RESTAURANTS

Tanjore

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

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.
