Black Bo's (Restaurant)
57–61 Blackfriars Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1NB
Black Bo’s is another restaurant which has graced the Edinburgh vegetarian scene for over 20 years. If this were to draw you to the conclusion that they must be doing something right you’d be spot on. The shabby chic bistro-style interior is…
Chinaski's
239 North Street, Glasgow, G3 7DL
Even if Charles Bukowski – whose biographical alter-ego Chinaski’s is named after – mostly lived off a liquid diet, this dark, discreet hipster haunt just off the main drag of Sauchiehall Street is as much about its food as it is its drink. A huge…
The Cloisters
26 Brougham Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JH
Situated in an old church in Tollcross, Cloisters is a dependable, straight down the line pub. Here you will find an open fire, large solid wooden tables and a bunch of friendly locals enjoying a pint of ale from the well stocked bar. There isn’t a…
David Bann
56–58 St Mary's Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SX
They say that once you reach the top the only way is down, but this is far from the case for David Bann who, for almost ten years, has been at the forefront of vegetarian dining in Edinburgh. There are no vegetarian clichés to be found here, only…
Iglu
2b Jamaica Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6HH
The name Iglu suggests a frostiness that couldn’t be further from reality in this warm and welcoming eatery. Iglu’s ethical approach to food and drink is worn large and its daily-changing menu of locally sourced, seasonal and welfare-rich food is…
Ivy
1102–1106 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TD
Located on the Finnieston strip, Ivy very much appeals to a 21st-century audience. The sets of the live DJs who play every weekend night can be downloaded from iTunes as podcasts and enjoyed at one’s leisure. This is just one example of the clever…
The King's Wark
36 The Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6QU
The term ‘gastropub’ does not get a lot of airing north of Hadrian’s Wall, but it is an apt moniker for the King’s Wark. On one hand, this is a solid old Leith pub, all dark wooden nooks and crannies, that serves up ales to a mixed crowd of tourists…
The Left Bank
33–35 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU
It is hard to categorise this bistro / bar, mainly because it is so successful in all its guises – as a lazy brunch hangout, for drinks by the window or a relaxed evening meal. The atmosphere is casual but the kitchen works hard, handling flavours…
See Woo Restaurant
The Point, 29 Saracen Street, Glasgow, G22 5HT
Five years ago the vast See Woo cash and carry in the north of the city opened up a restaurant and banqueting hall. While it may not be everyone’s choice to eat in 500-seater hangar space it is certainly full of local Chinese families and visiting…
The 78
10–14 Kelvinhaugh Street, Glasgow, G3 8NU
Vegan fare is often given a body swerve by diners but The 78, nominated by the Vegetarian Society for its top quality pub food, is worth a journey. Granted, the starters aren’t particularly exciting with bruschetta and spring rolls on offer but the…
WEST Brewery
Building 4 Templeton Building, Glasgow Green, Glasgow, G40 1AW
German-inspired brewery WEST’s bar-restaurant scooped the family friendly trophy at the Scottish Restaurant Awards in 2010 and it’s easy to see why. A big, bright, inviting space situated just outside the City Centre in the Templeton Building, a…
