Amber
The Scotch Whisky Heritage Centre, 354 Castlehill, The Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NE
This gem of a restaurant may seem to cater to tourists, being, as it is, slap-bang on the trail, but it is quite a find and well worth the trek to the Royal Mile for locals. Set beneath the Whisky Heritage Centre and close to Edinburgh Castle, the plain…

Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,

Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED

Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
Tucked into a quiet street in Tollcross behind the King's Theatre, this cosy little restaurant decorated with old movie posters is a popular choice with theatre and cinema-goers. Casablanca-born chef Hamouda el-Qmache and his wife Karla took over in…
La Bagatelle
22a Brougham Place, Tollcross,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JU
Thick, etched crystal glasses and dated carpet and curtains may be somewhat 'dining room at the old folks' home', but, in fairness, the tables here are better spaced and the soft furnishing provide far better acoustics than in many a trendier…

Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
Sitting just off the Royal Mile, the fully vegetarian Baked Potato shop attracts everyone from busy lawyers to cost-conscious backpackers and boasts the largest potatoes this side of Chernobyl. A wide range of fillings is provided in generous portions…
Balli's Indian and Mediterranean Restaurant
89 Hanover Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EE
Yup, you read correctly: this is both Indian and Mediterranean food. It seems an unlikely mix, but the driving force behind the unusual combination is to offer a more diverse menu to please large parties and families. Indian cuisine, though, is the…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Now into its third decade, the Cugini family's Bar Roma remains one of the big boys in the Edinburgh-Italian playground. Assertive white table cloths and stiff napkins underpin a surprisingly vibrant West End Italian restaurant with a consistently busy…
Baraka

Barioja
19 Jeffrey Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR

El Barrio
119 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,

The Basement
10a-12a Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
The loud, funky music and equally loud Hawaiian shirts sported by the staff in this subterranean bar and bistro give an early indication of the casual, fun philosophy behind it. Despite an extension of the dining area early last year, the tightly-packed…
Bell's Diner
7 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AN
A low curtain shields the interior of this high-ceilinged, low-lit room from the eyes of passers-by. Inside, however, a slightly raised timber floor allows diners to look into the street. It's a clever touch that makes guests feel slightly superior to…
Bella Mbriana
7-11 East London Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,

Bellini
8b Abercromby Place, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
The sea bass is beautiful. The belly is as pearly white as the moment the fish was pulled from the sea. The pewter-coloured skin is lightly charred and fennel seeds and the merest whiff of earthy truffle oil fragrance the perfectly cooked flesh. It's a…
B'est
16 Drummond Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9TX
They might not set the culinary heather alight, but sautéed garlic mushrooms on French toast are sometimes exactly the sort of thing you want. Innovation is all well and good, but occasionally you just need the classic combination of garlic and butter.
