Glasgow,
G2 6LL

An Lochan
340 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
To wander through Broomhill, at least up the Crow Road from Partick towards Anniesland, is to witness a dearth of dining out options. But amid the virtual desert this oasis emerges modestly amid of a row of shops. The former Café Royale, An Lochan is…
The Bank
443 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 3LL
Housed in an impressively spacious former bank building, this pub and restaurant shows that catering for a wide range of tastes – and keeping standards reasonably high – is possible. Vast brown sofas, long wooden tables and a stained glass dome in the…
Bar MC
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ

Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
Jokes mocking the fairer-haired may be ten-a-penny but this Blonde is certainly no dummy. Situated in a sleepy Southside street, the restaurant positively buzzes during the Festival due to its proximity to the Pleasance, but pulls in a regular crowd…
blue
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
In applying Slow Food philosophies, properly educating its staff and delivering superbly designed dishes, blue is doing a lot of things right. A fastidious sourcing policy forms the restaurant's backbone, the name of the game being those elusive goals…

La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
Long established in the heart of so-called Theatreland, La Bonne Auberge occupies a corner of the Holiday Inn near Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and the soaring Cineworld tower. This subdued, low-lit restaurant deserves praise for maintaining a distinct…
Borough
72–80 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PY
Borough has long been one of Edinburgh's best-kept secrets, serving up cocktails and chilled beats, but just beyond the retro chic of the bar rests a small but perfectly formed restaurant. Mellow lighting from a galaxy of small, scattered light bulbs…
The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Tucked away in Ruthven Lane, a stone's throw from the hustle and bustle of Byres Road, the Bothy combines modern design with traditional touches, creating a look somewhere between country hotel sitting room and trendy style bar. The kitchen aims to…

Glasgow,

Café Andaluz

Glasgow,
G12 8AA

Café Antipasti
305 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ

Café Français
4 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY
Extravagantly fitted out fin de siècle style, with globe lamps and brass railings aplenty, Café Français exudes an informal class that draws a steady trade, perhaps due to its flexible menu. There's a big selection of crêpes, salads and baguettes and a…
Cafe Hub
Castlehill, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Light pours in through the high windows of Café Hub and settles on the cheerful yellow walls of this grand dining hall, that was formerly a church and is now the headquarters of the Edinburgh International Festival. There's a peaceful vibe in this…
Café Mao
84 Brunswick Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1TD

Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar
158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB

Circus Wine Bar & Grill
58a North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LU
Tucked discreetly away from the style bar excess of the west end of George Street, Circus offers an oasis of refined charm, albeit of the more old-school variety. Entering through a small foyer, complete with decorative piano, diners are received in a…

Glasgow,
G1 1DA

Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
With its discrete entrance and first-floor location, Dakhin could easily be missed among the plethora of busy restaurants and bars in Candleriggs. Those who are curious – or cunning – enough to venture upstairs, however, will be welcomed into an…
Daniel's Bistro
88 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Situated in the modern development along Commercial Quay, Daniel's is a temple to all things French – with a good dose of Scottish thrown in. Owner Daniel Vencker is originally from Alsace, but is keen to embrace his adopted country in all aspects of…
De Niro's
The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
De Niro's restaurant, once a stalwart of the Italian scene on the Southside of Edinburgh, has relocated to Cruz, the floating bar and night club, where it now occupies the dining room on the main deck. Built almost 90 years ago in Greenock, the former…

Glasgow,
G2 4DT
La Fiorentina
2 Paisley Road West,
Glasgow,
G51 1LE
With its traditional décor of statues, vines and terracotta tiles, La Fiorentina is a Southside institution approaching its second decade with old-fashioned service that's deferential and efficient, keeping the chat to a minimum. To start, a platter of…
Gabbro
The Salisbury Hotel, 43 Salisbury Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5AA
Gabbro is not just another hotel restaurant – it is instantly clear on arrival that this place aspires to greater things. The entrance can feel a little drab, but once you're inside the restaurant, you're in for a proper warm welcome and slick service.
Gamba
225a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
Gamba celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2008, and one would be hard-pressed to name a more consistently excellent, top-end restaurant in Glasgow over the same time period. It's not only that chef and co-owner Derek Marshall doesn't ever settle for…
The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6NL
With its shiny black wooden furniture, mirrored surfaces and private booths, each with their own rather decadent crystal chandelier, this luxurious restaurant has a distinct air of the moneyed 1980s. The time travel effect is further enhanced by the…
Hadrian's Brasserie
1 Princes Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EQ
Smart surroundings and attentive service are the least you would expect of one of Edinburgh's classiest hotels. Happily, in the Balmoral's more informal brasserie, smiles and a friendly welcome await you amid the linen tablecloths and hushed…
Iglu
2b Jamaica Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6HH
Iglu is a venue that takes its organic, local and ethical food policy very seriously. But don't feel guilty if you need to take a taxi there should you find it hard to locate: it's hidden away from the main drag of the city centre and lurks…
Iris
47a Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DY
Iris only opened its doors in December 2007, but, thanks to the competence of owners Mark Lawrence and Kenny Waugh – part of the team that founded the Apartment and the Outsider – the restaurant already seems confident. It's charming too: three petite…
Itchycoo Bar & Kitchen
80 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1TH
Replete with Timorous Beasties wallpaper and a vivid Foscarini chandelier, the distinctive Itchycoo could and should be a thriving city centre hangout. The desired effect is a little compromised by gleamingly bright lighting and a somehow hollow…
The Jam House
5 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JE
Dusky purple lights cast romantic shadows on the walls of this funky, jazz-centric venue once occupied by BBC Scotland. Guests dine on the balcony above the main stage where soulful musicians entertain throughout the evening. A fixed-price set menu with…
JT Rochead
60 Trongate,
Glasgow,
G1 5EP
Walking through a busy bar into this recently reconstructed restaurant is such a contrast that it feels a little like entering a theatre set. The décor might be described as Caledonian gothic, exemplified by wallpaper with giant thistle motifs on a…
La Lanterna
35 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 6AE
For almost four decades, the Martinolli family have been serving up traditional Italian cuisine in their attractive, cavernous restaurant beneath the otherwise unedifying, traffic-choking Hope Street. The décor has remained almost untouched – a warm…
The Living Room
113–115 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
As the Edinburgh representative of a 13-branch national chain, the Living Room fits snugly into George Street's plush aesthetic. A busy bar leads into a vast dining area, hemmed in by brown leather booths and backlit drapes. Soft browns and beiges run…
The Living Room
150 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5NE
Slightly adrift from the hub of the city centre, this stylish bar and restaurant pulls in a mix of fashionable twentysomethings and corporate diners on expense accounts. It's dark and moody inside, the long rectangular space divided between cocktail bar…
Lombardi's Ristorante Grill
Unit 4/5, Merchant Square, Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
With more than a half-dozen eateries vying for customers in the Merchant Square, the competition can be a bit fierce at the renovated market – now a dining and entertainment destination in the heart of the Merchant City. Previously a French restaurant…
Malmaison
278 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4LL
The Malmaison chain of boutique hotels is renowned for updating grand old venues, and Glasgow's branch is no exception, with the tower of this Greek-style former Episcopalian church shooting dizzingly upwards from the oversized front door. The hushed…
