Situated in the beautiful and hip Ashton Lane, Ubiquitous Chip is everyone’s favorite. Originally, despite its name the restaurant’s menu didn’t include any “chips” or fries. But due to popular demand for the traditional side dish, the chips are back to accompany foods that are hearty and fantastically prepared. It has a huge variety of Scottish brasserie-style dishes that are creative and sophisticated. Order a cocktail to go along with your choice, and take in the chic atmosphere that’s also laid-back and uber cool.
