If you are a fan of a very good steak and don't want to travel far from the flat Kyloe is the place to go. Delicious, Scottish beef, cooked to perfection makes this place one of my top picks.

BABA offers something a little bit different and I would highly recommend it. Inspired by flavours of the Levant, the dishes are designed to be shared, they are small plates that deliver big flavour! Authentic surroundings make you feel like you are in an Eastern Mediterranean restaurant. Great for lunch or dinner.

A trusty Italian which has been in Edinburgh for over 30 years. Great value for authentic, freshly cooked, Italian food. If you are needing a rest from the shops this is an ideal place to stop, offering a 3-course lunch menu for £7.45!! Don't be put off by the price. It is excellent!

Another one possibly not suited to vegetarians! Chop House is a great option for breakfast, where they serve up an incredible full Scottish breakfast; lunch, one of the best steak sandwiches I've had; or dinner for a delicious steak with very good sides.

Hands down the best Thai restaurant I have been to in Edinburgh! The Bangkok Duck is one of my top choices off their menu. I would definitely encourage anyone to go to Dusit if you fancy Thai cuisine.

You'll find this cool street-food style Italian just off the Royal Mile, it's one of my favourite places to go. I would recommend 'The Civerinos' pizza and their parmesan fries with truffle aioli are amazing, all washed down with a boozy slushy!

One of Tom Kitchin's restaurants in the Stockbridge area of Edinburgh. On the menu here you will find all the classics, fish & chips, steak pie, even sausage and mash, however, these pub food classics are taken to another level. Delicious and comforting food.
