Café India

29 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1LH

When restaurant entrepreneur Tony Hussain took over the long-established Café India in 2011, he kicked it up a few notches from typical Glasgow curryhouse to a classier joint, with a makeover to match. There are still aspects of the former – like the…

The Witchery by the Castle

Castlehill, Royal Mile, Edinburgh, EH1 2NF

One of Edinburgh’s most famous restaurants, celebrated as much for its location near the Castle and historic atmosphere as for the food. There are two distinct dining areas: the darkly romantic 16th- century Witchery, its red leather seats, and old oak…

The Corinthian Club

191 Ingram Street, Glasgow, G1 1DA

Hotel du Vin

11 Bristo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 1EZ

Hotel du Vin has always sought to rise above its peers in the often-dubious chain-hotel restaurant business. Here, snuggled between the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh University’s central campus, it succeeds. Upon leaving the hectic churn of…

Tower Restaurant

National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1JF

Even on a clear day, it’s not quite possible to see the other two restaurants that make up restaurateur James Thomson’s local trilogy. What you can see through this one’s floor-to-ceiling windows – and most spectacularly from its fifth-floor terrace…

Di Maggio's Theatreland

163 West Nile Street, Glasgow, G1 2RL

Owing more to Uncle Sam than the Old Country, Di Maggio’s can be relied on for hearty American-Italian fare. The Theatreland branch, well located for the Concert Hall, Pavilion and the cinema, does a fine line in pre-theatre offers with two courses for…

The Grill Room at the Square

29 Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow, G1 3AJ

Amarone

13 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh, EH2 2BH

Amarone is fighting to become a go-to venue for all things Italian on George Street. From the suited post-work crowd to hungry shoppers, the cavernous former bank has more than enough room in its 200-plus covers. The restaurant has an open pizza kitchen…

Alla Turca

192 Pitt Street, Glasgow, G2 4DY

As aromas from Scottish scallops and a delicious pomegranate salad wash over the room, under the soft glow from hanging lanterns, it’s easy to imagine that outside is somewhere more exotic than Glasgow. An engaging subtlety runs through everything here…

Gambrino

333 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HS

Walking through the porch entrance to Gambrino transports you from the bustle of Great Western Road to a Tuscan trattoria. From the terracotta floors to exposed brickwork walls, worn table-tops and dried flowers, there's a warm, traditional feeling that…

Tony Macaroni

4 Byres Road, Glasgow, G11 5JY

Prior to Tony Macaroni’s arrival, successive operations have failed to find the correct formula for a tricky spot at the bottom of Byres Road. Affordable dining, coupled with the quality concurrent in its five other restaurants across Scotland, has…
