Drinks & Nightlife

Somehow they always get the music to fit my mood here. Cosy and quiet by day, a young professional crowd at night. The food is good.

Genuine local cafe run by Sicilians who make, in my view, the best machiato and most delicious panini in Edinburgh (cappuccino not quite so great). No airs and graces here, take it as you find it!

Look this isn't gourmet but if you need something satisfying and inexpensive, you can't go wrong. My favourite filling is vegetarian haggis.

Of all the fast food joints, I reckon Pret is among the best. Good quality, fresh and tasty sandwiches and wraps to eat in or take away. And the flat white is pretty good too.

A hot favourite of ours, and you can walk there along the lovely Water of Leith for most of the way. The cafe is good too.

Right by Holyrood Palace, where the Queen stays when she is in Edinburgh, this gallery puts on fascinating shows from her collection. Well worth the ticket price, in my experience.

Sightseeing

Enchanting and beautiful, the RBG is favourite Edinburgh destination. Apart from taking a stroll and drinking in the atmosphere there's lots to do - exhibitions, cafes and even shopping.

It might seem the obvious thing to do, but it's worth it. For the views over the city apart from anything else.
