Rivage
126–130 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RJ
Owner and head chef Ryad Meeajane oversees this stylish Easter Road restaurant from behind the open tandoor oven counter while wife and co-owner Catherine runs an efficient and informative front of house. Attention to detail stretches from preparation…
Tanjore
6–8 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9HX
Relative newcomer Tanjore brings a wealth of south Indian cuisine to its Newington locale, wrapped up in a friendly and relaxed café setting. Owner and head chef Boon Ganeshram switches between open kitchen and compact dining area, describing tapas…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get a…
Kim's Korean Meals
5 Buccleuch Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JN
Kim’s serves simple wholesome Korean meals just as Mrs Kim would prepare for her own family, with jaunty décor, tiny dimensions and ornate floral chinaware adding to the homely atmosphere. A helpful little photo album explains each dish in full colour.
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BX
In the mini Middle Eastern pocket growing around Edinburgh's Mosque, which began with Kebab Mahal and Jordan Valley and continues with the newly added Mosque Kitchen and Nawroz, Beirut adds Lebanese food to the mix. Owner Ahmed Saadi opened in 2010, and…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
Forget Ikea: this is where you’ll find the best meatballs in town. They're more of a hearty sausage shape than a ball here: get them cut up in pasta or squeezed into a ciabatta for a chin-dripping panini – but whatever you do, get them. With just a…
Phuket Pavilion
8 Union Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3LU
Veteran restaurateur Bill Parkinson has been in the business for 46 years and it shows. Service is a speciality: he wants people to relax while they eat. If you’re enjoying his pre-theatre menu before heading across the road to the Playhouse you might…
Howies (Victoria Street)
10–14 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HG
Long time favourite on the Edinburgh dining scene, the Howies Restaurants group has waxed and waned over the years. Now operating from two locations, their Victoria Street operation, close by the Royal Mile, is well placed for tourists and locals alike.
Origano
277 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
Leith Walk is rich with Italian restaurants vying for a share of the passing custom in this busy part of town, so it was a brave move of Simon Fletcher and Dominik Blicharski to open Origano on a shoestring in mid-2011. The pair are aiming to bring a…
Broughton Delicatessen
7 Barony Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6PD
It’s rare for a café to try so hard to be all things to all people and not overstretch itself. Broughton Delicatessen doesn’t disappoint, though, with its front shop selling take-out snacks like baguettes, grilled sandwiches and crepes alongside cakes…
L'escargot Bleu
56 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SA
The justly popular L’escargot Bleu generates an air of welcome as you enter the bright, airy rooms one flight up on Broughton Street. The buzz feels embracing rather than exclusive, as much coming from the patrons as the proprietors. Co-owners Betty…
Sweet Melindas
11 Roseneath Street,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JH
Sweet Melindas is the very definition of cosy neighbourhood hangout. The one-room Marchmont restaurant’s white-painted wooden panelling, found black-and-white photographs and shelves of assorted bric-a-brac lend it a quaint but pleasant ambience, and…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
Since coming under new management in late 2011 this small bistro on the edge of Leith Links has been spruced up and dusted down. The atmosphere is casual and the welcome friendly, and as for the food, it puts many pricier city centre places to shame.
Leo's Beanery
23a Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TF
While it’s not unusual for a New Town café to go the extra distance in terms of befriending its regulars, Leo’s Beanery’s young owners Joe and Marie Denby have really stamped their personality on the place, right down to the photos of their family which…
A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TG
A Room in the Town claims to be the place that ‘started it all’. ‘It’ is using quality Scottish produce to produce excellent eating at reasonable prices. Oh, and in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere too. Nearly 15 years on, this Room is still bang on…
Iman's
4–6 Lochrin Buildings, Gilmore Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NB
Sitting across from the King's Theatre, Iman’s delivers hearty Punjabi fare with a sociable BYOB vibe. The restaurant splits into two rooms of randomly pebble-dashed sandy walls, driftwood ceilings and agreeable lighting set against the background hum…
Cuthberts Coffee & Bistro
94a Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QA
Housed in the ground floor of an elegant B-listed building (the former St Cuthbert’s Co-Operative Society headquarters, from which the café takes its name), the converted frontage of Cuthberts is impressive. Huge plate glass windows mean the morning…
Rocksalt Café Deli
46 Constitution Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RS
In recent years owner Callum Morrison has established a strong local reputation for café Rocksalt and its sister deli, Relish, just round the corner. Although the departure of talented chef Craig Long has been felt, Morrison is keen to move forward and…
Wannaburger
7–8 Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PA
Wanna burger? Then head down to the West End for belly-filling burgers, hot dogs, milkshakes and ice-cream sundaes. Make no mistake: fine dining this is not, but if what you’re looking for is superior fast food of a quality and price that put the chains…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PG
After the dubious-looking shared entranceway with its faded carpets and dirty walls, the restaurant at the top of the stairs is a surprisingly bright, clean and welcoming place. It does double-duty on the service front, offering a set price buffet at…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
A cheery atmosphere awaits in a Room in the West End in the basement under Teuchters pub in William Street. With its red walls, chunky furniture and three wee booths at the back if you want a bit of privacy, the style is informal. Here you’ll find…
McKirdy's Steakhouse
151 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AG
While certain steakhouses have moved elegantly into more upmarket pastures, McKirdy's continues with its proven formula unchanged. In a modest setting on Morrison Street, it’s all about the meat, not the décor. Delivering consistent quality beef…
A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LU
With its prime waterfront setting, complete with large wooden conservatory, outdoor dining terrace and even a small floating pontoon, the Leith outpost of the 'A Room In …' chain is a busy and buzzing destination. There is more than a little European…
Bluerapa Thai
6 Torphichen Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DU
Bluerapa Thai sits in the Haymarket area of Edinburgh and is a recently opened (2011) restaurant and takeaway. Run by the former owners of Chiang Mai, the jovial dining area has lime green walls, ruby lamps and teak furniture and there’s a popular BYOB…
Malvarosa
262 Portobello High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2AT
Until recently, Portobello's links to Spain were pretty much limited to its name and a strip of sand. Madrid native Alvaro Bernabeu opened Malvarosa’s doors in 2011, and has gained an enthusiastic following since. Greeting guests with a wry smile and…
