Al Fresco
22 Union Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3NQ
Step off of Leith Walk, almost directly across from the Playhouse, into bright and shiny Al Fresco. Cut from a very similar cloth to its very popular near neighbour and sister restaurant Giuliano’s, Al Fresco is the newest member of the ‘family…
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…
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…
Bonoful
13–17 Brighton Place,
Edinburgh,
EH15 1LH
Situated in Portobello, Bonoful has successfully built a reputation among regulars, and as word spreads is attracting custom from further afield. With a pristine modern minimalist interior, the menu specialises in Bangladeshi food but also includes…
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…
Café Nom de Plume
60 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SA
Café Nom de Plume is a welcome addition to a street already lined with bars, cafés and restaurants setting the standard high. Both LGBT and straight-friendly, it’s a haven of chilled-out homeliness from the moment you step through the door. The décor…
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…
The Clay Oven
86 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4BY
A steady stream of business flocks to this neighbourhood restaurant, and passing trade is not the secret. Loyal Morningside residents provide the mainstay for success in an establishment where pristine white linen tablecloths and handsomely uniformed…
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…
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…
Divino Enoteca
5 Merchant Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QD
The enoteca wine bar is one of the great joys of visiting Italy, and since June 2010 Edinburgh has had its own slice of Milan hidden below George IV Bridge. Nestled in a stripped-down basement in the Old Town, Divino is stylishly fitted out in chrome…
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…
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…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
Edinburgh’s wine bar scene might be expanding, but this intimate cubby hole on Cockburn Street has a decade on all of them. Ecco Vino is firmly Italian in its menu: generous plates of antipasti share a billing with enticing fish and meat dishes, pastas…
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…
Greenmantle
44 West Crosscauseway,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JP
Ostensibly an ordinary Nicolson Street drinking den complete with national flags hanging in the windows, Greenmantle makes for a pleasant surprise. Starting with one of the main draws – the excellent home-made food – the pub shows that attention to…
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…
Hay Sushi
15 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BQ
With Dalry Road rapidly becoming a smorgasbord of culinary choices, ex-Londoner Alex Sy has chosen a prime location for his new Edinburgh adventure. Hay Sushi looks great – big windows look out into the hustle of Haymarket, while inside there are clean…
Hot Hot Chinese
60 Home Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NA
True, you could mistake Hot Hot’s opaque steamy windows for those of a launderette. And yes, the lighting and décor are only slightly more atmospheric than those of a prison canteen – but that’s not the point. Hot Hot does only one thing – the Hot Pot…
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…
