The Baked Potato Shop
56 Cockburn Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1PB
Tucked in at the top of Cockburn Street just off the madness of the Royal Mile, this tiny shop is something of an Edinburgh institution. This isn't just any baked potato shop: this is the baked potato shop, taking the humble spud and giving it a series…
Barioja
19 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
As the younger, funkier sibling to Iggs restaurant next door, Barioja serves traditional tapas in relaxed, style-bar surroundings. With large picture windows overlooking Calton Hill, their promise to bring you 'Spanish sunshine, whatever the weather…

EH2 4PF
Scotland
Selection of cool house nights. See
listings for details.
Centraal
32 West Nicholson Street, Southside,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9DD
West Nicolson Street is probably the classic student haunt of Edinburgh with its grungy but independent-minded array of shops, sandwich bars, pubs and cheaper eateries. Centraal bar and restaurant tucks itself away at the bottom of a steep staircase…
Edinburgh Castle
Royal Mile,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2NA
Scotland
Although much of the castle's medieval character was lost when it was converted into barracks in the 19th century, continuing excavations aim to redress this. Other attractions include James IV's famous cannon, Mons Meg, the One O'Clock Gun with its own…
The Forest
3 Bristo Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EY
Rather like Doctor Who's Tardis, The Forest café's exterior gives no hint of the space to be found within. The large back room is a real jumble, full of comfy sofas, mismatched tables and chairs, and a worn game of Pictionary perching haphazardly atop a…
Grape
The Capital Building, 13 St Andrew Square, New Town,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2BH
Grape is located in a beautiful, high-ceilinged building and well situated at the east end of George Street for a break from shopping or a swift drink after work. The room is divided into two spacious bar areas (largely to accommodate the office crowd…
Izzi
119 Lothian Road,
Edinburgh,
EH3 9AN
With its wall of glass facing onto Lothian Road, selection of gelatinous permanent display dishes in the window, and slick modern interior with open serving area featuring a teppanyaki bar, Izzi has a fairly distinctive presence on the Edinburgh dining…
Mariachi
7 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2HE
Mariachi has all the hallmarks of an archetypal Mexican restaurant. The Latin music is upbeat, the décor is loud and the tequila is strong, and, despite having capacity for up to 160 revellers, there's still plenty of space for conga lines and dancing…
The New York Steam Packet
31 Rose Street Lane North,
Edinburgh,
EH2 2NP
The New York Steam Packet is secreted up an alley off Rose Street that, fittingly, looks like an abandoned set from West Side Story. A tight spiral staircase leads to a wood-panelled, cabin-like room bedecked in seductive art deco posters for…
Nile Valley
6 Chapel Street,
Edinburgh,
EH8 9AY
As Edinburgh's only Sudanese restaurant, Nile Valley should be carving out a niche as a refreshingly different destination for diners from across the city. Unassuming and clearly not given to shouting about itself, however, this small, cosy…
Tower Restaurant
Museum of Scotland, Chambers Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1JF
In the running for Edinburgh's best-located restaurant, the Tower is on the top floor of the Museum of Scotland and has spectacular views of the castle. With a lovely big terrace at the back, this place is packed at lunchtime in summer and is equally…
Vittoria
113 Brunswick Street, Leith Walk,
Edinburgh,
EH7 5HR
Professional waiting staff, the babble of Italian voices and food that remains loyal to its roots – close your eyes and it could be Lucca rather than Leith. Vittoria on the Walk has become an Edinburgh institution over the last four decades and now, for…
Basement Bar
10a–12a Broughton Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 3RH
Situated below busy Broughton Street, The Basement is a lively little bistro where staff dressed in Hawaiian shirts often greet you at the door. Inside, tall gothic candles and 80s retro décor set the tone of fun, casual dining. The menu, which changes…
8b Abercromby Place,
Edinburgh,
EH3 6LB
Eating at Bellini, with its grand, welcoming dining room complete with chandeliers, candle-light and background opera music, is an experience to be savoured. This New Town gem is no place for a quick, cheap meal, so settle in and soak up the sumptuous…

One of the city¹s most enduring gay clubs, with hi-NRG tracks every night of the week.
Chiang Mai
15 Dalry Road, Haymarket,
Edinburgh,
EH11 2BQ
With the hectic activity of Haymarket just outside the window, Chiang Mai has long been a welcome haven of South East Asian calm for locals, commuters and rugby fans alike. Watched over by portraits of the Thai royal family, the lofty restaurant is…
The Elephant House
21 George IV Bridge,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1EN
This café – all elephants and Potter – attracts all sorts, including students and tourists who buy the Elephant House baseball caps and take the 'Harry Potter was born here' signals literally. The large, bright room in the back of the café, revered by…
Favorit
19–20 Teviot Place,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QZ
Favorit is a late night diner for the young and hip and – most importantly – for those with the munchies. Black and white chequered tiles, retro tables and benches and a large, red neon Favorit sign set the scene. All that's missing is Pulp Fiction's…
The Grain Store
30 Victoria Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2JW
Overlooking one of Edinburgh's most attractive streets, the Grain Store is a capital institution, and has been under the stewardship of chef Carlo Coxon and manager Paul MacPhail for more than 15 years. A warm greeting awaits you after the climb up from…
Iggs
15 Jeffrey Street,
Edinburgh,
EH1 1DR
Now approaching its 20th year, Iggs has become a byword for quality and consistency in Edinburgh's fickle restaurant scene. Where previously the menu meandered from classical Spanish to Scottish fusion, recently it has been reinvigorated by a focus on…
Namaste Kathmandu
17–19 Forrest Road,
Edinburgh,
EH1 2QH
In a city with no shortage of Indian restaurants, it would be easy for a new kid on the block to blend into the crowd. Namaste, however, is a very welcome addition to the Edinburgh scene. Combing elements of Indian and Nepalese cuisine, the menu here…
Porto & Fi
47 Newhaven Mainstreet,
Edinburgh,
EH6 4NQ
This deli/bistro, which opened this year in Newhaven, adds its name to the growing list of elegant suburban restaurants in this neck of the woods. In a bright, well-lit room stencilled with green leaves, diners take in spectacular views across the Firth…
