The Grill Room at the Square
29 Royal Exchange Square,
Glasgow,
G1 3AJ
With stylish private bars and a swanky spa on the same level as the restaurant, this members-only club has thankfully kept its dining room doors open to mere mortals – apart from Saturdays after 7pm. Mirrors, polished surfaces and full-length windows…
The Kitchin
78 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
He trained at some of Europe's finest restaurants under Pierre Koffman and Alain Ducasse, so it is not surprising that Tom Kitchin has made such a fast success of his Leith establishment. He returned to Scotland two years ago and within six months had…
Urban Bar & Brasserie
23–25 St Vincent Place,
Glasgow,
G1 2DT
Elegance and glamour are evident when you enter this venture owned by the team behind the successful Gamba restaurant. Dark wood flooring, black leather banquettes and white linen table clothes give a classic feel to the dining room, while a centrepiece…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
To wander through Broomhill, at least up the Crow Road from Partick towards Anniesland, is to witness a dearth of dining out options. But amid the virtual desert this oasis emerges modestly amid of a row of shops. The former Café Royale, An Lochan is…
Guy's
24 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1LD
Guy's twinkles warmly in the Merchant City firmament. It's a big, long room, but you can feel at home amid the accumulated bric-a-brac sprinkled lightly about the interior. These include Mexican Day of the Dead plates, an imposing carved bird lectern…
Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
The grand looking Òran Mór, a converted sandstone church overlooking Byres Road and the Botanic Gardens, attempts to cater for the varied wants of trendy West End locals by being all things to all punters: restaurant (see Scottish), club, theatre, bar…
Fishers in the City
58 Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EN
This busy, townie sister of the fabulous original at the Shore has gained a great reputation for finesse and atmosphere since it opened in 2001. It's chock-a-block all day (booking is essential), and, in the evening, the shoppers and business lunchers…
Gamba
225a West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2ND
Gamba celebrates its tenth anniversary in 2008, and one would be hard-pressed to name a more consistently excellent, top-end restaurant in Glasgow over the same time period. It's not only that chef and co-owner Derek Marshall doesn't ever settle for…
No. Sixteen
16 Byres Road,
Glasgow,
G11 5JY

Fishers Bistro
1 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QW
Ah, Fishers – this place just does it better. From the wood-panelled entrance into the circular bar area to the view out to the Water of Leith from the dining room, the relaxed but superlative service all adds to the star of the show here: the food. The…
The Grain Store
30 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
Overlooking one of Edinburgh's most attractive streets, the Grain Store is a capital institution, and has been under the stewardship of chef Carlo Coxon and manager Paul MacPhail for more than 15 years. A warm greeting awaits you after the climb up from…
Ubiquitous Chip
12 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
With its fish-filled pond, cobbled courtyard and abundant plant life tumbling from overhead beams, this is as close as one can get to dining in the elegant Victorian glasshouses of the Kibble Palace up the road. The theatrical al fresco atmosphere is…
Duck's at Le Marché Noir
14 Eyre Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5EP
If you are looking for an intimate dining experience with attentive service and classic, well-executed cooking, Duck's certainly fits the bill. It may be a bit out of the centre for true urbanites but it's certainly worth the walk down that steep hill.
Number One
1 Princes Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EQ
This is no ordinary hotel restaurant, which is hardly surprising given that it is situated in the basement of the Balmoral, Edinburgh's grandest hotel. However, Number One is surprisingly cosy for a sophisticated and contemporary Michelin-starred…
Restaurant Martin Wishart
54 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6RA
With its chic, neutral colour scheme, soft carpeting and cream upholstering, Restaurant Martin Wishart wears its Michelin star with Hollywood ease. The food is so mind-alteringly pleasurable, so far removed from mere sustenance that you might forget…
The Witchery by the Castle
Castlehill, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NF
The Witchery must have witnessed a fair few proposals over the years. The combination of oak-panelled walls, red leather upholstery, tapestries and antique brass candlesticks makes the atmosphere in the historic 16th century building nothing short of…
Michael Caines @ ABode
129 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2SZ
Situated off the foyer of Glasgow's grand ABode hotel, chef Michael Caines' restaurant emits a sense of assured calm thanks to the sunny, efficient staff and some subtle orange back-lighting. Underneath a high, mirrored wall sit banquettes of dark grey…
The Sizzling Scot Steakhouse & Grill
103–105 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AB

Circus Wine Bar & Grill
58a North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LU
Tucked discreetly away from the style bar excess of the west end of George Street, Circus offers an oasis of refined charm, albeit of the more old-school variety. Entering through a small foyer, complete with decorative piano, diners are received in a…
La Garrigue
31 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DH
La Garrigue takes its name from the Languedoc region of France and this dictates the style of food and wine on the menu. Warm orange and red-hued paintings from the area line the white wood-panelled walls and are also for sale, and hand-carved chunky…
Stravaigin
28–30 Gibson Street,
Glasgow,
G12 8NX
With more foodies demanding the best of world flavours without the carbon footprint to match, never has Stravaigin's motto 'think global, eat local' been more appropriate. The ever-evolving menu ticks all the latest food fashion boxes, and features…
First Coast
97–101 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AB
What inspired Skye-born brothers Alan and Hector MacRae to open First Coast, slightly off the beaten track on Edinburgh's Dalry Road, is something of a mystery. That said, a restaurant with such a simple, adaptable ethos – local, good value produce…
Oloroso
33 Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DN
With its sleek linear stylings, bold yellow flashes and adjoining cocktail bar, Oloroso cut quite a dash when its elevator first sprang open back in 2001. Since then, while nearby George Street competitors have been catching up in the style stakes, Tony…

Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JF

Edinburgh,

Plumed Horse
50–54 Henderson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6DE
A year or so after upping sticks from Dumfriesshire and trotting off to this unprepossessing Leith corner – surrendering its Michelin star on the way – there are signs that the Plumed Horse's teething problems have been tempered. Subtle refinements…
Stac Polly
29–33 Dublin Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6NL
For visitors to Edinburgh the Stac Polly restaurants are probably the most conspicuously 'Scottish' in town. Nonetheless, the newest of the city's three branches, in St Mary's Street, is more restrained in its approach. Muted tartans complement…
Stravaigin 2
8 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG
Down the cobbled alleys of Ruthven Lane, Stravaigan 2 welcomes you into an intimate dining space with a real homey feel – glowing light from small burgundy lampshades and the dim buzz of chattering voices set the mood. One wall is completely covered by…
Piccolo Mondo
344 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G2 8LY
Piccolo Mondo (meaning 'small world') is the reincarnation of a once award-winning Renfrew restaurant of the same name, opened in 1974 by Tony and Giuliana Pierotti. After selling up in 1989, the couple missed the place so much that they opted to give…
Rhubarb
Prestonfield House, Priestfield Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5UT
Rhubarb is just a ten-minute drive from the city centre but in that short time you are transported into a parallel world of glamour and decadence. After sweeping up the drive towards the stunningly baroque Prestonfield House Hotel, where this restaurant…
Two Fat Ladies at the Buttery
652 Argyle Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8UF
Since taking over the venerable Buttery, owner Ryan James seems to have safely ensconced the Two Fat Ladies philosophy amid a historic and salubrious setting. The place feels less nicotine-stained and cluttered, but it still has classy touches from the…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
Eating at Bellini, with its grand, welcoming dining room complete with chandeliers, candle-light and background opera music, is an experience to be savoured. This New Town gem is no place for a quick, cheap meal, so settle in and soak up the sumptuous…
Bistro at One Devonshire Gardens
1 Devonshire Gardens,
Glasgow,
G12 OUX
Maintaining a relaxed air of elegance and sophistication without straying too far into the realms of elitism or pretentiousness, One Devonshire Gardens remains an address of note for the Glasgow gourmet. The 'simple classics' menu showcases the best of…

97–99 Candleriggs,
Glasgow,
G1 1NP
Celebrating its 20th birthday this year, the City Merchant restaurant offers its loyal clientele an extensive menu showcasing the very best of Scottish produce. Fresh lobster, oysters, platters of shellfish, venison served rare with rowan jelly, and…
The Grill at Dakota Forthbridge
Dakota Forthbridge, Ferrymuir Retail Park,
South Queensferry,
EH30 9QZ
The cool, modern façade of Dakota at the Forth Road Bridge has an intriguing and slightly aloof quality. For those passing it on the A90, it looks like the headquarters of a spy agency. For those inside, it's a sumptuous hotel with an equally stylish…
Brian Maule at Chardon d'Or
176 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RL
It's seven years since Brian Maule moved back to his native Scotland to develop his philosophy of bold, classic cuisine (initially nurtured by the brothers Roux in London). In this time, Chardon d'Or has become one of Glasgow's few destination…
Rogano
11 Exchange Place,
Glasgow,
G1 3AN
The art deco interiors of this true Glasgow landmark are as sharp and satisfying as they were when they were installed some 73 years ago. Beautiful wood veneers and gesso panels in the oyster bar and main dining room augment a cosseted environment to…
Santini Restaurant
8 Conference Square,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AN
Saddled with a reputation for being stylish but expensive, Santini – now a single venue created from the two that existed previously – has often failed to earn the attention it deserves for its food. The glass front of the dining room lends it a…
Channings Restaurant
12–16 South Learmonth Gardens, Comely Bank,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1EZ
Tucked away down a small cobbled street, Channings Hotel is not the sort of place you'd stumble across by chance. Just a few steps down from the street there's a low-lit oasis of quiet elegance waiting to be discovered. While in truth it may not be…
North Bridge Brasserie
20 North Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1YT
Already highly regarded for stylish, good-quality food and service, North Bridge Brasserie (part of the Scotsman Hotel) was about to undergo a comprehensive refurbishment as we went to press in April 2008. The heritage-listed wood and marble features…
Rococo
202 West George Street,
Glasgow,
G2 2NR
Abstract, aquamarine glass panels and sparkling pinpoint ceiling lights lend Rococo an air of cool elegance, while the linen settings and grown-up wine list add enough formality for even the most special of occasions. Unusually, dietary requirements are…
The Atholl Dining Room
The Howard Hotel, 34 Great King Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QH
The dining room of this smart New Town hotel has a subtle formality and elegance well suited to its menu. Above the fireplace hangs a mural of a pastoral scene by the famous Edinburgh house painter David Roberts, setting the tone of the restaurant…
The Inn at Kippen
Fore Road,
Kippen,
FK8 3DT
A leisurely drive along country roads between Glasgow and Stirling brings you to the Inn at Kippen. During colder months, the Inn has a comforting feel, with a welcoming open coal fire radiating warmth throughout the cosy dining space while the buzz of…
Braidwoods
Drumastle Mill Cottage, Saltcoats Road,
by Dalry,
KA24 4LN
Braidwoods exudes quiet confidence: the small dining room doesn't cram in the linen-clad tables, ostentation is limited to a few colourful original paintings, and there's no music to distract. It's 14 years since Keith and Nicola Braidwood took over a…
Camerons
Glasgow Hilton, 1 William Street,
Glasgow,
G3 8HT
Recently refurbished and under the new management of the hyper-efficient William Leslie Birch, Camerons – situated in a ground-floor corner of Glasgow's high-rise Hilton – has ditched its fusty Scottish country house past for dark wood fittings and bold…
The Grill at Dakota Eurocentral
Dakota Hotel, Shawfoot Road, Eurocentral Business Park, M8,
Motherwell,
ML1 4WJ
The Dakota Hotel is a gloss-black, armoured monolith sheathed in a cobalt glow that stands guard over the Eurocentral interchange on the M8, ten miles from Glasgow's centre. Past the forebidding exterior, the inside is altogether warmer and more…
La Parmigiana
447 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8HH
The longevity of La Parmigiana, which celebrates its 30th anniversary in 2008, is attributable to its doing a number of things very well and one or two superbly. The petite dining room exudes refinement, with pristine table linen offset by vibrant red…
Haldanes
13b Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QG
Down below Dundas Street's many private art galleries, Haldanes Scottish restaurant is frequented by New Town locals and tourists who happen upon it. Dimmed lighting and Jack Vettriano paintings adorning the walls will not be to everyone's taste and…
The Cameron Grill
De Vere Cameron House Hotel,
by Balloch,
G83 89Z
Cameron House is undergoing a period of dynamic revitalisation and investment under owners De Vere, securing the hotel, spa and new championship golf course as the most prominent upmarket resort in the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park.
Creel Restaurant
The Harbour, 25 Lamer Street,
Dunbar,
East Lothian,
EH42 1HJ
Creel Restaurant enjoys a prime location just a block away from the harbour at Dunbar. The interior is sparsely decorated with low wooden ceilings, stripped floors and dark wood furniture, but there's very little need for fancy flourishes – the food's…
Forth Floor Restaurant
Harvey Nichols, 30–34 St Andrew Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AD
If you've ever shopped in Harvey Nichols, or even just walked past the window displays, you've probably got a pretty good idea of what its restaurant would look like. Retro-futuristic stylings, crisp white tablecloths and mood lighting from what appear…
La Bonne Auberge
161 West Nile Street,
Glasgow,
G1 2RL
Long established in the heart of so-called Theatreland, La Bonne Auberge occupies a corner of the Holiday Inn near Glasgow's Royal Concert Hall and the soaring Cineworld tower. This subdued, low-lit restaurant deserves praise for maintaining a distinct…
The Howgate Bar & Restaurant
Howgate Village,
Near Penicuik,
Midlothian,
EH26 8PY
You'll need your wits about you to find this countryside inn not far from Penicuik, but tracking it down is well worth the effort. Now in its tenth year, the converted stables are deceptively spacious inside, but both the casual bistro area and the more…
Restaurant at the Bonham
35 Drumsheugh Gardens,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7RN
The Bonham is one of the more stylish hotels in Edinburgh and its restaurant has much to commend it. Within these chic and contemporary surroundings, French chef Michel Bouyer skilfully combines quality local organic produce to impressive effect.
Cringletie House Hotel
Edinburgh Road,
Peebles,
EH45 8PL
Cringletie House Hotel is the sort of place to keep in mind if you like to plan a day out round Sunday lunch, or an indulgent afternoon tea of dainty sandwiches and home-made scones with cream and jam. There has been a house on this spot above the…
La Potinière
Main Street,
Gullane,
East Lothian,
EH31 2AA
Award-winning food is often accompanied by a great deal of pomp, but this modest restaurant has simple décor and refreshingly relies on the appreciative chatter of diners – rather than a stereo – for atmosphere. It's clear that the focus here is on the…
Fouters Bistro
2a Academy Street,
Ayr,
KA7 1HS
Since assuming ownership in late 2006, chef George Ramage (previously at Arran's Auchrannie resort and other places) has put his stamp on this Ayr landmark restaurant without changing the feel of the place. Located in a stone basement – once 18th…
The Sorn Inn
35 Main Street, Sorn,
KA5 6HU
The Sorn Inn earns many plaudits for putting a quiet little Ayrshire village on the map, among them a much-prized Michelin Bib Gourmand for 'good food at moderate prices'. This old whitewashed inn has a dual personality: a spacious dining room…
