The Abbotsford
3 Rose Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PR
Many of Edinburgh’s traditional, independent pubs have disappeared in recent years, replaced by heavily branded chains. So, when a perennial favourite remains untouched, it must be doing something right. The Abbotsford continues to offer amicable…
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…
Amicus Apple
17 Frederick Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2EY
For five years now, Amicus Apple has been the preferred venue of many for after-work cocktails. The bar, which also has outdoor seating, is decked out with comfortable sofas and bright lighting to help overcome its subterranean feel without detracting…
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…
Amore Dogs
104 Hanover Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DR
The first sight that greets diners is a huge picture of Botticelli’s Birth of Venus with the goddess replaced by a giant dog's head. It’s one of many homages to the owner David Ramsden’s beloved pets that inspired his dog-themed restaurants. Blond-wood…
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…
Appetite Direct
42 Howe Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6TH
Most of Appetite Direct’s business is outside catering, from small private dinners to weddings and gallery openings. So it follows that their shop is no run-of-the mill deli. It’s a wonder what they produce from the small kitchen every day: several…
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…
The Arches Café Bar & Restaurant
253 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8DL
This venue seems to offer something for everyone – renowned clubbing for late-night revellers, theatre productions for the culture vultures and a small accomplished restaurant for the foodies. Located downstairs from the main entrance, a funky bar with…
Aspen Bar and Grill
66–67 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1LS
Since the previous owner left to concentrate on his political career, John Watt has taken on this established business as chef-proprietor, and changes are still in the offing. Attracting and students – who enjoy discounts – and city centre workers…
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…
The Auld Hoose
23–25 St Leonards Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9QN
If the key to a successful pub is being different, the Auld Hoose is guaranteed to thrive. The bare wooden floors, neutral walls and central bar all point to an atmosphere that is repeated across the city – but, on closer inspection, this place differs…
Avoca Bar & Grill
4-6 Dean Street, Edinburgh, EH4 1LW
Just a few steps from the hurly burly of Stockbridge, Avoca attracts more drinkers than diners during the week but normally sees that trend reversed at weekends. A traditional wooden bar is the centrepiece, with stools, settees and a couple of window…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens, Glasgow, G2 4NQ
Just a few short steps from Charing Cross station, the Baby Grand is by day mainly filled with office workers and commuters who do lunch and coffee in the long thin room, but by night the mood changes to a more leisurely vibe as the pianist takes over.
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…
Bacchus
80 Glassford Street, Glasgow, G1 1UR
Weekends are busy at this Merchant City bar, catering for the post-work and pre-club crowd. The interior is stylish, with comfy low cushioned benches, bar stools and standard tables offering seating options to suit your night. Be careful to arrive…
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 Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NY
This stylish little bar upstairs from Café Gandolfi is something of a hidden gem, and the management like to keep it that way by advertising mostly by word of mouth. There simply isn’t space for more than a handful of diners and drinkers, around the…
Bar MC and Grill
129 Bath Street, Glasgow, G2 2SZ
Entering the basement grill of the ABode hotel for the first time you might imagine that you’ve stumbled accidentally into the nightclub. The cocktail lounge is a glitzy mirrored affair and the club atmosphere is enhanced at weekends when DJs might be…
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…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU
Tucked next to the Lighthouse, the popular bar serves a wide range of South East Asian fusion food that’s proved a hit with the pre-clubbing crowd. The ground floor bar area and downstairs restaurant space share a cool functional design with booths…
Bar Ten
10 Mitchell Lane, Glasgow, G1 3NU
Bar Ten’s style is trendy but effortless. Fairy lights are dotted about the bar and a high ceiling makes it feel spacious. Metal benches and tiled walls give it an almost industrial feel too. Celebrating its 20th birthday in 2011, the bar remains a…
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 Basement Bar and Restaurant
10–12a Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3RH
While the bustle of city life proceeds at street level, down below, and largely hidden from view, drinkers in this traditional bar sip beers from around the world, whether it’s the local Innis & Gunn or far-travelled favourites Corona and Tiger.
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…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road, Glasgow, G42 9JL
From outside this tardis-like attractive former tram shelter, has more tables than you'd imagine, and a cosy atmosphere when busy, which it frequently is. The ambitious menu is large and starters include crêpes, salads and bruschettas as well as…
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9BX
Welcome to Edinburgh’s first Lebanese restaurant, which has a sleek modern interior, scenic views adorning the walls and the cream of Beirut’s music scene on the plasma screen. Sourcing Lebanese ingredients from suppliers in London, all dishes are…
Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow, G41 3YR
From the street Bella Napoli looks like a run-of-the-mill Italian deli, but discerning food lovers know that through the back, past the racks of wine and tins of olives, is a reliable restaurant of some worth. While the front cafe offers casual…
Bellini
67 Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow, G41 3YR
Formerly known as Bacco Italia, Lucca Staiano has taken over ownership of the restaurant from his brother. Wooden tables and red upholstery give Bellini a smart, warm feel. The service is warm too, and the kitchen's ambitions don't stop at pizzas and…
Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5AN
If you're looking for proper quality fast food; plump and juicy burgers that sing with sweetness and steaming piles of chips, if you’re looking for a cosy restaurant with battered wooden furniture and soft lighting that exudes warmth and friendliness…
Bennets Bar
8 Leven Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9LG
Established in 1875, Bennets feels reassuringly as if little has changed in over a century. This is not the place to come looking for lattes, cocktails or wi-fi. It is most definitely somewhere to come and see the original Victorian fittings of the…
Bennets of Morningside
1 Maxwell Street, Edinburgh, EH10 5FT
Not to be confused with the establishment of the same name located on Leven Street, this Bennets Bar is to be found on Maxwell Street in Morningside. With the same owners as The Cumberland Bar, Bennets is another very traditional pub specialising in…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street, Glasgow, G1 1SS
Merchant City deli-café and wine merchant Berits & Brown – part of a UK franchise but independently managed – could give a few small bistros a run for their money with its range, scale and quality of food and beverages. Space is very limited with…
B'est
16 Drummond Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9TX
Tucked around the corner from the Festival Theatre, B’est is one of those 'you know it or you don’t' type places. Unsurprisingly, due to its location and set-menu pricing structure it’s been discovered and nurtured by university students and staff. Due…
Bia Bistrot
19 Colinton Road, Edinburgh, EH10 5DP
Bia Bistrot is the brainchild of Franco-Irish couple Matthias and Roisin Llorente, who bring their experience of cooking in top flight (including Michelin-starred) kitchens around the world to this cosy but classic Edinburgh bistro. Their passion and…
