10 Edinburgh dining delights

GALVIN BRASSERIE DE LUXE

Sample £1 oysters during happy hour at this Parisian-style bistro at the Waldorf Astoria (aka the Caledonian Hotel).

THE DOME

Amazing burgers! You cannot book in advance, so turn up and enjoy a drink in the circular bar while you wait for a table.

VIRGIN LOUNGE

OK, it’s not strictly “dining” but Virgin Money account holders can enjoy a cuppa in its St Andrew’s Square lounge.

REDCOAT CAFÉ

Enjoy soups, sandwiches and some of the best views in Scotland from the grounds of Edinburgh Castle.

GIULIANO’S

Italian restaurant favoured by theatre-goers heading to The Playhouse. You may end up dining next to a star.

FORTH FLOOR

Fourth-floor (the clue’s in the name) restaurant above Harvey Nichols, offering amazing views and an outdoor seating area.

BABA

Sample one of Edinburgh’s newest restaurants which serves small sharing plates of char-grilled dishes.

MONTEITH’S

Located on the Royal Mile down a beautifully-lit walkway. A relaxing place to celebrate a special occasion.

THE PRINTING PRESS

Located at The Principal George Street, this restaurant gives a nod to the city’s literary heritage. Great food too!

LE MONDE

Dine either in the downstairs Sky Bar, or upstairs in the restaurant where plush crushed blue velvet décor awaits you.
