Stac Polly Bistro
38 St Mary's Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1SX
More casual than her New Town sister, the Bistro is bright and airy, with 1790s caricatures of Edinburgh worthies as well as some architectural black and white photos of Edinburgh decorating the walls. The rear dining room has a high shelf of elegant…
Number One
1 Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2EQ
Nestled below the Balmoral Hotel, Number One is a little world of luxury. Blood-red lacquer walls are studded with a vibrant array of artworks, and all is softened by plush, mushroom-coloured furnishings. Bland hotel homogeneity is eschewed in favour of…
Angels With Bagpipes
343 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1PW
Don’t let the High Street buskers put you off. Through the back in the restaurant you won’t hear them. Instead, the smart sophisticated décor and modern tableware sets off an approach to Scottish ingredients that acknowledges centuries of continental…
Tower Restaurant
National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1JF
For the best view in the Southside, try the roof terrace of the Tower, looking over to the Castle. Inside, the National Museum’s restaurant has dark, glossy tables and a modern take on food. Like the crisp fish finger which really tastes of crab.
The Outsider
15/16 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1EE
‘Pink fur potatoes’ is probably a typo, but with a wine list that describes a South African chenin as ‘like falling from a white-water raft whilst passing through a peach grove’, all bets are off. The Outsider buzzes. A suspended mezzanine hovers over a…
Howies (Victoria Street)
10–14 Victoria Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2HG
Long time favourite on the Edinburgh dining scene, the Howies Restaurants group has waxed and waned over the years. Now operating from two locations, their Victoria Street operation, close by the Royal Mile, is well placed for tourists and locals alike.
Whiski Rooms
4, 6 & 7 North Bank Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2LP
Despite sitting in the heart of tourist territory, Whiski Rooms attracts a mixture of diners including professionals, locals of all ages and students, as well as the expected flow of visitors. Created in 2011 from a former bank and bookshop, the Whiski…
Cranston's Restaurant
43 Princes Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2BY

The Magnum Restaurant & Bar
1 Albany Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3PY
A genuinely warm welcome and an impressive côte de boeuf are but two memorable highlights of a visit to the Magnum. Or, there’s the light, thin pastry of crab and Lammermuir smoked cheese tart and its unusual accompanying salad of red peppers and smoked…
Maxies Bistro and Wine Bar
5b Johnston Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2PW
An up-to-date review of Maxies will appear here shortly …

Sweet Melindas
11 Roseneath Street, Edinburgh, EH9 1JH

Castle Terrace
33/35 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2EL
It’s no mean feat to collect a Michelin star just over a year after opening. Nor is it Castle Terrace's only accolade. It’s hard to quibble with any of them. At every level, this relative newcomer excels. Chef Dominic Jack has a dexterity with flavours…
A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6TG
A Room in the Town claims to be the place that ‘started it all’. ‘It’ is using quality Scottish produce to produce excellent eating at reasonable prices. Oh, and in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere too. Nearly 15 years on, this Room is still bang on…
Iglu
2b Jamaica Street, Edinburgh, EH3 6HH
For all that it is tucked at the far end of a side-street, Iglu has established an enviable profile, priding itself on serving seasonal, locally-sourced, organic and wild foods in the cosy upstairs restaurant and downstairs bar area. Proving high…
Kyloe Restaurant & Grill
The Rutland Hotel, 1–3 Rutland Street, Edinburgh, EH1 2AE

Ghillie Dhu

The Stockbridge Restaurant
54 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5AL
Tucked into a two-room basement on St Stephen Street, the Stockbridge Restaurant is a quirky establishment. With its chic black walls, heavy golden drapes and luxurious table settings you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve entered a private boudoir.
Restaurant Martin Wishart
54 The Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6RA
With a Cook School, a second Michelin star restaurant at Cameron House and a recently opened Edinburgh brasserie Martin Wishart could be forgiven for taking his eye off the ball at his signature Leith restaurant. Far from it. If anything Wishart is…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7NH
A cheery atmosphere awaits in a Room in the West End in the basement under Teuchters pub in William Street. With its red walls, chunky furniture and three wee booths at the back if you want a bit of privacy, the style is informal. Here you’ll find…
McKirdy's Steakhouse
151 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8AG

Channings Restaurant
12–16 South Learmonth Gardens, Comely Bank, Edinburgh, EH4 1EZ
Hotel dining rooms doubling as public restaurants face a challenge in being dual-purpose. The terraced basement of Channings doesn’t quite make the transition from residents’ space to dedicated dining, but, on the other hand, has an array and…

The Grill at Dakota Forthbridge
Dakota Forth Bridge, Ferrymuir Retail Park, South Queensferry, EH30 9QZ

The Sunflower Restaurant
4 Bridgegate, Peebles, EH45 8RZ

Osso Restaurant
1 Innerleithen Road, Peebles, Scottish Borders, EH45 8BA
Soup. A cheese plate. Pasta. A pot of tea. You don’t have to go a million miles to find them, but how far do you have to go to find simple things good enough for a Michelin Bib Gourmand two years running? Answer: Peebles' smart little café-restaurant…

Windlestraw Lodge
Tweed Valley, Walkerburn, Scottish Borders, EH43 6AA
The first striking feature of Windlestraw Lodge in Walkerburn overlooking the Tweed Valley is that it inspires a feeling of being enfolded into a family home. This Edwardian country house is now an intimate restaurant with rooms created by chef Alan…
The Kingarroch Inn
5 Main Street, Craigrothie, Fife, KY15 5QA
Never judge a book by its cover because this seemingly simple whitewashed cottage, which sits precariously on a corner of a busy Fife road, might seem a bit bleak and dated yet its below ground level entrance could well be described as a gateway to…
The Inn at Lathones
By Largoward, St Andrews, Fife, KY9 1JE
The Inn at Lathones to the south of St Andrews is around four hundred years old; its age apparent in the stone-clad fireplaces, whitewashed ceilings and exposed roof beams on display. Then, alongside, you'll find gig posters (the former stables now…
