GoOutIn Edinburgh Recommends
Iggs Restuarant
If you want classy, but un-intimidating, 'Iggs' is the restaurant for you. The innovative menu offers up classic Spanish tapas, re-interpreted with cunning little twists. We enjoyed delicious Presa Iberica – Iberico pork and caramelized belly, but for fish fans, seafood stew a Read more about Iggs Restuarant
Two Thin Laddies
Two thin laddies... entered this café and weren't thin for long. Perhaps one of them was Black Books star Dylan Moran – he has been known to linger over a meal here. Who could resist the home-cooked lovelies on offer? Classic dishes rule the roost; pasta bakes, quiche, macaroni chee Read more about Two Thin Laddies
Haldanes
Crouching beneath the Albany Hotel, Haldanes continues the luxurious hotel vibe; think boudoir sophistication with Frank Sinatra crooning in the background - odd but successful. Food is excellent, courses are beautifully presented pieces of art: parcelled, drizzled and balanced to perfection. A crab Read more about Haldanes

Chocolate Soup
This is surely the closest one can get to Willy Wonka's famous establishment and there's certainly enough confectionary here to turn you into an Augustus Gloop. There are puritanical alternatives, including bowls of hot porridge and a range of fresh coffees, but only hardened chocoholics s... Read more about Chocolate Soup
Guiliano's on the Shore
All the Italian favourites are at Guilianos on the Shore from pizza and pasta, to waiters that could double as the Super Mario Brothers. The traditional food's freshly cooked and there's a wine list as long as the Water of Leith. There's even live accordion music Mon–Wed nights,... Read more about Guiliano's on the Shore
Bar Italia
This centrally located Italian joint is consistently busy, noisy and full of energy, and so it should be. The food is fresh, tasty and cheap and if you rock up with twenty mates they won't even bat an eyelid. As such it's perfect for birthday celebrations with plenty of banter and enthusia...

Native State
GoOutIn wishes 'Avoid like syphilis' would suffice as a review, but we're afraid that might leave a lot of you feeling angry and shortchanged. You should probably channel your rage towards this abysmal establishment though – it's dark, uncomfortable, and full of students who ... Read more about Native State
Buffalo Grill
Lusting for a hunk of grilled beef? We thought so. Wild West décor and wafts of Aberdeen Angus beckon diners through the doors of Buffalo Grill. The wood-panelled dining room is the perfect place to ponder which juicy steak or massive burger to order. Prawns or homemade salsa as a starter wil... Read more about Buffalo Grill

The Tower
Sounds kind of mystical doesn't it? Like a fairytale or something. Well eating at The Tower might remain a fantasy to some forever and ever, as most of us would have to sell organs on the black market to be able to afford it. Having said that, for those that can, The Tower provides not only exc... Read more about The Tower
Beluga Canteen Restaurant (closed)
Upstairs from the style bar of the same name, the Beluga Canteen offers an equally slick chrome and glass setting in which to sample some fantastic food. From the exotic Hoi Sin duck with Thai vegetables and spicy mash to the classic grilled halibut with spinach and mash in a sweet peppered sauce th...

Costa Coffee
Pricey coffee chain, good cakes though.... Read more about Costa Coffee
Calistoga
The great thing about California is that Arnie's in charge - perhaps at some point soon his political career'll go the way of his acting one, run out of ideas and spur lots of rehashes of the same old policy ideas. Still, while this restaurant's Californian, it has no resemblance to A... Read more about Calistoga
Bookstop Cafe
A mixture of books, coffee and a chilled out attitude.... Read more about Bookstop Cafe
