The Stockbridge Tap
2 Raeburn Place, EH4 1HN, Edinburgh
from craig777 on November 19th, 2008 (5 hours ago)
I have only been here for drinks but it is a nice change from across the road at Hectors. The bar staff are very friendly and knowledgable about the drinks on offer. You can nearly always get a table and the atmosphere isnt too bad either. It is a place for one or two after work drinks rather than popping in for a few on your way out on the town. Its a nice place to go to unwind before you go home.
I havent had the food here yet but I have been tempted by the menu which have a very strong scottish theme.
Great selection of bottles beers, ales and whiskys!

Mya Restaurant
92 Commercial Street, EH6 6LX, Edinburgh

I had my wedding party here on a Saturday night for around 30 people at 8.00pm. The table was set beautifully, the staff were friendly and attentive, and most inportantly the food was fantastic. We all had 3 courses and a variety of Indian and Thai and it was really nice. I'm not sure which is better - the Indian or the Thai. It doesn't look like your average curry house as it is modern and is quite classy too.
Would definitely recommend to friends family etc.

Sky Bar and Grill
Unit 42, Ocean Terminal, EH6 7DZ, Edinburgh

Nice service but the food was terrible. Chilli garlic prawns were burnt and shrivelled. We also had the chilli burgers which were bland and tasted processed and deep fried. I have had a better burger in McDonalds. No chilli apparent. The chips were frozen and I saw the chef open the chip bag with his teeth. I asked if everything was made on the premises and the quick reply was of course, yes. I am not sure if I believe this. I wouldn't blame the staff at all as they were lovely but the management of this establishment need to have better standards and realise that if they think they are making a quick buck they are very naive. I will never go back to this restaurant. Serve 'real' food please and your customers will appreciate it. People are no longer taken in by trendy exciting menus. We want quality produce.

Terrace Brasserie
The Royal Terrace Hotel, EH7 5AQ, Edinburgh
from peld on November 17th, 2008 (2 days ago)
The food at the Terrace Brasserie was quite simply outstanding. It is without doubt the best value meal I've ever had and up there with the best I've ever had.
I seriously don't know how they can serve the pre-theatre menu for £15 (3 courses, not as the offer says above, check out the places website or 5pm). They can only have made any money on our drinks!
We had a pea & leek tart with goats cheese and haddock fishcakes for starter, both had slow roast beef with mash for main, and pear tart & praline/macademia nut cheesecake for dessert. We scoffed the lot (and there was a lot), and it was all beautiful. Just cant recommend it enough, even if it is out the way a little, and the atmos was quite quiet.
We will be going back as soon as the menu changes!

Went for a work day/night out here last week, the food was great. Steak was perfectly cooked excellent value for money. The atmosphere and friendliness off the staff was flawless definitely will be going back.

The Tron
9 Hunter Square, EH1 1QW, Edinburgh
from smurfberry on November 16th, 2008 (3 days ago)
Can't really understand the popularity of this place - the beer is awful with no choice whatsoever if you want a real ale. If you are a student with a very limited budget and a 'yellow card' fine, but if if you want decent beer then head elsewhere.

David Bann
56-58 St Mary's Street, EH1 1SX, Edinburgh
from smurfberry on November 16th, 2008 (3 days ago)
Best vegetarian restaurant in Edinburgh.
I am not a vegetarian but David Bann's is an example of how good a vegetarian restaurant can be when they avoid the usual nut roast cliches and cook imaginative and tasty food which just happens to be vegetarian. Nice layout, lighting and atmosphere too and good service. Main courses are around the 10 to 12 pounds mark and starters from 3.50 so not the cheapest vegetarian restaurant in Edinburgh but worth paying extra for the quality of food and attractive surroundings. Excellent panacotta for desert. :) They also do a weekend all day brunch for six pounds which makes it a good place to browse the Sunday papers while you gather the enrgy for a walk up Arthur's Seat.

The Jolly Judge
7 James Court, EH1 2PB, Edinburgh
from smurfberry on November 16th, 2008 (3 days ago)
Excellent little pub hidden down a side alley off the Lawnmarket (top of the Royal mile). Free wifi. Couple of tables outside in summer. Live music some nights. Decent beer (Deuchars IPA). Probably one of the best pubs on/near the Royal Mile.

Anima
11 Henderson Row, EH3 5DH, Edinburgh
from smurfberry on November 16th, 2008 (3 days ago)
Have had the 'Rustic Tuscan' a few times which is usually good. Made the mistake of ordering the seafood pizza and it was very greasy and not particularly pleasant. Pasta I can make at home very quickly and cheaply so have not tried that. The burgers look good, but I have stuck to pizza as 'Italian soul food' is suppossed to be their speciality. Good wine selection (to takeaway by the bottle). You can eat in but it's very bright and functional rather than comfortable with bar stools to sit on. Staff are friendly and pleasant.

L'Alba D'Oro
7 Henderson Row, EH3 5DH, Edinburgh
from smurfberry on November 16th, 2008 (3 days ago)
This place is a bit hit and miss - it can be excellent and it can be quite mediocre. Like most chippies, if your fish is cooked to order then it's good but if it has been sitting under the heat lamps on the shelf for a while it tends to be a bit dried out and overcooked. Chips are good, but not spectacular. Staff are friendly and pleasant and the range of wines is great for a chippie (but then this is the New Town). They do ice-cream as well if you really want to smash through your recommended daily calorie intake in one meal! Some good daily specials like squid in spicy batter. On balance though unless I really feel like fish and can be sure that it will be cooked to order, I would rather go next door to Anima (owned by a member of the same family) for a Rustic Tuscan pizza - no other pizza though as they have been too greasy and dissapointing and pasta I can make at home. Often touted as the best chippie in town but I think they have rested on their laurels a bit and not up to the standard of the new(ish) Tailend on Leith Walk.
