Edinburgh Restaurant Guide

A Room in the Town

This excellent restaurant is located in the heart of Edinburgh's architectural showpiece, the New Town. With 50 covers it is not big, but very cosy, and they operate a BYOW policy, even though they are licensed, in the light of which they take a very modest corkage fee.

Ann Purna

Apartment, The

Located just up the road from the King's Theatre, The Apartment has sustained its early promise and remains one of the trendy spots to eat on the edge of the New Town.
