Union of Genius
8 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QN
Elaine Mason had regulars just two weeks after opening Edinburgh’s first soup café last year. No matter how popular the little shop, she won’t expand the bitesized menu, preferring to do one thing well. Six soups are chalked up, all relying as much as…
The Upper House
441 Victoria Road,
Glasgow,
G42 8RW
Last year’s Eastern Platform is this year’s Upper House – a change in management and a slight reigning-in of the pan-Asian menu. It’s an improvement. Gone are some of the more frivolous Thai and Japanese numbers, but classics like chicken gyozas…
Valente's
73 Hendry Road,
Kirkcaldy,
Fife,
KY2 5DA
Tony Valente’s father first pushed his ice-cream barrow through the streets of Kirkcaldy in the early part of the last century, and now it’s widely regarded as the town’s best fish and chip takeway. Despite the queues, or perhaps because of them, locals…
VIP Taste
623 Cathcart Road,
Glasgow,
G42 8AE
You'll not want for a decent curry in Glasgow, but even by this city's high standards, VIP Taste stands out for its simple, authentic cooking. You're more likely to get 'lamb with potatoes' or 'chicken with chickpeas' than 'bhuna' or 'tikka masala…
Where the Monkey Sleeps
182 West Regent Street,
Glasgow,
G2 4RU
Rockin' basement rebel WTMS can no longer be filed under 'hidden gem'. Now that it has celebrated its first decade, it can proudly flaunt its establishment credentials. And well-deserved too. Choices range from healthy fruit smoothies (or the more…
Yadgar Kebab House
148 Calder Street,
Glasgow,
G42 7QP
Standing in a line of locals there's plenty of time to survey the array of meats, kebabs and curries on offer at Govanhill's Yadgar. The place paints its proud Pakistani roots on both its dishes and the menu itself, which shares the colours and insignia…
[Another] Piece
387 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G4 9HY
Sandwich virtuosos Tom Lauckner and John Moore's second outlet (a companion piece if you will) increases your chances of grabbing one of their justifiably popular gourmet pieces. There are only a couple of chairs here, less if it is raining, but the…
The Anstruther Fish Bar

Anstruther,
Fife,
KY10 3AQ
With as glittering an array of accolades as any eating place in Fife, including the gong for UK Fish & Chip shop of the year in 2009, this place is undoubtedly one of Scotland’s classic traditional fish and chippers. Fish (and not just haddock, but…

Glasgow,
G3 6HA
This long-standing takeaway, with a few stools inside, serves up a range of pakora, curries and grills, as well as standard burgers and pizzas and other crowd-pleasers like kebabs (the naan-wrapped king chicken tikka kebab is a winner). The Indian…

Edinburgh,

This Tollcross stalwart of 18 years has been refurbished with sultry red walls, ceiling spotlights, air conditioning, white tablecloths and fresh flowers imported from Holland, but the menu could also do with a revamp. King prawn puris and prawn…

Crêpe à Croissant
1 Ashley Street,
Glasgow,
G3 6HB
Crêpe à Croissant has four sit-in cafés dotted around, but their spiritual home is the static van on Woodlands Road. They do do normal sandwiches, baguettes and wraps, but it’s the crêpes – made fresh on specially imported pans and by trained staff…
