Guidebook for Edinburgh
Food Scene
Service, food and interior setting all absolutely gorgeous! I reccomend booking as it can be busy. It's really well located for the Royal Mile if you wanted to see this area in the evening. Fabulous wine. A little on the pricier side so save for a special occasion, but you are on holiday so enjoy and you won't regret it!

Classic but well done scottish food. Cocktails are delicious and it's great for Friday and Saturday nights as the live music is fantastic. I hear their breakfast is fantastic too! Not too expensive either.
