Hi,

Looking for a bit of advice, need the girlfriend to a restaurant in Edinburgh on thursday and as I havn't had a decent meal cooked by someone else in ages, was hoping someone could reccomend somewhere. Preferably not too "dressy" and a budget of £100-£150 for both of us,
Not too fussed what they serve aslong as it's good,
Fire away chaps!

Cheers

They all look rather tasty, anyone got any ideas for anywhere a bit more upmarket?

The Witchery. I was there on Saturday and it was pretty damn good.

Cafe Marlayne is excellent.

Wedgewood is nice

The Honours is great http://www.thehonours.co.uk/ posh but not stuffy

North bridge brasserie is very impressive inside

Ondine for the hot seafood platter mmmm

If the weather holds out you could do The Tower for the views but the food isn't as good as the others

Browns on George Street is really nice and not quite as formal as Wedgewood.

The Grain Store on Victoria Street is nice if a little pretentious.

I keep hearing good things about Howies restaurant on Waterloo place.
Also I found a 20% of ticket in Sainsburys for Howies.

Number 1 restaurant at The Balmoral. A cheese board to die for!

Anyone eaten at Angels and Bagpipes on the Royal Mile? Quite fancy the sound of it.

No recommendations for Rhubarb ?

I went there a few years ago and the food was really good.

We're moving to Edinburgh soon so I'll keep my eye on this thread, thanks OP.

I went to The Kitchin for my birthday a few years ago, was very good. It'll probably be a little over your budget if you plan on a bottle of wine with the meal, but if you only have soft / small drinks then it might come under £150. I liked it anyway!

What about Vittorias on Leith St ...... not as fancy as some of the others mentioned but excellent food.

If it's good enough for someone that's played for Monaco and in the EPL ...

Get yourself into Tom Kitchin's for cheapo lunch (if they still do it).

Martin Wishart in Leith is always amazing...and pricey. Tower is poor food but cool scene if you are into that. Kitchin is on my list for this summer.
