BABA

We have been here several times. Middle Eastern flair, amazing cocktails, beautiful food with amazing taste, a place to indulge and discover new things

BABA · 130 George St, Edinburgh EH2 4JZ, Verenigd Koninkrijk

Bread Street Kitchen & Bar by Gordon Ramsay

We have been here several times, amazing industrial-chic vibe with open kitchen, amazing cocktails and generous servings

Bread Street Kitchen & Bar - Edinburgh · 4 St Andrew Square, Edinburgh EH2 2BD, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★☆ · Brits restaurant

L'Alba D'Oro

We went once after reading an Anthony Bourdain recommendation. We were the first customers one day at 5PM, we saw the oil was fresh before frying our cod

L’Alba D’Oro · 7 Henderson Row, Edinburgh EH3 5DH, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★☆ · Fish-and-chipstakeaway

Oink

We went here once after going by its window several times while sightseeing and seeing that the roast pig was vanishing by the minute. Great to order your shredded pork sandwich here and then head to Calton Hill for an impromptu picnic

Ondine

We went here and cannot wait to go back. Stunning seafood place, with the freshest ingredients. The fish soup is just another dimension.

The Club Room at The Dome

We went once for breakfast, old school service with exquisite attention to detail

The Colonnades at The Signet Library

We went once and this is where we got engaged! So its festive afternoon tea will always be on our minds. This place is stunning and historical, service is superb and it is just magical to eat surrounded by books!

The Colonnades at the Signet Library · The Signet Library, Parliament Square, Edinburgh EH1 1RF, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★★ · Theehuis

The Devil's Advocate

We went once and without booking. We were just walking down the Advocate's Close and saw the restaurant and its chiaroscuro vibe. The food from the daily menu was just superb, one of our best meals in the city

The Devil’s Advocate · 9 Advocate’s Cl, Edinburgh EH1 1ND, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★★ · Gastropub

The Edinburgh Larder

We went once for breakfast, food is good and servings are generous. But it is a small space so there might be a queue outside to get in

The Edinburgh Larder · 15 Blackfriars St, Edinburgh EH1 1NB, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★★ · Koffiehuis

The Kitchin

We went to The Kitchin in Leith twice (and even met Chef Tom Kitchin on our second visit, we were so starstruck!) and it is one of our favourite restaurants in the world. Not because it is Michelin-starred, but because the attention to detail is out of this world, the food really honours Scotland's best and is just stunning. I wouldn't mind going for a 3rd time!

The Kitchin · 78, Commercial Quay, Leith, Edinburgh EH6 6LX, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★★ · Haute-cuisinerestaurant

The Queens Arms

We went once. You want the vibrant pub vibe at close of business, with a library flair? This is the place for you. The food servings are the most generous in the land!

The Queens Arms · 49 Frederick St, Edinburgh EH2 1EP, Verenigd Koninkrijk
★★★★☆ · Sportcafé

We have been to more restaurants in Edinburgh as we have been in the city several times now but not all have made it to this list. Only the best for us are aforementioned and we will let you know if we update in a future visit :)
