Baby Grand
3–7 Elmbank Gardens, Glasgow, G2 4NQ

The Blue Blazer
2 Spittal Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9DX
The Blue Blazer moniker may only have been in place since 1975 but there has been a pub on this site since 1889. This may account for how comfortably it sits among the books and bosoms of West Port, drawing a crowd as diverse as the surrounding art…

Café India

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.

Cucina
Hotel Missoni, 1 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1AD
Oozing five-star Italian style, Hotel Missoni’s restaurant is fast becoming a second home to Edinburgh's wealthy and fashionable. If the modern, plush setting makes Cucina a place to be seen, this is not to the detriment of its menu, which offers…

Dusit
49a Thistle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DY
A perfect tempura prawn sums up the expertise on display here: a prawn of unparalleled creaminess, the panko breadcrumbs brittle and crisp in contrast. It’s the benchmark of almost a decade of lauded cooking that fills seats on a wet Monday evening as…
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…

Gandhi's
50 East Fountainbridge, Edinburgh, EH3 9BH

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…
