Glasgow,
G3 7PQ
A bold new arrival on the Glasgow curry scene, Akbar's 11th UK restaurant is its first in Scotland. This is a large venue (formerly the Tiffin Rooms) where you're never more than a few feet from an enthusiastic member of staff. Hundreds of tangerine…
Ann Purna
45 St Patrick's Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9ET
Tucked away in the corner of St. Patrick’s Square, Ann Purna offers a wide range of vegetarian cuisine inspired by the state of Gujarat on India's west coast. Popular mixed veg bhajias and pakora starters mix with Indian street snacks such as kachori…

Boaters Café
Rouken Glen Park,
Glasgow,
G46 7UG
Boaters Café is well known to the residents of Giffnock and Newton Mearns but less so to those outside Glasgow's southern suburbs. Situated by the boating pond at the edge of the rolling green expanses of Rouken Glen Park, it's an especially popular…
Bramble
16a Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JE
Passers-by can be forgiven for not noticing Bramble – this place does everything short of donning a glasses-nose-moustache combo in its effort to remain disguised. Indeed, not content merely to be buried in a Queen Street basement, it doesn’t even boast…
Buffalo Grill
12–14 Chapel Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
Pictures of the big beasts may decorate the walls but no, you won’t find buffalo meat on the grill here. However, there are plenty of other options available on the surprisingly wide-ranging menu from this veteran of the Stockbridge dining scene…
Buffalo Grill

Pictures of the big beasts may decorate the walls but no, you won’t find buffalo meat on the grill here. However, there are plenty of other options available on the surprisingly wide-ranging menu from this veteran of the Stockbridge dining scene…
Café at the Palace
Palace of Holyroodhouse,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DX
Situated next door to Holyrood Palace, this café is the obvious place to grab a sandwich or hearty bowl of soup after visiting the Queen’s Gallery and Palace, or after an invigorating trek round Arthur’s Seat or tour of the Scottish Parliament. With…
Café St Honoré
34 North West Thistle Street Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EA
Romantic Café St Honoré feels ideally placed tucked away in its cobbled New Town lane, but quiet locations can be deceiving. Inside, its charming, old-fashioned mirrored rooms are often bustling with exuberant diners. At nearly twenty years old, it is a…
70 Rose Street North Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DX
Tucked away behind Rose Street, Calistoga’s insalubrious location belies a welcoming, chic bistro that aims to bring a little Californian sunshine to Edinburgh. Posters of vineyards on the cream-coloured walls declare the restaurant’s passion for wine…
Chez Jules
109 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
It's twenty years since the plain but distinctive red-and-yellow colour scheme of Pierre Victoire off-shoot Chez Jules first appeared in Edinburgh. Its comeback over the last couple of years – first on Hanover Street then, towards the end of 2010, a…
The Cramond Inn
30 Cramond Glebe Road, Cramond Village,
Edinburgh,
EH4 6NU
Wherever you travel around Britain, the sight of the village pub is generally a welcome one. It's no different in Cramond, even if the village is a suburb of Edinburgh and just 20 minutes' trundle along Ferry Road from the city centre. It's all there: a…
68 Haymarket Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5LQ
The initials LC come from the owner’s name (Lorena Crolla), but they could just as easily stand for ‘Lotta Choice’ considering the amount of items on the menu here. Including Asian, Italian and Scottish elements, there are almost 40 sandwich…
The Dogs
110 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DR
A dark wooden staircase flanked by statues of the owner’s dogs takes you up to two atmospheric Georgian dining rooms. Low lit by candles, the restaurant is simply furnished with old-school wooden tables and chairs, and of course pictures of those dogs.
Dragon-i
311–313 Hope Street,
Glasgow,
G2 3PT
Both the sharp, minimalist surroundings and quasi-Asian menu serve to underline Dragon-i is anything but a traditional Chinese restaurant. There is an undoubted Scottish element running through the menu, with Stornoway black pudding accompanying crispy…
Earthy Market Café
33–41 Ratcliffe Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1SX
With reclaimed wood panelling and rustic hues, this converted warehouse could easily be the set for a new Channel 4 cookery show (you half-expect to see Jamie or Hugh pottering about). Thankfully though, like the food market upstairs, the style doesn’t…
The Granary
32–34 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
This split-level restaurant and bar is well positioned on the Shore with floor-to-ceiling glass windows and views of the Water of Leith. With its seductive brown leather sofas, dark wood floors, rugs and realistic-looking gas-powered fires, you’ll…
Hot Hot Chinese
60 Home Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NA
Open since 2008 but in new hands since 2010, Hot Hot was one of the original restaurants offering Chinese hot pot in Edinburgh. Behind its steamed-up windows is a sparsely decorated room where diners are presented with a simple concept: dip an array of…
Hotel du Vin
11 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EZ
Fact: eating out is way nicer than eating in. Or at least it is when the people who bring your food and pour your drinks are really, really lovely. This is well understood in Hotel du Vin, where the service is full of personality and pretty much…
Jamie's Italian
Assembly Rooms, 54 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2LR
Edinburgh Council faced criticism for introducing commercial tenants after spending £9 million refurbishing the Assembly Rooms, but no-one could dispute this A-listed edifice was criminally under-used. And given that Edinburgh’s relationship with…

Unit 3, Cloth Hall Street,
Leeds,
LS1 2HD
Walk through the doors of Las Iguanas and find yourself transported to Latin America, full of rich, vibrant colours, quirky features and custom-made wooden mosaic tables made especially for the restaurant from sustainable woods in Brazil. Each…
Malone's Irish Bar
14 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QN
Malone's Irish Bar certainly can’t be accused of misrepresenting itself. Owned and run by natives of the Emerald Isle, the cavernous property oozes Irishness from its street-level entrance area, the large central room with tables for dining and large…
Miro's Cantina Mexicana
184 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4BA
The atmosphere at Miro’s is bright and cheery and the welcome from staff is warm. The decor reflects the colours of the Mexican flag and candles twinkle on brightly clad tables. Those looking for the usual suspects will find enchiladas, fajitas and…
