A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place, Edinburgh, EH6 6LU
If you pitch up here late or without booking, it may be wise to have a plan B. On sunny days, the waterside tables outside fill up fast with people enjoying a platter of mussels and a well chosen glass, while for chillier occasions, there’s candle…
A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6TG
A Room in the Town resembles the well known and colourful mural lining its main wall more often than one suspects. High jinks and merriment co-exist alongside locals having a casual meal in the simply furnished and softly lit, long dining room. Staff…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7NH
The 'Room in the…' chain has won considerable popularity in Edinburgh thanks to unpretentious surroundings, fulsome food and that rare beauty, a BYO policy. The West End branch, a snug basement beneath the frequently rowdy Teuchter’s pub on William…
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…
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…
Beanscene
16 Cresswell Lane Hillhead, Glasgow, G12 8AA
Beanscene, recently opened, is another contender for the trendy cafe crown, with its Friends-y vibe, evening tapas menu and weekly live music.
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…
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…
Big Mouth Coffee Bar and Café
167 Dumbarton Road, Glasgow, G11 6AA
Occupying a bright, modern space, with a huge sunny window and regular displays of local artists’ work on the walls, Big Mouth Café is a popular spot for young families, relaxing shoppers and students. The menu is simple café fare, but prepared with…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road, Edinburgh, EH6 8BN
If not quite a diamond in the rough, Bijou is certainly a lovely find in an unlikely locale. This low-key café/bistro by Leith Links is frequented by locals and intrepid visitors for breakfast, lunch, dinner and take-away. The tiny kitchen dishes up…
Bluerapa Thai
6 Torphichen Place, Edinburgh, EH3 8DU
Given the number of Thai restaurants operating in Edinburgh at the moment, any new contender is going to have to go out of its way even to be noticed. The owners of the family-run Bluerapa Thai in Haymarket do at least have the advantage of ten years…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road, Glasgow, G41 2HR
The trusty Southside family-run corner café is celebrating its 80th birthday this year. Their affordably priced family-friendly Italian-based menu remains a one-stop crowd pleaser with young and old alike. A visit is instantly set up to end with a…
Broughton Delicatessen
7 Barony Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6PD
Recently voted among the top 50 delis in the UK, this little deli/café champions the relaxed, community-based ethos of Broughton Street. There’ll be no pursed lips if you sit all day over your coffee and a book, there’s no BYOB corkage, and regular…
Café Domenico
30 Sandport Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6EP
Café Domenico may be a stone’s throw from Leith shore’s Michelin-studded gastro corner but it's a million miles from its swish neighbours in style. The interior is mostly narrow and hall-like, covered in space-enhancing mirrors, and there’s little else…
Café Hula
321 Hope Street, Glasgow, G2 3PT
Across the road from Theatre Royal and within spitting distance of both the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama and Glasgow School of Art, Café Hula attracts a young, creative crowd. With its appealing, unpolished interior, friendly, laid-back…
Café India
29 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1LH
‘Indian and global cuisine’ is what Café India’s pink neon frontage promises, a deliberately broad approach that aims to have something for all. The muted palette of greys and whites, the option of booth or dining chair seating, karaoke and buffet…
Café Sejuiced
77 Hanson Street, Glasgow, G31 2HF
Hidden as it is behind an old tobacco factory a short walk east from the City Centre, Café Sejuiced has had to rely upon word of mouth to gain its strong reputation for excellent soups, sandwiches and fresh fruit juices, and a welcoming and pleasantly…
The Calabash Restaurant
57 Union Street, Glasgow, G1 3RB
A year or so ago Glasgow’s African dining options encompassed much of the continent’s varied cuisine, but a rash of closures left only Egyptian and Moroccan restaurants standing. Now the Calabash has filled the gap, offering traditional dishes from…
Double Dutch
27–29 Marshall Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9BJ
Under new management since the summer of 2008, but still trading under the same name, any former Dutch influence which this café boasted has long since disappeared. There’s plenty to take its place, although it could be argued that the extensiveness of…
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…
eat café
69 Kilmarnock Road, Glasgow, G41 3YR
The excellent eat deli in the Glasgow suburb of Clarkston has expanded into Shawlands with the eat café. Owners Kathryn and Paul Knight have brought their values with them – many ingredients are locally sourced, sustainable and conform to Soil…
eatiBoutiquie
231 Berkeley Street, Finnieston, Glasgow, G3 7HH
Opened in late 2010, Eati Boutiquie has grown out of co-owners Rachel Suttle and Emma Paris’s pop-up vintage shop and wholesale cupcakes and bespoke catering business Made With Love Finnieston. Part deli-café, part retro style and hand-crafted goods…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
The décor of Great Western Road’s Enjoy is fairly unassuming. The airy wooden-floored room is filled up with chunky leather sofas and bucket armchairs, which surround low-slung coffee tables. The walls are plain but for occasional minimalist framed…
L'escargot Bleu L'escargot Bleu
56 Broughton Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3SA
Broughton Street is full of trendy cafés and bistros but L’escargot Bleu stands out from the crowd with its French menu, chic bric-a-brac interior and superior sourcing policy highlighted through its own delicatessen in the basement. Owner Frederick…
eteaket
41 Frederick Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1EP
Taking time out for pleasure is not only celebrated but expected at this stylish, cosy New Town café where the humble cuppa is reclaimed as a luxury. Owner Erica Moore travelled the world to source eteaket’s extensive selection of teas, which includes…
