The all-day restaurant at Gleneagles Townhouse on St Andrew Square, running from breakfast through to evening cocktails. Really beautiful and grand interiors.

Neil Forbes's bistro down a lane off Thistle Street, with a daily-changing menu built on Scottish produce. Very good simple food in a lovely setting.
Address: 34 Thistle Street North West Lane, Edinburgh EH2 1EA, United Kingdom
Roberta Hall-McCarron's all-day café, bar and bottle shop on Bonnington Road in Leith, from the team behind The Little Chartroom. My favourite meal in Edinburgh. Really enjoyed the food, especially the mussels.
Address: 10-12 Bonnington Road, Edinburgh EH6 5JD, United Kingdom
A grand Victorian bar and oyster restaurant off Princes Street, known for its tilework as much as its seafood. Felt like a traditional pub but had decent food.
