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…
57–61 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Spanking new Monteiths brings a touch of glitz and glamour to this section of the Royal Mile, more commonly associated with pubs and tourist attractions. The entrance is down a vine-arched and lit alleyway next to Moubray House, at the bottom of which…
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…
Olive Branch Bistro
91 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RX
Broughton Street is not lacking in places to eat, so any restaurant looking to make its mark has to offer great food with an atmosphere to match. The Olive Branch has both in spades. In a compact, almost post-industrial-style setting, candle-lit tables…
Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
More urbane than urban, this bustling Hanover Street basement is an ever-popular choice, and it's easy to see why. With simple prints on the white walls, solid pine furniture and flock-printed menus, the aesthetic lends the restaurant a cool…
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…
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…
45 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4AZ
Occupying a prime location on a busy corner of Morningside Road, Blue Glass, with its crisp blue and white décor and relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, brings a hint of the Mediterranean to Edinburgh's Southside. Café by day and bistro by night, it…
Pani Solińska
73 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Pani Solinska is Polish for 'Mrs Solinska'. Dorothy Nowak-Solinska took over Broughton Street landmark Café Mediterraneo last year, but before putting her name above the door in spring 2008 took some time to design a restaurant she could be proud of.
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…
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…
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…
Negociants
45–47 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
Long established as a late-night eatery for nighthawk students and Edinburgh festival-goers (the Teviot and Udderbelly venues are just across the road), Negociants has recently been taken over by members of staff and was implementing various changes at…
The New Bell
233 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PH
This Southside restaurant above the Old Bell bar has cemented a reliable reputation over the years with a friendly atmosphere and welcoming staff. Its well-rounded menu will suit all tastes and it offers a selection of staple children's favourites on…
Malmaison Brasserie
1 Tower Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7DB
This boutique chain hotel restaurant has its own separate entrance, and as you go inside you are thrust from the sunshine of Leith waterside into a dark, enveloping atmosphere. It's more like a gentleman's club, with studded leather armchairs, leather…
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.
The Shore Bar & Restaurant
3 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QW
The venerable and much-loved Shore Bar & Restaurant was taken over by immediate neighbours Fishers in the spring of 2008. The Shore has one of Edinburgh's most appealing old interiors, its separate bar and restaurant areas both featuring extensive dark…
Bisque Bar & Brasserie
Bruntsfield Hotel, 69 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HH
The Bisque Bar & Brasserie of the Bruntsfield Hotel has been reborn following a massive renovation. The smaller bar area at the entrance leads into a very spacious, light and airy restaurant area with an appropriately pale-coloured décor. Breakfast is…
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…
Urban Angel
1 Forth Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JS
More urbane than urban, this bustling Hanover Street basement is an ever-popular choice, and it's easy to see why. With simple prints on the white walls, solid pine furniture and flock-printed menus, the aesthetic lends the restaurant a cool…
Whighams Wine Cellars
13 Hope Street, Charlotte Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4EL
Tucked away only feet from the madding crowds of Princes Street, Whighams is a venue with something of a split personality. The original, cave-like wine bar continues to excel at tempting the after-work crowd with its extensive wine list, while 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…
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…
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…
