The Dogs
110 Hanover Street, EH2 1DR
Excellent centrally located restaurant which is handy for George Street. It does very nice British seasonal food which is very good value in a nice setting, with different little rooms making up the venue, and nice decor. It has an unpretentious, chilled bar downstairs, which is a great place to relax away from the crowds over a drink or two!
Spoon
6A Nicolson Street, EH8 9DH
First floor bistro restaurant near the Festival Theatre and the Pleasance which has a relaxed atmosphere and nice decor of mixed funky retro furniture. A good place for coffee and cake in the afternoon as well as lunch and dinner. It made the news recently for having squirrel on the menu!
Khushi's
10 Antigua Street, EH1 3NH
0131 558 1947
Edinburgh's oldest Indian restaurant (it opened in 1947) has had many different locations over the years and is currently based at the top of Leith Walk, opposite the Playhouse. It's good value, delicious Indian food and has the added bonus of being BYOB which makes for an even cheaper night out.
Chop Chop
248 Morrison Street, EH3 8DT
Dumpling restaurant near Haymarket Station which does a wide range of boiled and fried dumplings as well as other dishes. The lunch set menu is very good value but the main menu offers much more variety and a better range of tasty dishes.
Hendersons
94 Hanover Street, EH2 1DR
An Edinburgh institution which is a vegetarian canteen style cafe and also has a more formal bistro round the corner. Its central location off George Street makes it an excellent place to fill up on quick, delicious and very reasonably priced vegetarian food all day and in the evening – great for when you feel like you've had one too many Festival junk food meals and to replace lost energy & vitamins!!
