Edinburgh - how we love thee! Great British Food mag spent a glorious sunny weekend in the city earlier this summer, exploring some of the most fabulous places to eat - from romantic, to traditional, innovative and exciting - all bases were covered.
Read all about it in the latest issue and now online at the GBF website (link in bio).
1. from the mind of inspired This casual eats spot puts a contemporary spin on seasonal Scottish ingredients. The cocktails are stunning. Service impeccable. And the wine list is super super interesting.
2. justly has a queue outside its Stockbridge shop when it's open. Every bite is worth waiting for - particularly the pain suisse and tarts. Stockbridge is a fab neighbourhood for foodies.
3. We absolutely recommend popping into New York/Japanese inspired where we were blown away by the cooking, service and drinks list. The crab butter is something to behold and a must-order.
4. Part of the is a charming historical building. The dining room screams Mid-Century chic, with the kitchen and front of house proudly presenting plates that bring a lighter touch to the Scottish larder. The smoulderingly sexy bar is well worth a visit too, for a tot of whisky or crafted cocktail.
5. Considered one of the most luxurious places to stay in the UK, is a decommissioned, lovingly restored former lighthouse boat, docked in trendy Leith. Expect all the creature comforts you could desire in the rooms, while The Lighthouse restaurant cooks some of the finest seafood we sampled on our trip.
6. is an incredible boutique hotel. Climbing to The Turret bedroom, tucked just off the Royal Mile, within a stone's throw of the castle, feels like living in a fairytale, and every single aspect of a stay here has been considered, with magical finishing touches. Both restaurants ooze luxury and romance.
