The best restaurants serving Other international-cuisines food in Scotland

Small foodie restaurant with nearly all of the menu being gluten free and enough vegetarian options. Make a reservation on the weekends as it fills up quickly.

Very friendly and attentive. The mussels and fish and chips were extremely tasty. Would go back at any time.

First time in our local restaurant. Really nice food & service. They had lunch menu. Stater & main for £15.

Delicious food, super helpful staff and a stunning interior! Thank you so much ☀️

Since seeing my first play here last week, I have popped back in to the café with my son to warm up after our sip in the Loch! The play, Noel Coward’s Brief Encounter, was fabulous. The cast of seven also dipped in and out of a jazz band on stage that added a beautiful dynamic to the play. We started our evening with supper in the café - delicious soup, a glass of wine and a sweet treat to finish, served by friendly and helpful staff. You can order picnic boxes which give a delightful mix of supper items to fit all dietary requirements. Views over the river Tummel and even to Ben Vrackie on a clear day. The newly redeveloped café and entrance area is a lovely open space to await a performance or just pop in for a coffee and cake whilst visiting the area. There’s outside seating and a little children’s play area as well as a small number of plants for sale from the Explorers Garden which is in the same site; and ticketed separately (£5) and well worth a visit.

Back for more. Great food, lovely atmosphere. Chloe is first class with the service, reasonable price

Genuinely brilliant food. Great, warm service. Would return without hesitation.

Fairly small venue but with excellent staff and menu. Food and staff better than most places around. Would definitely recommend.

Ka Pao is a fantastic spot in Edinburgh for anyone craving vibrant and creative Southeast Asian flavors. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is buzzing with energy and excitement, making it a perfect place for a memorable dining experience. The menu is inventive, with a variety of small and large plates that are perfect for sharing, allowing you to try a bit of everything. The food is outstanding—each dish is packed with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a beautiful balance of spice and zest. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with recommendations if you’re not sure where to start. Don’t miss their cocktails, which are as creative as the food and pair perfectly with the dishes. Ka Pao is a wonderful choice for a night out with friends or a special dinner. It brings a unique, exciting twist to Edinburgh’s food scene that’s sure to leave you wanting to come back for more! Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something a little different!

The word inspiration equals impunity because the food has nothing Jamaican about it, the prices are astronomical and the portions are ridiculously small (4 slices of banana £4.50) which doesn't even make 1 full banana ridiculous🙄. The Jerk sauce is yellow (I've never seen one like that). The flavor isn't there which is an insult to Jamaican cuisine. Now I don't know if this is due to there being no Jamaicans in the kitchen or if it was adapted for the Scottish palate 🤷🏾‍ ♀️

We from wales and decided to give this restaurant a try, very nice steaks and every dish was perfectly presented and prepared, even with kids plenty of options Would highly recommend

Food was good value for the price but let down by lack of decor and lack of drinks available. Wouldn’t go back.

Fantastic location and view. Food excellent and reasonable. Have returned every year! Have visited every year for 10 years. Great view of the harbour. Friendly staff. Dog friendly.

I'd always thought the place looked a bit cheap and may as I passed on the bus. But we went in recently and I really liked it. Nice beer garden out the back

We visited this beautiful wee gem tucked away in this pleasant suburb of Edinburgh: Newington. The lovely couple who own it ( and two sister restaurants in the city) explained they have changed their emphasis to wine by the glass or bottle with upmarket snacks from local high quality suppliers such as Iain Mellis cheese. We loved the cosy autumn into winter vibe: beautiful tasteful lighting enhanced this. They have a truly fabulous selection of wine to suit all tastes. We can’t wait to go back!
