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... Read more about Bar Italia

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

Urban Angel

Urban Angel is the stuff date legends are made of. Even woman-repellers would do well here. Hidden behind an innocuous-looking sandwich shop front, the thrill of being seated is comparable to discovering some kind of secret candle-lit cove of pirate-booty (which in this case is pine nut aloo tikki a...

Papa John's

Fed up of Domino's and Pizza Hut? Then Papa John's is the place. Yes, it's based on an American chain as well, but it's great value and tastes good, with great service too.... Read more about Papa John's

The Arts Café

It's been a long trip. You pull into Waverley Station and breathe in the distinctive city pong of hot road surfaces and traffic fumes. Before you can utter that familiar Starbucks–shaped syllable you are greeted with a board showing takeaway coffee for a quid. Any self–respecting ca... Read more about The Arts Café

Broughton Deli

Situated off arch-trendy Broughton Street, this combined deli/café draws the eye with its bright red frontage. What keeps you coming back is the blend of high quality ingredients, generous staff and a cheerful atmosphere. Baguettes and crêpes, filled with anything from the well-stocked cou...

Mammas

Renowned for its weird and wonderful pizza toppings this is the ideal place to take odd, awkward or pregnant pals as you can order your pick of 54 diverse toppings for your giant Mamma's secret sauce covered base. So was that one cheese free banana and veggie pizza for your vegan friend and a c... Read more about Mammas
