The perfect restaurant to experience a real taste of Italy.
Itchycoo Bar & Kitchen
80 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1TH
Replete with Timorous Beasties wallpaper and a vivid Foscarini chandelier, the distinctive Itchycoo could and should be a thriving city centre hangout. The desired effect is a little compromised by gleamingly bright lighting and a somehow hollow…
Karen Wong's Chinese Restaurant
107–109 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QY
Slightly off the beaten track, this cute and kitsch wee place is dominated by its eponymous hostess. Whether she is dancing to the 80s power ballad soundtrack (don't worry, the music isn't that loud), or posing for photographs with one of the birthday…
Librizzi
69 North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3LJ
This chic New Town restaurant with its crisp table linen, brass chandeliers and large, arched windows looking out onto Queen Street has a relaxed, intimate atmosphere. Service is discreet but attentive and there are lots of quiet, cosy corners in which…
Monteiths
57–61 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Spanking new Monteiths brings a touch of glitz and glamour to this section of the Royal Mile, more commonly associated with pubs and tourist attractions. The entrance is down a vine-arched and lit alleyway next to Moubray House, at the bottom of which…
La Partenope
96 Dalry Road,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2AX
La Partenope's new afternoon trading hours offer West End nine-to-fivers a convenient haven for a late-in-the-day work meeting. But be warned – once you sample a little something from the interesting nibbles menu and extensive regional wine list, you…
Santini Restaurant
8 Conference Square,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8AN
Saddled with a reputation for being stylish but expensive, Santini – now a single venue created from the two that existed previously – has often failed to earn the attention it deserves for its food. The glass front of the dining room lends it a…
Viva Mexico
41 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
Viva Mexico is a well-established Old Town haunt that is favoured by fans of Hispanic food, music and culture. Whether attending salsa, merengue or bachata lessons in the cavernous basement or popping in for lunch at the bar-style restaurant, regulars…
Bonsai
46 West Richmond Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
With the convivial hubbub of the closely packed tables, the sizzling steam and enticing aromas emerging from the kitchen, and the bold white, crimson and black décor, at Bonsai it's easy to imagine yourself in an izakaya in downtown Tokyo. And indeed it…
Café Marlayne
7 Old Fishmarket Close, 190 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1RW
Both restaurants share the same name, have interchangeable chefs and waiting staff and almost identical menus of gusty, well-flavoured French, no-fuss food with a Scottish twist, but offer quite different atmospheres. The Old Town café is a charming…
City Nightclub
1a Market Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DE
Scotland
From student nights to big house and guest DJs. See listings for selected highlights.
Creelers
3 Hunter Square,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QW
Creelers at Hunter Square has been wowing fans for almost 13 years. A range of tourists, regulars and locals – though not the goths that hang out by the Tron – make up the clientele in this establishment, which comes to life in the evenings. Although…
Eighty Queen Street
80 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4NF
Soft candle-light, live jazz and good cocktails are surely on the recipe for a good start to any night out. Eighty Queen Street displays these elements in abundance to ease you into your meal. From an extensive menu, which is served from 8am Monday to…
Fishers Bistro
1 The Shore,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6QW
Ah, Fishers – this place just does it better. From the wood-panelled entrance into the circular bar area to the view out to the Water of Leith from the dining room, the relaxed but superlative service all adds to the star of the show here: the food. The…
Howies
10–14 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HG
This excellent value restaurant chain is now an Edinburgh institution and deservedly so. There are four restaurants, conveniently situated in the four areas of the compass of central Edinburgh. Waterloo Place, in the east, has been recently renovated…
Jasmine Chinese Restaurant
32 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
The elegant interior and subdued orchestral music suggest that this is one of Edinburgh's more refined Chinese restaurants. But while this holds true for the food, on closer listening the seemingly classical music turns out to be an orchestral version…
The Kitchin
78 Commercial Quay,
Edinburgh,
EH6 6LX
He trained at some of Europe's finest restaurants under Pierre Koffman and Alain Ducasse, so it is not surprising that Tom Kitchin has made such a fast success of his Leith establishment. He returned to Scotland two years ago and within six months had…
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…
Old Chain Pier
32 Trinity Crescent, Newhaven,
Edinburgh,
EH5 3ED
Leith's Waterfront developments are bringing new residents and business to institutions such as the bustling Old Chain Pier, a historic location perched just above the Forth. There are outdoor tables in the summer, and the vast expanse of glass affords…
La P'tite Folie
61 Frederick Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1LH
Like the best local chains, the two branches of La P'tite Folie seek out and serve quite distinctively different customer bases in their different locations. The West End branch in Randolph Place buzzes with business talk at lunchtime. Its popularity is…
Phuket Pavilion
8 Union Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3LU
Run by owner Kanchana Parkinson and backed by her husband William, this Thai eatery has gained itself a good reputation in the four years since it opened. Offering all the staples you would expect from any such regional restaurant and more besides, it's…
Roti
73 Morrison Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 8BU
Roti bills itself as 'a restaurant that serves Indian food' rather than an Indian restaurant, which may seem a minor quibble, but as soon as you enter the building it all becomes clear. This is fine dining without the pomp and ceremony, offering a…
Shamoli
105 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SG
Tucked away at the top of a curved flight of old stone steps, this newcomer to the High Street confidently declares its presence with a flurry of signs and neon lights in the window. As with its sister restaurant Mya, on Commercial Quay in Leith, the…
The Storytelling Café
Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SR
Opened in 2006, the Scottish Storytelling Centre is the modern counterpart to the historic John Knox's House, composed of vast glass panels and modern angles. With a view of the Royal Mile's Canongate, the café space is demarcated by tactile, light wood…
Time 4 Thai
45 North Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3BG
In keeping with its image-conscious neighbours on George Street, Time 4 Thai has ditched the familiar adornments of elephants and corpulent Buddhas in favour of slick modern styling in dark wood, glass and muted shades of stone. While this minimalist…
