RESTAURANTS

Tanjore

Located at 8 Clerk Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH8 9HX

Known for Restaurant, Budget Friendly

Excellent family-run South Indian restaurant with decent prices. It’s BYOB so that helps the budget!

Whiski Rooms

Located at 7-9 N Bank St, Old Town, EH1 2LP

Known for Restaurant, Stunning Views, Touristy

A wee bit more expensive because it’s in the centre of town. Serves great traditional Scottish fare like mince &tatties and haggis. Great views across Edinburgh’s New Town.

Kings Wark

Located at 36 Shore, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH6 6

Known for Restaurant

Pub that does brilliant food, right in the heart of Leith. Good prices and a great base for a Leith pub-crawl!

Domenicos

Located at 30 Sandport Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH6 6EP

Known for Restaurant

Brilliant cosy little Italian restaurant in Leith. Best to book, even weeknights because it’s small and very popular – but worth the planning. They do a wine and pasta deal on Tuesdays and Wednesdays that’s great value, but really has a very affordable menu

Pizza Express

Located at 1 Deanhaugh Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH4 1LU

Known for Restaurant

You know what to expect when you go to a chain, and as Pizza chains go this is our favourite (there’s also one in Leith and another in town)

Nok’s Kitchen

Located at 8 Gloucester St, Edinburgh, EH3 6EG

Known for Restaurant

The best Thai food in Edinburgh (we think!). Lunch menu is amazing value, but great in the evening as well. It’s a 25 minute walk from home or a 10 minute drive.

In Touch

Located at Inverleith Ave, EH3 5PU

Known for Restaurant, Budget Friendly

Our local Indian retaurant is just a 10 minute walk from home and we love the food there. Reasonably priced

The Herringbone

Located at 2 S Trinity Rd, Edinburgh, Scotland, EH5 3NR

Known for Restaurant, Budget Friendly, Breakfast & Brunch

This new bar and restaurant is quickly becoming a favourite for locals and visitors alike. It’s a 13 minute walk from our house and serves good quality food, great beers, good atmosphere and reasonable priced.

Old Chain Pier

Located at 32 Trinity Crescent, Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh, EH5 3

Known for Restaurant, Stunning Views, Budget Friendly

The Old Chain Pier pub is a 20 minute walk from our house and serves wonderful Scottish and international food. Also does a nice range of real ales and serves prosecco by the glas on tap (one of Gillian’s favourites. It’s a nice walk down by the sea. Mid-range prices
