A staple when I lived in the area. Especially when it was only just round the corner from the apartment! The friendly atmosphere, great coffee and array of artsy gifts make it a pleasure to visit.

A great place to stop for something to eat if you like Montreal style bagels and are exploring the Bruntsfield area of the city. There are also shops located in other areas of the city.

Slightly more expensive but if you fancy steak in lovely surroundings then I couldn't recommend it enough. They specialise in Dry aged meat and cook the steaks on a charcoal BBQ.

A French inspired brasserie from the same owner of the Michelin starred restaurant 'The Kitchin'. A more expensive option expect great service and great selection of wine.

Neighbourhoods
Slightly south of the city centre Bruntsfield is located on the far side of the Meadows. A wealthy area, it contains plenty of independent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. Off the main shopping street you can find some of Edinburghs grandest houses. A famous author by the name of JK Rowling once resided in this neighbourhood.

If you continue past Bruntsfield you will reach the neighbourhood of Morningside. Its very similar to the latter with individual shops and restaurants. The 'Canny Mans' pub is one of Edinburghs' oldest bars and is more museum than conventional bar. A must visit if you want experience some local culture.

The historic port of Edinburgh. Many of Edinburghs finest restaurants can be found here and some of the trendiest bars. Because of its history it has a slightly edgier vibe than central Edinburgh. On a lovely day the bars and restaurants spill out next to the waterside. Because its located slightly further away from the centre than most neighbourhoods it often has less tourists.

Similar to Bruntsfield and Morningside, Stockbridge is in the North of the city. Its in the new town where the architecture in Georgian but is equally as attractive. Be careful of the cobbled streets!

The most historic area of Edinburgh. All the attractions that make Edinburgh famous can be found in this neighbourhood. Things like the castle, the royal mile, Scottish parliament and most museums. Worth seeing for all the very old architecture and history. Can be very touristy so expect it to be crowded.

Not a bar which is frequented by tourists so if you want to avoid the crowds, this has you covered. Thats if you can find it! Inspired by a the prohibition in America it disguises itself as a barbers, before pulling back a book case to reveal a thriving bar.

Транспорт
The bus system is one of the best I've been on. Use it!
Edinburgh isn't the biggest of cities so alot can be accessed by foot if you don't fancy public transport.
