Argan Café
1166-1170 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED
Review written spring 2007.
The décor of Argan Café is airy, reasonably elegant and quietly welcoming: white walls, wooden flooring and the choice of art conspire to create an impression of suave…
Aziza Café Bazaar
407 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
In early 2007, tiny Aziza Café Bazaar on Great Western Road moved to more spacious accommodation on the other side of Kelvin Bridge. The additional room allows charming owner Azmina Ali to up the ante on special event nights, which range from guest…
Baraka
3-5 Infirmary Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1LT
This Infirmary Street restaurant has undergone several changes of identity in recent years. Now operating under the name of Baraka, the venture appears to be attempting to be all things to all bon viveurs, with a spacious bar-restaurant offering several…
El Barrio
119 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DT
Having relocated from its previous West Port location last year, this thriving Latin American bar and restaurant has had a real injection of fresh energy. The small entrance belies the expansive and stylish subterranean space, and the dark décor is…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
This West End stalwart has long been popular with those looking for something a bit different. While the city offers more in this vein today, the Bay Tree remains a favourite of vegetarians and vegans (it was once completely meat-free). It draws…
Bigos
277 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
With its honest home-cooking, Bigos, the capital's first Polish restaurant, has set the bar high for any competition. Brothers Tadeusz and Dariusz Krzysiak named the place after their national dish (a stew of sauerkraut, meat and mushrooms), and, with…
Brazilian Sensation
117-119 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Brazilian Sensation may be of modest size with a laid-back café ambience, but it's a place of unique culinary delights. The lunch menu features a wide selection of hot snacks, organic rolls and baguettes at bargain prices, as well as some invigorating…
Brel
39-43 Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SG
Scotland
These days, the only indoor smoker here is Jacques Brel, whose steely visage in various black and white portraits is exempt from the ban. The bar/restaurant bearing his name is the sole dedicated Belgian operation in Glasgow, and little has needed…
Café Cossachok
Russian Cultural Centre 38 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QP
Scotland
Forget frugality. Russia - that is 'all the Russias', from the Baltic to the Black Sea - arguably invented global cuisine long before it became fashionable, with culinary influences from fringe Asiatic regions to old Europe joining forces effectively.
Calistoga
93 St Leonard's Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
This intimate little space tucked away off the beaten track in the Southside is a unique and entertaining Californian dining experience with plenty of chutzpah and confidence about it. The menu is as forward thinking and eclectic as you might imagine…
Collage
Radisson SAS Hotel, 301 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
One of the Radisson SAS hotel's two restaurants, Collage deserves to be busier than it is. Inside, bright paper tablecloths with food-related scribblings, colourful screens and wall hangings lend an air of cosy informality to the room, where the service…
Cottier's
93-95 Hyndland Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5PX
Dowanhill Parish Church is a listed 19th century landmark which, for the past 15 years, has assumed the name of its original interior designer, Daniel Cottier. This multi-purpose venue has become an attractive West End hub that boasts one of Glasgow's…
Coyaba
113 Buccleuch Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
What better way to blot out a dreich Edinburgh evening than a sojourn to Scotland's first Jamaican restaurant? The bright décor, reggae soundtrack and well-stocked bar with its enticing cocktail selection are easily evocative of paradise, while, for…
Cuba Norte
192 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8EB
Despite its inauspicious surroundings and out-of-the-way location on Morrison Street, Cuba Norte offers a lively alternative to the West End's typical dining and after-work drinks venues. A sleek, open bar stretches into a more relaxed bistro-style area…
La Cuchara Negra
3 Grove Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AF
La Cuchara Negra (the black spoon) has been something of a work in progress since it opened in spring 2006, and with lunchtime trading planned for mid-2007, this tiny Latin American restaurant is showing it has a big heart. There's no trace of a tacky…
Efes
42 Leven Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LJ
This kebab shop is such a Tollcross institution it seems as if it has been around since the beginning of time. The staff are always polite and helpful, although this doesn't matter in the slightest to the shop's many loyal customers, who come for the…
Empires
24 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SU
It's hard to define Empires, a Turkish café-cum-ceramic shop, but this quirky, chaotic little place has an exotic charm all of its own. Downstairs, an eclectic mix of artworks, wall-hangings, ceramics and trinkets bathe in the glow of colourful…
Europa
8-10 West George Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1DR
Football looms large in this busy city centre café-bar by Queen Street station, from the giant screen in the pub to numerous smaller versions above the comfortable dining booths in the adjoining restaurant wing. There's even another (rain-proof) model…
The Greek Golden Kebab
34 Sinclair Drive, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9QE
The Greek Golden Kebab isn't so much a restaurant as a licensed embassy for Greek Cypriot hospitality - a small but virtually perfectly-formed taverna bedecked with innumerable images and memorabilia of Cyprus, with jolly bazouki music completing the…
Hanam's
13a Brougham Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
A relatively recent addition to Edinburgh's culinary map, Hanam's already commands a loyal following, thanks to proprietor Jamal Ahmed, who works hard to create an authentic Kurdish dining experience. While this extends to dressing in Kurdish costume…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
The first thing you see when you step inside this delightful authentic Turkish restaurant is the grinning face of owner and chef Gursel Bahar in his open kitchen, radiating confidence throughout this tight little operation. A handful of tables are…
International Starters
82 Commercial Quay, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
There's a pretty strong clue in the name of this Leith restaurant about what you get on your plate, and that's because this bustling and fun venue has one overriding gimmick: the menu consists entirely of starters or appetisers from around the world.
Khublai Khan Mongolian Barbecue
43 Assembly Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7BQ
Foreign cuisines take many shapes and forms across Edinburgh, but the premise for this one is surely the strangest of all. First, take your 13th century Mongolian warrior's shield, locate a handy campfire, use the shield as a big frying pan then throw…
Khublai Khan
26 Candleriggs, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
While not yet competing with the longevity of the medieval Khan dynasties, this popular Mongolian-themed restaurant has been a Candleriggs mainstay for almost a decade. A giant wall frieze of an advancing Mongol army immediately grabs your attention…
The Khukuri Nepalese Restaurant
8 West Maitland Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DS
The unprepossessing exterior of this place makes it easy to overlook in the bustling West End and, inside, the narrow and somewhat cramped surroundings do little to raise expectations. There may be an idiosyncratic approach to the interior décor, but…
