Ruan Mai
176 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4BA
It is easy to dismiss a restaurant that huddles among a gaggle of pubs and fast food outlets on busy Rose Street, but don't let first impressions put you off. You probably still won't be convinced when you enter, as you're confronted by a thatched roof…

Storm
82 West Clyde Street,
Helensburgh,
Argyll,
G84 8BB
They said it would never work in conservative Helensburgh, but classy Storm has gone down as the name suggests: enough diners are braving a waterfront buffeting to make weekend tables scarce. The interior's unfussy whites and the one-page menu's brassy…
