1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,

18 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,

26 William Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
Happily roosting under Teuchters bar on upmarket William Street, A Room in the West End shares many a trait with its older New Town sibling – not least its focus on modern Scottish cookery. The option to BYOB also runs in the family, making both popular…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street,
Glasgow,

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 Apartment
7–13 Barclay Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HW
This landmark Tollcross diner has been putting style and ambience at the heart of the eating experience for nearly ten years now. Lights are dimmed to seductive levels, with funky beats gently reverberating through the multi-annexed floor space. Staff…
Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7NR

Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
This time-honoured Glasgow outpost is tucked away from the main streets but easily found opposite the Charing Cross train station entrance. For a classic bar-brasserie, the place is pretty much perfect – candles flicker on wooden tables, mirrors adorn…
Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
At first glance, this is just a simple diner tucked away around the corner from the King's Theatre, but further investigation reveals Backstage Bistro as a venue with a distinct personality. Its location, for a start, means that its pre-theatre dining…
The Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill
167 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4LS
For a nine-year-old, the Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill does an impressive job of feigning maturity. An old-fashioned pub exterior gives way to a smokily-lit, cosy bar where vintage mirrors and old photographs cover the dark walls, giving the place a…
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 Bola
144 Park Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HB
Gibson Street and the northern, leafy fringes of Kelvingrove Park are on the doorstep of Bar Bola, a quirky venue that straddles the divide between student hangout and local style bar. Despite its idiosyncrasy, this ever-popular destination is often…
Bar MC
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
This basement venue in the swish ABode Hotel was formerly known as Michael Caines Café Bar. It was rebranded in October 2007, but not too much has changed: Bar MC incorporates both a family-friendly restaurant (where under fives eat free) and a…

Edinburgh,

Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
Situated on a large traffic island outside the Victoria Royal Infirmary, this former tram terminus is indeed an odd location for one of the Southside's better restaurants. The building has been a landmark for nearly a century, with a clock tower and…
La Bavarde
19 New Kirk Road,
Glasgow,
G61 3SJ
It's never the easiest thing to takeover a 30-year local favourite. But the team behind Mulberry’s (see Scottish) is spring-cleaning this formerly Franco/Italian-oriented nook of Bearsden Cross to very popular effect with a cheery, rustic-style bistro.
Bibi's Cantina
