Best Edinburgh restaurants

[WaltzingBetty]

We have a family celebration in Edinburgh. I know there are millions of restaurants but I'd really like personal recommendations for a couple of lovely meals, ideally at least one a proper Scottish menu and a bit of a celebration, but flexible for other meals.
Ideally central or leith areas
Not too ££££ if possible

Also able to cater for veggies and gluten free!

Thanks in advance

i dont know if it would fit the bill but we found a lovely french restaurant in the market square under the castle you go down the stairs at the front of the castle called le petit francais look it up on tripadvisor lovely food and a lot cheaper than the royal mile prices

Thanks

Kismot. St. Leonard's Street.

Kismot is family run and they cater to all different dietary needs.

Thanks - sadly my folks aren't keen on Indian/spicy food.

Ideally looking for Scottish/ British food options

The Witchery.

Personally I really like the Witchery by the castle for something special and good Scottish produce.

Fishers in Leith is great if you all like fish.

Balmoral brasserie. Contini fun Italian in old bank on George Street. The Dome-again an old bank, very cool setting on George Street. Fishers. The Tom Kitchin restaurants- although I think one might now have gone bust. Castle Terrace?

The Lookout by Gardeners Cottage is absolutely gorgeous and fits the bill for the type of food you want. It’s a bit pricey though so worth your checking the menu first.

The Prestonfield

The Scran and Scally in Stockbridge.

Angels with bagpipes for good Scottish food,
Contini's on George Street for Italian Scottish,
Bon Vivant for Scottish with a twist and good atmosphere

There's a great French bistro called Chez Jules. Great food and atmosphere and really food value too.

For leith:

Little chartroom - small, little pricey but not super expensive, great menu

Walnut on leith walk - BYO bistro, really great food

Teuchters landing in leith for pub food/atmosphere

Printing press on George st or Howies on Waterloo place in town for Scottish menus/family celebrations

Other more central options a bit fancier could be Fhior, Apiary or Aizle

The grainstore 100%on Victoria st. Really lovely. Witchery beautiful but food offer disappointing, their sister restaurant rhubarb at prestonfield on the other hand is brilliant

Wedgwood on the Royal Mile. We had our wedding meal there, and subsequent meals. It's superb in every way; local produce, personal service, the best wine I've ever had!

Ooh great! Thanks!
Lots of ones here I've not heard of!
