Nagoya Original Sushi Restaurant
21 Dalziel Place,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5TP
New to Meadowbank, Japanese restaurant Nagoya feels like it needs a little time to grow into itself. Let’s hope that it does, because this is an area that sorely needs a cosy neighbourhood restaurant or two. It’s a promising beginning – a neat-as-a-pin…

Edinburgh,
EH7 5TP
Husband and wife team Colin and Irene Chiu run this friendly neighbourhood restaurant perched just off the main road through Meadowbank. Named after an emperor’s summer palace, Xanadu’s own decor is simple and functional with Chinese scenes on the pale…

The New Masala Pot
25 Parsons Green Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH8 7AF
Hidden behind a bus stop next to an electricity sub-station, The New Masala Pot’s exterior can be a little off-putting on first visit, and the slightly jaded, two-tone curry-coloured interior doesn’t help. Making the leap to eat from here can be quite…
Spoilt for Choice
19 Marionville Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5TY
Billing itself as Edinburgh's new home of 'soul food' this Afro-Caribbean take away in Meadowbank has big plans: lunchtime opening starts in May 2012 and they are scouting sites for a dedicated restaurant. These are bold moves for a tiny site with just…
Foodies at Holyrood
67 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AU
At first glance, this airy, light-filled café seems a touch out of the way. But factor in the tourist draws of Dynamic Earth and Holyrood Palace, as well as politicians popping over the road for their daily bread, and you’ll understand why it’s…
The Kilderkin
67 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8BT
With a name like this (it’s a unit of measuring ale equivalent to two firkins or half a barrel) it’s no surprise to find that Kilderkin is serious about its alcohol. Under the co-ownership of James Nisbet, also of Leith Walk’s Windsor Buffet and…
Mr Hot Potato
12 Wolseley Place, Jock's Lodge,
Edinburgh,
EH8 7AD
Situated on the main road carrying commuters out of the city to the east, Mr Hot Potato offers nutritious fast food that's also incredibly good value. For a mere handful of change, you can have a hefty, hot baked potato with any two fillings, and the…

The Manna House
22–24 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RG
In its few short years on earth, the Manna House has become an institution beloved of ladies from Morningside, builders on their way to a job and all walks of life in between. A first-class bakery and patisserie, it’s also branched out of late into full…
The Sheep Heid
43–45 The Causeway, Duddingston,
Edinburgh,
EH15 3QA

The Canon's Gait
232 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DQ
The Canon’s Gait is a pub with plans. It has become something of a hub for Edinburgh’s Gaelic community, and hosts Scottish folk music three nights a week: as a large space in the traditional heart of the city it takes to these roles well. It backs up…
ArtCafe Morita
204 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DQ
Positioned halfway down the Royal Mile, ArtCafe Morita combines traditional café, Japanese fast food outlet and ambitious gallery space. Proprietor Kozo Hoshino is the custodian of a large private art collection, the Victor Murphy Trust, from which he…
The Holyrood 9A
9a Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AE

Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,

Relaxed neighbourhood bistro Blonde occupies a quiet spot on St Leonard's, not far from the hustle and bustle of student-filled South Clerk Street. Its two unassuming dining spaces are clean, minimal and simply furnished, with blonde wood and large…
Bonsai Bar Bistro
46 West Richmond St,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
What Bonsai Bar Bistro lacks in size, it makes up for in atmosphere. Bustling and sociable, you’ll have some friendly banter with your waiter, and wind up in conversation with your neighbouring table. The menu, based on small dishes to share, invites a…
Café Truva
251–253 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8BQ
You can now pop in for the same Café Truva Mediterranean menu at three branches across Edinburgh. Leith, Lady Lawson Street and Canongate are all serving Turkish plates, a wide range of cakes and your usual café panini list against a varyingly elaborate…
Pancho Villa's
240 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AB
Pancho Villa’s likes to pride itself on catering for any celebration whether it be a romantic anniversary or a hen or stag party. Despite a smattering of stray sombreros there is a welcome lack of kitsch knick knacks or gimmicks; it’s clear that Pancho…
