Empires
24 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SU
There’s a dark, exotic, Aladdin’s Cave feel to Empires – a one-off kind of place that has walls covered with Middle Eastern fabrics and tiles, multi-coloured globe lamps dangling from the ceiling, and an upstairs seating area full of scatter cushions…
Circus
8 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SU
The stone-walled courtyard in the back of this Old Town café/ restaurant is a mini sun-trap in the summer, and a good spot for enjoying some calm while the High Street might be getting unpleasantly hectic with crowds. Circus is run by the same folks who…
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BX
In the mini Middle Eastern pocket growing around Edinburgh's Mosque, which began with Kebab Mahal and Jordan Valley and continues with the newly added Mosque Kitchen and Nawroz, Beirut adds Lebanese food to the mix. Owner Ahmed Saadi opened in 2010, and…
Brazilian Sensation
117–119 Buccleuch Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Open since 1998, this Brazilian restaurant in the Southside has been helping the people of Edinburgh delude themselves – despite any cold temperatures or grey skies – that they are in fact somewhere tropical, where the sun shines and the dancing never…
Joseph Pearce’s
23 Elm Row,
Edinburgh,
EH7 4AA
Pearce's huge popularity is testament to the warm and genuine welcome it extends to a diverse clientele. During the day a raised area to the back is a family-friendly haven, stocked with all the toys, highchairs and feeding paraphernalia that junior…
My Big Fat Greek Kitchen
6 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
The back room of this Tollcross restaurant is decorated with a giant floor to ceiling photo of Santorini – where whitewashed villas zigzag the hillside down to turquoise seas below. The whole experience of My Big Fat Greek Kitchen aims to magic up…
El Quijote
13a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
This modest little Brougham street restaurant is the sort of place you’d be happy to find in the narrow streets of Seville. Just as well, as that’s precisely what Andalusian owners Oscar Mateos and Maria Giminez set out to do. It’s not exactly smart…
Gourmet Burger Kitchen
137 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JY
The wide-ranging burger menu – from conventional beef to lamb and even buffalo – suggests that Gourmet Burger Kitchen is all ready to deliver on its name’s promise. And indeed, their textbook cheeseburger, a well-constructed panko-crumbed chicken burger…
Indaba
3 Lochrin Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9QJ
This tapas restaurant combines the national cuisines of its owners (three, now two, after one left to have a baby) and serves Venezuelan, South African and Spanish dishes. But that’s where the ‘fusion’ stops – there are no experimental crosses here…
Khublai Khan Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant
43 Assembly Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7BQ
Mongolia may be best known for its goat broth, yak butter and fermented mare’s milk, but it’s the sheer incongruity of Khublai Khan’s that draws most people in. Although there is an element of gimmickry – not least the chance (by prior arrangement) to…
Falko (Konditormeister)
185 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DG
A firm fixture on Edinburgh’s foodie scene Falko continues to deliver goods be it rye breads, pastries or some of the finest, traditional cakes outside of central Europe. Produced to strict standards, no raising agents are used in the cakes, only beaten…
Café Cossachok
Trongate 103, 10 King Street,
Glasgow,
G1 5QP
It may sound like a cliché, but there is quite literally nowhere like Café Cossachok, the ‘first and only authentic Russian Restaurant’ in Scotland. Despite having opened in 1998, on entering there is still the feeling of discovering a rare…
Khublai Khan Mongolian Barbecue Restaurant
26 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
Kublai Khan takes culinary inspiration from the way 13th century Mongolian warriors said to have cooked their food over a campfire, on upturned. Diners can choose their starters – which range from vegetable wontons served with a sweet and sour dipping…
Elià
24 George Square,
Glasgow,
G2 1EG
Before being known for being nearly bankrupt, the Greeks were known as great philosophers. It makes sense then that the Grecian brain behind Elia has a good philosophy behind his food. You wouldn’t realise it at first glance of the menu – humus, olives…
Buzzy's Restaurant and Bar
Princes Square, 48 Buchanan Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3JX
Apparently popular with parents looking for a place to park bags of shopping whilst their little darlings run amok around the shopping centre terrace, Buzzy’s isn’t the place to go if you’re looking for a refined restaurant. However, if you’re looking…
The Calabash Restaurant
57 Union Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3RB
What The Calabash Restaurant lacks in interior décor, it makes up for in brilliantly imaginative cooking. Located down a steep flight of stairs at an unremarkable Union Street address, the menu is packed with colourful dishes from all over Africa…
Anatolia Chargrill
140 St Vincent St,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
On arrival at Anatolia Chargrill, olives and fresh bread with dipping oil are brought to the table, giving you something to nibble whilst perusing the menu. It’s worth ordering a tasting selection as there are several interesting hot and cold options…
Nur
22 Bridge Street,
Glasgow,
G5 9HR
Run by a Scots-Egyptian couple, Nur is an oasis of warmth, friendliness and good food. A cosy mezzanine is furnished with low tables, divans and plenty of cushions, while the downstairs dining space is dotted with shisha pipes, papyrus and pottery. As…
Viva Brazil
87–91 Bothwell Street,
Glasgow,
G2 7AA
This Brazilian-style steakhouse makes the slightly threatening claim: ‘We won't stop serving you meats until you tell us to!’. This is no exaggeration. 'Passadors' or meat carvers, flit from table to table, serving up sausages and cuts of pork, beef…
Babylon Café
Clyde Place,
Glasgow,
G5 8AQ
This new Persian and Middle Eastern venture sits with an Indian curry house to its left and an Egyptian restaurant to the right – which sort of makes sense in world terms. It's nothing fancy inside – clean, crisp lines and tables hugging the walls on…
Alla Turca
192 Pitt Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4DY
Alla Turca mixes Scottish and Turkish fare well. The seafood salad of calamari and swordfish is the perfect size to whet your appetite, and is one of many interesting starters. These include carpaccio made with Scottish beef, olive oil and watercress…
Tropeiro
363 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8LT
To Brazilians, barbecues are a serious business. Not content with a limp sausage cooked on a flimsy foil dish, in Brazil huge haunches of meat are roasted over open flames, then carved directly onto your plate. If you enjoy the meat sweats, this is for…
The Bay Tree Café
403 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
Around since 1960, the Bay Tree Café has a relaxed air to it, the walls and shelves decorated with various Arabian/Mediterranean knick-knacks. If the décor evokes one region though, then the menu is far broader ranging. The breakfast menu is available…
The Greek Golden Kebab
34 Sinclair Drive,
Glasgow,
G42 9QE
‘Other restaurants want money, we want to please the people,’ Mrs Kyriacou proudly declares from the tiny kitchen at the back of delightfully over-decorated restaurant. The family has been cheerily filling bellies here since 1972, little has changed and…
Stravaigin
28–30 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
As this place pops up in most Glasgow guides, many a nationality can be found rubbing shoulders with die-hard regulars enjoying interesting Scottish produce given an international twist. Stravaigin’s well-known branding is ‘think local, eat global’. The…
