One of Edinburgh’s best known Italian Restaurants.
Saffrani
11 South College Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AA
Unpretentiousness, modest décor and a homely atmosphere all belie the classy, sophisticated food that is served at Saffrani. In this small but comfortable restaurant, wonders from Pawan Kumar's kitchen resonate with echoes of the innovative, but now…
Spirit of Thai
44 Grindlay Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AP
Since 2006 this popular restaurant has been treating the West End's office workers and theatre-goers to attractively presented dishes and the friendliest service around. Simply styled, with cream walls and dark wooden beams, the small space has an airy…
Tonic (Devil's Kitchen)
34a North Castle Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3BN
When God (or whoever) created the hangover, they at least had the good grace to ensure that places like Tonic existed too. This quietly confident, compact bar is the perfect city centre bolthole for lunching or brunching away those boozy blues…
The Abbotsford
3 Rose Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PR
At first sight, this classic city centre bar looks like an old-fashioned spit and sawdust affair. But there's a real diversity of clientele here, from chattering ladies who lunch to the pinstriped suit brigade and hungover tourists seeking sustenance.
L'Alba D'Oro
5–7 Henderson Row,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5DH
A chippy that offers prawns with garlic and ginger – choice of single or supper, of course – alongside the traditional favourites has got to be something a bit different. L'Alba D'Oro (the name means 'dawn of gold') is a long-established leader in…
All Bar One
29–31 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PA
Once upon a time, All Bar One was the fresh-faced, exclusive bar-about-town frequented by apple flirtini-sipping suits. While never quite diverting the gastro-pub experts, it did embed the wine bar-diner concept in the nation's consciousness. But the…
Always Sunday
170 High Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1QS
Lunching lawyers, city breakers and local café crawlers succumb to the charms of the only café in town where every day is . . . Sunday. The ultimate escape when the cobbled and tam 'o shanter'd glory of the Royal Mile gets too much, this tasty time-out…
Bar Roma
39a Queensferry Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4RA
Nearly 30 years on, Bar Roma still knows how to throw a party and remains a popular venue for West End work functions and lively get-togethers. With its sprawling, brightly lit dining area and pulsing pop music, it's by no means intimate, and newcomers…
The Bongo Club
Moray House 37 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AQ
Scotland
One of the coolest and most
eclectic clubs in town. See listings for details.
The Cambridge Bar
20 Young Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4JB
For simple, filling pub grub, you can't do much better than a well-made burger and chips. That's virtually all they serve at the Cambridge, besides home-made bean burgers for veggies and chicken breasts for non-beef fans. It's the attention to detail…
Chez Pierre
18 Eyre Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 5EP
Chez Pierre may be a recent addition to Edinburgh's restaurant scene, but the name will be familiar to seasoned Scottish diners. Co-owner and head chef Pierre Levicky was the entrepreneur behind the Pierre Victoire chain, which briefly flourished across…
Cloisters
26 Brougham Street,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9JH
Occasionally, there's a short wait for chips at this Tollcross pub. It's nothing to do with bad service, though: the chef just needs freshly to peel more spuds. Great care is taken over the daily changing bar meal menu, which now includes extra dishes…
Double Dutch
27–29 Marshall Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9BJ
There's an appealing openness about Double Dutch. Windows take up the length of two walls, and the blonde wood of the furniture and floor brings a clean, bright feeling to the airy space. A small team works in an open kitchen, churning out…
Forth Floor Restaurant
Harvey Nichols, 30–34 St Andrew Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2AD
If you've ever shopped in Harvey Nichols, or even just walked past the window displays, you've probably got a pretty good idea of what its restaurant would look like. Retro-futuristic stylings, crisp white tablecloths and mood lighting from what appear…
Garibaldi's
97a Hanover Street, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 1DJ
The extensive drinks menu warns of cocktails containing no less than 50ml of spirit per glass, and patrons would be well advised to take note: Garibaldi's sells some of the strongest alcoholic concoctions in town. It's located down a flight of stairs…
Hewat's Restaurant
19–21b Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1QF
The entrance into Hewat's is a bit like a homely B&B sitting room, complete with large, comfy sofas, floral prints on the wall and cream and maroon décor. Turning a corner into the restaurant proper reveals a classic combination of dark wood…
The Hudson Hotel
7–11 Hope Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 4EL
When this former post office reopened in 2006 as a hotel, the idea was to create the atmosphere of a slick Manhattan hangout in Edinburgh's West End. Brick walls and dark floorboards on the ground floor bar may have you fooled that you're in a trendy…
Joanna's Cuisine
42 Dalmeny Street, Leith,
Edinburgh,
EH6 8RG
Although a little off the beaten track, near the bottom of Leith Walk, Joanna's is well worth the trek. The unassuming frontage belies the quality fare inside, which is all based on owner Joanna Wong's proud advocacy of healthy eating. The simple but…
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…
