Oh this is getting silly now - I can't edit the thread title?

It should say "Somewhere" (not looking for a hooker biggrin) - So any thoughts?

Restaurant/bar with good food in central Edinburgh which is comfortable to eat at on your own as I'll be there alone on business?

Vittoria's - Italian it's about 10 minutes from Princes St; the food is fantastic and lots of small 'rooms' within the dining area so you shouldn't feel too self-conscious on your own.

Been a few years since I was last up there but if you wander down Dundas Street you will come to Kweilin on your right - ex-colleagues of mine who work further down the road used to swear by this place and it was good - though anything could have happened in the lastt 4 years.

I take it you mean night time but if you have time and it is a nice day. Sit in one of the starbucks on george street and do a bit of car spotting. There is always something interesting going along the road there.

Milnes on Rose street is good. General pub food menu but all done to a good quality. Sit down stairs there are more little alcoves to hide in.

The Albanach on the royal mile is good for food and also has a huge amount of whisky behind the bar.

Seconded the Cafe Royal. You can eat in the Bar and people watch.

Plenty of people up on there own with RBS & BOS and others that it is not uncommon.

Sorry, not up to date on 'Hooker etiquette' smile

Thanks for everyone's suggestions - I did wander down to Cafe Royal and it looked great, but sadly I was far from alone in that view and there wasn't a free seat in the place, so I actually ended up eating in my hotel bar!

If I'm there again though, I will make a point of going back.

Cheers.
