Xanadu Chinese Restaurant
13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank, Edinburgh, EH7 5TP
Husband and wife team Colin and Irene Chiu run this friendly neighbourhood restaurant perched just off the main road through Meadowbank. Named after an emperor’s summer palace, Xanadu’s own decor is simple and functional with Chinese scenes on the pale…
Spoilt for Choice
19 Marionville Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5TY
Billing itself as Edinburgh's new home of 'soul food' this Afro-Caribbean take away in Meadowbank has big plans: lunchtime opening starts in May 2012 and they are scouting sites for a dedicated restaurant. These are bold moves for a tiny site with just…
ArtCafe Morita
204 Canongate, Edinburgh, EH8 8DQ
Positioned halfway down the Royal Mile, ArtCafe Morita combines traditional café, Japanese fast food outlet and ambitious gallery space. Proprietor Kozo Hoshino is the custodian of a large private art collection, the Victor Murphy Trust, from which he…
Rivage
126–130 Easter Road, Edinburgh, EH7 5RJ
Owner and head chef Ryad Meeajane oversees this stylish Easter Road restaurant from behind the open tandoor oven counter while wife and co-owner Catherine runs an efficient and informative front of house. Attention to detail stretches from preparation…
Suruchi
14a Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DH
Sitting directly opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi will always attract late-night diners and pre-theatre bargain hunters. The real challenge is to inspire regulars in this highly competitive neck of the woods. The owners seem alive to criticism of…
Red Fort
10 Drummond Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9TU
This modern-style, 50-seater restaurant shows an engaging determination to tick every box you could possibly desire. Open seven days, service kicks off at noon with a buffet lunch (free for under threes, £3.50 for under tens, £6 for students, or £6.85…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get a…
Beirut
24 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh, EH8 9BX
In the mini Middle Eastern pocket growing around Edinburgh's Mosque, which began with Kebab Mahal and Jordan Valley and continues with the newly added Mosque Kitchen and Nawroz, Beirut adds Lebanese food to the mix. Owner Ahmed Saadi opened in 2010, and…
Nawroz
26–30 Potterow, Edinburgh, EH8 9BT
Nawroz is the new kid on the exotic block of mainly Middle Eastern eateries surrounding Edinburgh Central Mosque. Run by four close friends who pride themselves on offering authentic Kurdish and Middle Eastern cuisine, it is still finding its feet, but…
Khushi’s Diner
32b West Nicolson Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9DD
For the last couple of years this has been the locus of the veteran Khushi’s brand, long-time staple of the Edinburgh curry scene. The Newington incarnation is designed with good cheer in mind, with a mix of red banquettes and cosy tables interspersed…
Kam Po
34 West Preston Street, Southside, Edinburgh, EH8 9PY
A relative newcomer to the Edinburgh restaurant scene, Kam Po has set its standards pretty high. With beautifully fresh fare and service so attentive it borders on embarrassing, it's only a matter of time before news of this family-run Southside gem…
Chang Thai Restaurant Chang Thai Restaurant
29 Cockburn Street, 1 Craig's Close, Edinburgh, EH1 1BN
Down the wynd of stairs between Cockburn and Market streets is Chang Thai, a vibrant establishment serving delectable dishes. The subterranean setting is enlivened by a canopy of fake ivy on the ceiling, copper-coloured walls and smiling golden buddhas.
Namaste Kathmandu
17–19 Forrest Road, Edinburgh, EH1 2QH
Nepalese and Indian crossover Namaste Kathmandu brings a splash of Himalayan colour and cuisine to its busy Forrest Road location. Influences from neighbouring Tibet and beyond deliver Szechuan spicing and the satisfying minced chicken or vegetable…
Kwok Brasserie
44 Ratcliffe Terrace, Causewayside, Edinburgh, EH9 1ST
Kwok Brasserie is a well-established family business with a loyal clientele. So new manager Stephen Lin (a cousin of the Kwok family) faces a dilemma: how to attract new customers to his Southside eatery without losing the essence of what his regulars…
9 Cellars Thali
1–3 York Place, Edinburgh, EH1 3EB
Don’t judge this restaurant by the glowing photographs of food in the window display. To get an idea, just speak to chef and owner Phool Thakur, who’ll tell you of his history cooking in some fine establishments in India, and now serves much more than…
Time 4 Thai
45 North Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3BG
Subtle spotlights, purple flowers and leather banquettes create a refined atmosphere at Time 4 Thai on North Castle Street. A variety of luxurious menus are on offer, including three and four course lunches, banquet and à la carte. Meals are presented…
The Prince Balti House
11/12 Seafield Road East, Portobello, Edinburgh, EH15 1EB
It may not be the most enticing spot for a restaurant, being wedged between a busy roundabout and a bus depot at the end of Seafield industrial estate, but the enthusiastic, cheery welcome from staff at this Portobello curry house more than compensates…
Spirit of Thai
44 Grindlay Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AP
Strategically positioned near the Lyceum Theatre and Usher Hall, Spirit of Thai is well placed to make the most of the regular traffic to both venues. The décor is what you would expect of a traditional Thai restaurant, with golden Buddhas, muted…
Suruchi Too
121 Constitution Street, Edinburgh, EH6 7AE
Sitting directly opposite the Festival Theatre, Suruchi will always attract late-night diners and pre-theatre bargain hunters. The real challenge is to inspire regulars in this highly competitive neck of the woods. The owners seem alive to criticism of…
Loon Fung
2 Warriston Place, Canonmills, Edinburgh, EH3 5LE
No restaurant stays in business for almost 40 years without doing something right and Loon Fung evidently has a tried-and-tested recipe for success in its little corner of Canonmills. Although some of the ingredients feel a bit dated (staid decor…
Thai Lemongrass
40–41 Bruntsfield Place, Edinburgh, EH10 4HJ
Thai Lemongrass is a twin operation with restaurants in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. At the capital’s branch in Bruntsfield, a golden Buddha on the wall is the focus of the calm, candle-lit dining room. Friendly staff lead guests to tables adorned with…
New Edinburgh Rendezvous
10a Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4PG
After the dubious-looking shared entranceway with its faded carpets and dirty walls, the restaurant at the top of the stairs is a surprisingly bright, clean and welcoming place. It does double-duty on the service front, offering a set price buffet at…
The Tattie Shop
3 Viewforth Gardens, Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, EH10 4ET
As the name suggests, these guys know their tubers. Oven-baked, the spuds feature well-fired skins and soft, squidgy insides, as if they’ve been scooped out and replaced with creamy mash instead. Fillings range from humble jacket potato standards like…
Songkran
24a Stafford Street, Edinburgh, EH3 7BD
Down in a West End basement, Songkran is in its tenth year of serving local professionals and those patrons who look hard enough to find it. The small venue maintains a very personal operation through staff that make that extra effort and does a brisk…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8DT
The lively Morrison Street outpost of this popular restaurant continues to draw a crowd who enjoy the hustle and bustle of its sparsely furnished cafeteria-style room. Known primarily for boiled and fried dumplings, the idea is to place your order and…
Lanna Thai
32 Bridge Street, Musselburgh, East Lothian, EH21 6AG
This family-run restaurant near the Brunton Theatre in Musselburgh has a committed local clientele that keeps its diminutive dining area busy all year round. Despite the somewhat dated décor, there's an upbeat atmosphere and the staff are friendly and…
Berits & Brown
6 Wilson Street, Glasgow, G1 1SS
In the heart of the merchant City, which is particularly good looking at night these days, Berits and Brown offers a small taste of a New York style neighbourhood diner. It is a big draw for wine buffs – any bottle on sale in the off license can be…
La Tasca
39–43 Renfield Street, Glasgow, G2 1JS
La Tasca must be doing something right. The flamenco guitars being piped through the PA are competing with boisterous chatter and the relentless tattoo of cutlery on plates. The place is packed. A cursory glance at the menu reveals what may be…
Tawa & Grill
146–148 Nelson Street, Glasgow, G5 8EJ
The smart and contemporary Tawa & Grill provides proof – if you needed reminding – that a trip to Nelson Street in Tradeston possesses nearly all the virtues of a journey halfway across Asia. That this dilapidated zone south of the Clyde has become…
Go Slow Café
452 Victoria Road, Glasgow, G42 8YU
Six years of taking it easy at Go Slow Café (to paraphrase the blurb), but the place is thriving and popular, so it’s no mean feat that during the busiest times owner/factotum Rose manages to keep the happy, calm vibe alive. Like most places run with…
Enjoy
393–395 Great Western Road, Glasgow, G4 9HY
The décor of Great Western Road’s Enjoy is fairly unassuming. The airy wooden-floored room is filled up with chunky leather sofas and bucket armchairs, which surround low-slung coffee tables. The walls are plain but for occasional minimalist framed…
The Ashoka
108 Elderslie Street, Glasgow, G3 7AR
A Glasgow fixture since 1982, this Ashoka is not part of the popular Harlequin-owned chain of the same name. Downstairs is the 110-capacity Curryoke restaurant, where you can experience a full banquet plus a spot of singing, while upstairs the…
Banana Leaf
105 Albert Drive, Glasgow, G41 2SU
The Banana Leaf offers good value, authentic Indian food. From an extensive menu, the manager is happy to make recommendations and even demonstrate cooking to curious customers. Don't miss their famous dosas – huge lentil and rice pancakes, thin, crispy…
Beanscene
110 Battlefield Road, Battlefield, Southside, Glasgow, G42 9JT
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Gusto & Relish
729–731 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow, G41 2AA
You may not want to leave afterwards but the half-hour walk back into town (for City Centre dwellers) is recommended to burn off the calories. That's because the food here is moreish in the extreme – and that's not just the mountainous meringues. The…
Offshore
3/5 Gibson Street, Glasgow, G12 8NU
It’s impossible not to mention the view from Offshore. Large windows looking out onto Gibson Street and onto the beginnings of Kelvingrove Park give the café a laid-back feel that makes it the perfect haven for anybody looking to chill out and watch the…
North Star
108 Queen Margaret Drive, Glasgow, G20 8NZ
This cosy café – under new ownership since late 2011 – is now seeking to blend traditional café options with a little Italian style and flair. On offer is a range of options cooked to order – which does, however, mean some choices are not suited to…
Mother India's Cellar
28 Westminster Terrace, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G3 7RU
Sibbo's Delhi Dhabba
914 Sauchiehall Street, West End, Glasgow, G3 7TF
This family-owned restaurant, which opened in 2004, is run by four brothers under the watchful eye of their mother Sibbo. There's much that's charming about the place, from the living room-sized dining area to the homely atmosphere. But Sibbo's Delhi…
Shilla
1138 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G3 8TD
Glasgow’s only Korean restaurant, Shilla, occupies a cosy corner on old Argyle street. With tightly packed tables and friendly staff the restaurant has a bustling yet welcoming atmosphere. The wide range of dishes, and their unfamiliar names can be a…
Brooklyn Café
21 Minard Road, Glasgow, G41 2HR
Year of Opening: 1931. This fact alone says so much about the obvious enduring appeal of the Brooklyn Café. Generations of local custom must mean dramatic change is difficult but while crowd-pleasers like the famous ice-cream remain (plus the many…
Beanscene
1365 Argyle Street, West End, Glasgow, G3 8AF
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
Beanscene
16 Cresswell Lane Hillhead, Glasgow, G12 8AA
Beanscene, recently opened, is another contender for the trendy cafe crown, with its Friends-y vibe, evening tapas menu and weekly live music.
Beanscene
19 Skirving Street Shawlands, Southside, Glasgow, G41 3AB
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
University Café
87 Byres Road, Glasgow, G11 5HN
Established in 1918, the University Café is a Byres Road institution, serving fish suppers, fry-ups and homemade lasagne for nearly a century. Inside, the décor is practically unchanged since opening, original wood panelled walls, narrow formica tables…
The Wee Curry Shop
41 Byres Road, Glasgow, G11 5RG
The Wee Curry Shop on Byres Road is a casual affair with the ambience of a 1970s living room. A team of chefs work in an open kitchen as you enter the restaurant. Most seating is on the mezzanine directly above this kitchen, so the air up here is hot…
Eat Deli
16 Busby Rd, Clarkston, Glasgow, G76 7BG
The rather prosaic name gives no indication of the high quality of food served and on sale here. Bei & Nannini coffee, Ferrarelle mineral water, Suki fair-trade tea and Stornoway black pudding are just a few of the superior brands. There’s clearly a…
Beanscene
1-3 Helena Place, Busby Road, Clarkston, Southside, Glasgow, G76 7RB
It may be part of a chain, but Scottish café enterprise Beanscene stands out by selectively adopting hallmarks such as consistency and friendly service and rewriting them in its own style. The deep leather couches, scattered tables and down-lighting…
