Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED

450 Dumbarton Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 6SE
This unassuming little spot on Dumbarton Road playfully lulls patrons into a false sense of carelessness: a shower curtain keeps the draft out, and paintings on the wall are a cheerful hotchpotch of styles and eras. There's a BYOB policy (though it is…

54 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RA
Competition for those most sought-after of food accolades may be hotting up down at the Shore, but with one Michelin star already tucked firmly into his apron strings, Martin Wishart's eponymous venue remains a mecca for Edinburgh's high earners and…

Amber
The Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE

Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
