Glass & Thompson
To describe G&T as a bistro may not be quite accurate - café would probably best suit, but either way here is a real success story only a few minutes from the city centre, widely patronised, particularly as they do deli and takeaway as well.

Gourmet Burger Kitchen - Edinburgh
Gourmet Burger Kitchen was the brainchild of three New Zealanders, who craved after the way that food tasted back home. The chain was instrumental in changing the perception of many people who saw the traditional burger purely as a fast food option; instead they are now seen as more sophisticated products, made using fresh, good quality ingredients.

Grill Room at The Dome
If the passage of social history can be measured by the uses to which a country's buildings are subjected, The Dome poses an interesting sequence of events. Formerly the Physicians Hall, built by James Craig, it was replaced with a rather similar building in 1843 that housed in classical splendour the headquarters of the Commercial Bank of Scotland, only to become a magnificent bar and restaurant in more recent times simultaneously gaining a dignity that derives from a combination of banking, the leafy purlieus of George Street and the provision of a highly successful restaurant with leisure.

Grill Room, The
Whilst The Terrace Brasserie and Santini's offer excellent food and wines, the undoubted place to be for the more formally inclined is The Grill Room. When the Sheraton was built in 1985 the full brunt of designeritis had not hit and there was still plenty of room for the traditional.
