L'escargot Bleu
56 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SA
The humble snail is a byword for French cuisine and the symbol of the international Slow Food movement, both of which are well represented by this popular Broughton Street restaurant. There’s a real French ambience in the high-ceilinged dining room with…
1901
1534 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G43 1RFThough a little removed from the main Shawlands dining strip the value of the food along with the decidedly relaxed and jovial atmosphere at this unassuming corner pub and bistro make it worth the venture. New owner Graham Sutherland, who also has the…
Petit Paris
38–40 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
If Petit Paris aspires to be a little piece of the French capital, it’s not the city’s grand boulevards or imposing squares, but the winding cobbled streets where time seems to stand still and there’s an old-fashioned bistro on every corner. The place…
Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens, Glasgow, G2 4NQTucked away behind the King's Theatre, this brasserie has been on the city restaurant scene for 20 years. The layout includes a long, thin bar with an open kitchen, a blackboard showing specials, quirky artworks and candles flickering on black tables.
B'est
16 Drummond Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9TXBilling itself boldly as ‘Edinburgh’s most exciting eatery’, B’est has a lot to live up to, and somewhat inevitably falls short of its claim. Paintings of the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe and stencilled words en Français say ‘this is a French…
Café Cassis
Salisbury Hotel, Salisbury Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5AA
Now in its third year, Café Cassis remains unfamiliar even to many of Edinburgh’s enthusiastic restaurant goers. This is a shame, as it turns out highly enjoyable, seasonally influenced meals that aim to offer something for everyone, with lots of…
Hotel du Vin
11 Bristo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 1EZHotel du Vin has always sought to rise above its peers in the often-dubious chain-hotel restaurant business. Here, snuggled between the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh University’s central campus, it succeeds. Upon leaving the hectic churn of…
Maison Bleue
36–38 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
Housed in an old building full of character, Maison Bleue’s chateau-cum-castle interior design makes the most of its olde-world surrounds: stone arches and spiral staircase, artfully aged wood, thistles on the table, while candle-flickeringly low…
Le Bistro Beaumartin
161 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2UQ
Glasgow’s newest French restaurant celebrated its first anniversary in March 2013, and has already established itself as a firm favourite with many. Run by Frenchman Richard Dupupet, veteran of several Paris bistros, together with head chef Andrew…
L'escargot Blanc
17 Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4QW
Step through the modest shop front on busy Queensferry Street, climb the wooden stairs and be enfolded in the warm embrace of L’escargot Blanc. This laidback sister to Broughton’s L’escargot Bleu has bags of bistro-style charm to tempt its clientele of…
La Vallée Blanche
360 Byres Road, Glasgow, G12 8AYIt’s named after a French Alps off-piste ski run, but La Vallée Blanche is very much on the beaten track, with an excellent first-floor location above the summit of Byres Road. An eye-catchingly good value lunch/pre-theatre deal steers a steady stream…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2RLConsiderably nicer than a restaurant housed in the foyer of a middling chain hotel has any right to be, La Bonne Auberge has experienced a facelift in the last year, with previously fussy décor disposed of for a more contemporary-feeling retro-modern…
The Doll's House Restaurant
3 Church Square, St Andrews, Fife, KY16 9NNOne of St Andrew's better respected restaurants, centrally situated with some attractive outdoor dining and serving an internationally influenced menu based on Scottish produce.
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street, Glasgow, G2 4RLThey have you from the warm brioche at Brian Maule at Chardon d’Or, as a veritable armoury of silver cutlery gleams on the brilliant white tablecloth, and waiting staff dressed head-to-toe in black scrape stray crumbs from tables. The cost of a…
The Honours
58a North Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3LU‘To do the honours of a table gracefully, is one of the outlines of a well-bred man.’ So says the rare 18th-century text from which Martin Wishart’s second Edinburgh venture takes its name, and both he and head chef Paul Tamburrini do the table proud…
Pig'halle Restaurant
South Street, Perth, PH2 8PGHerve and Paula Tabourel run a resolutely Parisian brasserie in a Florentine Palazzo-style building by 19th century architect David Rhind. Menus change constantly, but are reliably French from the complimentary pork rillette with bread to start, through…
Malmaison
278 West George Street, Glasgow, G2 4LLWhile its name and menu might be nominally inspired by our cousins across the Channel, the brasserie at the Glasgow branch of boutique hotel chain Malmaison’s stock-in-trade is essentially upscale British gastronomy with French flourishes. Down a spiral…
