Home life getting you down? Move here. Seriously. It’s open from 10am till 10pm, serving everything from morning rolls through to a three-course dinner. There’s free wi-fi. People bring you drinks. The furniture is cool kitsch-retro-chic. If only the…
Dragon Way
74–78 South Clerk Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9PT
Dragon Way is certainly not your run-of-the-mill Chinese restaurant. Yes, the friendly staff serve up generous portions of shredded duck rolls and sesame prawn toast, spicy Lar Chee beef and slightly-less-spicy Cheung Bau chicken. And yes, you can get a…
Café Cassis
Salisbury Hotel, Salisbury Road,
Edinburgh,
EH16 5AA

Veteran restaurateur Bill Parkinson has been in the business for 46 years and it shows. Service is a speciality: he wants people to relax while they eat. If you’re enjoying his pre-theatre menu before heading across the road to the Playhouse you might…
Angels With Bagpipes

Urban Angel
1 Forth Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3JX
Seasonal, local and organic are the buzz words for these bright, informal, modern bistros. A high proportion of the menu is made up of daily specials making the most of what produce is best that day. A nourishing parsnip soup is enlivened with mustard…
The Old Bell Restaurant
233 Causewayside,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1PH
This welcoming restaurant above a bar still has its dark wood, white tablecloths and walls covered with pictures, but chefs rule now they have taken over the running of the Old Bell. Their ambition is to provide Newington with fine dining on Scottish…
Smoke Stack
53–55 Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RJ
A meat-lovers’ mecca since 1996, Smoke Stack reinforces its menu’s focus on beef with its spartan interior, the deep-crimson walls visually echoing the shade of a quiveringly rare fillet steak. While there are salads, fajitas and a few vegetarian…
Howies (Victoria Street)
10–14 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HG
Long time favourite on the Edinburgh dining scene, the Howies Restaurants group has waxed and waned over the years. Now operating from two locations, their Victoria Street operation, close by the Royal Mile, is well placed for tourists and locals alike.
Valvona & Crolla Vincaffè
11 Multrees Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3DQ

Edinburgh,
EH1 3SA

The Magnum Restaurant & Bar
1 Albany Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3PY

Sweet Melindas
11 Roseneath Street,
Edinburgh,
EH9 1JH

Calistoga
70 Rose Street North Lane,
Edinburgh,

Centotre
103 George Street,
Edinburgh,
EH2 3ES
