International Starters
82 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
This well-oiled machine, which sits near the banks of Edinburgh's increasingly prosperous Shore area, has something for everyone. With a menu boasting dishes from around the world, the premise is simple: each person selects two or three starter-sized…
Sabor Criollo
36 Deanhaugh Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
The sign outside says this is a 'Latin American' restaurant. This ensures no breaches of the Trades Description laws when the chef pulls dishes from the likes of Peru, Mexico and Colombia into his specials menu. But at the heart of the place is a…
Calistoga
93 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
Calistoga is Edinburgh's only dedicated Californian restaurant. It also has its own wine shop, Sideways, in which curious Chardonnay quaffers can take a personally tutored wine tasting before dinner. There is an astounding range of expertly selected…
Brazilian Sensation
117–119 Buccleuch Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9NG
With an emphasis on good cuisine and familial service, Brazilian Sensation has long set its stall on hearty home-cooked portions and enough originality to appeal to even the most adventurous palette. A well-run family enterprise headed by John and Lucia…
Empires
24 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SU
Colourful, cluttered and slightly chaotic, Empires is richly decorated with ornate wooden panelling, hand-painted ceramics and cascades of mosaic lanterns twinkling overhead. By day it is bright and cheery, offering healthy lunches and herbal teas, but…
Nile Valley
6 Chapel Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
As Edinburgh's only Sudanese restaurant, Nile Valley should be carving out a niche as a refreshingly different destination for diners from across the city. Unassuming and clearly not given to shouting about itself, however, this small, cosy…
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…
Backstage Bistro
22 Valleyfield Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LR
At first glance, this is just a simple diner tucked away around the corner from the King's Theatre, but further investigation reveals Backstage Bistro as a venue with a distinct personality. Its location, for a start, means that its pre-theatre dining…
Cuba Norte
192 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8EB
Spread over two floors, Cuba Norte is heavy on the fun factor, which is not to say that the many after-workers who frequent this bustling establishment cannot find ample space to enjoy a quiet drink, while sampling the reasonable array of food found on…
Hanedan
41 West Preston Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PY
The fact that Hanedan's owner and chef, Gursel Bahar, has previously flexed his culinary muscles at the Four Seasons and with Sir Terence Conran at London's exquisite Quaglino's restaurant will come as little surprise to anyone who's sampled the…
Magda
6 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9UH
Sparsely decorated and modestly furnished, Magda relies on a large poster of a map of Africa on one wall and the evocative sketch of a dhow inside the menus to set the scene. It could be a place for the adventurous eater to take a less adventurous…
Maison Bleue
36–38 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
The romantic stone arches of this Old Town space are quintessential Edinburgh yet lend themselves beautifully to the French-north African theme of Maison Bleue. Décor creates an intimate atmosphere, as does the layout, so those on neighbouring tables…
Papoli
244a Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8DT
A simple, neat, single-room diner not far from Haymarket – an area of town that draws both business and local residential clientele – Papoli is a new venture from the same husband-and-wife team who had previously run Pizza Primo on the same site. With…
Hanam's
13a Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JS
Not for nothing has Hanam's owner Jahmal Ahmed applied for new, bigger premises on Victoria Street. Pared down and pleasantly unassuming in design, Ahmed's current location on Tollcross already has a loyal following, due in no small part to its…
The Khukuri Nepalese Restaurant
8 West Maitland Street,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DS
It would be easy to walk past The Khukuri on a daily basis and not notice it's there. Which is a shame, because this Nepalese restaurant has much to offer. From outside, there's no sign of the seating within, but once you enter, a warm welcome is…
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…
Nargile
73 Hanover Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1EE
Of the many busy restaurants located right in the heart of Edinburgh's city centre, Nargile is one of the few that manages to balance quality, uniqueness and a certain personal touch. Owned by husband and wife team Seyhan and Anne Azak (the former also…
Morocco Restaurant
3a1 Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QG
There is much to enjoy about this Moroccan haven, from its varied culinary offerings to its belly-dancing entertainment. In the capital's New Town, Morocco has authentic flare, its ornamental hangings, a varied, sizable food menu and reasonable wine…
El Barrio
119 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DT
While the attendance of a bouncer on the door may hint at the party going on downstairs, a relatively modest exterior gives little suggestion of the fiery Latin spirit waiting inside. With a well-stocked bar – complete with exotic beers, rums, tequilas…
Gourmet Burger Kitchen
137 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 HJY
GBK first brought its Kiwi-inspired brand to Scotland in late 2007, bringing its UK total to over 40 branches. Its motto – 'it's all about the burger' – is well illustrated by the 30-plus burger variations on the menu, including 14 with a beefburger at…
Bigos
277 Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
There is a home-spun image created by the rough hewn wooden word 'Bigos' nailed on to the front of this tiny restaurant. And despite the dangerous looking agricultural implements and animal skins hanging on the walls, Bigos does without doubt have a…
Phenecia
55-57 West Nicolson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DB
After two decades in the business, Phenecia has perfected the formula of combining wholesome fare with super-low prices. And its relaxed atmosphere and location, right in the middle of Edinburgh's university quarter, attracts the students in droves. The…
Word of Mouth
3a Albert Street,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HL
Here is an unusual hybrid between a café and a restaurant. Open all day for breakfast, coffees and takeaway sandwiches, it also serves hot lunches and substantial dinners. The tables are packed tightly together, and a good sized corner of the room…
Khublai Khan Mongolian Barbecue
43 Assembly Street,
Edinburgh,
EH6 7BQ
Whatever you happen to believe about the cooking methods employed by Mongolian warriors of the 13th century, the tongue-in-cheek presentation of their cuisine at Khublai Khan is bound to raise an eyebrow at some point in the evening. It could be doubted…
Laraz
4–6 Lochrin Buildings, Gilmore Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9NB
One of two Kurdish restaurants to emerge in the Tollcross area over the past couple of years, Laraz serves lunch, dinner and a pre-theatre option aimed at patrons of the King's Theatre across the road. They have gone to great lengths to stick with a…
