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

Most Popular

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

You Might Also Like

The Mussel Inn

If you were expecting a tavern staffed by fishermen you'll be sorely disappointed, but seafood lovers need look no further. The menu may look a bit bare: it's mussels, scallops, or oysters here, but with styles ranging from Scottish to pan-Asian there are enough options to tickle anyone&ap...

The Mosque

Through an inconspicuous archway on West Nicolson, a bevy of cooks are standing over huge vats of curry and rice, providing lunches to the impoverished students of Edinburgh. Well, to the ones that don't own castles. Open seven days a week, and with meals for well under a fiver, The Mosque Kitc... Read more about The Mosque

Ruan Mai

Thailand is famous for its sex industry, its beaches and its food. Now unless you're very lucky or on hallucinogenic drugs you won't get the first two at Ruan Mai, but if you're after good food they can certainly accommodate. Within staggering distance of the Rose Street pubs it'... Read more about Ruan Mai

Coyaba

Not many people can say they've tried Jamaican and Rastafarian cuisine, but they bloody well ought to. Coyaba caters for a gastronomic niche that's pretty small (hence it being the only Jamaican restaurant in Scotland), but by Jah it's good. By no means a cheap restaurant, it's s...

Monster Mash

How many things can you do with a sausage, potato and gravy? Wait, don't answer that. Instead, let the whole delicious and hearty menu at Monster Mash do it for you. Vegetarian options and non–sausage dishes are available for those unimpressed with a nine–inch bratwurst (behave) on ... Read more about Monster Mash
