The Outsider
15/16 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EEThis split-level space is an exercise in sleek, functional mid-century modernism – a combination of whitewashed walls, wood, glass and metal proving perennially popular with Edinburgh’s trendier denizens. A prime Old Town location draws in a steady…
The Gardener's Cottage
1 Royal Terrace Gardens, Edinburgh, EH7 5DXRun by two talented chefs with impressive restaurant experience between them (including The Atrium, The Kitchin, The Outsider, Café St Honore and Falko), Gardener’s Cottage is a relatively new addition to Edinburgh dining. Be transported out of the city…
Timberyard
Formerly of the well-regarded Atrium, the Radford family has converted a cavernous old timber yard into a warm, beautifully designed space, the industrial edges softened by clever use of wood, natural fabrics and light. A short, simply written menu…
Café Gandolfi
64 Albion Street, Glasgow, G1 1NYWith its handsome interior, chunky Tim Stead furniture and globe lights, Café Gandolfi is the granddaddy of Merchant City bohemianism. Serving a mix of clientele from shoppers to concert-goers, it’s been dishing out high-end bistro food for more than 30…
Earthy Canonmills
1–6 Canonmills Bridge, Edinburgh, EH3 5LFEarthy: the name itself reeks of honest-to-goodness wholesomeness and this charmingly decorated Canonmills restaurant certainly delivers on that promise. The place feels rather like a Womble has been brought in to decorate, with found objects and…
Plumed Horse
50–54 Henderson Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6DETo begin at the end – and a mighty fine end indeed, distinguished by desserts as delightful on the eye as the spoon. A vibrant gingerbread mousse contrasts with sweet, crunchy ‘rocks’ of honeycomb, a thing of true beauty. Then nougat parfait, delicately…
Cafezique
66 Hyndland Street, Glasgow, G11 5PTA good local eatery can be hard to find but not in Partick. Cafezique is attached to a delicatessen. Inside, simple décor and a mezzanine level is enjoyed by elegant young ladies chattering over wine with nibbles (olives and cheese fondue). And…
The Kitchin
78 Commercial Quay, Edinburgh, EH6 6LXOf course, you can melt the credit card with the tasting or seasonal menus at this ultra-slick Leith restaurant, but Tom Kitchin has also brought his Michelin-starred brand of fine dining to a refreshingly wide audience of food lovers. A set lunch menu…
Ubiquitous Chip
12 Ashton Lane, Glasgow, G12 8SJAlthough its star has occasionally waned over 40-odd years of serving the West End’s finest, the Chip still holds its own amid the crowded glare and shifting fashions of Ashton Lane, carving a hard-won niche for quality food and metropolitan chic.
Restaurant Martin Wishart
54 The Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6RAIt’s more than that Michelin star. Restaurant Martin Wishart has a certain caché. It is a place to propose, to woo, to seal the deal. If it’s on the expense account, lucky you. If not, buy the ticket, take the ride: choose a tasting menu, with…
Central Market
As the revival for quality, local produce roars on, Central Market rocks up to the scene with its oh-so-fresh ingredients and understatedly chic, shiny venue, ready to take the challenge. Every ingredient down to the delicate leaves of fresh oregano…
The Edwardian Kitchen Restaurant
Pollok House, Pollok Country Park, 2060 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G43 1ATEating at the 18th-century estate house in glorious Pollok Country Park is like being invited for lunch at Downton Abbey. Sitting downstairs in the old kitchen, surrounded by artefacts –- including copper pans and an original cast-iron stove – of the…
Stravaigin
Stravaigin feels as fresh and inventive as when its doors first opened back in 1995. The emphasis on local, seasonal produce combined with a global approach to flavour means even the most jaded palate should find something to please. Look beyond the…
The Dogs
110 Hanover Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DRVeteran restaurateur David Ramsden launched The Dogs in 2008 to an audience hungry for what he would come up with next. The other spin-offs in what became a mini-empire have come and gone but the original has remained and is still undeniably popular.
L'escargot Bleu
The humble snail is a byword for French cuisine and the symbol of the international Slow Food movement, both of which are well represented by this popular Broughton Street restaurant. There’s a real French ambience in the high-ceilinged dining room with…
Field
Field is clearly about one thing, the food. In these austere times, that’s a very good thing. Those behind this simple, stripped-back room near George Square, have tasty credentials. Most recently at The Plumed Horse, chef Gordon Craig and co-owner…
Michael Neave Kitchen & Whisky Bar
21 Old Fishmarket Close, Edinburgh, EH1 1RWAs a young chef you could beaver away in a crowded kitchen being bossed around by someone else, hoping you’ll make it big one day. Or you could just boldly open your own restaurant and strike out alone in the heart of tourist Edinburgh. Which is what…
Number One
1 Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2EQFrom the moment you enter Number One there is little doubt that every aspect of this operation is a very classy affair. The surroundings are stylish and the welcome is warm. This is exactly what you would expect from Michelin-starred fine dining, from…
Restaurant Mark Greenaway
Famed for his television appearances on the Great British Menu, in 2012 Mark Greenaway relocated his restaurant to a new city-centre venue. There are grand plans afoot but for now the stylish and muted interior plays second fiddle to the main star here…
The Witchery by the Castle
One of Edinburgh’s most famous restaurants, celebrated as much for its location near the Castle and historic atmosphere as for the food. There are two distinct dining areas: the darkly romantic 16th- century Witchery, its red leather seats, and old oak…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7NHTo be accurate, A Room in the West End is four rooms in total. Beneath Teuchters Bar on William Street sits a low-ceilinged and lively large one, as well as three snugly private alcoves, perfect if you fancy trysting the night away. Lovers of classic…
The Grain Store
30 Victoria Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2JWGiven its prime location tucked beneath the castle at the heart of the cobbled tourist warren of the Old Town, the Grain Store could be forgiven for just catering to jolly groups, first-time visitors and couples more interested in romance than cuisine.
The Grill on the Corner
21–25 Bothwell Street, Glasgow, G2 6NLWith a wall covered in 1930s mirrors, low-hung chandeliers over tables, plush wallpaper and dark leather seating, there's a feeling of metropolitan luxury here. Staff are smart – not just in dress but also in their knowledge of the fare on offer. Being…
Hellers Kitchen
Don’t be fooled by the modest frontage: Heller’s is bigger on the inside. Like the surprisingly open and spacious interior, the menu expands from lighter daytime café options to a full evening’s culinary revelry, and the daily changing specials board…
