Perhaps our favourite restaurant in Edinburgh and a very authentic Greek experience too. The food is delicious, my favourite is the Big A. Dimitris brings authenticity to his customers with great service and you'll find locals and Greeks here a lot. It's got the little touches like insanely good pita bread and specials which truly are special. Just go!

Ridiculously good wraps for £4.50, so you'll find a line of students at times ordering. Aubergine & guacamole recommended. Don't miss the excellent baklava. Recently discovered by more than locals so sometimes a line outside

It's a short drive or long walk but recommended for the Spanish and Greek Tapas mix. Nearby some other good restaurants too - First Coast and Locanda di Gusti and River...

Crazy good donuts and I don't even really like donuts. There so good you won't have a clue that they're vegan and thus far healthier than normal donuts!

One of the best spots to enjoy lunch in Edinburgh when it's sunny or almost sunny. Sourdough Pizzas are pretty good too. Coffee excellent.

Late night food
Steaks and Burger and beers in the Cowgate. It's genuinely good food in a restaurant that just happens to be open very late.
