Restuarants in Edinburgh - Scotland World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Edinburgh - Scotland Travel Guide http://goo.gl/AeX8IX Edinburgh's centre of gastronomic gravity has been shifting gradually north for several years and the historic port of Leith is now home to two of the city's four Michelin stars. Leith also has many good non-Michelin-starred restaurants, clustered around the Shore area and the Scottish Government building. Fans of fish and seafood, in particular, would be well advised to make the pilgrimage down Leith Walk. Of course there are still many good restaurants in the city centre and the New Town, as well as neighbourhood bistros in more out-of-the-way corners. The Edinburgh restaurants below have been classed into different price ranges: Expensive (over £45) Moderate (£30 to £44) Cheap (under £30) This is for a three-course meal per person, including half a bottle of wine and tax. A minimum of 10% tip is expected and is often added to the bill for larger groups. The Plumed Horse Price: Expensive As well as boasting a Michelin star, the Plumed Horse has three AA rosettes and won the CIS Restaurant of the Year award for 2010/11. Inventive dishes, beautifully executed, are the hallmark of chef/proprietor Tony Borthwick. The dining room is small and intimate, hung with paintings by local artists. The good-value midweek suppers offer a choice of meat or fish main courses, while a six-course set dinner menu is available at weekends. Address: 50-54 Henderson Street, Leith, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom The Honours Price: Expensive Following the success of his Michelin-starred Leith Shore eatery, chef Martin Wishart has opened a second Edinburgh restaurant in the New Town. The menu blends traditional, seasonal Scottish flavours with French-inspired cuisine, including a mouth-watering selection of seafood and steak, complimented by a good choice of wines from a 15-page list. If there's room, round off your meal with the house sundae special of home-made caramel and toffee ice-cream, honeycomb, caramalised banana and pecan nuts. Address: 58A North Castle Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Café Andaluz Price: Moderate This tapas bar on fashionable George Street is beautifully decorated in the southern Spanish style, with lots of tiles and blue-and-white ceramics. The tapas menu is wide-ranging, from an Andalucian salad of asparagus tips, artichoke and sunblushed tomatoes to grilled goat's cheese with Seville orange and chilli marmalade. Meat and fish main courses are also offered, as is a selection of paellas. The wine list, although exclusively Spanish, is extensive. Address: 77B George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Centotre Price: Moderate Impeccably prepared and presented Italian food is served in the beautiful surroundings of a converted New Town house. The menu includes classic Italian meat and fish dishes, a variety of interesting pasta sauces, excellent pizzas and home-made ice-cream. The owners source fresh produce directly from Scottish and Italian farmers. A pre-theatre set menu is also available. Address: 103 George Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Stac Polly Price: Moderate This small local chain has two branches, both offering modern Scottish dishes in attractive surroundings with tasteful tartan touches. The food is beautifully prepared and presented, while the staff are friendly and helpful. In season, the menu features Scottish game, such as venison and pheasant. Stac Polly's signature starter, filo pastry parcels of haggis with plum sauce, has many devotees, as does its extensive whisky list. Address: 29-33 Dublin Street, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom Urban Angel Price: Cheap The two city-centre branches of Urban Angel serve a mean brunch, plus healthy, light lunches and inexpensive dinners using mainly sustainable, organic ingredients. You can expect porridge or Arbroath smokies for breakfast, Mediterranean salads or falafel sandwiches at noon, and tapas dishes or haggis for supper. Make room for a sweet treat from the tasty selection of cakes and pastries.
