(301 Argyle Street in Glasgow, United Kingdom)

You’ll find Collage in Glasgow’s Radisson SAS Hotel in Argyle Street. The name reflects the diversit...y of this lively restaurant’s food, an eclectic mix of cuisines that takes you on a whistle-stop tour of Europe. Start with farmhouse pate on toasted brioche or the deeply savoury green pea soup, then go for spit-roast chicken or asparagus ravioli. Meat is treated respectfully: both rib-eye and sirloin steaks are hung for 21 days, and the result is richly-flavoured beef that’s definitely a cut above. A Collage speciality is its range of one-plate dishes – Italian, French, Greek and Spanish, the latter piled with jamon, olives, chorizo, tortilla, manchego and tomato salad. The short but tempting dessert menu includes cranachan, a traditional Scottish pudding that mixes whisky and cream with oatmeal. Try it – it might sound strange but it’s awesome. Opening hours: Mon - Sat: 12pm - 3pm & 6pm - 10:30pmSun: 6pm - 10:30pm [moreless]

(14 - 14a Brougham street, Toll Cross in Edinburgh, United Kingdom)

On Edinburgh’s Tollcross, set in a traditional grey stone building, is Mezbaan, a popular South Indi...an restaurant drawing in both locals and visitors to the city alike. The approach, with burgundy awning and black and white tiled step, has a hint of Manhattan about it. The city slicker vibe continues inside with a well appointed dining room and extremely efficient service, however the food offers a rustic vibe, being the only place in Edinburgh to sample South Indian cuisine. Always popular is the street style food; masala dosas, idlis or the much talked about haggis pakoras, proving that it’s still possible to inject a touch of imagination in to Indian food. Opening hours: Mon - Sun 12pm - 2:30pm & 5pm - 11pm This is one of only a handful of South Indian restaurants in Scotland and the only one in Edinburgh. [moreless]
