A Room in Leith
1c Dock Place,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LU
There's definitely room for a branch of this well-established Edinburgh chain in Leith, which, over the past few years has been overly dominated by high-brow and fish-based establishments. The Room in Leith has taken over the popular and comfortable…
A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TG
A Room in the Town is a great place to have in the back pocket if you happen to have friends in from, well, out of town. Managing to combine the warmth and friendliness of a neighbourhood restaurant with some seriously fine cooking, it's the kind of…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
Happily roosting under Teuchters bar on upmarket William Street, A Room in the West End shares many a trait with its older New Town sibling – not least its focus on modern Scottish cookery. The option to BYOB also runs in the family, making both popular…
Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
It's important to set aside an entire evening for a visit to Abstract: a quick bite before curtain up at one of the nearby theatres would be doing it a great injustice. There's just so much vying for your attention here, from the mirrored pillars and…
Amber
The Scotch Whisky Experience, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
Amber is ideally placed to capitalise on the tourist trade – it's close to Edinburgh Castle and forms part of the Scotch Whisky Experience – but don't let visitors to the city be the only ones to enjoy its charms. Dispensing with folksiness, Amber…
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…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Co-owners Naveed Rashid and Stephen Bonomi have a passion for quality Scottish produce that makes dining at Arisaig a thoroughly satisfying experience. In this attractive dining room, large, almost abstract paintings of foaming oceans and crashing waves…

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…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Residing in the upper echelons of the capital's food chain since opening in the early 90s, Atrium is clearly unafraid to move with the times. As those with coffers sufficiently well-lined to dine here regularly will know, the venue took a post-Festival…
Bar Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Housed in the loft above the much-loved Café Gandolfi, this warm, tiny bar eschews the cuisine and décor of its older sibling in favour of an identity all of its own. Quirky wooden furniture, steel beams and candlelight reflecting off battered cream…
Barbarossa
3–5 Clarkston Road,
Glasgow,
G44 4EF
Glowing quotes about this Southside restaurant from The List are scattered throughout Barbarossa's official web site. Alas, during our reviewing period in 2008, the operation – which does rather regularly feature on our Hit List of Italian operations…
Bentley's @ the Rascasse
14 Busby Road, Clarkston Toll, Southside,
Glasgow,
G76 7XL
The Rascasse, a funky style bar in the Southside suburb of Clarkston, takes its name from a hairpin turn on Monte Carlo's famous Grand Prix circuit. The restaurant here, Bentley's, is a more sedate affair - think limo, not hot-rod - compared with the…
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…

Glasgow,
G3 8AN
With a name meaning 'taste' or 'relish' in Gaelic, Blas proudly offers tastes of the Highlands and Islands in produce such as Stornoway black pudding, Ullapool smoked salmon and Dingwall haggis. Fittingly, it's situated close to many of the city's…
Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
Jokes mocking the fairer-haired may be ten-a-penny but this Blonde is certainly no dummy. Situated in a sleepy Southside street, the restaurant positively buzzes during the Festival due to its proximity to the Pleasance, but pulls in a regular crowd…
Borough
72–80 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PY
Borough has long been one of Edinburgh's best-kept secrets, serving up cocktails and chilled beats, but just beyond the retro chic of the bar rests a small but perfectly formed restaurant. Mellow lighting from a galaxy of small, scattered light bulbs…

Glasgow,
G41 3DN

The Bothy
11 Ruthven Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 9BG

Bouzy Rouge
71 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LP
An impressive interior of floor-to-ceiling cream and green glazed tiles, scarlet banquettes, deep red carpets and white tablecloths lends this venue an Edwardian elegance and charm. Although it's lost 'Seafood & Grill' from its name (since the original…
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…
The Brasserie at Òran Mór
731–735 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8QX
With its substantial timber doors, thick stone walls, flickering candles and cosy private booths, Òran Mór's brasserie creates an instant sense of comfort and warmth. Specially commissioned paintings from Sheila Tandy, a descendant of Charles Rennie…

Torphichen,
EH48 4NQ

Burts Hotel
Market Square,
Melrose,
TD6 9PL

The Butterfly and the Pig
153 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4SQ
Going for a meal at The Butterfly and the Pig is something of an Alice in Wonderland experience. Beyond its unprepossessing basement entrance, the bar is decorated like the Mad Hatter's front room, with chintz sofas, doilies and Welsh dressers bursting…
The Cabin
996–998 Dumbarton Road,
Glasgow,
G14 9UJ
Owner Denis Dwyer clearly loves his job. His warm welcome and his witty Irish banter make customers feel instantly relaxed and at home. As the sole front-of-house man, he flits around his small dining room taking orders, pouring wine and serving food…
Café Gandolfi
64 Albion Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1NY
Café Gandolfi is a marvellous antidote to any harshness life throws at you. Its rustic charm and consistently good food has nurtured Glasgow's city dwellers since it opened in 1979, earning owner Seumas MacInnes and his team well-deserved iconic status…
Café Royal Oyster Bar
17a West Register Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA

Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar
158–166 Bath Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4TB
Stefan King's various holdings are not best known for their cuisine, but from its launch in 2006 the G1 Group's Catch 22 Restaurant & Bar has put food to the fore. Chef David Thompson's predominantly but not exclusively fish and seafood oriented menu…
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…
Chapters Bistro
Main Street, Gattonside,
by Melrose,
Borders,
TD6 9NB
Gattonside village's welcoming bistro is a short drive from Melrose or a pleasant summer evening's walk by church and river. Locals and visitors congregate, and there is a real buzz of the gentle 'Borders' kind, you understand. Inside is a study of…
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…
Citation
40 Wilson Street,
Glasgow,
G1 1HD

Dine

The Dining Room
The Scotch Malt Whisky Society, 28 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JX
The Dining Room sits within the Scotch Malt Whisky Society's members' rooms in sober Queen Street, and is a far cry from the rather more raffish charms of the Society's rooms in Leith. In fact, the austere New Town has exerted a gentrifying influence…
The Dogs
110 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DR
Ascending the stairs of this sharply decorated, stylish bistro is a little like walking into a friend's lovely living room for dinner. Stark white walls and simple furnishings are set against pictures of the eponymous dogs liberally scattered around the…

Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE

Duck's at Kilspindie House Hotel
The Kilspindie, Main Street,
Aberlady,
EH32 0RE
The Kilspindie has been a landmark hotel in Aberlady village for many years. Edinburgh restaurateur Malcolm Duck took over in 2004 with the avowed aim of pulling folk out from the city, and the food's certainly good enough to tempt many to Sunday lunch…
