Set in the luxurious surroundings of Princess Square, Cranachan boasts a menu of traditional Scottish favourites brought into the modern age.

The 2019 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £5.95 (+p&p).
This bustling café is nestled in under the great glass-domed roof of Princes Square shopping centre. All things Scottish are well represented here – think haggis bon-bons, Cullen skink and Stornoway black pudding – but there are also burgers, fillet steaks and curry. The extensive menu is split into starters, platters, salads, sandwiches and mains. Pan-seared bream comes with parsley crushed potatoes, pesto and grilled veg, while the chicken sandwich is served with rocket, tarragon crème fraîche and roasted peppers. Cranachan's eponymous cake — a reimagining of the traditional dessert — is a definite highlight. Fluffy sponge topped with cream, whisky-soaked raspberries and a sprinkling of oatmeal is good enough to round off any lunch. Try it with a pot of Suki tea, a latte, or even a digestif. Pop in at breakfast time, too, before a bit of shopping for French toast, clootie dumplings, waffles or porridge.
