The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
Despite the name, this is a family-run business and not part of Harlequin Leisure's Ashoka chain. It was also one of the four establishments to represent Glasgow when the city won the title of curry capital of the UK in 2006. Owner Syrus Bavarsagh takes…
Aurora
Langs Hotel, 2 Port Dundas Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3LD
Although this place is only open two nights a week and is smaller than Langs' other restaurant, Oshi [see Far East], Aurora's menu is clearly no afterthought. The carefully presented range of ambitious dishes compensates for fairly bland surroundings on…
Aziza Café Bazaar
407 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
In early 2007, tiny Aziza Café Bazaar on Great Western Road moved to more spacious accommodation on the other side of Kelvin Bridge. The additional room allows charming owner Azmina Ali to up the ante on special event nights, which range from guest…
Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
Tucked into a quiet street in Tollcross behind the King's Theatre, this cosy little restaurant decorated with old movie posters is a popular choice with theatre and cinema-goers. Casablanca-born chef Hamouda el-Qmache and his wife Karla took over in…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
Beanscene
16 Cresswell Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8AA
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
110 Battlefield Road, Battlefield, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JT
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
1365 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AF
Scotland
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
19 Skirving Street Shawlands, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3AB
Scotland
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
1-3 Helena Place, Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside,
Glasgow,
G76 7RB
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…

Callander,
Stirlingshire,
FK17 8DX

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…
The Blue Parrot Cantina
49 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AH
There can't be many better-hidden eating places in Edinburgh; you could probably live around these parts for years without having any idea that this basement hideaway offers a warm and cosy environment where an unfussy range of spiced dishes are…
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…
Buffalo Grill
12-14 Chapel Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
The Wild West meets the east coast as the Buffalo Grill brings native Americans - a popular image on cigarette paraphernalia, which forms part of the decoration - up close with Edinburgh diners. In the Southside branch, the chow house rings with lively…
Buffalo Grill
1 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
The Wild West meets the east coast as the Buffalo Grill brings native Americans - a popular image on cigarette paraphernalia, which forms part of the decoration - up close with Edinburgh diners. In the Southside branch, the chow house rings with lively…
Café Cherubini
360 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HT
Much to the delight of locals who have long relied on Café Cherubini for sustenance, this traditional Italian coffee house has now re-opened after a recent face-lift. The new owner, Mark Barratt, is a musician and artist, so the place shouts 'Viva…
Camerons
Glasgow Hilton, 1 William Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G3 8HT
The Hilton's fine-dining restaurant is a sanctum of formal calm away from the concrete contortions and M8 traffic nearby, but there is little to remind diners they are in Glasgow. From middle-aged, moneyed couples, through Greco-Roman pillars and a live…
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…
Coconut Grove
3 Lochrin Terrace, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QJ
Two things strike you on entering the small, but perfectly formed Coconut Grove. First and most obvious is the pungent, tasty smell emanating from the kitchen; the second, less in your face, thing is the relaxed vibe. This place has built its reputation…
Coyaba
113 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
What better way to blot out a dreich Edinburgh evening than a sojourn to Scotland's first Jamaican restaurant? The bright décor, reggae soundtrack and well-stocked bar with its enticing cocktail selection are easily evocative of paradise, while, for…
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…
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…
Enjoy
393-395 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
The words 'COFFEE', 'FOOD' and 'DRINK' stretch across the floor-to-ceiling windows of this new café on Great Western Road, boldly, if unsurprisingly, summing up what is on offer inside. The handsome, understated interior is decorated in muted shades of…
Fanny Trollopes
1066 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8LY
Inconspicuously set amid a parade of shop fronts in Finnieston, Fanny Trollopes café bistro is the neighbourhood restaurant that everyone might wish they could stumble across. Solid wooden tables and chairs are intimately pushed together in a rather…
Fenwicks
15 Salisbury Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1SL
Enthusiastic new owners hope to spruce up this well-loved Southside establishment, which has been around for over a decade. There's not a lot of high-quality competition in the area, so regulars will be happy to know that, although a few teething…
The Forest
3 Bristo Place, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EY
As bland identikit bars and bistros proliferate around the capital, it's a comfort to know there are still a few scruffy, independent and idiosyncratic hang-outs like The Forest left in town. A self-funded artists' collective with a relaxed café run by…
Grassroots Café
93-97 St Georges Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6JA
With little separating guests from cooks, Grassroots rather resembles a farmhouse kitchen, where the chefs dart back and forth at the range in one corner while aromatic smells drift towards diners. Flagstone floors and wooden furniture add to the rustic…
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant
105-109 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH13 9AN
Great Wall's substantial frontage has been a feature of Lothian Road for the best part of two decades now. Its location in the heart of a busy area dominated by pubs and clubs is a double-edged sword - it's a popular choice for hungry revellers, but…
Hanam's
13a Brougham Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
A relatively recent addition to Edinburgh's culinary map, Hanam's already commands a loyal following, thanks to proprietor Jamal Ahmed, who works hard to create an authentic Kurdish dining experience. While this extends to dressing in Kurdish costume…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
The first thing you see when you step inside this delightful authentic Turkish restaurant is the grinning face of owner and chef Gursel Bahar in his open kitchen, radiating confidence throughout this tight little operation. A handful of tables are…
Howies
208 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DH
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Howies Restaurant and Bar
117 North Street,
St Andrews,
Fife,
KY16 9AD
Howies rarely varies from its tried and tested formula, and why should it? Well-stocked bars, café-style tables and menus with a mix of standard and novel dishes have served this Edinburgh-based mini-chain of Scottish restaurants well. This incarnation…
Howies
10-14 Victoria Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HG
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Howies at Waterloo
29 Waterloo Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3BQ
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Howies West End
1a Alva Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PH
This Edinburgh-borne 'chain' of restaurants is justifiably now a household name for reasonably-priced, good quality Scottish cuisine. With outlets near the Royal Mile, Southside and the East and West End (as well as in Aberdeen and St Andrew's) they are…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
With its floor-to-ceiling glass frontage onto Lothian Road, and its minimalist interior décor, Izzi has a cool atmosphere that is a little intimidating at first. However, once you're seated by brisk, friendly staff who are happy to explain the somewhat…
Jacques
8 Gillespie Place, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HS
Airs and graces and über-styled interiors are all well and good, but you've got to be in the mood for fuss. What every neighbourhood needs is a solid local bistro in which to shake off the working week and, leaving the glitz to the King's Theatre just a…
Jade Garden
303 Sauchiehall Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3HQ
The narrow stair up from Sauchiehall Street and the dark wood of the bar area gives no indication of the calm pastel décor that greets visitors to Jade Garden's dining room. Tables for two by the windows let customers watch the world go by in the street…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32 Grindlay Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Jasmine is a little piece of China reconstructed in the heart of Scotland's capital. While some Chinese restaurants have adapted their style to integrate into the local market, this cosy gem, established in the shadow of the Usher Hall for a decade now…
Kail Yard Green
599 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6HY
At one time every croft in Scotland would have its kail yard or vegetable patch - the very name of the restaurant itself hints at a dedication to imaginative Scots cuisine. Stark white painted walls and a fine selection of vivid paintings don't quite…
Kam Po
34 West Preston Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
A relative newcomer to the Edinburgh restaurant scene, Kam Po has set its standards pretty high. With beautifully fresh fare and service so attentive it borders on embarrassing, it's only a matter of time before news of this family-run Southside gem…
Katie's Diner
12 Barclay Terrace, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HP
It is possible to see the red and blue glow of Katie's Diner's neon sign from quite a distance. Sitting on the edge of Bruntsfield Links, behind Barclay Church, this small corner restaurant has a pleasing outlook over the Meadows. Inside, the tables are…
Khushi's
9 Victoria Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HE
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Khushi's has dropped its 'Original' tag and moved from its previous Potterrow location to grander, more spacious premises on Victoria Street. A huge crystal chandelier dominates the imposing staircase, while…
Kokuryo
1138 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TD
On a stretch of Argyle Street that seems perpetually about to burst into fashion (but never quite does), Kokuryo has quietly established itself as a bustling local diner. The fact that the 'neighbourhood' happens to be transformed into central Seoul is…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1ST
Walking into Kwok Brasserie is a disorienting experience. The menu is distinctly Chinese, the décor is reminiscent of a Parisian bistro and relaxed swing provides a slightly incongruous soundtrack. Somehow, whether by luck or good judgment, this…
Lanna Thai
32 Bridge Street, Musselburgh,
Edinburgh,
East Lothian,
EH21 6AG
Taking its name from an ancient northern Thai kingdom, this family-run restaurant goes beyond its native boundaries to offer a menu ranging from the hot gaeng par jungle curries of the remote, rural north, to the typically milder, coconut-laced gaeng…
Magda
6 Brougham Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9UH
A sweet, unassuming little neighbourhood favourite, Magda has captured the hearts of its Tollcross regulars since it opened in early 2006. Even midweek, the restaurant hums along at a nice pace, catering mostly to families and smaller groups. The…
Mariachi
Potterow, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BT
University heartland Potterow plays host to the newest of the Mariachi branches in Edinburgh and, by replacing Kushi's, one of Scotland's seminal Indian restaurants, it has a sizeable void to fill in the area. Thankfully, it's up to the task. Like its…
Masala Jak's
Unit D2 The Quay, Springfield Quay, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 8NP
Back in the great American goldrush of 1849, Jagir Singh (AKA Masala Jak), introduced the delights of Indian cuisine to the USA, and a legend was born. Now the Harlequin group has decided to mark his achievement by opening a fresh, fun new curry house…
McKirdy's the Steakhouse
151 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AG
It's a surprise to look out of the windows of McKirdy's and see Morrison Street outside. Something about the style of the place makes you feel as if you should see a windswept promenade and the sea beyond. Why the seaside vibe? It could be the warm…
Mother India
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Near the top of its game since opening in 1994, Mother India is likely to be among the first places Glasgow gourmands recommend. And not just as a quality curry house, either, but as one of the most highly reputed restaurants in the city in general. The…
Mother India's Cellar
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7RU
Mother India's Cellar is just that - the basement dining room under Mother India. The corner premises were once home to a Victorian baker and tearoom, and this latest addition is in the old bakery itself, with low ceilings, exposed brickwork, white…
Neelim
1590 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G14 9DB
Located in a more modest part of the West End, Neelim has become an integral part of the Indian dining scene, managing to lure locals and others willing to travel to Scotstoun for some excellent cooking and low prices. Though the interior is basic, with…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4PG
The entrance to Edinburgh's oldest Chinese restaurant is not its most alluring feature. One floor up from street level via a winding staircase is an establishment that has been serving Scotland's capital for the past 51 years, the last four under the…
The New York Steam Packet
31 Rose Street Lane North, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2NP
Hidden down a side alley off Rose Street, and accessed via a dinky spiral staircase, New York Steam Packet is certainly not as brash as some of its more heavily-marketed American dining cousins. In fact, there's a distinct French influence here, with a…
Nile Valley
6 Chapel Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
Due to its location, this unpretentious Sudanese restaurant has been a favourite of impoverished students from Edinburgh University across the road for over a decade, thanks partly to the combination of cheap but cheerful African cuisine and a no…
9 Cellars Restaurant and Bar
1-3 York Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
Located down a short flight of stairs close to the National Portrait Gallery, 9 Cellars is really a tale of two halves. Downstairs you'll find a twisty-turny maze of nooks and crannies, complete with a well-stocked subterranean bar and 'spiral' snack…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive, West End,
Glasgow,
G20 8NZ
Scotland
North Star, inconspicuously lodged in a row of shops on Queen Margaret Drive, does not seem to shine as brightly as its name would suggest, but closer inspection of the interior reveals a different story: the distinctly bohemian space is the perfect…
Petit Paris
38-40 Grassmarket, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
'A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine,' declares the quote on the Petit Paris menu. 'All too often in Scotland' might be the riposte, but with gingham cloths, tumblers of wine and walls laden with French memorabilia, it's easy to forget…
Petit Paris
17 Queensferry Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4QP
'A meal without wine is like a day without sunshine,' declares the quote on the Petit Paris menu. 'All too often in Scotland' might be the riposte, but with gingham cloths, tumblers of wine and walls laden with French memorabilia, it's easy to forget…
Phenecia
55-57 West Nicolson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DB
After two decades in the business, Phenecia has perfected the formula of combining wholesome fare with super-low prices. And its relaxed atmosphere and location, right in the middle of Edinburgh's university quarter, attracts the students in droves. The…
La Piazzetta
42 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
From the courtyard-style entrance, complete with statue, to the vine-covered trellises inside, La Piazzetta is a welcome, Mediterranean-style sanctuary with friendly service. Owner Phyllis Astarita and her Capri-born husband Costanzo (who is in charge…
The Prince Balti House
11/12 Seafield Road East, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1EB
It may not be the most enticing spot for a restaurant, being wedged between a busy roundabout and a bus depot at the end of Seafield industrial estate, but the enthusiastic, cheery welcome from staff at this Portobello curry house more than compensates…
Reds
254 High Street, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2AT
Whether you're dodging the three-wheeled pushchairs on the promenade or overhearing the shrieks from the swimming baths, it's clear that Portobello is a family-friendly suburb. Where more appropriate, then, to see one of Edinburgh's first…
Remedy Delicatessen & Café
729-731 Pollokshaws Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 2AA
Ostensibly, Remedy's aesthetic is a riot, bringing together high-ceilinged Victoriana complete with ornate cornices and ceiling roses, a slight rustic farmhouse influence, sharp, clean modern lines, and 50s jazz on the sound system. The end result could…
Roastit Bubbly Jocks
450 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
This unassuming little spot on Dumbarton Road playfully lulls patrons into a false sense of carelessness: a shower curtain keeps the draft out, and paintings on the wall are a cheerful hotchpotch of styles and eras. There's a BYOB policy (though it is…
A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TG
Excellent service at this well-run Scottish restaurant in the New Town creates a very pleasant dining experience. This place is popular with groups, who can entertain themselves by spotting the rude bits in the mural, which spans the length of one wall.
A Room in the West End
26 William Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
Try not to miss this cosy bistro, tucked round a corner of trendy West End William Street and beneath Teuchtars Bar. It is worth finding for its Scottish menu and vibrant atmosphere. Inspired by sister restaurant A Room in the Town, the ambitious menu…
Santorini
32c Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
Having established itself five years ago, this understated, yet confident, Greek restaurant remains a small haven of Mediterranean tranquility among the hustle and bustle of Broughton Street. The whitewashed walls and relaxed attitude immediately bring…
78 St Vincent
78 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5UB
Classy without being pretentious, welcoming but not obsequious - could the only thing wrong with this place be its rather unimaginative name? Luckily, both the menu (which describes Scottish ingredients with modern twists) and the décor are more…
Sibbo's Delhi Dhabba
914 Sauchiehall Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7TF
This family-owned restaurant, which opened in 2004, is run by four brothers under the watchful eye of their mother Sibbo. There's much that's charming about the place, from the living room-sized dining area to the homely atmosphere. But Sibbo's Delhi…
Songkran
24a Stafford Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7BD
After the success of Songkran, which opened in Edinburgh's West End in 2000, Songkran II appeared in Stockbridge the following year, riding perhaps a little on a (now-waning) mania for Thai food. The menus are identical, even down to the wine lists. In…
Songkran II
8 Gloucester Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6EG
After the success of Songkran, which opened in Edinburgh's West End in 2000, Songkran II appeared in Stockbridge the following year, riding perhaps a little on a (now-waning) mania for Thai food. The menus are identical, even down to the wine lists. In…
Spice Garden
11-17 Clyde Place, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 8AA
On the south bank of the River Clyde under the railway bridges, Spice Garden's speciality is serving food into the wee, small hours, every night of the week. The interior is bright and brash with cheery-looking, if rather utilitarian, furniture. On the…
Spice of Life
1293 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TL
There's no shortage of Indian eateries around the west end of Argyle Street, but Spice of Life certainly means to stand out from the crowd - its shiny white frontage and bright red neon sign make it hard to miss. Inside, too, there's an emphasis on…
Spirit of Thai
44 Grindlay Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Although a relative newcomer, Spirit of Thai boasts a fine pedigree. The latest offering from the mini-dynasty behind Time 4 Thai, Thai Lemongrass and neighbouring Jasmine, it delivers the quality one would expect from such heritage, without feeling…
The Stockbridge Restaurant
54 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AL
The all-year fairy lights twined round the railings alert you that there is a restaurant just below street level, otherwise you might walk past this subterranean gem in St Stephen Street - home to a varied range of enticing shops selling antique…
Susie's Wholefood Diner
51-53 West Nicolson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DB
Susie's keeps things simple and cheap, excelling at feeding wholesome food to hungry people as it has done for over a decade. Tucked among the studenty hang-outs and shops of West Nicholson Street, its premises are calm and homely - window seats, pale…
Tapas Tree
1 Forth Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JS
A number of tapas places have come and gone in the capital over the years, but the Tapas Tree remains as successful as ever. It's been a New Town institution for 11 years now, and the reason for its success is pretty straightforward - great-tasting…
La Tasca
39-43 Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1JS
Given the somewhat booming Spanish music - with riotously colourful over-the-top decor to match - first time visitors here might worry that they're in for the Iberian equivalent of a classic resort 'English breakfast'. But relax (if you can stop your…
Taste Good
67-71 Slateford Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 1PR
Taste Good doesn't exactly fit the stereotype of a Chinese restaurant. At street level it is a busy takeaway catering for locals in the know, while in the basement there's a bright, airy dining space with modern décor and pleasant background music. The…
Tawa & Grill
146-148 Nelson Street, Southside,
Glasgow,
G5 8EJ
Of all boulevards in all the cities, Nelson Street in Glasgow's post-industrial Tradeston district may not come to mind for destination dining options. The avenue's four lanes are commonly packed with west-bound motors and buses heading for an M8 slip…
Thai Lemongrass
40-41 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HJ
Enter Thai Lemongrass and enjoy a welcome as warm as the rich terracotta silk that lines its walls. Smart, smiling staff bow and greet you as you are seated, swiftly delivering a dish of tasty crackers to keep the hunger pangs at bay while you examine…
Thai Lemongrass
24 Renfrew Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3BW
Despite its low-key frontage on a busy little stretch of Renfrew Street, Thai Lemongrass turns out to have an impressive high-ceilinged space adorned with Far Eastern-style fans and carvings. Canopied booths line one side of the room while dark…
Thai Siam
1191 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TQ
Being among the more established of the few dedicated Thai restaurants in Glasgow, Thai Siam has gained a loyal band of regulars for sit-in meals, as well as takeaways. The restaurant itself offers a rather small dining area with a slightly…
Thaisanuk
21 Argyle Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JJ
Thaisanuk's hole-in-the-wall charms are well known to the discerning inhabitants of this particularly foody corner of Marchmont. It's surrounded by delis and greengrocers galore on bustling Argyle Place, and the food is suitably fresh and colourful…
Time 4 Thai
45 North Castle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3BG
Depending on your aesthetic sensibilities, you'll either thank or condemn Time 4 Thai for exploding the myth that a Thai restaurant should cocoon its clientele in soft tones and exotic artefacts. Surrounded by achingly hip George Street style bars, the…
Torna Sorrento
148 Woodlands Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 6LF
Following a change of ownership in summer 2006, the homely, family-run style of Torna Sorrento has been dropped in favour of a more contemporary, straightforward approach, with a pared-down menu of Italian classics. Descriptions of dishes are similarly…
Trattoria Siciliana
5a Union Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3LT
Salvatore Consoli's gaily painted blue and yellow basement eatery is tiny, but on busy evenings he may still struggle to take orders, wait tables and do the cooking himself. So if you find yourself waiting for something, do like his regulars and help…
University Café
87 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5HN
In a neighbourhood teeming with beloved 'home from home' coffee shops, the grandfather (or godfather) of them all has to be the traditionally Italian University Café. This is the kind of relaxed, mellow operation you get when your family has operated…
Valvona & Crolla Caffè Bar
19 Elm Row, Leith Walk, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
The word 'institution' doesn't quite cover the stature of Valvona & Crolla in the Edinburgh foodie scene. Known far and wide for its commitment to sourcing the best quality organic food and seasonal produce, it has become something of a tourist…
The Wee Curry Shop
7 Buccleuch Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G3 6SJ
The aptly named Wee Curry Shop, the city centre flagship, offers a memorable dining experience. The aroma from the open-plan kitchen, coupled with the compact dining space, gives the feeling of comfort and familiarity. Service certifies the winning…
