Ad Lib
33 Ingram Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
Glasgow's two Ad Libs have carved a niche as perhaps the more mature establishments that focus on US-style cuisine. The newer Merchant City outlet has a grander atmosphere, with marble walls and well-spaced booths that give it a chic, cosmopolitan…
Alla Turca
192 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DY
This ambitious newcomer, from Òran Mór's former brasserie manager Burak Soyusinmez, has an agenda: to show that there's a lot more to Turkish cuisine than dodgy post-pub kebabs. And so Alla Turca's menu is one of two halves, with traditional dishes on…
Amber
The Scotch Whisky Experience, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Amber is ideally placed to capitalise on the tourist trade – it's close to Edinburgh Castle and forms part of the Scotch Whisky Experience – but don't let visitors to the city be the only ones to enjoy its charms. Dispensing with folksiness, Amber…
Amber Regent
50 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2QZ
From the classily understated sign in the window to the photos of celebrity customers at the entrance, and from the thick drapery that flanks paintings by a local artist to the cute little thistles that garnish each table, it's clear that Amber Regent…
Amicus Apple
17 Frederick Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EY
Amicus Apple has been under new ownership since 2007, and its basement area has been transformed into a chic, welcoming, boudoir-like space. Patterned black walls, twinkling light fittings and comfortable leather chairs accommodate shoppers and office…
Appetite@Rowland's
42 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Hidden away in the New Town, Appetite@Rowlands is the takeaway arm of award-winning catering company Appetite Direct. Lunching office workers flock from the surrounding area for its good, freshly cooked food that comprises a daily rotating specials of…
L'Ariosto
92–94 Mitchell Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Named after the Renaissance bard, L'Ariosto has many surprises. Designed to resemble an Italian courtyard and exuding a cosy atmosphere, it still has room to put on dinner dances with a live band five nights a week. It's almost 40 years old, but there's…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Co-owners Naveed Rashid and Stephen Bonomi have a passion for quality Scottish produce that makes dining at Arisaig a thoroughly satisfying experience. In this attractive dining room, large, almost abstract paintings of foaming oceans and crashing waves…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Residing in the upper echelons of the capital's food chain since opening in the early 90s, Atrium is clearly unafraid to move with the times. As those with coffers sufficiently well-lined to dine here regularly will know, the venue took a post-Festival…
Avoca
4–6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
This is a bar that knows exactly what it's doing when it comes to food. It's not attempting to be a bistro: it's emphatically a bar and loves being a bar. Taste is everything in this little relaxing snug; music and chat don't intrude on your dining and…
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
Tucked in at the top of Cockburn Street just off the madness of the Royal Mile, this tiny shop is something of an Edinburgh institution. This isn't just any baked potato shop: this is the baked potato shop, taking the humble spud and giving it a series…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Bar 91
91 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
The refurbished Bar 91 has retained its aloof smartness and lack of pretention, with new chunky tables, dark red and oyster walls and a refitted bar stocking beers by West Brewing Company. Light and airy, it has a steady office lunchtime trade that…
Barça Tapas and Cava Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JN
The flexible tapas format is ideal for Barça's location on the top floor of Princes Square, where a quick, restorative bite and a glass of decent wine can fit into the most demanding shopping or social schedule. Barça delivers the goods with excellent…
Bibi's Cantina
599 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G11 6HY
Bibi's Cantina is a recent but welcome arrival on the restaurant scene. It's like stepping into someone's living room – you'll find it has a welcoming and homely vibe with subtle touches of Latin American design in the décor. A few kitsch Mexican…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
At the corner of Restalrig Road, across from Leith Links, guests of Bijou can dine in a small, white sitting room cheerfully decorated with green plants and gold mirrors. The lunch and dinner menu celebrates Scottish cuisine and all dishes come in…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens,
Glasgow,
G12 OUX
Maintaining a relaxed air of elegance and sophistication without straying too far into the realms of elitism or pretentiousness, One Devonshire Gardens remains an address of note for the Glasgow gourmet. The 'simple classics' menu showcases the best of…
The Black Bull
Market Place,
Lauder,
TD2 6SR
Well located on one of the main routes south from Edinburgh yet also in the heart of the Scottish Borders, this very popular 18th century coaching inn is situated in perfect walking and cycling country. So what better place to restore lost calories than…
blue
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
In applying Slow Food philosophies, properly educating its staff and delivering superbly designed dishes, blue is doing a lot of things right. A fastidious sourcing policy forms the restaurant's backbone, the name of the game being those elusive goals…
The Boat House
22 High Street,
South Queensferry,
EH30 9PP
South Queensferry's Boat House restaurant has outgrown its original walls and a couple of years back part of the garden was sacrificed to make way for what is now a thriving bistro and bar with stunning picture windows over the Forth. Cleverly, however…
Bon Appétit
1150 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
It may appear inconspicuous from the slightly run-of-the-mill exterior, but the food within Bon Appétit is something of note. In the open-plan kitchen, unfazed chefs stir curries bubbling in pans, turn meat sizzling on the char-grill and move steaming…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
With the convivial hubbub of the closely packed tables, the sizzling steam and enticing aromas emerging from the kitchen, and the bold white, crimson and black décor, at Bonsai it's easy to imagine yourself in an izakaya in downtown Tokyo. And indeed it…
Braidwoods
Drumastle Mill Cottage, Saltcoats Road,
by Dalry,
KA24 4LN
Braidwoods exudes quiet confidence: the small dining room doesn't cram in the linen-clad tables, ostentation is limited to a few colourful original paintings, and there's no music to distract. It's 14 years since Keith and Nicola Braidwood took over a…
The Brasserie at the Chip
12 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 82J
Formerly known as Upstairs at the Chip, the Brasserie at the Chip offers the mid-range dining experience at this legendary Glasgow establishment (the bar/pub serves lighter snacks while the famous restaurant offers the formal and pricey à la carte…
The Brasserie at The Menzies Glasgow Hotel
27 Washington Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8AZ
It's hard to imagine how you might stumble across the Menzies hotel while searching for fine dining. Set in a rather unpromising post-industrial landscape at the edge of the city centre, it's an oddly unplaceable building – you could be essentially…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
It's seven years since Brian Maule moved back to his native Scotland to develop his philosophy of bold, classic cuisine (initially nurtured by the brothers Roux in London). In this time, Chardon d'Or has become one of Glasgow's few destination…
La Bruschetta
13 Clifton Terrace, Haymarket,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DR
Considering its name, it comes as little surprise that the bruschette at Giovanni Cariello's deceptively modest-looking Haymarket restaurant are something special, the Napoletana balancing the salty tang of anchovies and capers against the sweetness of…
Buffalo Grill
12–14 Chapel Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
'Native American' is very much the theme at both Buffalo Grills, which means steak, Corona and a veritable tribe of chiefs in monochrome bedecking the walls. Right next to the university, the Southside branch is unsurprisingly lively. But for the…
Buffalo Grill
1 Raeburn Place,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
'Native American' is very much the theme at both Buffalo Grills, which means steak, Corona and a veritable tribe of chiefs in monochrome bedecking the walls. Right next to the university, the Southside branch is unsurprisingly lively. But for the…
The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
Café Cossachok
38 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1LH
Cossachok successfully embraces multiple identities: it's part gallery, part cultural centre and part music venue, yet still essentially a restaurant. Temporarily relocated until 2009 (while their ten-year home on the other side of the Trongate is…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
The Valvona & Crolla dynasty just goes from strength to strength. In this modern diner-style café Marina Crolla offers the best of home-cooked Italian food. Be it panini, risotto or one of the fabulous pastas, you can eat in or takeaway with style.
Café Marlayne
7 Old Fishmarket Close, 190 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1RW
Both restaurants share the same name, have interchangeable chefs and waiting staff and almost identical menus of gusty, well-flavoured French, no-fuss food with a Scottish twist, but offer quite different atmospheres. The Old Town café is a charming…
Café Marlayne
76 Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EN
Both restaurants share the same name, have interchangeable chefs and waiting staff and almost identical menus of gusty, well-flavoured French, no-fuss food with a Scottish twist, but offer quite different atmospheres. The Old Town café is a charming…
Café Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
Since opening in 2007, the charming and informal Café Salma has quickly gained a loyal custom – and a reputation that belies its youth. The bright interior's idiosyncratic décor, wall-mounted television and busy open kitchen give the place an authentic…
Calistoga
93 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
Calistoga is Edinburgh's only dedicated Californian restaurant. It also has its own wine shop, Sideways, in which curious Chardonnay quaffers can take a personally tutored wine tasting before dinner. There is an astounding range of expertly selected…
The Cambridge Bar
20 Young Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JB
For simple, filling pub grub, you can't do much better than a well-made burger and chips. That's virtually all they serve at the Cambridge, besides home-made bean burgers for veggies and chicken breasts for non-beef fans. It's the attention to detail…
La Cantina
72 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
When you enter La Cantina, the décor and ambiance leave you in little doubt that you're in a Mexican restaurant. The place is decked out in red and green, and pulses with salsa rhythms. Ranch-style furniture is laid out in rows and there are sombreros…
Cherry & Heather Fine Food
7 North Gower Street,
Glasgow,
G51 1PW
Starting with a menu that kicks off with a home-made vegetarian sushi box (£1.95), it's immediately apparent that Cherry & Heather is not your typical takeaway. This exemplary bolt-hole in Cessnock (just off Paisley Road West, next to Bellahouston post…
Chinaski's
239 North Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7DL
The almost anonymous exterior and dimly lit, stylish interior makes Chinaski's a secret and sophisticated haven from the city rush, epitomised by the sunken M8 across the road. Even if you have never heard of Henry Chinaski, the relaxed approach of bar…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
'Authentic' may be an over-used claim on many menus, but at Chop Chop it's entirely appropriate. Don't be fooled by the garish red and yellow façade: it might look like any other takeaway, but Chop Chop is the real deal. Genuinely charming and…
City Merchant
97–99 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Celebrating its 20th birthday this year, the City Merchant restaurant offers its loyal clientele an extensive menu showcasing the very best of Scottish produce. Fresh lobster, oysters, platters of shellfish, venison served rare with rowan jelly, and…
Cloisters
26 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
Occasionally, there's a short wait for chips at this Tollcross pub. It's nothing to do with bad service, though: the chef just needs freshly to peel more spuds. Great care is taken over the daily changing bar meal menu, which now includes extra dishes…
La Concha
18–24 Deanhaugh Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
It may sound Spanish, but La Concha actually takes its name from the sister of chef/owner Richard Morana, and its flavour is predominantly Italian. Opened in 2005 and stylishly extended to double the capacity without compromising its friendly…
Cottier's
93–95 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Nestled in the eaves of one wing of an old church that also houses a theatre and bar is Cottier's restaurant. Decorated in gold and blue and lit with fairy lights, the dining room can feel like one of Glasgow's more romantic settings. The food is…
Creel Restaurant
The Harbour, 25 Lamer Street,
Dunbar,
East Lothian,
EH42 1HJ
Creel Restaurant enjoys a prime location just a block away from the harbour at Dunbar. The interior is sparsely decorated with low wooden ceilings, stripped floors and dark wood furniture, but there's very little need for fancy flourishes – the food's…
Dakhin
89 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
With its discrete entrance and first-floor location, Dakhin could easily be missed among the plethora of busy restaurants and bars in Candleriggs. Those who are curious – or cunning – enough to venture upstairs, however, will be welcomed into an…
David Bann
56–58 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
The luscious David Bann's is the smartly dressed uncle of the vegetarian scene, striding forward with a sophisticated menu and without a hippy in sight. Its well-deserved reputation is based on the quality of its ingredients, its creativity and its…
Delizique
70–72 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5PT
No longer just a deli, the gleaming new premises of Delizique now include an in-store bakery, which emits that distinctive, delicious smell. The takeaway food can include dishes such as a puy lentil and oak barrel-aged feta salad, which balances soft…
