La Favorita
325–331 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
The hectic craft of kneading and folding pizza dough is the first thing you see on entering this busy Leith Walk eatery. Walk past the front counter, through the lively, three-pronged dining area, and you'll notice most diners are working their way…
Balbir's
7 Church Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5JP
Balbir Sumal’s years of experience in catering for Glasgow’s curry lovers distinctively shines through in this eponymous West End branch. It may feel more like an upmarket European eatery, but the appetizing aromas that assault you as you enter firmly…
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…
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…
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…
The Tailend Restaurant and Fish Bar
14–15 Albert Place,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HN
The original Edinburgh posh chippie, opened by a partner in the original famed Anstruther Fish Bar, the Tailend coined a format that is gathering pace across the country. Don’t expect silver cutlery and napkin-flicking – the takeaway box of haddock…
Urban Angel
1 Forth Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JX
Seasonal, local and organic are the buzz words for these bright, informal, modern bistros. A high proportion of the menu is made up of daily specials making the most of what produce is best that day. A nourishing parsnip soup is enlivened with mustard…
Dusit
49a Thistle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DY
For the past ten years, Dusit has been a strong contender for the best Thai food in town due to the owners’ aesthetic vision of the appearance and flavour of their dishes. Takeaway, à la carte and the ‘floating market’ menus are available, the last…
Ashoka Ashton Lane
19 Ashton Lane,
Glasgow,
G12 8SJ
You’d be forgiven for thinking you had stepped back in time upon entering the charming Ashton Lane branch of the popular Ashoka chain. Things haven’t changed much since they first opened their doors 20 years ago – but that’s exactly the point, they…
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…
Henderson's Vegetarian Restaurant
94 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DR
This subterranean gathering spot has been the beating heart of Edinburgh’s vegetarian scene for half a decade, and justly celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2012 – no mean feat considering how our appetites and attitudes towards food have changed over…
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…
Mr India's Balti and Dosa House
11–13 Hyndland Street,
Glasgow,
G11 5QE
Time has stood still on the 1980’s décor of this traditional curry house, yet its hearty no-frills menu attracts plenty of evening regulars from the neighbourhood. Friendly staff serve up super-sized portions of traditional Indian dishes such as…
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…
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…
Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
Seasonal, local and organic are the buzz words for these bright, informal, modern bistros. A high proportion of the menu is made up of daily specials making the most of what produce is best that day. A nourishing parsnip soup is enlivened with mustard…
Café Pop
657 Great Western Road,
Glasgow,
G12 8RE
The décor of the petite Café Pop may be inspired by 1960's Kitsch but there remains a fresh and contemporary approach to both its food and atmosphere. Sandwiches use bread freshly baked daily by local producers, and it’s the same with the array of…
Charcoals
26A Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1LU
Situated on one of the city's busiest traffic streets, it would be easy to mistake Charcoals for just another takeaway, but its restaurant is surprisingly cosy. Under new management since January 2011, staff explain details of the menu as they flit…
Fratelli Sarti
42 Renfield Street,
Glasgow,
G2 1NF
There is an expectation with Italian restaurants that the experience be one of feeling loved and entertained as well as fed, yet few manage to pull off the feat with such aplomb as Fratelli Sarti. There's a uniformity of excellence across all three…
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…
La Tea Doh
136 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB
In a world without supermarkets, La Tea Doh would be just the sort of local one-stop café/shop to visit daily … and indulge in a sugary treat too. Among the other groceries (including an impressive tea selection), deli treats and organic goodies, they…
Mise en Place
122–124 Nithsdale Road,
Glasgow,
G41 5RB
The locals in Pollokshields are very lucky to have this café/deli on their doorstep. It’s the ideal place to visit when faced with an empty fridge. Bright airy clean space with a reassuringly small menu, given the size of the room. The simple starters…
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…
La Vita
161 Queen Street,
Glasgow,
G1 3BJ
You can’t get much more central than La Vita’s, and despite being spread over three floors it manages a cosy, traditional Italian vibe. It is a busy place, with booking on most nights recommended, and you are still likely to be just a few centimetres…
Appetite Direct
42 Howe Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TH
Most of Appetite Direct’s business is outside catering, from small private dinners to weddings and gallery openings, and their shop is no run-of-the mill deli. Every day their small kitchen produces several curries, quiches, interesting seasonal veg and…
