three months pass...

Will be staying there for four days starting tomorrow. Any good recommendations for a nice bite to eat on Thurs or Fri? We're staying near the castle/Fountainbridge.

(Jupiter Art Land looks pretty neat but it's closed!)

The Gardener's Cottage has my favourite tasting menu in the city - https://www.thegardenerscottage.co/ - real local focus on ingredients.

Pizzeria 1926 - cheap but by far my favourite Edinburgh pizza joint - Neapolitan-style with excellent flavour combinations.

Pera - not quite haute cuisine but perfect if you're super hungry for delectable selections of Turkish food served by a gent.

I should note Pera is also BYOB with £2.50 corkage which may have influenced why I am so fond of it.

Ohh, Gardener's Cottage certainly looks the part! Jotted down these suggestions with some fierce, thanks all!

this place was great when I visited http://educatedflea.co.uk/

What a ridiculous clusterfuck of totally uncool jokers (jed_), Monday, 14 October 2019 21:09 (four years ago) link

Scran & Scallie, Gardener's Cottage and Educated Flea are all 1.5 miles away from my hotel, which is a pretty perfect walking distance to and fro if you ask me!

Had a great time. We ended up eating somewhere else, but we did stumble upon the Brauhaus, a small but cosy pub with a staggering selection of around 300 beers. Recommended!

Brauhaus looks great. Excellent to see some quality cider options on the list too.

For those in Edinburgh with kids, someone I know just wrote this, which could be a handy compendium of ideas, both well-known and otherwise : https://www.theguardian.com/travel/2019/oct/22/city-breaks-with-kids-edinburgh-family-trip-museum-beach
