Bellini
67 Kilmarnock Road,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
Formerly known as Bacco Italia, Lucca Staiano has taken over ownership of the restaurant from his brother. Wooden tables and red upholstery give Bellini a smart, warm feel. The service is warm too, and the kitchen's ambitions don't stop at pizzas and…
Bisque Bar & Brasserie
Bruntsfield Hotel, 69 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HH
Nestled in the basement of the Bruntsfield Hotel, Bisque offers a busy bar and separate restaurant frequented by a mix of hotel guests, locals and families from both camps. The contemporary boutique-style interior feels a little dated and hard-edged…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
To survive and thrive on Glasgow’s restaurant scene since 1975 – in its third location, near the bus station, shops, colleges and theatres – is no small achievement. But La Bonne Auberge clearly aims to remain attractive to potential new diners as it…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
Glasgow is lucky to have Chardon d’Or. There’s little point in describing a menu as it changes every couple of days when chef Brian Maule incorporates new dishes – one day it might be Arctic char with squid ink, the next, fillet of lamb. You just never…
Café Cassis
Salisbury Hotel, Salisbury Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5AA
Newington newcomer Café Cassis is doing its bit to transform the much-maligned image of the hotel dining room. Out go pink tablecloths and warm, sweet wine, in comes laid-back bistro cooking with a strong French accent and one of the best outdoor…
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…
The Dining Room
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 28 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JX
The Dining Room sits in the ground floor of a restored Georgian townhouse inhabited by the Scotch Malt Whisky Society. The interior is surprisingly contemporary, cosy and light, and the restaurant is open all week to non-members. A mega-meaty starter…
The Grill Room at the Square
29 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
Part of a private members club which has seen many a celebrity wandering through its door, this place manages to pull off that exclusive-yet-relaxed vibe, with just enough class to make diners feel special, but none of the pretentiousness that can come…
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…
Heights
Apex International Hotel, 31–35 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,

The Hidden Lane Tearoom
8 Argyle Court, 1103 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8ND
Despite its less than obvious location, the Hidden Lane Tearoom is often full to bursting so clearly the secret is out – and what a secret it is. The tearoom is set over two tiny floors decorated in a fashion that is clearly a labour of love. The…
Hotel du Vin
11 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EZ
You might be in central Edinburgh, but this is one bistro with a strong French accent. Classic dishes are present and correct: French onion soup, onglet steak, coq au vin, boudin blanc and so on. And the vin, oh the vin…..over 700 choices. The…
Iggs
15 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
The sister restaurant of the quick and easy tapas bar Barioja next door, Iggs is a more formal dining experience which deserves the respect that goes with its long standing on Edinburgh’s Spanish dining scene. More than a decade old, it still presents…
The Inn at Lathones
Largoward,
by St Andrews,
Fife,
KY9 1JE
This unprepossessing looking, white-walled inn is full of surprises. It’s home to Scotland’s smallest music festival, attracting names from the Rolling Stones and 10cc. There are rock star-style luxury suites. The food’s pretty glamorous too. Quite…
Kama Sutra
331 Sauchiehall Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3HW
It may be part of the Harlequin Group behind the Ashoka curry houses, but expect something a little different upon entering this welcoming Sauchiehall Street restaurant. A desire to offer a broader choice than the Punjabi cuisine normally associated…
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…
Metro Brasserie and Café Bar
Apex International Hotel, 31–35 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HS
Metro Brasserie fills the barn-like ground and basement floors of the Apex City Hotel in buzzing Grassmarket. Ground-floor diners eat at small window tables with views of the castle, while the basement level seems reserved for larger hen or birthday…
Metro West End Brasserie
Apex European Hotel, 90 Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LQ
Smart contemporary décor and the west end location of Metro Brasserie make it an obvious destination for business professionals and tourists alike, just a five-minute walk from Haymarket train station. The same menu applies for lunch and dinner, but…
Mezbaan South Indian Restaurant
14/14a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
This unassuming Tollcross eatery packs some serious culinary clout with Shabu Natarajan – UK South Asian Chef of the Year 2010 – in the kitchen. Though sparsely decorated and rather cramped, Mezbaan’s main attraction is undoubtedly the food. On the…
Number One
1 Princes Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EQ
Beneath one of Edinburgh's most landmark buildings, Michelin-starred Number One cocoons diners from the outside world within its low-ceilinged, luxurious, deep crimson interior. From start to finish, it’s clear that great care has been taken to ensure…
1 Bistro @ Downstairs (Alla Turca)
192 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DY
1 Bistro is a 'basement extension' to the popular Alla Turca. The basement itself is not always open but the downstairs (discount) menu will be available by reservation. If that sounds confusing, the layout of the menu requires patience too: there is a…
Prezzo
25 Pier Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4LP
Prezzo in Edinburgh's Newhaven Harbour is one of two sojourns north of the border for an ambitious London-based chain that aims to offer value-for-money Italian food in stylish contemporary surrounds. An aim which has, to some extent, been accomplished…
Rhubarb
Prestonfield House, Priestfield Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5UT
Sited in an opulent 17th-century mansion in extensive grounds beneath Arthur’s seat, Prestonfield House Hotel and its restaurant, Rhubarb, is a far cry from the slice of suburbia nearby. Inside, layers of rich textiles and heavy prints combine in great…

Edinburgh,
EH10 4NP
