Assembly
41 Lothian Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HB
A popular student venue despite – or indeed perhaps because of – its closeness to the ubiquitous student unions. No doubt another plus is its good value food and two-for-one drinks deals. The battered leather sofas and twinkling fairy lights are…
Avoca
4–6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
Avoca's shabbily charming interior offers a haven from Stockbridge's melee of stylish bars, without compromising on quality. This wonderfully laid-back watering hole is cosy but not cramped and is neatly tucked away on a side street off the area's busy…
Barioja
19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
Created a decade ago as a bar to partner the more formal Iggs Restaurant next door, Barioja remains a popular spot to sample excellent Spanish produce in smaller portions. The design of the restaurant successfully accommodates at its centre a large…
The Basement Bar
10a–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
The Basement Bar’s eclectic menu and lively surroundings have made it a favourite with regulars of Broughton Street’s busy bar scene since its inception in 1994. The underground hideout is often heaving with punters on evenings and weekends, so…
Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AN
One of the longest-established restaurants in Edinburgh, Bell's Diner will rank on many locals' lists of solid, reliable, comforting places to eat out. The simplicity of the venue – a single room with 30 or so covers, painted deep red with bentwood…
Biblos
1 Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HU
With a name that means ‘book’ it is hardly surprising Biblos has gone for the decadent library theme. Leather Chesterfield sofas, wingback chairs and dark wood abound, and, in case the point still hasn’t hit home, they even have small pictures of famous…
Black Bo's
57–61 Blackfriars Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1NB
Tucked away on a quiet Old Town side street, Black Bo’s – or just ‘Bo’s’ to its numerous friends – has established a solid reputation for serving quality veggie food in comfortable, laid-back surroundings. The cosy, candlelit atmosphere and charming…
The Blue Parrot Cantina
49 St Stephen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AH
On the face of it, everything about The Blue Parrot Cantina is understated: a modest sign at street level, a compact kitchen where chef David Downie churns out a consistently high standard of traditional Mexican fare, and a cosy dining room with a…
The Caley Sample Room
42–58 Angle Park Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2JR
It's best to check out what is happening in the sporting world before visiting, because if there is a big game on, the TV screen is rolled down and this wine bar/pub becomes very much a pub with less focus on food and no daily specials. Brick and…
Cameo Bar
23 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6JA
The Cameo Bar doesn’t seem to have settled on a single decorative style. There is a touch of the contemporary (see the beige suede benches); there is a little Edwardian (see the red and brown flock wallpaper) and there is a bit of traditional pub (dark…
City Café
19 Blair Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QR
The City Cafe's ultra-central location on Blair Street, just off the Royal Mile, makes it one of the capital's busiest drinking establishments, popular with residents and tourists alike. Tables towards the front of the bar are basked in comforting red…
Cloisters
26 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
With the absence of music and the stained-glass windows, this Tollcross bar in an old church enjoys a peaceful air during the day. The vibe changes in the evenings and on the weekends, when the tables and standing space are filled with regulars and…
David Bann
56–58 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
If necessity is the mother of invention, then perhaps a need to continually confound persistent stereotypes about drab meat-free dining goes some way to explaining the imaginative exuberance and sheer quality of David Bann’s eclectic cuisine. Each dish…
Dragonfly
52 West Port,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2LD
An effortlessly popular drinking spot for some years since its 2004 reimagining as a shiny new cocktail bar, Dragonfly – which has been voted Scotland's most stylish bar – shows no sign of letting its sheen tarnish. It still feels like one of the places…
Ecco Vino
19 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BP
Rows of wine bottles line one long wall of this intimate longitudinal ten-seater restaurant; the opposite wall is the bar, with very handy tables that can be pulled out to accommodate more diners. Operating from a small open kitchen, a pizza oven and…
The Elephant House
21 George IV Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EN
When there are cafés elsewhere in town putting up notices saying ‘JK Rowling didn’t write anything here’, you know that the place of the Elephant House in Edinburgh’s literary hall of fame is assured. A few laminated newspaper cuttings and a cabinet of…
Elephants and Bagels
37 Marshall Street (Nicholson Square),
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BJ
If you’re looking for a lunch or snack option that healthy and filling, planet-friendly and low in salt, sugar as well as food miles, then Elephants and Bagels offers a handy solution. A penchant for pachyderms is a bonus; mostly customer-drawn they…
Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…
Filmhouse Café Bar
88 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BZ
It is the heady mix of the intellectual with the sociable that makes this congenial Edinburgh institution such a great place to hang out. Where else can you sit next to the local gay choir or a reading group discussing Camus, while eavesdropping on a…
The Forest
3 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EY
A charitable, not-for-profit arts base, the Forest is all things to all people. To many it’s a venue to hear local music of all varieties and genres, or a place for some legendary late-night festival parties. To others it’s a daytime home from home…
The Fruitmarket Gallery Café
Fruitmarket Gallery, 45 Market Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DF
Housed in what used to be a Victorian fruit and vegetable market, the Fruitmarket Gallery presents the very best in contemporary art just as its ground floor café serves some of the finest gallery food in town. It isn’t the cheapest, but the emphasis on…
Gordon's Trattoria
231 High Street, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PE
Gordon Scott is keen to promote his restaurant as a family venue. And there is no risk that he will fall foul of the trade descriptions act, with brother Gary imparting his profound industry knowledge, daughters Daniela and Vanessa now involved in the…
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…
