A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LU
The newest addition to this burgeoning Edinburgh collection of dining rooms enjoys a prime location between the Shore and the Scottish Government HQ at Victoria Quay. As in the restaurant’s sister branches on Howe Street and in the West End there’s a…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
With its quirky Alpine décor complete with antlers, pictures of mountain scenes and fake stove – this small basement bar is a favourite with nearby office workers by day and a studenty crowd at night. The menu is not extensive, but, aside from the usual…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
On a quiet street corner overlooking the greenery of Leith Links stands the appropriately named Bijou, a bite-sized eatery that has been serving up great food and home-style hospitality to a loyal following since 2006. At all times of day this café is…
Bisque Bar & Brasserie
Bruntsfield Hotel, 69 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HH
The bar area of the Bruntsfield Hotel's Bisque leads to a bright and spacious restaurant with an unassuming but tasteful décor of creams and browns. Breakfast is served all day alongside a lunch menu of bistro staples featuring sandwiches, tapas and…
Blas
1397 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AN
Co-owned by a Stornoway man, Blas brings a touch of Hebridean sophistication to the city. Blas is the Gaelic word for taste or flavour. This becomes apparent in its passionate sourcing policy, with smoked salmon from an Ullapool smoke-house, and ,of…
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…
Boaters Café
Rouken Glen Park,
Glasgow,
G46 7UG
Boaters Café is well known to the residents of Giffnock and Newton Mearns but less so to those outside Glasgow's southern suburbs. Situated by the boating pond at the edge of the rolling green expanses of Rouken Glen Park, it's an especially popular…
The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
This laid-back bistro restaurant sits just off Byres Road in the heart of the West End. Its warm, comfy interior includes formal dining as well as low tables and leather sofas arranged around a central bar. Mirrors and figurative paintings adorn William…
Browns Restaurant and Bar
131–133 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JS
Browns has been part of the George Street scene for some years now and it’s easy to see why it continues to thrive. A deceptively huge interior is airy and classically styled in creams with a dark wood finish and potted palms, with waiting staff dressed…
Brutti Ma Buoni
Brunswick Hotel, 106 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1TF
The menu at Brutti Ma Buoni in the Brunswick Hotel really does require heavy reading. It stretches across multiple pages and ranges from brunch classics such as beans on toast to Italian-inspired pizzas and pastas. Buzzing most nights with a stylish…
Cafe Hub
Castlehill, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Just a few easy steps downhill from the Castle, the Hub is another of Edinburgh's landmark buildings and a prime destination for coffees and light meals when the sightseeing gets too much. The bright cadmium yellow walls of the ground floor café come as…
Café Renroc
91 Montgomery Street,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HZ
Owned by local couple Billy and Jane Ross and inspired by the cafés of Amsterdam, which they visited on their honeymoon, Renroc isn’t so much a business as it is a home away from home. Set on an unassuming back street corner, and with just a few tables…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
Chinaski’s, named after literary drinker Charles Bukowski’s alter-ego, is far too cool to promote itself; even their website is a single, reticent page. They don’t do meal deals, they don’t have a gaudy sign, they barely light the place. All this keeps…
City Café
City Inn, Finnieston Quay,
Glasgow,
G3 8HN
Suited business types and showgoers bound for the nearby SECC mix here with diners simply keen on the prime riverside view, which features Glasgow's affectionately named 'Squinty Bridge'. The word 'cafe' seems inappropriate: it belies the crisp, white…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
There have been changes lately in this popular West End fixture. As the restoration of the church structure built in 1865 continues, the theatre is still closed and while the bar thrives, Cottier's no longer runs the busy Sunday jazz sessions or…
Cruz
14 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
Scotland
Having made the transition from ordinary premises on the Southside of Edinburgh to the top deck of a floating bar and night club on the Shore in Leith, De Niro's enjoys one of the best sites available to Edinburgh’s busy list of Italian restaurants.
The Dome Grill Room
14 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PF
With sparkling chandeliers, vivid stained-glass windows and a stately cupola overarching the central bar, the Dome Grill Room certainly makes an impression. Housed in a former bank, the building’s grandeur has been retained and is reflected by the…
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…
Firebird
1321 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
Floor to ceiling windows, exposed stone walls and old-fashioned high-set gas heaters give this corner site on Argyle Street a sense of timelessness. Here you could easily nurse a daytime coffee, watching the world go by or enjoy a full meal from a menu…
Forth Floor Brasserie
Harvey Nichols, 30–34 St Andrew Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AD
The Forth Floor Brasserie is worth a visit for the view alone. Floor-to-ceiling windows and outdoor seating make this a favourite summer destination for the style conscious, and weekends tend to be busy with exhausted shoppers seeking the comfort of a…
Hotel du Vin
11 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EZ
In 2008, like magic, up popped boutique venture Hotel du Vin on Bristo Place: imposing, polished and appearing as though it had always been there. In the bistro, smartly dressed waiters with impeccable manners zip between tables, filling glasses and…
The Hudson Hotel
7–11 Hope Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4EL
On first appearance there is very little to lift the Hudson out of that popular subcategory of pub that should perhaps be termed 'elegant Edinburgh bars that also serve food'. Like so many it is a haven of shining dark wood, subtle lighting and leather.
The Inn at Kippen
Fore Road,
Kippen,
FK8 3DT
A leisurely drive along country roads between Glasgow and Stirling brings you to the Inn at Kippen. During colder months, the Inn has a comforting feel, with a welcoming open coal fire radiating warmth throughout the cosy dining space while the buzz of…
The Italian Kitchen
64 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1EX
The corner of the Merchant City bounded by Ingram Street and Albion Street has become something of an unofficial Italian Quarter in recent years, with half a dozen Italian restaurants vying for business within a stone’s throw of each another. The…
