13th Note Café
50-60 King Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 5QT
Scotland
Set on arty King Street, this laid-back hang-out has long provided wholesome vegetarian food to hungry indie rock fans - as live sets are played in the basement seven nights a week while hip music is a permanent backdrop in the bar/café. Diners…
Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
There's a piece of advice for women in the film LA Story - once you've put on all your jewellery and accessories, check the mirror and then remove the piece that catches your eye. And if Abstract excised just the mirror-ball pillar from amongst the…
Ad Lib
111 Hope Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 6LL
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Ad Lib/Merchant City
33 Ingram Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1HA
A handsome old fire station on Ingram Street houses the second branch of Ad Lib, which hopes to extend its deluxe-diner appeal to the Merchant City. The original might still be slightly funkier, with its long bar and American-style booths, but the newer…
Agacan
113 Perth Road,
Dundee,
DD2 4LG
Scotland
Snuggled on Perth Road in the West End, Agacan is named after its flamboyant owner, and the idiosyncratic wee place is rammed with the man’s oddball artworks, the open kitchen acting as a stage for him to perform on most nights as well. The food is…
L'Alba D'Oro
5-7 Henderson Row, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
Run by Edinburgh fried food veteran Filippo Crolla for more than 30 years, L'Alba D'Oro has long been regarded as the New Town chippie of choice. From the moment you walk through the door and see bottles of champagne on sale, and an impressive four…
The Albanach
197 High Street, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH11PE
Right on the Royal Mile, the Albanach tempts tourists with a safe Scottish menu. Its bar, stocking 103 whiskies, leads to a wood and stone dining area out back. One may or may not appreciate the 'modern tartan' walls adorned with patriotic statements…
Alishan
250 Battlefield Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G42 9HU
Mount Florida's traditional neighbourhood Indian for 20 years is a small, bright place with a dozen tables tucked behind tropical fish tanks. It's barely changed in all this time: there's no buffet, no early dining deals and, for the first half of the…
Amalfi Pizzeria
148 West Nile Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 2RQ
Serving inexpensive Italian classics, this city centre restaurant has an unexpectedly low-key and intimate atmosphere considering its location just off the bustling eastern end of Sauchiehall Street. The menu proudly recalls that the likes of Dean…
Amarone
2 Nelson Mandela Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 1BT
Having only opened in 2006, the often packed dining room here on weeknights suggests that this restaurant from the DiMaggio team has hit the ground running. Its advantageous city centre location and smart setting attracts well-dressed couples and large…
Amber Chinese Restaurant
130-132 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8TD
The idea of a classy Chinese restaurant conjures up images of dimly-lit interiors with plush flock wallpaper and maybe an aquarium. The Amber retains the classiness and tries to refresh the traditional style with dark wood and drapery adorning the…
Amber
The Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
This gem of a restaurant may seem to cater to tourists, being, as it is, slap-bang on the trail, but it is quite a find and well worth the trek to the Royal Mile for locals. Set beneath the Whisky Heritage Centre and close to Edinburgh Castle, the plain…
Amber Regent
50 West Regent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 2QZ
From the welcoming smile that greets you as you hand over your coat in the cloakroom, Amber Regent is as comfortable and relaxed as going round to a good friend's for the evening. Maybe it's the curtain swags framing the paintings on the walls and the…
An Lochan
340 Crow Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 7HT
Enjoy a meal at An Lochan (formerly Café Royale) and you'll not only have chef Claire McKie to thank but also Mary, Shonna, Arthur and Winston. These ladies and gentlemen are responsible for catching, gathering and shooting the scallops, oysters…
Andre's
134a Nethergate,
Dundee,
DD1 4ED
Scotland
This compact little venue is certainly not cutting edge, instead Andre has decided to deck the place out in red, white and blue, play French music and deliver some extremely satisfying rustic, wholesome Gallic cuisine. A delightful dining experience…
Angels Bar & Diner
Angels Hotel, 114 Main Street,
Uddingston,
Lanarkshire,
G71 7HZ
Angels may be the most popular restaurant in Lanarkshire, judging by the amazing speed with which tables fill up - even early week. It's a venture which aims to take what was once straightforward pub food to a more ambitious level. In a smart…
Anima
11 Henderson Row, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
Sitting next door to its sister operation L'Alba D'Oro, Anima aims to provide 'Italian soul food' for its New Town clientele, and accomplishes its mission statement with suitable panache. It's open for both lunch and dinner, and almost every aspect of…
Appetite@Rowland's
42 Howe Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Tucked away on the north side of the New Town, the Appetite catering company's takeaway venture has long been seen as serving up some of the best food on this side of Princes Street. Providing a sizeable array of gourmet cuisine made with top quality…
The Apron Stage
5 King Street,
Stanley,
Perthshire,
PH1 4ND
A bend and drop in the Tay at Stanley - just off the A9, eight miles north of Perth - helped Sir Richard Arkwright decide where to establish his cotton mills. The same feature now brings canoeists and fisherfolk to the river, and, since September 2006…
L'Aquila Bianca
17 Raeburn Place, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1HU
L'Aquila Bianca is the grand old dame of Edinburgh chippies, with a shelf full of awards and numerous press clippings adorning its pristine walls. This Stockbridge favourite attracts punters from across the city as a result of the quality of both its…
L'Aragosta
213-215 St Andrew's Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 1PD
With its walls adorned with green, white and red stripes, shots of the national football team and even a signed photograph of actor/director Roberto Benigni, there's no doubting in which nation this restaurant's heart lies. Since taking over in 2006…
Arcaffe
11 North Claremont Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7NR
This restaurant, only open on weekdays, caters mainly to local professionals who are after an upscale lunch without having to make a trip into the city centre. The smart setting, proficient staff and well-presented dishes ensure that this is a handy…
The Arches Café Bar
253 Argyle Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 8DL
Being underground isn't just about subterranean existence - being underground is, of course, the supreme height of cool. The Arches Café Bar transcends semantics by being both down in the basement and undeniably hip. Designed by Glasgow design stars…
Argan Café
1166-1170 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8TE
PLEASE NOTE: THIS RESTAURANT HAS NOW CLOSED
Review written spring 2007.
The décor of Argan Café is airy, reasonably elegant and quietly welcoming: white walls, wooden flooring and the choice of art conspire to create an impression of suave…
Arigo
67 Kilmarnock Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 3YR
As the 14th edition of the List Eating & Drinking Guide goes to press, word has come that Arigo is now under the management of Bacco Italia Ltd, which runs a smaller café/restaurant further down the road.
L'Ariosto
92-94 Mitchell Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G1 3NQ
Entering the elegant marble doorway to be greeted by well groomed staff, the feeling is that L'Ariosto is designed to impress, and with almost 40 years of practice, it really does. Seating surrounds the dance floor in a dining area constructed to…
Arisaig
140 St Vincent Street, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 5LA
Arisaig's co-owners, Stephen Bonomi and Naveed Rashid, have an admirable commitment to 'local food for local people', as it were, putting well-sourced produce into contemporary new forms for an understated take on Scotland with style. Elegant…
Art Lovers' Café
House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park, 10 Dumbreck Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G41 5BW
On a walk around Glasgow's House for an Art Lover, a mansion based on Charles Rennie Mackintosh's drawings and not built till 1990, the serenity of Bellahouston Park might lull even the highest of blood pressures to a gentle sense of calm. Even inside…
Arta
The Old Cheesemarket, 62 Albion Street, Merchant City,
Glasgow,
G1 1PA
A club, bar, restaurant and VIP lounge in one, Arta is a jewel in the crown of Stefan King's G1 empire. The vast, remodelled interior of the Merchant City's old cheesemarket recalls the set of some particularly lush Fellini epic - a phantasmagoria of…
Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
The Arts Café tries to be all things to all people, and more or less succeeds. For local workers, it's a reasonably-priced haven at lunchtime, both for sit-in and take-away. With tasty home-made soup and a roll coming in at under £2, and a plethora of…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 7AR
Despite the name, this is a family-run business and not part of Harlequin Leisure's Ashoka chain. It was also one of the four establishments to represent Glasgow when the city won the title of curry capital of the UK in 2006. Owner Syrus Bavarsagh takes…
Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
Boasting a prime location in the very heart of the West End on cobbled Ashton Lane, this is the busiest of the 13 Harlequin curry houses in Glasgow and is open from noon till late all week (except Sundays, when service starts at 5pm). The area attracts…
Ashoka at the Mill
500 Corselet Road, Darnley, Southside,
Glasgow,
G53 7RN
Opened in 2000, Ashoka at the Mill is one of the Harlequin group's most modern additions to its popular Glasgow empire. It's located in a converted farmhouse in the southside area of Darnley, and there's a firm family focus in this cavernous restaurant…
Ashoka Bearsden
9 Kirk Road, Bearsden,
Glasgow,
G61 3RG
The Bearsden outpost of the Harlequin Group, Europe's largest chain of Indian restaurants, received a successful makeover in 2006. The deep red colour scheme has been replaced with fresh creams and browns, enhanced with colonial artefacts, Indian…
Ashoka Southside
268 Clarkston Road, Southside,
Glasgow,
G44 3EA
The Harlequin Group has been serving curries in and around Glasgow for more than 20 years, a sign that its formula works. The Ashoka Southside outlet offers a pleasant, though vaguely conventional, dining experience. The restaurant is cosy and looks…
Ashoka West End
1284 Argyle Street, West End,
Glasgow,
G3 8AB
From the branded crockery to the standardised menu design, there's no mistaking that the Ashoka West End is very much part of the Harlequin group. That said, there's plenty about this branch - the first and oldest in the chain, opened in 1973 - that…
The Ashvale
42-48 Great Western Road,
Aberdeen,
AB10 6PY
Scotland
Folk from the northeast of Scotland are discerning when it comes to fish, so the legendary status of the Ashvale is worth heeding. A multi award-winning chippy, its takeaway and 200-seat restaurant -- regularly filled with local families -- have the…
Asia Style Chinese & Malaysian Restaurant
185-189 St George's Road, West End,
Glasgow,
After a change in management in 2006, Asia Style - the informal café/diner with low-price meals - carries on at its slightly-off-the-beaten-track location. It is south of St George's Cross, near one of the M8's minor noodle junctions. Traditional…
The Atholl Dining Room
The Howard Hotel, 34 Great King Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QH
Push open the heavy wooden front door to the Atholl Dining Room, enter a large hall with faux marble pillars and you've arrived in Edinburgh circa 1820. This elegant Georgian townhouse, now a hotel and restaurant, is in the heart of Edinburgh's New…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
There's a reason why the Atrium is one of Edinburgh's most renowned restaurants - the food is simply divine. Chef Neil Forbes has affiliations to the Slow Food movement, which means the Scottish/Mediterranean menu is created with an eye not just to the…
Aurora
Langs Hotel, 2 Port Dundas Place, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 3LD
Although this place is only open two nights a week and is smaller than Langs' other restaurant, Oshi [see Far East], Aurora's menu is clearly no afterthought. The carefully presented range of ambitious dishes compensates for fairly bland surroundings on…
Aziza Café Bazaar
407 Great Western Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G12 8HN
In early 2007, tiny Aziza Café Bazaar on Great Western Road moved to more spacious accommodation on the other side of Kelvin Bridge. The additional room allows charming owner Azmina Ali to up the ante on special event nights, which range from guest…

See also Schottische restaurant above Babbity Bowster.
Baby Grand
3-7 Elmbank Gardens, City Centre,
Glasgow,
G2 4NQ
The original Baby Grand, in contrast to its West End and Merchant City outlets [see below], offers a Manhattan-style bar and diner. The venture mixes glass-topped tables and softly-glowing tapered candles with an open galley kitchen at one end of the…
Baby Grand/West End
2 Byres Road, West End,
Glasgow,
G11 5NY
Occupying a prime position at the foot of Byres Road, the Baby Grand West End adds a touch of extra elegance to the scene at Partick Cross. In premises more spacious and swish than the Charing Cross flagship, relaxed and friendly staff mill effortlessly…
Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
Tucked into a quiet street in Tollcross behind the King's Theatre, this cosy little restaurant decorated with old movie posters is a popular choice with theatre and cinema-goers. Casablanca-born chef Hamouda el-Qmache and his wife Karla took over in…
La Bagatelle
22a Brougham Place, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JU
Thick, etched crystal glasses and dated carpet and curtains may be somewhat 'dining room at the old folks' home', but, in fairness, the tables here are better spaced and the soft furnishing provide far better acoustics than in many a trendier…
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
Sitting just off the Royal Mile, the fully vegetarian Baked Potato shop attracts everyone from busy lawyers to cost-conscious backpackers and boasts the largest potatoes this side of Chernobyl. A wide range of fillings is provided in generous portions…
