Fantastic for a date night, fresh food, great wine, romantic atmosphere and if you book ahead ask for the seat by the window and you will have a view of the castle. Time it just right (be there around 10:30/ 11pm) and you can watch the fireworks every night that go off every night from the military Tatoo.

My favourite neighbourhood! Lots of lovely coffee shops, gift shops and boutiques right next to The Meadows park. You can play mini golf on The Linksm at the meadows, go to the Golf Tavern to rent clubs and balls - just ask at the bar!
