This is the original hidden gem of Edinburgh. It seems to be closed in the evenings and is literally hidden away down a lane, but it's the best food around thanks to the top chefs working there.

Spectacular building. It's actually better for coffee/ early lunch. The bar is ok if you order a gin and tonic but the beers are limited. Basically it's not as posh as it looks, but looks amazing!

Drinks & Nightlife

I love this bar, it has no commercial booze on sale but it's not trying to be too hipster. Just tasteful and trendy, confident in the quality of the range of beers on offer. Good breakfasts too.

If you go early morning there is a breakfast bar and at lunch time a take away canteen. Honestly the best wholesome food in the town centre, and cheap. The butchers itself is upmarket and posh.

There's no city centre late night takeaways apart from one hellish chip shop on Rose Street. I like Pizza Paradise if I'm on a night out!
