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.

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
