the comfort food arrives.

Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
Glasgow is lucky to have Chardon d’Or. There’s little point in describing a menu as it changes every couple of days when chef Brian Maule incorporates new dishes – one day it might be Arctic char with squid ink, the next, fillet of lamb. You just never…
