Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Damhead

"In 2001 this restaurant became the first in Edinburgh to win a Michelin star, and it's retained it ever since. The eponymous chef has worked with Albert Roux, Marco Pierre White and Nick Nairn, and brings a... Scottish in Old Town"

"Never one to miss a culinary beat, The Kitchin redefines the nature to plate trend, rendering it less of a fad and more of a mentality. Tom Kitchin’s deep respect for seasonal produce when paired with his honed French cooking style, results in a desirable Michelin-starred menu overflowing with flavour. The garnish, of course, is the knock-out ambience and attention to detail."

"Walking into The Kitchin from the chilly Leith waterfront is like being wrapped in a warm, expensive mohair blanket. Comfort is the word that comes to mind—you'll immediately send that you're in very safe hands. Since opening this restaurant in 2006, Tom and Michaela Kitchin have been awarded a Michelin star, among many other accolades."

"Tom and Michaela Kitchin opened their namesake Kitchin in 2006 on Edinburgh’s Leith waterfront. It was awarded a Michelin Star in 2007 which it has retained for the past decade. Focussing on modern British seasonal cuisine, Kitchin has won a bevy of awards and is a mainstay on the Scottish fine dining scene."

"Batting way ahead of the curve, Hula opened its original branch 12 years ago before the clean-living fad caught on. The latest opening in Fountainbridge, ironically enough, occupies the place where a burger joint once was. With vegetarian, vegan and (some) meat options all having a place on Hula’s menu, it has something for everyone."

"Get your brunch fix at Hula Juice Bar in Grassmarket, which serves up smoothie bowls, sourdough sandwiches and colourful salads to Edinburgh’s health foodies."

"If you are looking for a more relaxing dining experience with food rivalling that of even the fanciest of restaurants then look no further than Edinburgh’s Ting Thai Caravan. This is the local haunt for students at the University of Edinburgh as it cooks some of the tastiest food at some of the most reasonable prices in the city. The street-food style cuisine comes served in cardboard takeaway boxes and chopsticks on a long communal table creating a very laid-back and inclusive atmosphere."

"Highlights of the Ting Thai menu (and there are many) include succulent marinated chicken dish gai cha plu and the nam tok nua, a fresh, spicy take on the traditional Thai beef salad. Although it’s the same menu throughout the day, prices and portions go up slightly at night, so expect to pay anything from £4 to £9 as the day progresses."

"Now with two restaurants in Edinburgh, the Thai inspired eatery has been running both delivery and collection services during lockdown. With a host of asian dishes on offer from light bites to curries, the most popular unsurprisingly is the 'Pad Thai', according to Deliveroo."

"I asked for 50% sweetness and I could tell there was less sugar, although still sweet. There was a good tea taste from the milk tea. You can also order a whole meal from there which is really nice."
