Café Voltaire
1.0 miles 36–38 Blair Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1QRCombining Old Town cellar with deliberately worn industrial touches, this is one of the city centre’s better looking bars. Coombed stones walls and low lighting make for an atmospherically louche hangout slightly at odds with the pumping bass on the…
Café Cassis
1.0 miles
Salisbury Hotel, Salisbury Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5AA
Now in its third year, Café Cassis remains unfamiliar even to many of Edinburgh’s enthusiastic restaurant goers. This is a shame, as it turns out highly enjoyable, seasonally influenced meals that aim to offer something for everyone, with lots of…
Hotel du Vin
1.1 miles 11 Bristo Place, Edinburgh, EH1 1EZHotel du Vin has always sought to rise above its peers in the often-dubious chain-hotel restaurant business. Here, snuggled between the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh University’s central campus, it succeeds. Upon leaving the hectic churn of…
Angels With Bagpipes
1.1 miles 343 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1PWWith a name like Angels with Bagpipes and a location opposite St Giles Cathedral on the Royal Mile, this restaurant is a tourist magnet. The upstairs area is compact with a pretty Edinburgh street view – but fear not, there is extra room on the lower…
Tower Restaurant
1.1 miles
National Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JF
Even on a clear day, it’s not quite possible to see the other two restaurants that make up restaurateur James Thomson’s local trilogy. What you can see through this one’s floor-to-ceiling windows – and most spectacularly from its fifth-floor terrace…
The Street
1.1 miles
2 Picardy Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JT
Floor-to-ceiling windows lend the top deck of this popular nightspot a slightly aquarium feel, while those wishing to lurk with the monkfish have plenty of options in the labyrinthine space downstairs, which can be hired out for private parties and has…
Bar Missoni
1.2 miles 1 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1ADA bar belonging to a fashion house will almost by definition be intimidatingly stylish: there cannot be many bars where the cocktail menu varies according to the colours and themes of the current fashion season. Nonetheless, the staff appear to be…
Smoke Stack
1.2 miles
53–55 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
Smokestack underwent an extensive makeover in spring 2012. Gone are the blood-red walls and restaurant-style dining, replaced with stripped-back pale grey decor, bright lights and all-day food service. The bright and breezy tone extends to the menu and…
The Mussel and Steak Bar
1.2 miles
110 West Bow, Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HH
In a part of town trying hard to shake its ‘stags & hens’ image, the Mussel and Steak bar treads a fine line between giving tourists what they want and serving up decent Scottish produce. There are a lot of happy marriages – surf with turf, scallops…
Amarone
1.3 miles
13 St Andrew Square,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2BH
Amarone is fighting to become a go-to venue for all things Italian on George Street. From the suited post-work crowd to hungry shoppers, the cavernous former bank has more than enough room in its 200-plus covers. The restaurant has an open pizza kitchen…
The Witchery by the Castle
1.3 miles
Castlehill, Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NF
One of Edinburgh’s most famous restaurants, celebrated as much for its location near the Castle and historic atmosphere as for the food. There are two distinct dining areas: the darkly romantic 16th- century Witchery, its red leather seats, and old oak…
Agua Restaurant & Bar
1.3 miles
Apex City Hotel, 61 Grassmarket,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HJ
Agua, located on the ground floor of the Apex City Hotel, may not be able to compete with the peerless view of Edinburgh Castle offered by its sister restaurant, Heights, in the Apex International, a few doors down. But Agua does offer a well-considered…

Tempus
1.3 miles
25 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2PB
Set in the former grand dining room of the George Hotel, Tempus tries to strike a casual note in historic surrounds, although the mood and the menu aim more at gastro pub than formal restaurant. The stature of elaborate plasterwork and substantial…
Amicus Apple
1.5 miles
17 Frederick Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2EY
Like most bars in the commercial heart of the New Town, this informal restaurant and trendy cocktail spot has to balance the needs of a varied crowd with a veneer of stylish desirability at all times. The food is not bad, although perhaps the victim of…
Café Andaluz
1.5 miles 77B George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3EEThe lavish interior of Cafe Andaluz, tiled within an inch of its life and hung with myriad Moorish lanterns, simply screams ‘Spanish’, so oddities like soy and chilli prawns or confit duck stand out for the wrong reasons. But according to Cafe Andaluz…
Strada
1.6 miles 15 Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3AHAlthough there is a corporate feel to Strada’s clean lines and functional décor, the spectacular view of Edinburgh Castle from its outdoor tables is surely a one-off.

Chaophraya
1.6 miles
33 Castle Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3DN
Taking over the prestigious former premises of Oloroso, up above George Street, high-end Thai chain Chaopraya is a masterclass in studied swankiness. The large space is broken up into intimate booths and softlit corners eyed by solemn Buddhas, with…
