This is definitely not the cheapest but it certainly is creative. It is really hidden - you wouldn't know it was there so common knowledge definitely helpful. Creative cocktails and menu. Pre-booking recommended.

Great restaurant on the Royal Mile. We have only ever been at lunchtime as they have a fantastic set menu. Off piste and it can start to get a little pricey. Food has always been excellent. NOTE: suggest pre-booking in peak periods. If you are having a romantic meal, there is a little table for two overlooking the close but we have yet to be organised enough to book in advance.

A firm favourite! We love this place which has a terrific menu plan or a la carte. We normally go for the 3 course menu and are never disappointed. It is advised to book ahead. Bon appetite!

Decent Scottish food. We also really like Table 17 which only seats two on wooden booth seats but we love the view of the dining room. If its haggis, neeps and tatties you are after, its quite yummy.

This is a trendy and normally very busy Cafe. We love it when we want breakfast out. They also have vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free options and is definitely one of the healthier picks if that's what you're after. They are not known for speedy service so you might need to allow time.

Vegan/Vetetarian dining - we went with friends who have a vegan daughter and, not being vegans ourselves, we thought it was great. They had live jazz music the night we were there. It's not fancy (self service) but the food was excellent and it had a relaxed atmosphere. I had guests who initially told me about it as they were vegetarian and we were very happy with their recommendation.

Very trendy place, great service and great food! They have a lunchtime menu that ends about 4ish (best to check in advance) where you will find a less expensive menu. It does get busy so reservations recommended.

This is a definite upmarket bar and a restaurant. It's worth a visit as it really is a beautiful building and if you are here in December, definitely worth visiting - even if just for a cocktail or something from the bar. We have eaten here once and the food was quite good. Booking advised.

This could be under a few headings. You can reserve to go to a dinner/Ceilidh evening in the great hall upstairs or you can enjoy the restaurant downstairs. Both offer lively atmosphere which are great fun. Definitely worth checking out but booking in advance is advised.

How wonderful to pay a visit to your neighbour to complete your trip. We just recommend comfortable walking shoes and dressing in layers if it is cold, wet or windy as it is a big castle and you will also want to be outside enjoying the amazing views. Lady's Lodge looks up to the oldest part of the castle.
