Biblos
1 Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HR
Located close to the university, Biblos tends to be dominated by members of Edinburgh's student population. The venue has recently undergone a revamp: curtains, comfy armchairs and bright lampshades now lend the space a contemporary, clubby feel. The…
David Bann
56–58 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
The luscious David Bann's is the smartly dressed uncle of the vegetarian scene, striding forward with a sophisticated menu and without a hippy in sight. Its well-deserved reputation is based on the quality of its ingredients, its creativity and its…
Mosque Kitchen
Edinburgh Central Mosque, 50 Potterrow,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BT
Mosque Kitchen is a singular dining experience, satisfying a very diverse clientele from all walks of life, staff and students from the nearby university and Muslim families. It's located in the Southside under a corrugated iron canapé at the back of…
Oddfellows
14 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QN
Oddfellows is housed inside a beautiful building, which has been transformed into a student-friendly refectory by the Festival Inns chain. There are no booths or romantic nooks in this place, and you're unlikely to want to gaze into the eyes of another…
The Street
2 Picardy Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JT
At the corner of Picardy Place, right on the apex of Edinburgh's 'pink triangle' is the Street, a sociable, gay-friendly bar that also serves up tasty grub. It's shaped like a fishbowl, the wide glass walls and tall stools allowing guests to see and be…
Basement Bar
10a–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
Situated below busy Broughton Street, The Basement is a lively little bistro where staff dressed in Hawaiian shirts often greet you at the door. Inside, tall gothic candles and 80s retro décor set the tone of fun, casual dining. The menu, which changes…
The Canon's Gait
232 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DQ
The Canon's Gait boasts an impressively grand entrance on the Royal Mile, which carries a plaque detailing the history of the pub and the surrounding area. Inside, clean cream walls house a relaxed bar area dotted with large circular tables and a low…
Avoca
4–6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
This is a bar that knows exactly what it's doing when it comes to food. It's not attempting to be a bistro: it's emphatically a bar and loves being a bar. Taste is everything in this little relaxing snug; music and chat don't intrude on your dining and…
The Blue Parrot Cantina
49 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AH
The Blue Parrot isn't a place that shouts about itself. From the road outside, there are few signs that this compact restaurant exists at all. If there was a prize for subtlety, this place would win hands down. It doesn't even do garish wall mounts or…
Howies
10–14 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HG
This excellent value restaurant chain is now an Edinburgh institution and deservedly so. There are four restaurants, conveniently situated in the four areas of the compass of central Edinburgh. Waterloo Place, in the east, has been recently renovated…
The Stand Comedy Club
5 York Place, Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
For ten years mirth-seekers have delved beneath York Place in search of something to tickle their ribs and split their sides – and the hugely successful comedy club has provided just that. To accompany the Thursday to Saturday night line-ups, a…
Susie's Diner
51–53 West Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DB
Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh's studentville, Susie's Diner straddles the border between student grub and higher-end café. On the one hand, the menu is a doodled board, with food served up in a manner that's more institutional canteen than 'diner'.
Filmhouse Café Bar
88 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BZ
It is rare thing these days to find a place to eat that truly serves a purpose and functions without pretension, unnecessary frills or ideas above its station. The Filmhouse Bar has fulfilled such a role in Edinburgh for over 20 years, providing a…
Mamma's American Pizza Company
30 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
The Grassmarket may have a reputation as a focal point for stags and hens, but Mamma's is firmly family-friendly and pointedly opposed to such rowdiness. Inside, it is buzzing with parents and kids alike having a good time. The cartoon murals of various…
Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AN
Sometimes going out to eat isn't a grand affair. Serving those who are simply satisfied with a big burger and chips in an easy-going environment, Bell's Diner has proved popular with the punters since 1972. National Geographic people photos deck the…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
The casual, laid-back atmosphere of Ecco Vino is rarely achieved elsewhere in the capital. The chatter of the patrons and the clatter of the glasses encourage you to take a seat, take a menu, and take a glass . . . or a bottle. The wine list is as…
The Forest
3 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EY
Rather like Doctor Who's Tardis, The Forest café's exterior gives no hint of the space to be found within. The large back room is a real jumble, full of comfy sofas, mismatched tables and chairs, and a worn game of Pictionary perching haphazardly atop a…
Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…
The Gallery Restaurant and Bar
Weston Link, National Galleries of Scotland, The Mound,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EL
Given its position directly under two of Edinburgh's most iconic buildings, at the centre of Princes Street and overlooking the gardens, the Gallery really needn't have been all that good to ensure regular custom. Happily, head chef Scott Brodowski has…
Monster Mash
4a Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QN
With its black and white décor, tomato-shaped ketchup bottles and 'happy days are here again', catchphrase, stepping into Monster Mash feels like going back to the 1950s. It's popular with pub-goers, university students and families, and there's a…
Cloisters
26 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
Occasionally, there's a short wait for chips at this Tollcross pub. It's nothing to do with bad service, though: the chef just needs freshly to peel more spuds. Great care is taken over the daily changing bar meal menu, which now includes extra dishes…
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 Fruitmarket Gallery Café
Fruitmarket Gallery, 45 Market Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DF
Many who regularly drop into this contemporary gallery housed in an old Victorian fruit and vegetable market don't make it past the ground floor café, such is the singular draw of the food. With a dedication to fresh produce and menu choices, lunch can…
