Where is good to go in Edinburgh for food? Tired of going to places like Nando’s, F&B’s, TGI’s etc...

Thanks :-)

There’s a long thread called recent restaurant reviews in the dug out which is worth a look! My favourites just now are:

El Cartel
Chop House Leith
The Ivy (I was actually surprised by how good i thought it was)
Dishoom
Vapiano is good and fairly reasonably priced aswell

Ting Thai Caravan, and it's sister restaurant Saboteur (I love Ting Thai, but have gone to Saboteur instead the last 3 times I've been up that way, I prefer it)

Ting Thai Caravan (went there yesterday), Restaurant Mark Greenaway (fine dining, my brother works there) and the Mosque Kitchen (for a curry - they are simply amazing. Went there after taking Shahada yesterday).

Yeah they are.

Saboteur does this fried sea bass dish, it’s so good.

Roy Brett's new place at Newhaven "The fish market" opened today. Tried it at lunch very good.

Have you tried Absolute Thai at tollcross? Most authentic i have found in Edinburgh.

Generally agree although the breakfasts at F&B are tremendous.

Not the best outside of breakfast time though.

Interesting menu. £16.50 main course price in Tollcross. How times have changed.

As an aside, I used to think that take away prices were cheaper than sit in but not any longer it seems.

Any thoughts?

I haven't, but I'll check it out. Thanks.

Nok's Kitchen in Stockbridge is another very good Thai place in Edinburgh.
