Edinburgh Restaurant Guide
Clam Shell Fish and Chip Shop
Whilst hardly in the realm of fine dining Clamshell is an essential fixture in the Royal Mile and many a potential diner who has been delayed for one reason or another in his attempts to find sustenance elsewhere has been saved by the ministrations of Clamshell.
- Address: 148 High Street, Edinburgh, EH1 1QS (Map)
- Cuisine(s): Fish & Chip, Scottish
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £18.00
Concord Fish Bar
To those for whom the essential British diet of fish and chips, even if it has been overtaken by curry, is inescapable, the sight of Concord on a dark night when a punch-up has closed your favourite curry house, will come as a beacon light to a storm-tossed mariner.
- Address: 49 Home Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9JP (Map)
- Cuisine(s): Fish & Chip
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: N/A
Coyaba
There are not too many Jamaican restaurants anywhere in Britain and so far as I know Coyaba has a clean sweep in Edinburgh, possibly even Scotland. For those who like their ackee with saltfish and many variations of jerk, this is the place though whether jerk haggis is yet an option I seriously doubt.
- Address: 113 Buccleuch Street, Edinburgh, EH8 9NG (Map)
- Cuisine(s): Caribbean
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £25.00
Creelers Restaurant
Established in 1995, sister restaurant to Creelers on the Isle of Arran, which opened six years earlier, this is wonderful example of what can be done to show off the excellence of the still reasonably abundant fish and seafood available off the coast of Scotland.
- Address: 3 Hunter Square, Royal Mile, Edinburgh, EH1 1QW (Map)
- Cuisine(s): Organic, Scottish, Seafood
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: £15.00, Dinner: £44.00
Cruz
Actually, the brasserie description may be ever so slightly misleading, but not so as to cause any real problems. An old WW2 steam trawler, the ship has adapted remarkably well, and the gentle and occasional movement is mildly suggestive of a cruise down the Forth, though be assured Cruz never leaves her berth.
- Address: 14 The Shore, Edinburgh, EH6 6QN (Map)
- Cuisine(s): Seafood, Brasserie
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £34.00
Cuisine d'Odile, La
Over ten years ago Odile Petre, clearly a very wise woman, saw that the best way to attract people to her French classes at the Institut Francais d'Ecosse was to appeal to their stomachs. She was, of course, completely right and all these years later her French cuisine is still combining with Scottish ingredients to delight her customers - oh, and the French lessons are doing jolly well too.
- Address: 13 Randolph Centre, Edinburgh, EH3 7TT (Map)
- Cuisine(s): French
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £10.00
Daniel's
It is not just La France which weaves its spell amongst the stoves here. Scotland and pan European influences are also at work and very effectively too. This much respected and pleasantly buzzy bistro down near the former Royal Yacht Britannia in Edinburgh Harbour produces attractive food at prices which leave you gasping - with pleasure, by way of a change.
- Address: 88 Commercial Street, Edinburgh, EH6 6LX (Map)
- Cuisine(s): French
- Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £34.00
