9 Cellars Restaurant

Chef Thakur, the winner of the International Chef of the Year competition in 2007, is perhaps as well known as this eatery itself. Rather than being called an Indian restaurant, they like to refer to themselves as a team that specialises in Indian food.

2 courses from the a la carte menu, including a glass of wine for £15

A Room in Leith and Teuchters Landing

Located in a building that takes us back in time, Teuchters Landing was the waiting room for steamship passengers, who used to embark at Leith Docks for the ferry to Aberdeen. The whole place has now had a major facelift, and, having cleverly retained the really historic bits, they then added an elegant conservatory, which has become the restaurant 'a room in Leith', promising a warm welcome to locals and visitors to Edinburgh.

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.

A Room in the West End and Teuchters Bar

Amber Restaurant

Amber Restaurant specialises in estate bred beef and lamb, prime game, wild salmon and the freshest vegetables, all sourced with a painstaking eye for quality.

Ann Purna

Anna Purna, which means The Food Provider, is a part of Edinburgh which must somehow always be maintained. As a Gujerati Indian it gives vegetarianism a good name and hardened carnivores are said to have eaten here without ever being conscious of the lack of meat.

• Avg. Cost Per Head Lunch: N/A, Dinner: £19.00

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. The fittings reminded me of an Oxbridge College's modern dining room - nothing skimped, modern and sensible, good taste and eminently practical.
