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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
Café Cossachok
Russian Cultural Centre 38 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QP
Scotland
Forget frugality. Russia - that is 'all the Russias', from the Baltic to the Black Sea - arguably invented global cuisine long before it became fashionable, with culinary influences from fringe Asiatic regions to old Europe joining forces effectively.
Café Royal Circle Bar
19 West Register Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
In this fickle, post-modern age, traditions are too often cast aside in the name of progress or mimicked without any real acknowledgement of their value. There are places where traditions are upheld, and done so in with class. The Café Royal Circle Bar…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 LRU
To the uninitiated, Charcoals might possibly be overlooked when considering an Indian meal, as it trades rather inconspicuously on a busy part of Renfield Street. But those in the know can tell you that this restaurant is a top contender when it comes…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
An unassuming exterior lacking apparent signage lends Chinaski's a certain immediate hipness. It is inspired in name by barfly/writer Charles Bukowki's alter ego, and there are subtle references to the beat writer, though with no theme-bar triteness…
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…
Chow
98 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
Chow is one of the Byres Road's true success stories. Inside this tiny Chinese bistro, the décor - teak tables in booths - offers an intimacy that is unfussy and welcoming. The often innovative menu allows repeat custom to get more adventurous with each…
La Concha
18-24 Deanhaugh Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
Stockbridge's La Concha needs no introduction to its many fans, and now that owner Richard Morana has knocked through the wall to double the size of his formerly tiny restaurant, there's room for many more. Cool new décor in muted monochrome adds gloss…
Creelers
3 Hunter Square, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QW
It's hard to know what else owner Tim James can do to demonstrate his commitment to the culinary arts. He oversees the curing and smoking of all his fish from personally-selected Isle of Arran fishermen and even sets out on his own boat, Margaret Eliza…
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…
David Bann Vegetarian Restaurant
56-58 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
Shunning the bohemian stereotype of vegetarianism in favour of minimalist, grown-up sophistication, David Bann's recently refurbished restaurant arguably appeals more to yuppies than hippies. However, despite sleek surroundings, snappy service and…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
If you appreciate the honest virtue of pub grub but hanker after something a little more cosmopolitan, you'll love Ecco Vino. Billed as a wine bar, this intimate Cockburn Street hang-out is distinctly continental. In fact, with its earthy menu of…
The Engine Shed Cafe
19 St Leonard's Lane, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
In 1989, a disused shed from the Innocents Railway was turned into what is now the Garvald-run Engine Shed - a spacious, airy building with a friendly, community atmosphere, home to a number of initiatives that provide training and work for adults with…
La Favorita
325-331 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
Situated halfway down Leith Walk, La Favorita sets itself apart from the selection of pubs, greasy spoons and random electronics shops with modern granite and glass facing, designer lighting, black and white photos of film stars, and clean, contemporary…
Frankie's Restaurant
27 Bread Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AL
Located opposite the Point Hotel and just footsteps from some of Edinburgh's less salubrious drinking dens, Frankie's Restaurant is perhaps the most, if not the only, understated establishment on Bread Street. But walking past this relaxed restaurant…
The Fruitmarket Gallery Café
Fruitmarket Gallery, 45 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DF
The exhibitions that grace the Fruitmarket Gallery walls suggest a desire to push boundaries, and the chefs in the café kitchen seem to have similar ambitions. The menu, which changes to reflect the season and its produce, is put together with creative…
Garlic
793 Shettleston Road, Shettleston, East End,
Glasgow,
G32 7NN
The reputation of Garlic's Giovanna Eusebi grows with each passing year. It's remarkable only in that her main platform, Garlic deli, is in the culinary wilds of Shettleston, east of Parkhead. In 2006, she hosted a couple of gourmet meals at the House…
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…
