Al Fresco
22 Union Place,

The Apartment Bistro
7–13 Barclay Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HW
The Apartment Bistro, older sibling to the Outsider restaurant, has completed its first year since a radical overhaul of both interior and menu. Deep red walls, low hanging pendant lamps and mismatched canteen chairs create a stylish and intimate vibe.
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street,
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…
Barioja
15-19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
The older establishment of the burgeoning Edinburgh tapas bar scene, Barioja remains a popular and central destination for diners looking for quick snacks or an evening meal. Its red-hued interior is fresh and modern, and makes a centre-piece of a…
Bonoful
13–17 Brighton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1LH

Britannia Spice
150 Commercial Street, Ocean Drive,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LB
Britannia Spice is located in a rather austere converted whisky bond. Behind the stony façade, however, is a bright and open space containing long tables for large parties as well as a mezzanine and corner booths for intimate dining. The restaurant is…
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…
Creelers
3 Hunter Square,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QW
Long before local sourcing finally became the national obsession it should always have been, Tim James was catching his own crabs, lobsters and langoustines and knew exactly where all the pelagic fish served in Creelers came from. A decade and a half…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get…
Earl of Marchmont
22 Marchmont Crescent,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1HG
A biannual facelift due in April 2011 may see the décor spruced up but otherwise it is business as usual as the Earl continues to serve as both child-friendly café and student watering hole. In its café guise it offers freshly squeezed orange juice…
La Favorita
325–331 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
The hectic craft of kneading and folding pizza dough is the first thing you see on entering this busy Leith Walk eatery. Walk past the front counter, through the lively, three-pronged dining area, and you'll notice most diners are working their way…
Gandhi's
50 East Fountainbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BH
The lack of an alcohol licence in this intimate restaurant just off Lothian Road means the focus is on the quality of the cooking and the pleasant, laid-back ambience. Take a look over the extensive menu while sipping a smooth, tasty mango lassi or one…
Giuliano's
18–19 Union Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NQ
With its prime location opposite the Playhouse, Giuliano’s has been feeding theatre-goers for two decades. It looks a little dated with worn carpets but remains popular with the early evening crowd that fills this surprisingly large space. It’s not a…
Guchhi Indian Seafood and Bar
9/10 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
A newcomer to Leith's busy eating and drinking quarter, Guchhi combines some fine Indian cooking techniques and recipes with one of Scotland's most celebrated ingredients: fish. Chef and owner Vishant Das learned his trade in Goa before bringing his…
Ignite
272–274 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
Don’t be misled by the incendiary name of this Haymarket restaurant: Ignite can lay claim to being one of the most relaxed Indian restaurants in the capital. There’s no background music, the décor is smart though muted and simple, and the waiters weave…
Iman's
4–6 Lochrin Buildings, Gilmore Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NB
Located across the road from the King's Theatre at Tollcross, Iman's is the ideal spot for a pre- or post-theatre meal. The very reasonable prices and BYOB mean it's possible to enjoy a two-course meal with wine without compromising your budget. With…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
Izzi is a restaurant of two halves, with the front dining room clearly visible to the passers-by on busy Lothian Road through a huge plate glass window. The second room is curiously featureless but feels a little more private. Friendly staff greet…
Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight
28 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9HX
Every city has its secrets, those in-the-know places that are easy to miss in the search for better and brighter eating experiences. While it’s hardly off the beaten track, Kampong Ah Lee Malaysian Delight’s unassuming shop front and barely decorated…
Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant
107–109 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
St Leonard’s Street on a damp weekday evening can be a dreary experience, but there’s a bright yellow beacon that is Karen Wong’s Chinese Restaurant. Inside, you’ll find the place comforting rather than adventurous, in terms of both food and…
Kebab Mahal
7 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BH
Ideally situated for starving students, the long-established Kebab Mahal plays to its strengths as a restaurant-takeaway serving good value, no-frills food in bountiful quantities. Although technically they take reservations, the process tends to be…
Khublai Khan Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant
43 Assembly Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7BQ

Khushi’s Diner
32b West Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DD
For the last couple of years this has been the locus of the veteran Khushi’s brand, long-time staple of the Edinburgh curry scene. The Newington incarnation is designed with good cheer in mind, with a mix of red banquettes and cosy tables interspersed…
Kweilin
19–21 Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QG
Like the prints of misty mountains on its walls, this Cantonese restaurant remains decidedly traditional – and that’s the way its loyal fans like it. Mostly they come for the seafood, fresh from an Anstruther supplier, and for the crispy roast duck.
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1ST
The ever-cheery Peter Kwok appears to have a loyal following and he offers them what they want, with a menu covering all the dependable classics from Singapore noodles to sesame prawn toasts. The additional daily specials menu injects some welcome…
Lancers Brasserie
5 Hamilton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5BA
Stationed above the banks of the Water of Leith, Lancers Brasserie is a popular standby with Stockbridgers looking for a decent, if unchallenging, curry. The adequate mains choice is boosted by a more than usually extensive wine list chosen with a…
