Edinburgh is often called 'The Rome of the North' partly for its architecture but mainly as it shares the 7 hills topology. This is the best place to see it all at once (unless the big wheel is up!)

Great choice for breakfast brunch or lunch! Absolutely beautiful decor, you could easily believe you're in a Parisian cafe. The menu is not so French, instead focussing on quality local produce.
