Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
There's a piece of advice for women in the film LA Story - once you've put on all your jewellery and accessories, check the mirror and then remove the piece that catches your eye. And if Abstract excised just the mirror-ball pillar from amongst the…
Ad Lib/Merchant City
33 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Amber
The Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
This gem of a restaurant may seem to cater to tourists, being, as it is, slap-bang on the trail, but it is quite a find and well worth the trek to the Royal Mile for locals. Set beneath the Whisky Heritage Centre and close to Edinburgh Castle, the plain…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
Enjoy a meal at An Lochan (formerly Café Royale) and you'll not only have chef Claire McKie to thank but also Mary, Shonna, Arthur and Winston. These ladies and gentlemen are responsible for catching, gathering and shooting the scallops, oysters…
Appetite@Rowland's
42 Howe Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Tucked away on the north side of the New Town, the Appetite catering company's takeaway venture has long been seen as serving up some of the best food on this side of Princes Street. Providing a sizeable array of gourmet cuisine made with top quality…
Argan Café
1166-1170 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED
Review written spring 2007.
The décor of Argan Café is airy, reasonably elegant and quietly welcoming: white walls, wooden flooring and the choice of art conspire to create an impression of suave…
L'Ariosto
92-94 Mitchell Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Entering the elegant marble doorway to be greeted by well groomed staff, the feeling is that L'Ariosto is designed to impress, and with almost 40 years of practice, it really does. Seating surrounds the dance floor in a dining area constructed to…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Arisaig's co-owners, Stephen Bonomi and Naveed Rashid, have an admirable commitment to 'local food for local people', as it were, putting well-sourced produce into contemporary new forms for an understated take on Scotland with style. Elegant…
Art Lovers' Café
House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, 10 Dumbreck Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW
On a walk around Glasgow's House for an Art Lover, a mansion based on Charles Rennie Mackintosh's drawings and not built till 1990, the serenity of Bellahouston Park might lull even the highest of blood pressures to a gentle sense of calm. Even inside…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
There's a reason why the Atrium is one of Edinburgh's most renowned restaurants - the food is simply divine. Chef Neil Forbes has affiliations to the Slow Food movement, which means the Scottish/Mediterranean menu is created with an eye not just to the…
Balbir's
7 Church Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
The latest enterprise in a career that began at 17 and includes the opening of the first Ashoka in the 1980s, Balbir Singh Sumal has just transformed a Little Chef in Ayrshire into a roadside Indian diner. His greatest achievement to date, however, is…
Bar Soba
11 Mitchell Lane, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NU
Bar Soba pulls off the feat of being a stylish city centre bar with the warmth and easy-going attitude of a local. The downstairs restaurant operates during the busier nights of the week and food is served upstairs in the bar at other times. Although…
Barbarossa
3-5 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 4EF
This Southside favourite, a regular on our hitlist, has mastered a winning recipe of exceptional food served in stylish, welcoming surroundings by conscientious staff. The menu is a fusion of Italian and Scottish cooking, with lasagne and antipasti…
Barca Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
Barca exudes a casual Mediterranean warmth and understated class that feels far from the showy chatter of Princes Square. Predominant shades of red, orange, gold and brown find vivid focus in a painting of a menacing bull, while refined hits from the…
Battlefield Rest
55 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9JL
The Rest started out life as a busy tram station and, after winning a battle against demolition in the 1990s, was born again as one of the Southside's best-loved Italian restaurants. The busy intersection on which it sits belies a relaxed warmth and…
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…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
The sea bass is beautiful. The belly is as pearly white as the moment the fish was pulled from the sea. The pewter-coloured skin is lightly charred and fennel seeds and the merest whiff of earthy truffle oil fragrance the perfectly cooked flesh. It's a…
Big Slope
36a Kelvingrove Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7SA
One of Glasgow's original style bars, Air Organic's space-age interior lost its lunar lustre long before its 2006 closure. In its place, Big Slope has offered a breath of fresh mountain air, taking its name and inspiration from hunting lodges in the…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 OUX
The Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens dares to ditch Glasgow's famed gallus vigour for Gallic elegance - symbolically, pitch-black blinds block out busy Great Western Road. Inside, a fastidiously polite head waiter and a helpfully ruminative sommelier…
Blas
1397 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AN
Blas is the Gaelic word for 'taste', and those who dine here can expect to experience a taste of the varied flavours of Scotland. The restaurant is situated on the edge of Partick, traditionally the Gael ghetto in Glasgow, and the Gaelic tongue can be…
blue bar café
10 Cambridge Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Sharing a building with its big sister restaurant Atrium and the Traverse Theatre, blue bar café has the same innovative edge as both its neighbours. Having just undergone a makeover - opting for earthy tones in its décor - this place celebrates nature…
The Boat House
22 High Street,
South Queensferry,
EH30 9PP
There's a buzz about the Boat House and it's not hard to see why. The location is ineffably romantic - right on the waterfront between the Forth bridges - the venue is comfortable, classy and convivial, and the food hits consistently stratospheric…
Bon Appétit
1150 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
Don't let the no-frills décor put you off - the food here is freshly prepared in the open kitchen behind the counter, and the flavours are clean and free of grease. Curries loom large on the menu, but the usual burgers and pakora can be ordered too.
Braidwoods
Drumastle Mill Cottage, Saltcoats Road,
by Dalry,
Ayrshire,
KA2 44LN
To many, Dalry is just another former mining town to pass through on the way to the Ayrshire coast. But Keith and Nicola Braidwood, holders of a Michelin star since 2000, attract even the most dedicated of urban foodies to their small country cottage.
Bruntonside Restaurant
Bruntonside, Westerwood,
Torphichen,
West Lothian,
EH48 4NQ
Tucked by an old village with Knights Hospitaller connections (Torphichen), near one of central Scotland's finest views (Cairnpapple), Bruntonside is perfect for out of town escapes. Wrapped in a swathe of Scots pines, the floor-to-ceiling windows…
