A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LU
If you pitch up here late or without booking, it may be wise to have a plan B. On sunny days, the waterside tables outside fill up fast with people enjoying a platter of mussels and a well chosen glass, while for chillier occasions, there’s candle…
Bigos
277 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
There is a home-spun image created by the rough hewn wooden word 'Bigos' nailed on to the front of this tiny restaurant. And despite the dangerous looking agricultural implements and animal skins hanging on the walls, Bigos does without doubt have a…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
If not quite a diamond in the rough, Bijou is certainly a lovely find in an unlikely locale. This low-key café/bistro by Leith Links is frequented by locals and intrepid visitors for breakfast, lunch, dinner and take-away. The tiny kitchen dishes up…
The Birdcage
Stuart House, Eskmills, Station Road,
Musselburgh,
East Lothian,
EH21 7PQ
Previously known as The Glasshouse, due to gleaming glass walls, this upmarket Musselburgh restaurant housed in the village’s Eskmills now takes its name from the walk-through birdcage which occupies pride of place in the spacious front bar. Once home…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Across the road from Theatre Royal and within spitting distance of both the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and Glasgow School of Art, Café Hula attracts a young, creative crowd. With its appealing, unpolished interior, friendly, laid-back…
Canasta Bistro
1102 Cathcart Road, Mount Florida,
Glasgow,
G42 9EG
Within a pizza throw of Hampden stadium, Canasta has become a celebrated restaurant in Glasgow's Mount Florida – an area not known for great dining options. It's cosy inside, with chequered tablecloths and scatter cushions contributing to an informal…
Double Dutch
27–29 Marshall Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BJ
Under new management since the summer of 2008, but still trading under the same name, any former Dutch influence which this café boasted has long since disappeared. There’s plenty to take its place, although it could be argued that the extensiveness of…
eat deli
16 Busby Rd, Clarkston,
Glasgow,
G76 7BG
Located in what might be considered the deep south, eat deli is a food haven for the local inhabitants of Clarkston. The simple name conveys their simple policy: always use the best quality fresh, natural ingredients, with no compromise. Entering the…
La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1LE
Although dark and slightly forbidding from the outside, hinting that the dining experience beyond these doors may be a serious and formal affair, inside it is relaxed and cosy with a fun, kitschy bent to the décor, reminiscent of the best tourist…
Ivory Bar & Restaurant
2–4 Camphill Avenue,
Glasgow,
G41 3AY
Situated adjacent to the greenery of Queens Park on a relatively quiet residential street, The Ivory Hotel looks like it could almost be the eatery and watering hole in a rural town. It feels like it inside too, with an informal atmosphere generated by…
Osteria Piero
111 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2RU
With solid, traditional furnishings echoing the robust, confident flavours of its Tuscan-inspired menu, this basement restaurant is cosy and welcoming at any hour. Smartly dressed waiters add a sense of occasion, but the atmosphere is convivial and…
Reds
254 Portobello High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2AT
The sign reading ‘Six buggy limit’ says it all. If you live in Portobello and have small children, chances are you’ll know Reds and its large, soft cage – sorry, play frame – in the back room, where your offspring can slide and scamper while you eat or…
Café Renroc
91 Montgomery Street,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HZ
Few cafés offer the pleasures of a hot stone massage alongside your latte, but then Café Renroc (’Corner’ spelt backwards) is certainly not short of individuality. From the downstairs pampering spot to the funky furnishings, this is a comfortable home…
La Tasca
39–43 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1JS
La Tasca must be doing something right. The flamenco guitars being piped through the PA are competing with boisterous chatter and the relentless tattoo of cutlery on plates. The place is packed. A cursory glance at the menu reveals what may be…
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DT
Old-school elegance is evident from the moment of stepping through the doors into the champagne bar – marble tops and polished mahogany dominate while a pianist plays soft jazz on the baby grand. Beyond lies the formal restaurant where smart staff…
