Abstract
33/35 Castle Terrace, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2EL
There's a piece of advice for women in the film LA Story - once you've put on all your jewellery and accessories, check the mirror and then remove the piece that catches your eye. And if Abstract excised just the mirror-ball pillar from amongst the…
Tapas Tree
1 Forth Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JS
A number of tapas places have come and gone in the capital over the years, but the Tapas Tree remains as successful as ever. It's been a New Town institution for 11 years now, and the reason for its success is pretty straightforward - great-tasting…
The Jam House
5 Queen Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JE
Housed in the rather grand former BBC building facing Queen Street Gardens, this is essentially a live music venue that incorporates a fine-dining restaurant on the balcony overlooking its main stage and a more casual lounge-style dining experience on…
Café Marlayne
76 Thistle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EN
If you want to secure a table at Café Marlayne's Thistle Street branch this weekend you'd better get dialing. Head chef and proprietor Isla Fraser's reputation for sensibly-priced, ultra-fresh and fidget-free cookery has won this pint-sized New Town…
Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
This heavenly restaurant and deli is spread across a warren of small basement rooms in a former bakery on Hanover Street. The surroundings combine old with new, partnering original features such as the solid fuel bakery ovens and polished flagstone…
Fishers in the City
58 Thistle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EN
An unprepossessing entry off Thistle Street leads to a theatrical and modern interior with a distinctly nautical feel. Split-level nooks, clusters of bric-a-brac and a splendid wooden boat-shaped bar make up the lower level, with bistro-style tall…
Atrium
10 Cambridge Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
There's a reason why the Atrium is one of Edinburgh's most renowned restaurants - the food is simply divine. Chef Neil Forbes has affiliations to the Slow Food movement, which means the Scottish/Mediterranean menu is created with an eye not just to the…
David Bann Vegetarian Restaurant
56-58 St Mary's Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
Shunning the bohemian stereotype of vegetarianism in favour of minimalist, grown-up sophistication, David Bann's recently refurbished restaurant arguably appeals more to yuppies than hippies. However, despite sleek surroundings, snappy service and…
Tonic (Devil's Kitchen)
34a North Castle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3BN
When God (or whoever) created the hangover, they at least had the good grace to ensure that places like Tonic existed too. This quietly confident, compact bar is the perfect city centre bolthole for lunching or brunching away those boozy blues…
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…
Centotre
103 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
So committed are Victor and Carina Contini to creating the fresh, authentic food that is ubiquitous in Italy, they ship the majority of their produce from Milan each week. And not from just any supplier - they make it a point to get to know the…
The Engine Shed Cafe
19 St Leonard's Lane, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
In 1989, a disused shed from the Innocents Railway was turned into what is now the Garvald-run Engine Shed - a spacious, airy building with a friendly, community atmosphere, home to a number of initiatives that provide training and work for adults with…
A Room in the Town
18 Howe Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6TG
Excellent service at this well-run Scottish restaurant in the New Town creates a very pleasant dining experience. This place is popular with groups, who can entertain themselves by spotting the rude bits in the mural, which spans the length of one wall.
Sushiya
19 Dalry Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BQ
Well, it's not Lost in Translation, but this West End sushi and noodle bar offers the closest thing to Tokyo as Edinburgh can offer. Sushiya is super-slick; its edgy atmosphere is created with high tables, bar stools, a television with looped Japanese…
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
It's impossible to miss Chop Chop's bright yellow and red façade, and the décor inside is equally vibrant. The practical tables, paper napkins and simple Chinese art are subtle hints that perhaps the food is this venue's major draw. Guidance notes on…
Khushi's
9 Victoria Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HE
Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, Khushi's has dropped its 'Original' tag and moved from its previous Potterrow location to grander, more spacious premises on Victoria Street. A huge crystal chandelier dominates the imposing staircase, while…
A Room in the West End
26 William Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 7NH
Try not to miss this cosy bistro, tucked round a corner of trendy West End William Street and beneath Teuchtars Bar. It is worth finding for its Scottish menu and vibrant atmosphere. Inspired by sister restaurant A Room in the Town, the ambitious menu…
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…
Frankie's Restaurant
27 Bread Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AL
Located opposite the Point Hotel and just footsteps from some of Edinburgh's less salubrious drinking dens, Frankie's Restaurant is perhaps the most, if not the only, understated establishment on Bread Street. But walking past this relaxed restaurant…
Garibaldi's
97a Hanover Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
The extensive drinks menu warns of cocktails containing no less than 50ml of spirit per glass, and patrons would be well advised to take note: Garibaldi's sells some of the strongest alcoholic concoctions in town. It's located down a flight of stairs…
The Kitchin
78 Commercial Quay, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
Halfway along the uniform row of restaurants and bars in Leith's modern Commercial Quay is Edinburgh's newest Michelin star restaurant: the Kitchin won the accolade just six months after opening in the summer of 2006. The understated but comfortably…
Maison Bleue
36-38 Victoria Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
Maison Bleue has the kind of cosily romantic interior that Edinburgh's Old Town excels at: all stone arches, nooks, crannies and candlelight. Unfortunately, this also means rather cramped tables, and you need good eyesight to read the menu in lighting…
Anima
11 Henderson Row, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
Sitting next door to its sister operation L'Alba D'Oro, Anima aims to provide 'Italian soul food' for its New Town clientele, and accomplishes its mission statement with suitable panache. It's open for both lunch and dinner, and almost every aspect of…
Baraka
3-5 Infirmary Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1LT
This Infirmary Street restaurant has undergone several changes of identity in recent years. Now operating under the name of Baraka, the venture appears to be attempting to be all things to all bon viveurs, with a spacious bar-restaurant offering several…
La Favorita
325-331 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8SA
