Inspired by the Nando's thread, I was wondering where everyone enjoys a nice meal out in Edinburgh. I'll kick us off with a couple:
Shebeen: South African restaurant on Morrison street Does an absolutely fantastic steak. Absolutely huge. Would thoroughly recommend for anyone who enjoys a good steak, and a good sized portion.
Chaophraya: Thai restaurant just off George Street. I've only actually been there once but I (and everyone else really enjoyed our meal). Tempura prawns, Sirloin steak and then deep fried ice cream. One of those restaurants where it took ages to decide what to have because there was simply so much on offer that all looked really good.

La Garigue on Jeffery st is excellent for some wholesome French cuisine.
Westwood on Royal Mile is nice for a romantic meal. Outstanding quality, never been given michelan star but the standard isn't far off in my opinion.
One of my favourite restaurants used to be Tijuana Yacht Club until the owner died suddenly and they sold and it become 'The Dogs'. Edinburgh has a dearth of good Mexican eateries and the hole left by TYC has never been filled.

What defines a Michelin star restaurant for you?

Tried St Johns Curry Club for takeaway a couple of times though and been disappointed both times. Would much rather have a Delta.

Al Dente the Italian restaurant without pizzas on Easter Road.
The owner goes a long way to acquire real Italian ingredients to go into his authentic Italian dishes. Bit of an enthusiastic blether too! Loves talking about the food, the menus, the wine, the regions they all come from.Space to let

When it comes to restaurants I always think it really depends what you are looking for. For simple(ish) food done well I like The Dogs on Hanover Street and Tom Kitchins new pub in Stockbridge The Scran and Scallie. I also like The Honours on Castle Street and Hadrians at Thr Balmoral.
For something a bit different I like 21212 and The Gardners Cottage. If I'm going to spend a bit then the tasting menus at both Martin Wishart and Mark Greenaway are excellent.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

La petite folie, best duck I have ever had. The scallops were very good also
I love vittorias, must have had 90% of the menue and never felt dissapointed
Kushis indian, not the imposter opposite the playhouse but the one down broughton street. Love it.
And as I dont eat Chinese much I cant say its the best, but the one I always go to is skyway on easter road. Lemon chicken with curry sauce ir shreded honey chilli chicken/beef abd salt n chili chickeb are all decent

New restaurant opened called 'Fish', sister restaurant of 'Steak' in Picardy Place (both in same premises)
Lovely stuff, more of a steak man myself but can't fault Fish at all.
