A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LU
If you pitch up here late or without booking, it may be wise to have a plan B. On sunny days, the waterside tables outside fill up fast with people enjoying a platter of mussels and a well chosen glass, while for chillier occasions, there’s candle…
The Abbotsford
3 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
Many of Edinburgh’s traditional, independent pubs have disappeared in recent years, replaced by heavily branded chains. So, when a perennial favourite remains untouched, it must be doing something right. The Abbotsford continues to offer amicable…
Above Abbotsford
3-5 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
The Abbotsford has been a bastion of the Rose Street scene since the Jenner family commissioned the present building in 1902. The restaurant 'Above' may not have quite the authenticity of the bar at street level, but there’s enough ornate dark wood and…
Agenda
92/98 Corstorphine Road,
Edinburgh,
EH12 8AT
Glass-fronted and set back from St John's Road on the main Corstorphine drag, Agenda is a bar, restaurant and hotel. In the comfy bar area, which contains scattered leather sofas, you'll find a younger crowd drinking and listening to the latest tunes.
Agua
Apex City Hotel, 61 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JF
The leading restaurant in the set of three Apex Hotels in Edinburgh, Agua, as the name implies, offers some piscine-influenced dining. The loss of the fresh crustacean menu is a bitter blow, but the canny owners of Agua have racked up the ambition of…
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 Albanach
197 High Street, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PE
Right on the Royal Mile, the Albanach tempts tourists with a safe Scottish menu. Its bar, stocking 103 whiskies, leads to a wood and stone dining area out back. One may or may not appreciate the 'modern tartan' walls adorned with patriotic statements…
All Bar One
Exchange Plaza, 50 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BY
Once upon a time, All Bar One was the fresh-faced, exclusive bar-about-town frequented by apple flirtini-sipping suits. While never quite diverting the gastro-pub experts, it did embed the wine bar-diner concept in the nation's consciousness. But the…
All Bar One
29–31 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PA
Once upon a time, All Bar One was the fresh-faced, exclusive bar-about-town frequented by apple flirtini-sipping suits. While never quite diverting the gastro-pub experts, it did embed the wine bar-diner concept in the nation's consciousness. But the…
Always Sunday
170 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QS
This blueprint for a successful café is as easy as a Sunday morning. The clear glass frontage provides space, light and the perfect vantage point from which to spy on tourists photographing the Royal Mile. A fresh and very friendly tearoom, Always…
Amarone
13 St Andrew Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2BH
Having stood empty for a time after Grape wine bar drained away, this prime and airy site looking onto St Andrew Square has been swept up into the Glasgow-based Di Maggio’s chain. They've recreated the theme of their original west coast branch of…
Amicus Apple
17 Frederick Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EY
For five years now, Amicus Apple has been the preferred venue of many for after-work cocktails. The bar, which also has outdoor seating, is decked out with comfortable sofas and bright lighting to help overcome its subterranean feel without detracting…
Angels With Bagpipes
343 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PW
The Royal Mile has a new charmer in residence. Sleek, modern, understated and calming, Angels with Bagpipes encapsulates many of the characteristics of its owner Marina Crolla, making you feel immediately welcome and at ease. Like Marina, this place is…
Ann Purna
45 St Patrick's Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9ET
Having undergone a makeover in 2008, the white tablecloths, lace curtains and doilies that once gave Ann Purna the air of a 1950s living room have been replaced by an unfussy but smart, contemporary décor. The cosy St Patrick’s Square restaurant still…
Anteaques
17 Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9JH
If Alice in Wonderland had a local, it would be Anteaques. For a start, co-owner and antiques dealer Cedric is a small, very friendly, quick man who wears a waistcoat and pocket watch. He’s also brave: this is a tightly packed antiques shop, bursting…
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.
Appetite Direct
42 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Most of Appetite Direct’s business is outside catering, from small private dinners to weddings and gallery openings. So it follows that their shop is no run-of-the mill deli. It’s a wonder what they produce from the small kitchen every day: several…
L'Aquila Bianca
17 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
L'Aquila Bianca is the grand old dame of Edinburgh chippies, with a shelf full of awards and numerous press clippings adorning its pristine walls. This Stockbridge favourite attracts punters from across the city as a result of the quality of both its…
Assembly
41 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
A popular student venue despite – or indeed perhaps because of – its closeness to the ubiquitous student unions. No doubt another plus is its good value food and two-for-one drinks deals. The battered leather sofas and twinkling fairy lights are…
The Atholl Dining Room
The Howard Hotel, 34 Great King Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QH
The Atholl Dining Room speaks in hushed tones. First, step into the tranquil world of the Howard Hotel, set in a Georgian townhouse on the grand parade that is Great King Street. You can ponder the Atholl's concise but interesting menu from the comfort…
The Auld Hoose
23–25 St Leonards Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QN
If the key to a successful pub is being different, the Auld Hoose is guaranteed to thrive. The bare wooden floors, neutral walls and central bar all point to an atmosphere that is repeated across the city – but, on closer inspection, this place differs…
Avoca Bar & Grill
4-6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
Just a few steps from the hurly burly of Stockbridge, Avoca attracts more drinkers than diners during the week but normally sees that trend reversed at weekends. A traditional wooden bar is the centrepiece, with stools, settees and a couple of window…
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
The Baked Potato Shop has gained legendary status for keeping the crowds on the Royal Mile well-fed during the month of August. But it isn’t just during the summer that they’re busy. Crisp-skinned and fluffy inside, the potatoes are served in small…
