Edinburgh Restaurants

  1. Bigos

    Any twinge of homesickness felt by members of Edinburgh's Polish community is rapidly dispelled at this rustic haunt halfway down Leith Walk. The restaurant's signature dish, bigos , is classic Polish comfort food - a slow-cooked stew of cabbage, sausage, meat and mushrooms. The rest of the menu is similarly hearty and filling, from potato pancakes to goulash and dumplings. Bigos is BYOB, so pick up a couple of bottles of Zywiec beer at the nearby Polish deli.

  2. Café Hub

    A Gothic hall beneath the Highland Tolbooth Kirk - now home to the Edinburgh Festival offices - has been transformed into this bright and breezy bistro with zingy yellow walls, cobalt-blue furniture and lots of imagination. Drop in for cake and cappuccino, or try something more filling - fish chowder with crusty bread, or chickpea and lentil dahl with pita.
