Café at the Palace
Palace of Holyroodhouse,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DX
Situated next door to Holyrood Palace, this café is the obvious place to grab a sandwich or hearty bowl of soup after visiting the Queen’s Gallery and Palace, or after an invigorating trek round Arthur’s Seat or tour of the Scottish Parliament. With…
Nagoya Original Sushi Restaurant
21 Dalziel Place,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5TP
Based in a former and only slightly spruced up Malaysian restaurant out in the shadow of Meadowbank stadium, Nagoya Original Sushi Restaurant perhaps isn’t best placed to snare a brisk run in passing trade. In which case it’ll have to survive on word…
Xanadu Chinese Restaurant
13–14 Dalziel Place, Meadowbank,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5TP
This restaurant's Hong Kong husband and Malaysian wife team chose to name it after Kublai Khan’s summer palace, over a hundred miles north of Beijing. Edinburgh’s Xanadu is not quite inner Mongolia, but it is a bus ride from the city centre and the…
The Scottish Parliament
Horse Wynd, Holyrood,
Edinburgh,
EH99 1SP
Designed by Spanish architect Enric Miralles, who died before its completion in 2004, the Scottish Parliament building occupies an architecturally diverse corner of Edinburgh at the foot of the Royal Mile, with Dynamic Earth, the Queen’s Gallery and…
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…
The Kilderkin
67 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8BT
The team behind Leith Walk’s Windsor Buffet have, at the time of this guide going to press, been in charge of Jenny Ha’s for a month. It’s not the most inspiring of launches, and little seems to have been revamped décor-wise: it could still benefit…
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…
Foodies at Holyrood
67 Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AU
The Foodie Company is a gourmet food-box business that, well, thought outside the box. Their open-plan café/deli sells and serves the best of Scottish: Stoats porridge pots, sandwiches with bread from Edinburgh’s own Breadwinner, and Inverawe salmon…
The Regent Bar
2 Montrose Terrace,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5DL
Edinburgh's gay real ale pub. Relaxed and comfortable, The Regent is not the archetypal gay bar. It has been voted Edinburgh Pub Of The Year in both 2008 & 2010 by the Campaign for Real Ale.
Food is available all day until 10pm and dogs are…
Ricebox
28 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RG
The Easter Road and Leith Walk area of town is home to a growing number of top-quality takeaways and one of the first of these, Ricebox, is still going strong. It has a huge menu providing a variety of standard and unusual dishes alongside pak choi and…
The Manna House
22–24 Easter Road,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5RG
It’s hard to know where to start when stepping into Leith institution the Manna House. Are you here to take home one of the extensive range of cooked-on-the-premises breads and baps, including baguette, sourdough and black olive or feta and mint…
The Sheep Heid Inn
43–45 The Causeway, Duddingston,
Edinburgh,
EH15 3QA
The self-styled oldest pub in Edinburgh has seen a recent restoration that mixes well-worn rustic charm with a bit of pleasant but formulaic pastel makeover. A destination watering hole for a trek over Arthur's Seat, there's a refreshed menu of hearty…
The Engine Shed
19 St Leonards Lane,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9SD
Run by Garvald Community Enterprise (a charitable company that helps young people with learning difficulties gain skills in a real work environment, and supports them to move into mainstream, paid employment) the Engine Shed is a café and a 100…
The Canon's Gait
232 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8DQ
Located further down the Royal Mile than the plethora of bars and restaurants surrounding St Giles, the Canon’s Gait is a stone’s throw away from the Palace of Holyrood at the bottom. The gilt lettering and rich red exterior are difficult to miss, and…
The Auld Hoose
23–25 St Leonards Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QN
If the key to a successful pub is being different, the Auld Hoose is guaranteed to thrive. The bare wooden floors, neutral walls and central bar all point to an atmosphere that is repeated across the city – but, on closer inspection, this place differs…
Blonde
75 St Leonard's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9QR
Sunlit by summer’s day and candle-lit by winter’s night, Blonde’s stylish-but-plain premises can feel a little harsh with its hard surfaces and basic wooden chairs. However, this lack of luxury is quickly overshadowed when the comfort food arrives.
Bonsai Bar Bistro
46 West Richmond St,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DZ
Pruning. An under-rated skill, but in the world of tiny trees – as in Japanese restaurants – a vital one. Luckily they have it in spades at Bonsai, with a commendably focused menu that doesn’t try to cover too many bases. And, where they do go in for…
Pancho Villa's
240 Canongate,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AB
This restaurant’s claim to still be serving ‘revolutionary Mexican cuisine’ may be stretching the truth somewhat after 22 years in the business. Like the generalissimo himself, it's now part of the furniture, and resting on its laurels to a certain…
David Bann
56–58 St Mary's Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1SX
They say that once you reach the top the only way is down, but this is far from the case for David Bann who, for almost ten years, has been at the forefront of vegetarian dining in Edinburgh. There are no vegetarian clichés to be found here, only…
The Holyrood 9A
9a Holyrood Road,
Edinburgh,
EH8 8AE
The menu at this smart Old Town pub cuts to the chase with its mission statement of ‘Great beers, great burgers’. Six ounces of beef, in a sourdough bun, can be teamed up with toppings including smoky bacon, ‘death sauce’ or rosemary-scented wild…
