Dunno if it's the sort of thing you'd be interested in, but the Taste of Edinburgh (http://www.channel4.com/life/microsites/T/taste2008/events/edinburgh/index.html) festival is on in the Meadows this weekend.

Really liked Empire, a Turkish restaurant in St mary's street. Good food, reasonable price (BYOB) and a great atmosphere - especially the belly dancer.

Khushies on Victoria Street. Excellent place to go. BYOB. Very lively place and most importantly of all, the food is outstanding.

Have you been lately?

Been dissappointed with the food the last couple of times. Might have been unlucky but nowhere near as good as before.

[alex plode]

Treat her to the Balmoral No1 :thumbsup:
or on a lesser budget - Blonde @ St. Leonards is always good.

[Sylar]

Fan of Thai food?

Spirit of Thai across from the Lyceum - was there on Tuesday and it's flawless! Great food, lightning quick service and a very intimate atmosphere.

[derekHFC]

Are there any places in Leith that do a BYOB now?

Few of us looking to go out next Saturday night. We were talking about going to Khushies, but we wanted something a bit nearer to home.

If you want something special, try Heights Restaurant at the Apex Hotel in the Grassmarket. It's a la carte food, so, not heaped plates BUT good food...! You can have the fixed menu at £22 for a three course and if you are trying to impress your other half, it over looks the castle. Never had a bad meal yet.:yum yum:

[capitals_finest]

There is a lovely wee thai restaurant on Howe st near stockbridge. Quite expensive but the food is bang on and the people that work in there are so nice you just want to cuddle them... even the wee thai men :thumbsup:.

[Scouse Hibee]

Pompadour at the Caley Hotel.

[hibee_boy]

expensive, but i had the best steak ive ever eaten in Tiger Lily last week. outstanding.

[Dashing Bob S]

Yes, No1 is always an enjoyable treat, Alex. Haven't been to Blonde yet but will give it a try.

[sauzee=legend]

Mai Thai on Holyrood road is really good, been there twice in the last 2 weeks.:thumbsup:

http://www.amber-restaurant.co.uk/ at the whisky experience - right next to the witchery - I was there last weekend and it was magic. No cheap mind.

I use this to source restaurants:

http://www.list.co.uk/eating-and-drinking/ - their hitlisted stuff is almost always very good.

I concur, went last year and it was extremely enjoyable...spent a wee bit though :cool2:

I wasn't that impressed with Tiger Lilly when I was there a couple of weeks back.

Much prefer the Lemongrass at Bruntsfield, if you like Thai - it's sublime.

The other place I like is Stac Polly on Dublin Street - there's another on Grindlay Street but I haven't been in that one yet.

[Hibbyradge]

Because of The List recommendations, I ended up going to The New York Steam Packet.

Quirky and cheap and cheerful. :thumbsup:

The Balmoral is next on my list.

Thanks everyone.

The only thing I would add to that is don't let your wife/girlfriend see it otherwise you'll never be away from expensive restaurants.

The only thing I would add to that is don't let your wife/girlfriend see it otherwise you'll never be away from expensive restaurants.Aye true ..:greengrin..thing is we dont go out very often & when we do it tends to be the same places ..ok nice, but a bit repetitive ... would be good to try somewhere else...just for a change ...:greengrin

[LustForLeith]

Anyone had food at The Vodoo Lounge yet? Quite fancy it, thougth I'd get opinin first.

[shaun]

Mccowans Bar at fountain park was in there on friday very nice food :thumbsup:

always thought that looked like a big weatherspoons. If you're going to do big franchise food you might as well walk another 50 yards and get some ribs at Old Orleans :greengrin

[H18sry]

Kubla Khans Is worth a try

A group of us went last week and sat for 4 hours eating and drinking and only paid 35 quid a head very good value in my opinion :agree:

[stuartmcdee]

the old chain peir in trinity is well worth looking up a good choice on the menu and not over priced note it is well worth booking if you want one of the window seats for the veiw over to fife

I wanted to go there but it was a work's night out i was out numbered by people going to McCowans bar :boo hoo:

[LustForLeith]

Anyone been to the outsider on george iv bridge?

[Lucius Apuleius]

I know there are great restaurants in Edinburgh, however, limiting yourself to the City and its environs, you are denying yourself some great restaurants within an hour's drive. Well worth it for good food!!

Not if you both like a drink with your meal and don't want to pay a fortune for a taxi it's not. :greengrin
