Food Scene

Very good, locally sourced & seasonal food. Lunch is good & dinner is great -a tasting menu & option to take matching wines. Long shared tables, so cosy you're with other people - not the place if you want to keep yourself to your self! Great Service. Book ahead!

About 30 mins walk from my apartment. The chef/owner here is quite grumpy/mad(!), but the food is very good, and the lunch menu is very reasonably priced.

25 mins walk from the apartment & really good! Great food, great concept - they have no menu. Instead you get a list of what they've sourced on the day ...& how that translates in to a meal is amazing! Give it a go!... (book in advance!)

Great traditional pub with really nice hearty food. An open fire for the cold winter nights and a lovely aspect outside next to the river for the summer evenings! Also has regular live jazz nights -worth the trip out to the trendy "up and coming" Leith, which is worth a visit anyway if you want to see where a lot of people are moving to in Edinburgh now.

Parks & Nature

Not to be missed -this is like a slice of the Scottish countryside in the middle of the city! Walk up the Salisbury Craggs or the top of Arthurs seat and admire the great views of the city and sea ...keep walking and have a well deserved pint in the cosy ancient Sheep's Heid pub!
