Spoon

Field
0.9 miles
41 West Nicolson Street,
Edinburgh,

Field is clearly about one thing, the food. In these austere times, that’s a very good thing. Those behind this simple, stripped-back room near George Square, have tasty credentials. Most recently at The Plumed Horse, chef Gordon Craig and co-owner…
Itchycoo Bar & Kitchen
0.9 miles 80 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1THIt would be easy to dismiss Radisson Blu’s Itchycoo as just another hotel-restaurant tourist trap, all sleek, glossy surfaces and anonymity, but that would be to do it a disservice. With tables and booths dotted around a central bar area, the atmosphere…

The Royal Dick Bar & Bistro
1.0 miles 1 Summerhall, Edinburgh, EH9 1 PLSummerhall’s Royal Dick bar/bistro is about adventure, and it’s an adventure just finding it: head through the grandiose entrance hall that once welcomed veterinary students, and still feels like you shouldn’t run in the corridor. Out through a…

North Bridge Brasserie
1.0 miles
20 North Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1YT
A century ago, the marble columns, plush wood panelling and ornate cornicing of this grand room were privy to some fair old wrangles, as canny businessmen haggled with the Scotsman newspaper’s clerks over ad rates. Nowadays, there’s much less for…
Hellers Kitchen
1.0 miles
15 Salisbury Place,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1SL

Michael Neave Kitchen & Whisky Bar

The Doric Tavern
1.1 miles 15/16 Market Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DEThe self-proclaimed oldest gastro pub in Edinburgh is due for a refurbishment in 2011 that will hopefully see the currently rather bland décor raised to the same standard as the really rather good food. The menu mixes pub grub staples with some more…
