Just a 2 minute walk from the flat, Renroc is a small, family-run daytime coffee shop with outdoor seating and a menu of breakfast, lunch and cakes. Don't be fooled by the modest interior, there is plenty of seating downstairs in the old bread mill.

Specialises in seasonal cooking, the Gardener's Cottage stands out from the crowd for two reasons; the kitchen garden nestled beside one of Edinburgh’s busiest thoroughfares growing a variety of herbs, legumes, leaves and edible flowers. Secondly the dining room layout is a little different, no individual tables but long trestles where you sit shoulder to shoulder with other patrons. Not cheap, but a great experience.

(Closed 3 - 18 July for annual holidays) £45 per head. Aizle has no traditional menu instead diners are presented with a list of potential ingredients and asked to cross off any they don’t like. From this alone chef Stuart Ralston then creates your dinner! With no restrictions, the Aizle team has the freedom to utilise the best produce from local farms and suppliers and the adventurous customer benefits by knowing everything on their plate is at the height of its freshness and seasonality.

Drinks & Nightlife

Located in the heart of the historic Old Town, a stone’s throw from Edinburgh Castle, Cannonball House is a characterful three-storey eating and drinking experience which takes its name from the cannonball shot lodged in the wall facing the castle. The newly-opened Cannonball Bar is the perfect place to soak up the electric atmosphere of Edinburgh, with the great views of The Royal Mile. The bar offers a selection of over 120 of the finest malt whiskies, including the full Glengoyne and Tamdhu collections, and a contemporary menu of lunch meals and light bites.

Tucked down Advocate's Close in an old Victorian pump house, this stylish bar and restaurant focuses on local and seasonal produce, with more than a splash of whisky on the menu (over 200 in fact). Not a Whisky fan? Never fear, there's also an extensive seasonal cocktail menu and wide selection of craft beers on offer.

If you're looking for cocktails in Edinburgh, The Lucky Liquor Co points the way, literally - there's has a bright neon sign pointing to the entrance of this Queen Street bar. Lucky Liquor isn't afraid to push the boat out with its flavour combinations and presentation so if you're looking for cocktails with added "va-va-voom" this is the place for you. The menu changes regularly as well so new surprises often await.

Established in 1863, this is a truly stunning, traditional, vibrant pub located just at the east end of Princes Street. I would choose to eat there, but visit for a beer and take in the surroundings.

Visit the Edinburgh Gin Distillery to indulge both the mind and the palate in all things gin. Nestled in the heart of the city, beneath the stairs at 1a Rutland Place, in the dramatic shadow of Edinburgh Castle. From taking a tour or a guided tasting, to trying your hand at making your own, indulge yourself in the majesty and mystery of the beautiful botanical libations we call gin.

Everything Else

Just 20 minutes walk from Princes Street lie the tall, Victorian sandstone tenements of Bruntsfield. This busy district's many delis, wine merchants, gift shops and florists give it a real village vibe. Enjoy a leisurely lunch then stroll across the Meadows - a lush green space, right in the heart of the city. You can even get some golf in, as the Meadows boasts its own links (putting equipment can be hired). Staying with the golfing theme, relax after your game in the nearby Golf Tavern, which is reputedly built on the site of the oldest golf club in Scotland.

Lies beneath Thomas Telford's famous Dean Bridge and is a fascinating blend of old and new architecture. The area has a bit of a storybook feel to it with its quirky old buildings overlooking the Water of Leith and its bridges and winding pathways. Walk along the Water of Leith towards nearby Stockbridge and you'll come across St Bernard's Well with its faux temple. Or, if you head in the other direction, you’re just a short walk from the National Gallery of Modern Art and the Dean Gallery.

Leith has enjoyed a major redevelopment in the last few years. Its long maritime history is evident in the many fabulous seafood restaurants and the fact that the Royal Yacht Britannia - a five-star visitor attraction - is berthed alongside Ocean Terminal. Visit the new weekly market, which is held every Saturday, and find unusual antiques and fine foods.

The city's highest climb (250m) is in fact an extinct volcano. Follow any paths from Holyrood Park to take you to the top in around 30 minutes for stunning panoramas or take a gentle stroll or cycle around the one way road for a number of different views of the city. Parking is available near the Palace of Holyroodhouse and at all loch sides.
