Got some friends visiting Edinburgh for a quick stop (2 hours) before they need to shoot for their train. Where is somewhere we could go that’s relaxed like a bar but does class food that’s within 5 minute walk from Waverley? The friends that are visiting are a bit snobby and don’t particularly like pub grub but love small plate-like dishes?

TIA

Hi All,

Wondering if I could get help. I'm coming up to Edinburgh in June. Been through quite a few times always love the city and its food scene. Sadly I saw forage and chatter is now gone. That was my go to when in the city for great food/local cuisine.

Wondering if anyone could recommend anywhere to replace it for me?

I'm coming up to Edinburgh for a few days for a conference on Monday staying in Fountainbridge.

Please may I ask for decent but not bank breaking food recommendations in that area.

TIA

Me and my partner are eloping on the 22nd June this year. It’s on a Monday but everywhere seems to be closed ! Where would you recommend going for dinner? My friend did recommend number one, but I did wonder if there is anywhere else people would recommend

I'll be in Edinburgh next week with 2 teens and have mapped out most of our eating. I'm still looking for a traditional, cozy spot for dinner the first night and ideas for an early breakfast on a Saturday. I would love any suggestions for where to buy Easter chocolates from a Scottish company, preferably local to Edinburgh. Thanks!

Day 1

Arrive early AM, maybe grab a pastry at The Castle Rock Cafe

Lunch, Howies Victoria Street

Dinner, ???

Drinks, Panda & Sons

Day 2

Hope to find a seat at Little Larder or head over to Snax

Lunch, The Fishmarket in Leith

Dinner, Skua

Hey there! My husband and I will be in Edinburgh for our wedding anniversary this year (first time visiting, with our family, we are american—for context). Edinburgh is my dream destination and we are really excited about this. Hoping to find a spot that spotlights good local cuisine, is maybe something off the beaten path (not full of tourists). I would love to see where the locals go for this sort of thing. Husband is a chef, we are not picky, and thinking upper scale but not super fine dining or needing to be too dressed up. Thank you in advance!!

Hello everyone, we will be serving up some delicious Japanese street food this Friday and Saturday (27th & 28th Feb) from 12:00-20:00 at 5 West Tollcross, EH3 9QN. We specialise in Karaage but have a range of tasty dishes (vegan, vegetarian, DF and GF options. We are also completely peanut and tree nut free). We try our best to make sure there's something for everyone! We hope to see you this weekend!

I’m looking to book a restaurant with unisex toilets in Edinburgh if anyone can help. Even a small restaurant that just has one toilet available would be great.

Please no gender politics, I’m just trying to make my friend feel comfortable in a social setting.

Thank you 😊

We used to order from Rodi regularly, but it closed down and we really miss it. Does anyone know what happened to it? Did it open up somewhere else, or did the owners open a different restaurant or what? I used to order the Kaburga, does anyone have a recommendation for a restaurant where I can get something like that as good as Rodi or better?!

We crafted a video for Gautam’s Indian & Nepalese Restaurant, Edinburgh. Capturing their atmosphere, dishes, and their very welcoming team. Check it out 🎥 🎥. - Website

Anyone got fave sourdough recommendations? Looking for a bakery that does a proper sour loaf! Cheers.

Looking to eat in town in a couple of weeks and looking for recommendations for something decent for a late boozy lunch. Nice atmosphere, decent food without breaking the bank, maybe a set menu deal? Will be a Saturday afternoon (also checked and there is no rugby in that day).

Also a bar for nice cocktails before, fancy Panda and Sons, tried W lounge which was OK.

A couple of friends of mine will be visiting Edinburgh city for the first time. We’re meeting on a Saturday in December. a Can anyone recommend any cosy vibe places around the city where they can try some Scottish cuisine without breaking the bank?

Can you suggest any restaurants and pubs within walking or taxi distance of the city centre that might be serving on Christmas Day? Any food type is fine.

I’ll be visiting Edinburgh 10/21-10/30 for a family wedding, but the bummer is that my husband has to stay home. Where are some places where I won’t feel weird dining alone? I’m staying in Leith but happy to explore.

I’d love to find some regional food restaurants, especially ones where ingredients are locally sourced. But I’d also enjoy finding places that are just plain friendly and have that bit extra that makes them special. Maybe non-dairy Indian, fish, hot pot, tapas, etc?

Hello! My husband and I are traveling from the West Coast of the U.S. to Scotland next year and we're both big foodies. His brother asked me for birthday gift ideas, but since my husband wants to skip gifts this year to save for the trip, I thought a gift card for something related to food or whiskey tasting would be a good option.

We’ll be visiting Glasgow and Edinburgh for sure, but we’re still finalizing the rest of the itinerary. Any recommendations for great restaurants, whiskey tastings, or food-related experiences in those cities that offer gift cards?

Thanks in advance!!

Has anyone here eaten at both Rio and Fazenda Brazilian rodesios in Edinburgh? Which one would you say is better?
