Urban Angel

1 Forth Street, Edinburgh, EH1 3JX

Over the past few years Urban Angel has established itself as an essential part of the vibrant dining scene around Broughton Street. The uncluttered and inviting main room is well run by simultaneously enthusiastic, relaxed and efficient staff. The…

Centotre

103 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3ES

The pillars holding aloft the Georgian ceiling at Centotre and clever use of booths provide nooks and crannies for romantic tete-a-tetes and broader spaces for parties and business lunches. There is a clear focus on the ingredients here: mozzarella…

The Living Room

113–115 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4JN

The large dining room, filled with business people and tourists easing into the cream leather booths, oozes laid-back sophistication. It is all surface shine, with smart, attentive staff and vases of orchids, but the substance, the food, doesn’t quite…

Merrylee Road Bar and Kitchen

128 Merrylee Road, Glasgow, G44 3DL

Candles, soft lighting and a piano player give this neighbourhood brasserie something of a posh hotel lobby atmosphere. The service is warm and informal though, and a mainly local and family clientele mean the place is actually quite relaxed. The menu…

Rawalpindi Tandoori

321 Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow, G2 3HW

Rawalpindi is another of Glasgow’s old-school Indians that date back generations. Most diners are regulars and there’s an easy-going vibe in the comparatively intimate space, even midweek when other city-centre restaurants can seem a bit cavernous.

Uplawmoor Hotel and Restaurant

Neilston Road, Uplawmoor, G78 4AF

Originally an 18th century coaching inn, this independent hotel continues to be a draw for travellers, weary or otherwise. A converted beamed barn houses an AA rosette restaurant, open at weekends for a la carte dining, while the lounge offers bar meals…

Urban Angel

121 Hanover Street, Edinburgh, EH2 1DJ

Drop down from the shoe-beaten pavement of Hanover Street into the comfortable ease of Urban Angel. The sunlight-brightened front room makes it easy to forget you’re in basement premises, while the quiet backyard courtyard, off the cosy rear dining…

Urban Bar & Brasserie

23–25 St Vincent Place, Glasgow, G1 2DT

Once headquarters of the Bank of England, the restaurant still has a feel of money about it. With original features like wood panels and an Art Deco ceiling offering a diffused soft light. With striking paintings and leather-clad booths, the overall…

Zucca

15–17 Grindlay Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9AX

As veterans of the Edinburgh restaurant scene, Zucca’s owners know the importance of playing to their strengths. That means keeping theatre goers happy with snacks from a restricted menu in the downstairs bar while the restaurant upstairs focuses on…
