Absolute Thai
22 Valleyfield Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9LR
Tucked behind the King's Theatre, Absolute Thai is a hidden gem. Admittedly, first impressions may be a little less generous – the aesthetic is certainly skewed more towards unpretentious café than exclusive dining. However, this friendly, family-run…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 6LL
On entering Ad Lib, there’s no doubt where the influences lie; from the vast New York street scene on the bar wall to the excellent range of bourbons, the American accent is strong. The granddaddy of the Glasgow gourmet burger joints, Ad Lib…
The Admiral
72a Waterloo Street, Glasgow, G2 7DA
The Admiral has long been an unsung vehicle for the local music scene. Sitting just deep enough within Glasgow's side streets to offer some kind of momentary escape from the city's immediate hustle and bustle, the basement venue area regularly plays…
Alla Turca Alla Turca
192 Pitt Street, Glasgow, G2 4DY
Alla Turca has a brightly lit contemporary interior, with glass tables, padded leather chairs and the odd scatter cushion adding a touch of haremic luxury. It has a pleasant, even sophisticated atmosphere – the walls are hung with pictures from Turkey…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2RQ
In the perfect spot for a bite to eat before the flicks or after the shops, Amalfi has transformed over the past few years from an old-fashioned Italian café to an inviting, upmarket diner. One narrow room, the glass frontage and visible kitchen lend…
Amore Amore
6 Shuttle Street (Corner of Ingram Street), Glasgow, G1 1QA
Located in a dull corner of the Merchant City, Amore briskly caters for workers and shoppers by day and is a good choice for families and work nights out with its generous space and cheerful informality. The central round booth is particularly handy…
Anatolia Chargrill
140 St Vincent St, Glasgow, G2 5LA
Anatolia (named after a Turkish region) consists of a large light space, on two levels and a bar area with giant ottoman-style cushions. It is all decorated with rustic murals, ceramics and beautiful carpet wall hangings. This is no kebab shop, there…
Ann Purna
45 St Patrick's Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9ET
Having undergone a makeover in 2008, the white tablecloths, lace curtains and doilies that once gave Ann Purna the air of a 1950s living room have been replaced by an unfussy but smart, contemporary décor. The cosy St Patrick’s Square restaurant still…
Arcaffe
7 North Claremont Street, Glasgow, G3 7NR
Frequented by office workers who disdain the trend for a quick bite at one’s desk, Arcaffe’s kitchen serves up hefty portions of proper food, providing somewhat of a challenge to clear the plate. It’s a quiet, comfortable café with fresh, neutral décor…
Assam’s
57 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 2AE
This popular newcomer last year has quite literally taken a step up for 2011, with owner Assam Rashid moving his basement eatery to a street-level site two doors along. And it’s a lovely venue, with lots of daylight coming in through windows with…
Athena Greek Taverna
1116 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TD
There's a pedigree to this restaurant, as the co-owner Kevin Campbell, comes from a family that's been serving Greek food to Glaswegians for generations. The current taverna is a rebirth of the former Strathbungo bistro, sadly missed by mousakka…
Babylon Café
Clyde Place, Glasgow, G5 8AQ
This new Persian and Middle Eastern venture sits with an Indian curry house to its left and an Egyptian restaurant to the right – which sort of makes sense in world terms. It's nothing fancy inside – clean, crisp lines and tables hugging the walls on…
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1PB
The Baked Potato Shop has gained legendary status for keeping the crowds on the Royal Mile well-fed during the month of August. But it isn’t just during the summer that they’re busy. Crisp-skinned and fluffy inside, the potatoes are served in small…
Balbir's Balbir's
7 Church Street, Glasgow, G11 5JP
Balbir Sumal is a stalwart of the Glasgow Indian dining scene and can still be found using his experience to oversee matters at his eponymous West End branch of his restaurant group. Attention to detail and a determination to keep Indian cuisine…
Banana Leaf
76B Old Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G3 8RE
Banana Leaf’s parent West End branch can be found in fairly unassuming premises on the city’s Old Dumbarton Road. The unpretentious look continues inside this restaurant offering south Indian cuisine, with paper cups and a jug of water already on the…
The Bank The Bank Café Bar
443 Clarkston Road, Glasgow, G44 3LL
Part of the Maclay Inn’s chain, this former bank has been nicely refurbished with solid wood and leather furnishings and a chrome-topped bar. Crane your neck to see the detailed cornicing and dramatic domed rooflight. There’s a good selection of draft…
Bar 50
50 Blackfriars Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1NE
Edinburgh's Smart City Hostel is in the heart of the Old Town and offers budget accommodation for visitors and students. Bar 50 is their popular restaurant and drinking den sited in an expansive basement that opens out onto the Cowgate (with some…
Bar Gambrino
372–374 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HT
It is worth taking the time to trawl through Bar Gambrino’s extensive drinks list. Although its sheer length may leave some drinkers flummoxed, there is truly something to suit every taste including rarities such as the Argentine brew Quilmes, or a…
Bar Milano
2 Mains Avenue, Eastwood Toll, Glasgow, G46 6QZ
From its pleasantly neutral décor and friendly service to the suburban location, Bar Milano ticks all the boxes for a comfortable neighbourhood trattoria. It’s housed in a converted bank but where such buildings often possess a cold grandeur, the…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs, Glasgow, G1 1NP
From business suits to groups of students, Bar 91 is as non-pretentious a venue as you get in the Merchant City. Clearly a local for many, its red velvet curtains and dimly lit décor, as well as a smattering of disco balls and a TV fireplace, make it…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4RA
Set among a clutch of West End style bars, Bar Roma has packed its bright, roomy interior for three decades – seemingly without too much effort. The large, kitsch, plastic tree helps set a vibe that's low in pretension and high in conviviality; often…
Barbarossa
Cartside House, 1–7 Clarkston Road, Glasgow, G44 4EF
The welcome here tells you that these people care about your evening. The décor, like the service is smart, crisp and metropolitan. The restaurant is out of town but near Cathcart railway station, so do come by train in order to take advantage of the…
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, Glasgow, G1 3JN
Eating at Barca Tapas and Cava bar, situated in the upmarket Princes Square mall, is a classy experience. If you can, grab a table on the terrace which overlooks the light and bright shopping centre and browse the impressive menu. The calamari with…
Barioja
15-19 Jeffrey Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DR
The older establishment of the burgeoning Edinburgh tapas bar scene, Barioja remains a popular and central destination for diners looking for quick snacks or an evening meal. Its red-hued interior is fresh and modern, and makes a centre-piece of a…
The Bath Street Pony
207 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 4HZ
Since its arrival in 2009 the Pony has built up its reputation as a worthy addition to the cool bars on the Bath Street strip. It does a roaring trade in pre-theatre meals in the 5–7pm timeslot – at other times you can order Scottish and Mediterranean…
