Romantic meal in Edinburgh

[mrs2cats]

DH and I are about to celebrate our 20th wedding anniversary and we're considering spending a night in Edinburgh. Where would be a good place for dinner?

Steak at Picardy Place is lovely.

Miros Cantina on Rose Street is good if you like Mexican.

Cafe Andeluz on George Street or George IV bridge night not be romantic but is tasty for food.

Martin Wishart's restaurant is lovely and The Kitchin is ace!

The Witchery. Hands down, it's awesome.

Is the Witchery still going?

Loads of nice places to eat in Edinburgh, depends on your idea of dinner out, is it a way to kick start your evening or do you want your dinner to be the whole evening and also budget is a consideration. The Kitchin and Wisharts are amazing for fine dining, quality service and atmosphere but comes at a price. It's a great city and whatever your plan you will find good options.

Not romantic, but oh, I am pining for Ting Thai Caravan!

Echo Martin Wishart in Leith. Wonderful.

Loads of people will say Witchery- the Restaurant is beautiful but the good is shite IMO, massively overrated. Their other restaurant rhubarb is a million times better. I love the grainstore though- it’s my favourite in Edinburgh.

Other options would be Divinios, the honours or monteiths

Food not good, sorry

Chez Jules is a lovely French restaurant - it's very intimate and not too pricey either. My DH and I went there when we were on honeymoon!

I would go with the Kitchin, it's lovely and it feels like an experience not just a meal

How fancy are you talking? Fine dining on the expensive side or focus more on nice food rather than overly fancy?

Fine dining I'd say The Honours, the Witchery, Cafe Saint Honoré, The Tower Restaurant.

Mexican my personal fave is El Cartel in Thistle Street, Kyloe supposed to be nice for steak but not personally been. The Scran and Scallie a bit out of the city centre in Stockbridge...

Cafe st honore is lovely. Martin Wishart too

I agree with pp, you would go to the Witchery for the setting and not necessarily the food.

Ooh I forgot cafe st honore - we were there the day we got engaged, it’s lovely. For something less pricey Bon vivant is lovely

Avoid steak on Picardy place their service is shit.
Kyloe is amazing!! So is el cartel and non vivant!

Wow! So many replies! Thank you.

I'd been wondering about The Witchery because it looks lovely but I'd heard the food isn't great. A bit of a shame.

BertrandRussell, DH loves Thai so we might have to fit it in if we're there overnight.

I'll have a look at the the others - they all sound lovely.

We live in the northeast of England so we could just go up to Edinburgh for the day. Maybe we'll just have to keep going back to try them all

Thanks again for all the suggestions.
