Edinburgh restaurants - suggestions please

Another is The Outsider on Geo 1V Bridge which is very convenient for Grassmarket.

Third vote for Dine behind the Usher Hall (and within splendid walking distance of the grassmarket)

They have great restaurants.
Agree Tom Kitchen, Dome and The Witchery.
The Ivy is our go restaurant, if we're not sure where to go, probably a bit cheaper too?
Not been to Dine...
My DH comes from Edinburgh, I will add Dine to my list for the next time we go up.

The Witchery is my favourite place of all - we were lucky enough to stay there for our wedding anniversary. Have a lovely celebration wherever you choose!

We loved Dine, which is above the Traverse Theatre

Ooh yes, forgot about Dine - it is lovely and obviously very handy for the Grassmarket.

Thanks so much for your speedy responses! Plenty to look at here. We’ve often been to the Dome, but just for coffee! Always so beautifully decorated at Christmas. I didn’t realise it served evening meals.

It's not really within walking distance of the Grassmarket (but is on several main bus routes), but the Skyline Restaurant at Tynecastle Park (home of Heart of Midlothian FC) is absolutely fantastic.

I remember an Italian restaurant where they didn't take bookings but people had to queue but we couldn't wait so long. Definately family run but maybe not quite what you are looking for.

Leith is a pleasant walk away so I would recommend trying some place there. A lot of expensive places near the Royal Mile are just tourist traps so I would go a little further.
I didn't try any of the above suggestions as they are way above my budget!

The Dome is beautiful. George Street.

How about Tom Kitchin’s in Leith, it’s a shortish cab ride, but wonderful food and surroundings for a special meal.

We loved it.

How about The Witchery By The Castle Restaurant, I visited last year and it was very, very good.
