Scottish fine dining at, well, its finest. Outstanding food by the chef formerly at Norn. Set menu evening meals at surprisingly reasonable prices, and à la carte lunch menu. We rate this place higher than several other much touted (and often more expensive) set menu restaurants in Edi. Bonus: just around the corner!

While Edinburgh isn't exactly famous for its Korean food, this is one of the better Korean restaurants in the city. Their japchae and, of course, BBQ options definitely beat the local competition.

If you're craving ramen, head here --there's also a branch closer to our place, at the top of Leith Walk. We think their tonkotsu ramen is the best, with burnt shoyu a close second. Salmon & miso also good for non meat eaters.
