Agenda
92 St John's Road, Corstorphine,
Edinburgh,

5-7 Henderson Row, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH

The Albanach
197 High Street, Royal Mile, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH11PE
Right on the Royal Mile, the Albanach tempts tourists with a safe Scottish menu. Its bar, stocking 103 whiskies, leads to a wood and stone dining area out back. One may or may not appreciate the 'modern tartan' walls adorned with patriotic statements…
All Bar One
Exchange Plaza, 50 Lothian Road, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9BY
The All Bar One chain has long been considered the domain of besuited business high-fliers, and the location of both of Edinburgh's branches does nothing to dispel the notion. While collars, ties and neatly-shined brogues are the staple dress items of…

29-31 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PA
The All Bar One chain has long been considered the domain of besuited business high-fliers, and the location of both of Edinburgh's branches does nothing to dispel the notion. While collars, ties and neatly-shined brogues are the staple dress items of…
Always Sunday
170 High Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,

Amid the tourist traps of the Royal Mile, there are a few places where the locals really like to go. Always Sunday is one of them. A bustling café, it offers a wide range of breakfast choices and freshly-prepared lunches that are both practical and feel…
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…
Amber Roome
75/79 Cumberland Street,
Edinburgh,

Apero
34 Alva Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH3 4PY

Armstrongs
83 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HJ

Arts Café
City Art Centre, 1 Market Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
The Arts Café tries to be all things to all people, and more or less succeeds. For local workers, it's a reasonably-priced haven at lunchtime, both for sit-in and take-away. With tasty home-made soup and a roll coming in at under £2, and a plethora of…
Craigmillar Arts Centre Artspace
Craigmillar Arts Centre 58 Newcraighall Road,
Edinburgh,
EH15 3HS
Scotland
Assembly
41 Lothian Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,

The Howard Hotel, 34 Great King Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QH
Push open the heavy wooden front door to the Atholl Dining Room, enter a large hall with faux marble pillars and you've arrived in Edinburgh circa 1820. This elegant Georgian townhouse, now a hotel and restaurant, is in the heart of Edinburgh's New…
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…
Avoca
4-6 Dean Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LW
Tucked halfway down a residential street in Stockbridge, Avoca has the relaxed atmosphere and impeccable, friendly service that you would expect to find in a local village pub rather than a classy Edinburgh enclave. Don't be put off by the dated…
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…
The Bad Ass Bar, Bistro and Grill
167 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4LS
There's something of the faded opulence of a Bourbon Street blues bar about the Bad Ass, which isn't inappropriate when you consider its position on Edinburgh's famously pub-heavy Rose Street. It's far from being a rowdy place though - more like a…
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…
The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street, Old Town,
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…
Balmoral Hotel
1 Princes Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EQ
Scotland
Boasting one of the best addresses in town and with a tartan-trousered doorman waiting to greet you as you arrive, this giant Victorian building leaves a lasting impression on its guests and visitors. The spacious bedrooms and individually designed…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA

Bar 38
126-128 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4HH
Smack bang in the thick of the post-office drinking Mecca that is George Street, this spacious but generic-looking style bar makes no secret of its main pitch, with posters trumpeting happy-hour offers taking pride of place on the walls. It is to its…
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…
Barioja
19 Jeffrey Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
This lively tapas bar was originally launched as a less formal dining experience than its sister restaurant, Igg's, next door. Barioja has long since established itself as a well-respected place to at in its own right, with plenty of character, friendly…
Baroque
39-41 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JU
You'd have called it a style bar back in the heady days of the late-90s, but Broughton Street's Baroque is no longer the epicentre of cool. Posing pre-club queens now move on to hipper joints and Baroque's former core clientele has either mutated into…
El Barrio
119 Rose Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DT
Having relocated from its previous West Port location last year, this thriving Latin American bar and restaurant has had a real injection of fresh energy. The small entrance belies the expansive and stylish subterranean space, and the dark décor is…
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…
Belinda Robertson
13a Dundas Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6QG
Scotland
The 'Queen of Cashmere' opened her only store outside London in Edinburgh in 2004, selling a range of cashmere couture that soon had expensive clients hot under the collar. Her collections of modern, flattering designs using the luxurious yarn and…
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,
Located in what will surely be an eye-catching site at the foot of Broughton Street by the Mansfield Place roundabout, this is the new venture from a team of four partners including Rosario Sartore, the man who set up the highly regarded La Partenope on…
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…
Bennet’s Bar
8 Leven Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9LG
Scotland
Although it’s just as much a locals’ bar, Bennet’s catches a lot of passing trade from the King’s Theatre a couple of doors along (just in case you wondered why seven dwarves are pitching up at the bar come Christmas time). The original Victorian and…
Berlin Bierhaus

Edinburgh,
EH2 4PF
Scotland
Selection of cool house nights. See
listings for details.
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.
Biblos
1 Chambers Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1HR
Biblos has a sleek, minimalist interior, but, when it comes to food, it is reassuringly home-spun. Handily situated next to Old College and reliably packed with hordes of well-scrubbed students taking advantage of two-for-one drink and meal deals…
Bigos
277 Leith Walk, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8PD
With its honest home-cooking, Bigos, the capital's first Polish restaurant, has set the bar high for any competition. Brothers Tadeusz and Dariusz Krzysiak named the place after their national dish (a stew of sauerkraut, meat and mushrooms), and, with…
Bijou
2 Restalrig Road, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8BN
A relative newcomer on a street better known for its B&Bs than its haute cuisine, Bijou cuts quite a dash. The interior is cheerfully informal, and feels more like the front room of a relatively well-to-do friend than a restaurant. Fairy lights are…
Bisque Bar Brasserie
Bruntsfield Hotel, 69 Bruntsfield Place, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4HH
A replacement for the Bruntsfield Hotel's former dining operations, the King's Bar and Cardoon - which has now become a private function room - Bisque is a modern bar-brasserie that's open from morning right through to late evening. The L-shaped room…
Black Bo's
57-61 Blackfriars Street, Old Town,
Edinburgh,

Black Medicine Coffee Company
2 Nicolson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DH
The area near Edinburgh University's Southside campus is certainly not short of sandwich and coffee bars in which to grab a bite between classes. It proves a little harder, however, to find fresh, quality ingredients and a knowledge of how to combine…
Black Medicine Coffee Company
108 Marchmont Road, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1BG
The area near Edinburgh University's Southside campus is certainly not short of sandwich and coffee bars in which to grab a bite between classes. It proves a little harder, however, to find fresh, quality ingredients and a knowledge of how to combine…
Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
This neighbourhood restaurant is deservedly popular and has a welcoming and homely feel. The dining room is simply furnished with light furniture and wooden floors, and has a relaxed ambience which acts as the perfect backdrop to the carefully prepared…
blue bar café
10 Cambridge Street, West End,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2ED
Sharing a building with its big sister restaurant Atrium and the Traverse Theatre, blue bar café has the same innovative edge as both its neighbours. Having just undergone a makeover - opting for earthy tones in its décor - this place celebrates nature…
Blue Moon Cafe
36 Broughton Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3SB
There's more to this gay hangout, which has been happily ensconced on bohemian Broughton Street since 1986, than meets the eye. Facing the street itself is a light, airy café - the sort of place you could (and many do) relax and read the papers for an…
The Blue Parrot Cantina
49 St Stephen Street, Stockbridge,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5AH
There can't be many better-hidden eating places in Edinburgh; you could probably live around these parts for years without having any idea that this basement hideaway offers a warm and cosy environment where an unfussy range of spiced dishes are…
Boardwise
4 Lady Lawson Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9DS
Scotland
Boardwise has the technical know-how and the kit for those dedicated to snow sports, skateboarding and surfing. The three-fold sports shop stocks everything from shiny new equipment from makers such as Burton, NSP and Sector 9 to practical accessories…
Bombay Feast
32 Hillhouse Road, Blackhall,
Edinburgh,
Don't be put off the Feast's seemingly less-than-central location; it's known for its speedy delivery service locally. Added to this, the chef is more than happy to adapt dishes to cater for allergies or taste, so if you like your curry with a bit of…
