Going out for dinner with some friends in Edinburgh in a few weeks, a fussy shower of bds. Just about the only thing they will all eat is steak.

So, where's the best place for a really good steak in the city centre? Budget not really an issue.

La Favorita on Leith Walk, had the best fillet steak I've had in years there last night. It's italian, but the food is sublime. smile

They only offer the fillet and it's about £20, but well worth it. biggrin

Get in a taxi and come tojust outside Linlithgow and go to the Champany if you want an amazing steak

Go to the chop and ale house rather than the restaurant unless it is a very special night and you have taken your second mortgage with you.

Agree with Champany - was there last week and it is as good as ever.

You won't be disappointed, check the reviews on tripadvisor.

Champany is 20 miles away from Edinburgh. Hardly city-centre. Steak houses as such are rare(!) but most proper places will have a 28-day aged steak from a named feckin cow on the menu. Try North Bridge Brasserie, Ondine, Cafe Royal, L'Escargot Bleu, Grain Store. ESI in Leith is the best steak I've had recently, not as plush as the above though.
