Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
'Authentic' may be an over-used claim on many menus, but at Chop Chop it's entirely appropriate. Don't be fooled by the garish red and yellow façade: it might look like any other takeaway, but Chop Chop is the real deal. Genuinely charming and…
Pani Solińska
73 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Pani Solinska is Polish for 'Mrs Solinska'. Dorothy Nowak-Solinska took over Broughton Street landmark Café Mediterraneo last year, but before putting her name above the door in spring 2008 took some time to design a restaurant she could be proud of.
The Granary
32–34 The Shore, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QN
Part of the Glasgow-based G1 Group's expansion into Edinburgh, the Granary is a new addition to the Shore's diverse line-up of eating and drinking spots. This mock-traditional pub has a dark timber interior, housing a bar area, a small balcony where…
Café Royal Oyster Bar
17a West Register Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
Hidden away down an alley close to, but sufficiently away from, the bustle of Princes Street is this sumptuous snapshot of architectural Victoriana. Designed by Robert Patterson in 1862 as a showroom for the latest in high-tech fixtures and fittings…
Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
It's important to set aside an entire evening for a visit to Abstract: a quick bite before curtain up at one of the nearby theatres would be doing it a great injustice. There's just so much vying for your attention here, from the mirrored pillars and…
Eighty Queen Street
80 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4NF
Soft candle-light, live jazz and good cocktails are surely on the recipe for a good start to any night out. Eighty Queen Street displays these elements in abundance to ease you into your meal. From an extensive menu, which is served from 8am Monday to…
The Lot
4 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JU
Despite its rather grand situation in an old church, which nestles in the shadow of Edinburgh Castle, The Lot is a colourful, somewhat unassuming café-cum-restaurant with a lot of charm. The ceilings are high, the colours bright, and people come at all…
Monteiths
57–61 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Spanking new Monteiths brings a touch of glitz and glamour to this section of the Royal Mile, more commonly associated with pubs and tourist attractions. The entrance is down a vine-arched and lit alleyway next to Moubray House, at the bottom of which…
The Voodoo Rooms
19a West Register Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AA
When the Voodoo Rooms opened at the end of 2007 the promise of an intoxicating blend of tiki cocktails and live music in decadent surroundings created a fair old sensation. And if you're off to check it all out, know this: there's a Devil's Kitchen in…
Zanzero
15 North West Circus Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6SX
Opened in 2007, this is the younger, slightly brasher sibling of the city centre establishment Centotre, owned by Victor and Carina Contini. Many aspects of the two are consistent, including the insistence on high quality, largely organic local produce…
Coyaba
113 Buccleuch Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
Coyaba means 'paradise' in Jamaica's indigenous Arawak language, so you get the sense that this place is aiming high. Colourful décor, cheery staff and upbeat reggae create an atmosphere that's warm and uplifting. Service is generally efficient…
Filmhouse Café Bar
88 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BZ
It is rare thing these days to find a place to eat that truly serves a purpose and functions without pretension, unnecessary frills or ideas above its station. The Filmhouse Bar has fulfilled such a role in Edinburgh for over 20 years, providing a…
Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè
11 Multrees Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3DQ
Centrally located in the swanky shopping precinct of Multrees Walk, Valvona & Crolla VinCaffè exudes a simple sophistication that keeps it at the top of Edinburgh's A-list of Italian eateries. Its sleek chrome and wood-panelled interior, live jazz and…
9 Cellars Restaurant and Bar
1–3 York Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3EB
As Indian restaurants go, 9 Cellars is one of the more unusual. Not only does its impressively long menu boast unfamiliar dishes unseen anywhere else, but the space itself is a labyrinth of intimate eating corners on different levels rather than the…
blue
10 Cambridge Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
In applying Slow Food philosophies, properly educating its staff and delivering superbly designed dishes, blue is doing a lot of things right. A fastidious sourcing policy forms the restaurant's backbone, the name of the game being those elusive goals…
Centotre
103 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
With its funky hot-pink walls, edgy uplighting and smooth background jazz, über-cool Centotre dresses to impress, and equally style-conscious diners pack out the place pretty much every night of the week. The downside of this popularity is that smaller…
Daniel's Bistro
88 Commercial Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Situated in the modern development along Commercial Quay, Daniel's is a temple to all things French – with a good dose of Scottish thrown in. Owner Daniel Vencker is originally from Alsace, but is keen to embrace his adopted country in all aspects of…
The Living Room
113–115 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
As the Edinburgh representative of a 13-branch national chain, the Living Room fits snugly into George Street's plush aesthetic. A busy bar leads into a vast dining area, hemmed in by brown leather booths and backlit drapes. Soft browns and beiges run…
Blueglass
45 Morningside Road,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4AZ
Occupying a prime location on a busy corner of Morningside Road, Blue Glass, with its crisp blue and white décor and relaxed, family-friendly atmosphere, brings a hint of the Mediterranean to Edinburgh's Southside. Café by day and bistro by night, it…
Iggs
15 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
Now approaching its 20th year, Iggs has become a byword for quality and consistency in Edinburgh's fickle restaurant scene. Where previously the menu meandered from classical Spanish to Scottish fusion, recently it has been reinvigorated by a focus on…
Iglu
2b Jamaica Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6HH
Iglu is a venue that takes its organic, local and ethical food policy very seriously. But don't feel guilty if you need to take a taxi there should you find it hard to locate: it's hidden away from the main drag of the city centre and lurks…
North Bridge Brasserie
20 North Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1YT
Already highly regarded for stylish, good-quality food and service, North Bridge Brasserie (part of the Scotsman Hotel) was about to undergo a comprehensive refurbishment as we went to press in April 2008. The heritage-listed wood and marble features…
The Vintners Rooms
The Vaults, 87 Giles Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6BZ
Relive the days when vintners would discuss the latest wine imports from France in this beautiful 18th century stucco sale room which is still only lit with candles. Named after the original diners, The Vintners Rooms makes a gracious nod to history…
Avoca
4–6 Dean Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
This is a bar that knows exactly what it's doing when it comes to food. It's not attempting to be a bistro: it's emphatically a bar and loves being a bar. Taste is everything in this little relaxing snug; music and chat don't intrude on your dining and…
Bellini
8b Abercromby Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
Eating at Bellini, with its grand, welcoming dining room complete with chandeliers, candle-light and background opera music, is an experience to be savoured. This New Town gem is no place for a quick, cheap meal, so settle in and soak up the sumptuous…
