The line-up of traders changes each week, but you’ll often find local favourites such as Babu Bombay Street Kitchen, Barnacles & Bones, Bonnie Burrito, French Connection Creperie and Union of Genius Soup on-site."

"At Union Canal every Friday, Fountainbridge is home to some of the country’s best street food retailers offering the prefect location for lunch. Elevenses or an afternoon treat. Each week hosts different suppliers but regular favourites include Babu Bombay Street Kitchen, Barnacles & Bones, Bonnie Burrito, French Connection Creperie, Union of Genius Soup and Steampunk Coffee."

"The focus here is on tasty, freshly prepared seafood at very affordable prices. The atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming for the whole family. All of the seafood on offer is carefully sourced and the shellfish is cultivated in an environmentally-friendly way in the sea lochs of the West Coast and near the Hebrides, Orkney and Shetland Isles."

"What you see is what you get with the Mussel Inn — excellent seafood and impeccable service in a brilliant relaxed setting. Besides, the maritime feel could never get old. This beauty is conveniently located on Rose Street (just off Princes Street) and makes for the perfect pit stop in between the hustle and bustle of everyday city life."

"If you’re a sucker for seafood, this is the must-visit restaurant for you. The grilled Queen scallops, paired with black pudding, viola flowers and a yellow bell pepper dressing are priced at a reasonable £6.90 and the menu also contains a number of classic seafood dishes which means you really can’t go wrong."

"Something of an institution, Paco’s keeps Perthers coming back over and over, perhaps because it would take dozens of visits to try even half the menu. There’s something for everyone: steak, seafood, pizza, pasta..."

"As you would expect, all our food at Paco's Restaurant is freshly prepared daily and cooked to order. From pasta to pizzas, burgers to steaks, we have an ex ..."

"Zen Lifestyle began with a small salon in Bruntsfield, and now operates from three locations in the city including the flagship salon in Hanover Street. Twice awarded the UK Salon of the Year at the British Beauty and Spa Awards this prodigious salon offers over one hundred treatments for men and women. Zen Lifestyle is one of Scotland's most advanced cosmetic medical clinics and has a full range of beauty treatments such as waxing, manicures and pedicures."

"For breakfast, choose from ‘Pimp my Fry’, Rare breed pork sausages, streaky smoked bacon,  Stornoway black pud, Campbell’s prime haggis, smoked paprika and thyme tomatoes, beans, confit mushrooms and a free range egg on sourdough toast, or ‘Matcha Matcha Man’, Brioche french toast, matcha meringue, lemon curd and raspberry mint butter. For brunch try ‘Sunshine on Stockbridge’ sweet potato, plum tomatoes, grilled courgette, guacasaca, free range poached eggs and poblano peppers, sourdough or Waffles – homemade deep Belgian waffles with blueberry compote, fresh blueberries and 100% Canadian maple syrup."

"A labour of love for husband-and-wife team Chris and Charlotte Thompson, The Pantry exploded onto Edinburgh’s culinary scene in 2012 and is still making waves. Brunch at this Stockbridge restaurant is a rite of passage for any Edinburgh visitor. Chris’s eggs benedict, for instance, captured the imagination of The Sunday Times, who wrote that it was ‘reason alone to come to Edinburgh’."

"A distinctive element at this restaurant is the hearty and enticing meals they serve from breakfast, lunch, and dinner that fit into what most kids desire. Each meal is prepared by professionals meeting excellent standards to serve fresh, tasty and clean food to you and your kids. An outdoor setting is also available to meet the needs of the family that prefer such an environment."

"I have to hold my hands up and say I’ve only ordered from Oishii via Just Eat, but oh my goodness, I am so happy that there are such great vegan Japanese options in the city!. According to Happy Cow, if you go into the restaurant itself (on Murray Place, right opposite the Oxfam bookshop and just down from the Thistles) and mention that you are vegan, the staff and chefs are more than happy to accommodate you and veganise menu options on request."

"There are a number of buffet style Chinese restaurants in Edinburgh, but China Red is arguably the best. With an absolutely massive range of dishes, even the pickiest diner will find something to their taste, and their high tech buffet tables ensure the hot dishes remain hot and the chilled dishes nice and cool. The range includes all of the classics you would expect with numerous seafood and vegetarian offerings as well."

"Why: Often, Chinese food is associated with buffets, and although buffets are – in our not so humble opinion – one of life’s little wonders, they sometime get a negative (and unfair) reputation. Not at China Red’s two Edinburgh sites, though. The buffets are loved by the locals and we can understand why with a regularly changing menu and neatly presented desserts."

"Always fresh, delicious food with a variety so much bigger than any other Chinese buffet I've been to. Polite staff, funky entrance and good availability of seating space." 30 Grindlay Street, EH3 9AP"
