- Vittoria ‘On the Bridge’
The perfect restaurant to experience a real taste of Italy. - Vittoria ‘On the Walk’
One of Edinburgh’s best known Italian Restaurants.
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…
Dalriada
77 Promenade, Portobello,
Edinburgh,
EH15 2EL
Situated in an imposing building at the Joppa end of the Portobello Promenade, Dalriada is a fantastic bar-cum-café that's just perfect for an afternoon coffee and cake while you watch the waves roll in, or an evening drink as the sun sets over the…
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…
The Grain Store
30 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
Overlooking one of Edinburgh's most attractive streets, the Grain Store is a capital institution, and has been under the stewardship of chef Carlo Coxon and manager Paul MacPhail for more than 15 years. A warm greeting awaits you after the climb up from…
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…
Le Marché Français
9a West Maitland Street,
Edinburgh,
EH12 5DS
This is a popular deli and café by day with a large window full of croissants and baguettes, but come evening, the window is devoid of patisserie and you have to peer past the shelves of tins and jars of French produce to the back of the shop to see…
Mariachi
7 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HE
Mariachi has all the hallmarks of an archetypal Mexican restaurant. The Latin music is upbeat, the décor is loud and the tequila is strong, and, despite having capacity for up to 160 revellers, there's still plenty of space for conga lines and dancing…
Oloroso
33 Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DN
With its sleek linear stylings, bold yellow flashes and adjoining cocktail bar, Oloroso cut quite a dash when its elevator first sprang open back in 2001. Since then, while nearby George Street competitors have been catching up in the style stakes, Tony…
Opal Lounge
51 George Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2HT
Scotland
This labyrinthine, subterranean bar/restaurant below George Street is a stylish venue for a meal, a quiet drink, or, very late in the day, a spot of clubbing. The mood is funky and très chic, with a motif of hot-pink and 1970s stylised flowers - the…
Pani Solińska
73 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Pani Solinska is Polish for 'Mrs Solinska'. Dorothy Nowak-Solinska took over Broughton Street landmark Café Mediterraneo last year, but before putting her name above the door in spring 2008 took some time to design a restaurant she could be proud of.
Queen Street Café
The Scottish National Portrait Gallery, 1 Queen Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1JD
The term 'home-made' is thrown about by restaurants as carelessly as 'local ingredients' and 'authentic cuisine', and not always entirely truthfully. This modestly sized café in a secluded corner of the National Portrait Gallery is one of the few which…
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…
Wildfire Restaurant and Grill
192 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4AZ
The name Wildfire doesn't provide too many clues about this place, but if you look closely at the small print you'll see that the restaurant bills itself as a Scottish steak and seafood bistro. Everything takes place in a simple, small, square dining…
Buffalo Grill
12–14 Chapel Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
'Native American' is very much the theme at both Buffalo Grills, which means steak, Corona and a veritable tribe of chiefs in monochrome bedecking the walls. Right next to the university, the Southside branch is unsurprisingly lively. But for the…
Café Marina
61 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1BS
The Valvona & Crolla dynasty just goes from strength to strength. In this modern diner-style café Marina Crolla offers the best of home-cooked Italian food. Be it panini, risotto or one of the fabulous pastas, you can eat in or takeaway with style.
La Concha
18–24 Deanhaugh Street,
Edinburgh,
EH4 1LY
It may sound Spanish, but La Concha actually takes its name from the sister of chef/owner Richard Morana, and its flavour is predominantly Italian. Opened in 2005 and stylishly extended to double the capacity without compromising its friendly…
Great Wall Chinese Restaurant
105–109 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH13 9AN
If the Great Wall of China is visible from space, it's fitting that the Great Wall Chinese Restaurant occupies a similarly conspicuous position on Lothian Road. Behind the sizable façade, the décor is standard Chinese chintz – mirrored walls, myriad…
Hard Rock Café
18–20 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PF
Brace yourselves. A trip to the globe-straddling Hard Rock Café is more experience than mere meal out. Leave any resistance at the door and let your smiling server lead you into a bear pit of gaudy cocktail-fuelled groups on work nights out…
Howies
208 Bruntsfield Place,
Edinburgh,
EH10 4DE
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…
Kalpna
2/3 St Patrick's Square,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9EZ
It's been left to the Kalpna to fly the flag for meat-free eating in a surprisingly under-served capital for quarter of a century. To its credit it has done so constantly, while simultaneously being one of Edinburgh's top Indian restaurants. Kalpna's…
Koi
26–30 Potterow,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BT
For those who enjoy dinner with a dash of drama, Koi is definitely the place. Whether the front-of-house chef is playing with fire, juggling kitchen utensils or tossing morsels for diners to catch in their mouths, this is a restaurant that wants to have…
The Living Room
113–115 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JN
As the Edinburgh representative of a 13-branch national chain, the Living Room fits snugly into George Street's plush aesthetic. A busy bar leads into a vast dining area, hemmed in by brown leather booths and backlit drapes. Soft browns and beiges run…
