Buffalo Grill

1.0 miles
12–14 Chapel Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9AY

Right in the heart of student land, Buffalo Grill has been thriving for 27 years serving up staple grill favourites of burgers, steaks and chicken wings. With so much success, this little restaurant with its cosy wood-panelled interior and mish-mash of…

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…

Mamma's American Pizza Company

1.3 miles
30 Grassmarket, Edinburgh, EH1 2JU

This Grassmarket stalwart seems to exert a gravitational pull on small to medium sized groups of both locals and tourists looking for an impromptu food stop. Starters like sweet potato fries and macho nachos are decent enough, but their function is to…

Hard Rock Café

1.3 miles
20 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 2PF

Some restaurants are all about the expectation game. Launched in London over 40 years ago, the Hard Rock has since exported its rather cookie cutter approach all over the world, but should you go in expecting generous portions of decent, if rather…

The New York Steam Packet

1.4 miles
31 Rose Street Lane North, Edinburgh, EH2 2NP

In a dark and dingy alleyway off Rose Street and up a spiral staircase, the New York Steam Packet is not the sort of place customers stumble across by accident. As a result it only opens during the week if it has bookings. Office parties from nearby…

Calistoga

1.5 miles
70 Rose Street North Lane, Edinburgh, EH2 3DX

Calistoga could be Edinburgh’s best restaurant for wine lovers. With one of the biggest selections of Californian wines in Europe and a mark-up policy that makes them affordable, it is not to be missed by oenophiles. The Congressional Wine Tasting…

TGI Friday's

1.6 miles
22–26 Castle Street, Edinburgh, EH2 3HT

Illegal Jack's

1.7 miles
113-117 Lothian Road, Edinburgh, EH3 9AN

If a multinational fast food outlet woke up in heaven cleansed of all sin, it might be a bit like Illegal Jack’s. A glance through the plate-glass windows fronting Lothian Road reveals a cavernous interior with rows of tables and a brightly lit service…

Gourmet Burger Kitchen

1.7 miles
137 George Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4JY

Good value basic meals are hard to find on Edinburgh’s upmarket George Street, so weary shoppers and Book Festival visitors may want to head to Gourmet Burger Kitchen at the Charlotte Square end – especially if they have a couple of kids in tow. This is…

Katie's Diner

1.7 miles
12 Barclay Terrace, Edinburgh, EH10 4HP

Behind the blinking neon sign, Katie’s Diner is the kind of hospitable family-run restaurant that every neighbourhood should have. Owners Geoff and Kate have been perfecting their game for the last 13 years, concentrating on doing a few things well and…

Wannaburger

1.8 miles
7–8 Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4PA

An unusual little venture aiming to create a quality fast-food outlet, Wannaburger is packed full of teenagers, students and people looking for a quick bite to eat. With burgers made on the premises, the fluffiest buns about, and a selection of quality…

Bell's Diner

1.8 miles
7 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, EH3 5AN

Now in its forty-first year, Bell’s Diner has an old-school charm and a resolutely lo-fi feel about it. Its red painted walls – hung with prints of Native American scenes – and simple wooden tables and chairs have remained unchanged for years, if not…

Diner 7

1.9 miles
7 Commercial Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6JA

Tucked in among the gastropubs and fish restaurants of The Shore, Diner 7 offers something a bit different – namely well-cooked and presented steaks and burgers in an easy-going and unpretentious low-lit diner. Snuggled up in a booth with a bottle of…

McKirdy's Steakhouse

1.9 miles
151 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EH3 8AG

In these days when food provenance is to the fore, McKirdy’s finds itself suddenly en vogue. It’s doing nothing new, of course, just continuing to offer red meat and haggis crafted by the family butcher. Here, they can tell you exactly where the meat…

Buffalo Grill

2.0 miles
1 Raeburn Place, Edinburgh, EH4 1HU

With a menu that has worked for 26 years, why change it? No reason, when you continue to pull in the crowds the way Buffalo Grill does. The Stockbridge restaurant, an offshoot of the original in the heart of Edinburgh’s student land, is cosy, warm…
