Restaurant review: Kanpai, Edinburgh
IF FRIENDS visit Edinburgh and show an interest in sushi and noodles, I always point them towards one of my favourite restaurants and regular haunts, Sushiya, on Dalry Road. Its mix of traditional sushi with more substantial bowls of soupy dishes, made with ramen or udon noodles and big slugs of meat, along with prices that won’t make you wince, makes it one of the capital’s finest easy-eating venues.
Restaurant review: Coltman’s Delicatessen and Kitchen, 71-73 High Street, Peebles
THERE wasn’t a free table in the place, while the hubbub of happy chatter pointed to some contented customers

Restaurant review: VinCaffè, Edinburgh
There's a reason why I can eat out regularly, yet avoid becoming porky. It's because my other half, Rolf, likes to park as far away from our destination as possible.
Restaurant review: Opium, Glasgow
It's difficult to be glamorous, when you're squashed underneath a hair rejuvenation clinic. However, this new, basement-level Oriental fusion restaurant, with its slate-coloured decor and lotus-print wallpaper, manages it very well.
Restaurant review: Wildfire
We've previously reported in these pages how Rose Street in Edinburgh is due to be overhauled by Prince Charles' architects because it is now deemed a shabby eyesore that no longer keeps the punters rolling in, save for during rugby internationals, and sometimes not even then.
Restaurant review: Hadrian's Brasserie
Hadrian's Brasserie The Balmoral, 1 Princes Street, Edinburgh (0131-557 5000, www.hadriansbrasserie.com)
Restaurant Review: My Big Fat Greek Kitchen, 6 Brougham Street, Tollcross
THERE'S something quite entertaining about asking a taxi driver to take you to My Big Fat Greek Kitchen. It's certainly likely to prompt a few laughs anyway.
Restaurant review: Loch Leven Seafood Cafe
The only thing better than the trip to Loch Leven Seafood Cafe, a journey through Glencoe and then along the banks of the glassy sea loch, is arriving.
Restaurant review: Chop and Ale House, Linlithgow
IT'S Thursday lunchtime in the middle of nowhere and the Chop And Ale House is full. This is normal. It is full virtually every lunchtime, every evening and every weekend. Indeed, it has been for years.
Restaurant review: The City Art Centre Café , Edinburgh
Andy Warhol was crazy for Campbell's Soup, Salvador Dali loved lobster, and Yoko Ono is a fan of a bright-green Granny Smith.
Restaurant review: North Bridge Brasserie, Edinburgh
Until recently, I was in an almighty huff with this place. That's because, when I visited last summer, a pre-theatre meal had been a total washout, as the waiting staff were spectacularly grumpy and rude.
Restaurant review: Sutherland Restaurant, Peebles
AS YOU turn off the Edinburgh to Peebles road and drive up the winding track through Capability Brown-style landscaped grounds, Cringletie House stands proud on the hill.
Restaurant review: Hewat's, 19 Causewayside, Edinburgh
Since it opened in 2004, Hewat's has become a firm favourite with both Causewayside locals and visitors from further afield.

Restaurant review: Locanda De Gusti , Edinburgh
DISAPPOINTED. Angry. Fed-up. Incredulous. Sad. Reviewing Locanda De Gusti wasn't just an exercise in gastronomic endurance but the prelude to some serious time spent thumbing through my thesaurus searching for the right words to describe the emotions I experienced during an achingly mediocre meal at this formerly fine Italian restaurant.
Restaurant review: Good Seed Bistro, Edinburgh
THERE are more Michelin stars in Leith than there are in Glasgow, Manchester, Bristol, Liverpool, Cardiff and Leeds combined, while Edinburgh's stock of mid-range and cosmopolitan eateries continues to expand apace, even in these straitened times.
Restaurant review: Ubiquitous Chip, Glasgow
With all the magical stuff going on at the Ubiquitous Chip, I thought The Great and Powerful Oz might be hiding behind a curtain. Instead, you'll find digital artist Debs Norton, clicking away on a mouse beside a huge projector screen.
Restaurant review: North Bridge Brasserie, 20 North Bridge
THERE have been lots of changes going on at North Bridge Brasserie and they are well worth discovering.
Restaurant review: Café Milk, Edinburgh
Three meals a day aren't sufficient. After all, we're barely conscious when we eat the first, and the next is often inhaled al-desko, with one hand still clicking a mouse.
Restaurant review: Waterside Bistro, Haddington
NESTLING alongside the river Tyne at the point where it is crossed by the 12th-century Nungate Bridge, the Waterside Bistro must have one of the finest locations in Scotland.
