Edinburgh Restaurants

  1. Khublai Khan

    OK, the authenticity may be questionable but a Mongolian barbecue certainly makes a change from curry or pizza. Choose from a buffet of raw meat, seafood and vegetables, flavoured with oils, spices and sauces of your choice, and have it cooked to order on a Mongolian-style barbecue (veggies have their own grills).

  2. New Edinburgh Rendezvous

    Edinburgh's oldest Chinese restaurant, dating from 1956, is still one of its best. A no-frills, no-nonsense place, it offers an extensive menu of expertly prepared Cantonese and Peking dishes with classic favourites, such as shredded beef with chilli sauce and aromatic crispy duck, alongside more adventurous dishes, such as shredded sea blubber, boneless duck's feet with mustard sauce, and pickled cabbage with chilli sauce.

  3. Rainbow Arch

    It's always a sign of a good Chinese restaurant when you see members of the local Chinese community eating there, and you'll see plenty of them at the Rainbow Arch. The menu is more adventurous than most - look out for deep-fried minced octopus cakes - and even the standard dishes, such as lemon chicken, are a cut above the average Chinese restaurant.
