Assam’s
57 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2AE
This popular newcomer last year has quite literally taken a step up for 2011, with owner Assam Rashid moving his basement eatery to a street-level site two doors along. And it’s a lovely venue, with lots of daylight coming in through windows with…

Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Set among a clutch of West End style bars, Bar Roma has packed its bright, roomy interior for three decades – seemingly without too much effort. The large, kitsch, plastic tree helps set a vibe that's low in pretension and high in conviviality; often…

The Bath Street Pony

Glasgow,
G2 4HZ

Bella Napoli
85 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR

Edinburgh,

Boteco do Brasil

Britannia Spice
150 Commercial Street, Ocean Drive,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LB

Bukharah
Lorne Hotel, 923 Sauchiehall Street,

Bunker
193–199 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4HU

Café India
29 Albion Street,
Glasgow,

Cafe Salma
523 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G3 7PQ

China Town
3 Atholl Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8HP
It’s a difficult balance that owners Thomas and Kattie Chan are trying to strike. The décor, for example, is deliberately refined, the music classical and the atmosphere reserved. The extensive and attractive wine list compounds the feeling that China…
Chow
98 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8TB
When the neatly packed two-storey Chow first opened in Byres Road it offered Glasgow an updated take on Chinese dining – the menu was simplified and the surroundings were truly contemporary. A decade or so on it feels pleasant but no longer unusual.

Glasgow,
G41 2AN
Winner of last year's newcomer of the year award, Cookie continues to impress with their usual yet welcomed combination of deli, shop and small restaurant. Busy all day, every day, you are instantly hit with aromas filling the air from the open-plan…
