BRASSERIE PRINCE BY ALAIN ROUX

British restaurant €€

The Brasserie Prince is located within the walls of the superb Balmoral. Held by Alain Roux, a chef whose reputation is well established, he offers a marriage of French and English tradition. We recommend the exceptional haggis revisited here with a whiskey sauce and presented with the greatest care, for a culinary experience without equal. The less adventurous will also enjoy a selection that combines the traditions of both countries and highlights the richness of the Scottish soil.

Open - from 10h00 to 01h00

This Royal Mile gastro pub no longer has its reputation for whisky thanks to an impressive menu! You can even taste them four by four, with 14 different formulas to get started or to assert yourself. The food is also greeted and sourced locally, thanks to a menu that features several Scottish classics and burgers. The decoration displays molded woodwork and bottle displays, providing a cosy setting, enhanced by a little background music. In the evening, groups perform live every day of the week, in front of a regular and tourist clientele.

4.9/5
27 reviews
Open - from 12h00 to 22h30

The woodwork and candles give an undeniable charm to this bar-restaurant in Leith which comes alive on Tuesday and Thursday evenings with the presence of folk and jazz musicians. Chic without making a fuss, this is the address to go to for a good meal at a reasonable price in the area. You can enjoy beautiful meats and seafood - the establishment is renowned for its shellfish and fish - but some people just prefer to have a drink and enjoy the conviviality of the place. Book in the evening to make sure you have a table.

THE WITCHERY

British restaurant €€€
4.3/5
3 reviews

A few steps from the castle, a worrying crest announces the colour: The Witchery was the seat of Edinburgh's witchcraft in the 16th century. And whether you choose the main room or the Secret Garden, the esotericism oozes from the walls and the decoration hits the nail on the head. Today, magic works in the mouths and many people are curious and gourmet to hurry, especially in the evening, when dinner can be served until late. It is preferable to make a reservation. For a tighter budget or a sweet palate, think of the Afternoon teas and their share of delicacies!

Open - from 10h00 to 23h00

Adorable deep green front, wallpaper adorned with roses, comfortable lounge and so british porcelain trinkets, there is here a cosy decor and full of humour in its way of revisiting the aesthetics of grannies. Brunch is the house speciality, but she also concocts typical Scottish dishes and gourmet desserts. The bar side is more classic and fills up in the evening. To be tested: the "cocktail pots" for cocktails in a "pot" (teapot). The site regularly hosts exhibitions of local artists and creative craftsmen.

4.5/5
26 reviews
Open - from 17h00 to 23h00

The Timberyard was created by the Radford family in a completely renovated old warehouse, although elements of the past have been incorporated into the layout here and there. The result is eclectic and very convincing. We practice a "from farm to plate" strategy here, which means that we are sure of ultra fresh, local and quality! Evening menus are available in 4, 6 or 8 courses. Lunch is a 5-course or à la carte menu. Outside, the terrace provides the same surprising effect, with metal furniture and the bricks of the building at the back of the painting.

4.3/5

Open - from 10h00 to 00h00

Built in 1775 by James Craig at the same time as the rest of New Town, the Dome is a true neo-classical palace. First a college for physicists, then a bank, it is now a restaurant with three rooms, including a bar and a tea room. Marble columns, mosaics, crystal chandeliers and bouquets of flowers, everything is made to seduce and travel through time. Scottish gastronomy is traditional and not excessive, despite the lush pageantry. Ideal, therefore, to treat yourself to a good classic meal in a rare setting or just to drop in for a beer.
