La Garrigue

0.9 miles
31 Jeffrey Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1DH

It is tempting to describe La Garrigue as an Edinburgh institution. You know the name, and perhaps you’ve long wanted to go. And go you should. Multi-awarded and much-exulted, La Garrigue is Jean Michel Gauffre’s proud paean to the cuisine of his native…

Mother India's Café

0.9 miles
3–5 Infirmary Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1LT

Something of a Glasgow stalwart, the Edinburgh branch of Mother India’s Cafe opened in 2008 and has replicated the popularity of its western sibling. Serving up Indian food in tapas-sized portions ensures the restaurant maintains a buzzing social feel…

Ondine

1.2 miles
2 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1AD

Perfectly framed by Ondine’s windows, a couple flirt at a bus stop on George IV Bridge. Their bus arrives and they disappear, off to continue their story somewhere else. Could they, should they have come in for dinner? Ondine feels like one of those…

Cucina

1.2 miles
Hotel Missoni, 1 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1AD

From the moment you pass through the chic bar en route to the restaurant upstairs, your senses will be assailed by a riot of colour, rich flavours and music shared with the rest of the building. Seats covered in fabrics from the Missoni fashion house…

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…

Café St Honoré

1.5 miles
34 North West Thistle Street Lane, Edinburgh, EH2 1EA

Venture down a cobbled New Town lane to find this romantic slice of Paris. With its wood panelling, black and white floor tiles and hazy old mirrors, the atmosphere is classic French brasserie. The food, however, is much more exciting. Under the…

Castle Terrace

1.6 miles
33/35 Castle Terrace, Edinburgh, EH1 2EL

When you emerge as the offshoot of a fairly flawless Michelin-starred restaurant there is only one way to avoid playing second fiddle. And that is, of course, to win your own star, which is exactly what Castle Terrace did in 2011, less than a year after…

Mezbaan South Indian Restaurant

1.6 miles
14/14a Brougham Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JH

South Indian restaurants offer a refreshing change from the Punjabi-based menus normally on offer in Edinburgh. Old favourites are still available for the less adventurous, but for anybody looking to experiment, Mezbaan is a great place to start. Wheat…

Restaurant Mark Greenaway

1.6 miles
69 North Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3LJ

Famed for his television appearances on the Great British Menu, in 2012 Mark Greenaway relocated his restaurant to a new city-centre venue. There are grand plans afoot but for now the stylish and muted interior plays second fiddle to the main star here…

The Honours

1.7 miles
58a North Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3LU

‘To do the honours of a table gracefully, is one of the outlines of a well-bred man.’ So says the rare 18th-century text from which Martin Wishart’s second Edinburgh venture takes its name, and both he and head chef Paul Tamburrini do the table proud…

Café Fish

1.8 miles
15 North West Circus Place, Edinburgh, EH3 6SX

Remember that bit in Bedknobs and Broomsticks where everyone marvels at the fun times to be had at the bottom of the beautiful briny (shimmery shiny) sea? Café Fish is just like that. Except you get to eat your fellow guests at the piscine ball. And…

Restaurant Martin Wishart

1.9 miles
54 The Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6RA

It’s more than that Michelin star. Restaurant Martin Wishart has a certain caché. It is a place to propose, to woo, to seal the deal. If it’s on the expense account, lucky you. If not, buy the ticket, take the ride: choose a tasting menu, with…

Mithas

2.0 miles
7 Dock Place, Edinburgh, EH6 6LU

London may have a number of fine-dining Indian restaurants but Khushi’s offshoot Mithas is the only place in Edinburgh offering such a high-end experience. The beautifully lit dark wood interior is divided into three sections, one offering a view of the…

The Kitchin

2.0 miles
78 Commercial Quay, Edinburgh, EH6 6LX

Of course, you can melt the credit card with the tasting or seasonal menus at this ultra-slick Leith restaurant, but Tom Kitchin has also brought his Michelin-starred brand of fine dining to a refreshingly wide audience of food lovers. A set lunch menu…

Chop Chop

2.0 miles
248 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8DT

With a plain and pleasant interior that’s more mess hall than Manchuria and a noisy, welcoming buzz about it, Chop Chop has built its popularity and reputation around its homemade dumplings, which are served boiled or fried with assorted, mixed meat…
