Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
The Arts Café tries to be all things to all people, and more or less succeeds. For local workers, it's a reasonably-priced haven at lunchtime, both for sit-in and take-away. With tasty home-made soup and a roll coming in at under £2, and a plethora of…
Baraka
3-5 Infirmary Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1LT
This Infirmary Street restaurant has undergone several changes of identity in recent years. Now operating under the name of Baraka, the venture appears to be attempting to be all things to all bon viveurs, with a spacious bar-restaurant offering several…
Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AN
A low curtain shields the interior of this high-ceilinged, low-lit room from the eyes of passers-by. Inside, however, a slightly raised timber floor allows diners to look into the street. It's a clever touch that makes guests feel slightly superior to…
B'est
16 Drummond Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9TX
They might not set the culinary heather alight, but sautéed garlic mushrooms on French toast are sometimes exactly the sort of thing you want. Innovation is all well and good, but occasionally you just need the classic combination of garlic and butter.
Bigos
277 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
With its honest home-cooking, Bigos, the capital's first Polish restaurant, has set the bar high for any competition. Brothers Tadeusz and Dariusz Krzysiak named the place after their national dish (a stew of sauerkraut, meat and mushrooms), and, with…
Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
This neighbourhood restaurant is deservedly popular and has a welcoming and homely feel. The dining room is simply furnished with light furniture and wooden floors, and has a relaxed ambience which acts as the perfect backdrop to the carefully prepared…
Bombay Feast
32 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall,
Edinburgh,
Don't be put off the Feast's seemingly less-than-central location; it's known for its speedy delivery service locally. Added to this, the chef is more than happy to adapt dishes to cater for allergies or taste, so if you like your curry with a bit of…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
Although hidden in a side street in something of a Southside dining no man's land, this little restaurant does a roaring trade from lunchtime till late. Bonsai's owners, Andrew and Noriko Ramage, offer a wide range of authentic Japanese dishes at very…
Brazilian Sensation
117-119 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Brazilian Sensation may be of modest size with a laid-back café ambience, but it's a place of unique culinary delights. The lunch menu features a wide selection of hot snacks, organic rolls and baguettes at bargain prices, as well as some invigorating…
Café DeLos and Café Soupson
National Museum of Scotland, 2 Chambers Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JF
One of Edinburgh's most popular attractions, the National Museum of Scotland, has not one but two cafés to offer visitors. If you're looking for something informal and child-friendly, head for Café Soupson at the rear of the building. There you'll find…
Café Lucia
Festival Theatre, 13-29 Nicolson Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9FT
With its giant windows facing out onto Nicolson Street, Café Lucia is a great place to people watch. Or you can turn your back on the world and find out what's coming up at the Festival Theatre courtesy of the large, but silent, TV screen. Situated on…
Café Newton
Dean Gallery, 73 Belford Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH4 3DS
Unlike its sister cafés at the Modern Art and Portrait Galleries, the Dean Gallery café offers table service. Dining here is a rather more sophisticated affair than at the other galleries, with dark wooden walls, mirrors and high-backed Mackintosh-style…
Café North
North Edinburgh Arts Centre, 15a Pennywell Court, Muirhouse,
Edinburgh,
EH4 4TZ
If Café North was in the centre of Edinburgh, you would be fighting to get a table. So perfect is it for family lunches, every toddler in town would treat it like a second home. In reality, North Edinburgh Arts Centre (NEAC) is a little off the beaten…
Café Royal Circle Bar
19 West Register Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
In this fickle, post-modern age, traditions are too often cast aside in the name of progress or mimicked without any real acknowledgement of their value. There are places where traditions are upheld, and done so in with class. The Café Royal Circle Bar…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
It's impossible to miss Chop Chop's bright yellow and red façade, and the décor inside is equally vibrant. The practical tables, paper napkins and simple Chinese art are subtle hints that perhaps the food is this venue's major draw. Guidance notes on…
La Concha
18-24 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
Stockbridge's La Concha needs no introduction to its many fans, and now that owner Richard Morana has knocked through the wall to double the size of his formerly tiny restaurant, there's room for many more. Cool new décor in muted monochrome adds gloss…
Cornerstone Café
St John's Church, 3 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4BJ
Having a reputation can be a bittersweet thing. Some rest on laurels while others strive to change public perceptions. There has been a café in the space underneath St John's church for as long as anyone can remember and its reputation of being a…
Creelers
3 Hunter Square, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QW
It's hard to know what else owner Tim James can do to demonstrate his commitment to the culinary arts. He oversees the curing and smoking of all his fish from personally-selected Isle of Arran fishermen and even sets out on his own boat, Margaret Eliza…
La Cuchara Negra
3 Grove Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AF
La Cuchara Negra (the black spoon) has been something of a work in progress since it opened in spring 2006, and with lunchtime trading planned for mid-2007, this tiny Latin American restaurant is showing it has a big heart. There's no trace of a tacky…
David Bann Vegetarian Restaurant
56-58 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
Shunning the bohemian stereotype of vegetarianism in favour of minimalist, grown-up sophistication, David Bann's recently refurbished restaurant arguably appeals more to yuppies than hippies. However, despite sleek surroundings, snappy service and…
Dolce e Salato
101/102 Dalry Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AX
Goethe once said that a man who has seen Naples can never be sad. Dolce e Salato, Rosario and Maria Sartore's new Pasticceria e Rosticceria in Dalry, transports each of its visitors to a very happy corner of Naples and invites them to linger over a…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
If you appreciate the honest virtue of pub grub but hanker after something a little more cosmopolitan, you'll love Ecco Vino. Billed as a wine bar, this intimate Cockburn Street hang-out is distinctly continental. In fact, with its earthy menu of…
Efes
42 Leven Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LJ
This kebab shop is such a Tollcross institution it seems as if it has been around since the beginning of time. The staff are always polite and helpful, although this doesn't matter in the slightest to the shop's many loyal customers, who come for the…
Empires
24 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SU
It's hard to define Empires, a Turkish café-cum-ceramic shop, but this quirky, chaotic little place has an exotic charm all of its own. Downstairs, an eclectic mix of artworks, wall-hangings, ceramics and trinkets bathe in the glow of colourful…
The Engine Shed Cafe
19 St Leonard's Lane, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
In 1989, a disused shed from the Innocents Railway was turned into what is now the Garvald-run Engine Shed - a spacious, airy building with a friendly, community atmosphere, home to a number of initiatives that provide training and work for adults with…
