Edinburgh Restaurant Guide

Dungeon Restaurant

Dalhousie must be one of the best-promoted castles in Scotland. A 13th century fortress it has been skilfully converted into a place of hedonistic comfort, of which the food is by no means least. There is a good blend of old and new with a pronounced Gallic influence.

Empires

"Small, round and perfectly formed" is a description that can be applied in many areas, but I do not recall seeing it in association with a restaurant before. That was until Empires came along. Located in the Old Town, always a plus point for many, this tiny Turkish café's main stock in trade is the sort of cooking that one identifies with hearth and home.

Fishers Bistro

In a country with such extensive coastlines it is not altogether surprising that there should be such a national love-fest with the fruits of the sea. The advent of seriously farmed versions, given the demand, is not altogether surprising either, but like most else in life there's no beating the real thing.

Fishers in the City

Fishers in the City is the centrally located sister restaurant to Fishers Bistro , and similarly specializes in seafood. Contemporary cuisine in relaxed and informal surroundings, excellent service and food is what Fisher's is best known for! This is amply demonstrated by dishes like steamed crab claws in Thai green curry sauce or deep fried monkfish in coriander tempura batter with and a cashew satay dipping sauce; though the less adventurous could opt for a whole grilled lemon or Dover sole with sunblushed tomato.
