Restaurants in Edinburgh are amongst the finest within the UK. I guess there are actually two aspects which genuinely set the Edinburgh restaurant scene apart from the competition…

…the intense assortment of international cuisine and the selection of restaurants specialising in Scottish cuisine.

Scottish cuisine you say? What on earth is that? Hideous helpings of raw meat and champagne flutes of pig's blood?

Feel once again, my dear friend. Our chefs are extremely adept at complementing locally sourced meat make like Aberdeen Angus or seafood like salmon having a sortiment on the nation's favourite vegetables.

Scottish cheese can also be a standard function on Scottish menus alongside fruit sorbets, purees and sauces. An evening at a Scottish restaurant will have diners searching beyond the much-discussed stereotypes.

I'll be telling you concerning the internationally admired Scottish restaurants in Edinburgh of which the locals are proud, including the internationally-renowned James Thomson trio The Witchery by the Castle, Rhubarb in Prestonfield along with the Tower above the Museum of Scotland.

I will also tell you about the much-loved Edinburgh 'chains' Stac Polly and Howies.

We do, naturally, have an impressive selection of international restaurants in Edinburgh, most of which present extremely high culinary and service standards.

From Rome to Paris to Dehli and beyond…

The very popular but often one-dimensional Italian cuisine is provided a refreshing make-over at Valvona and Crolla, an Italian delicatessen, wine specialist, cafe and restaurant.

The business enterprise was started in 1934 by Alfona Crolla, the present owner's grandfather as a approach to provide Italian immigrants with authentic Italian solutions sourced from the finest nearby producers in Italy.

These days the delicatessen has been extended to incorporate a very effective restaurant. The family members also possess a bakery in addition to a cafe within the city centre. Specialising within the very best wine and cheese Italy has to provide with an admirable family-oriented strategy to their perform, Valvona and Crolla is more a way-of-life than a business.

If you're into French cuisine, you should not really miss the ultra-blue Maison Bleue restaurant, if that is even attainable!

This delightful French, North African and Scottish restaurant comes total with stone arches in addition to a spiral staircase to feast your eyes upon and is without the need of doubt 1 on the most colourful restaurants in Edinburgh!

The exclusive promoting point of this restaurant is its cosmopolitan employees. Maison Bleue has chefs and members of employees from France, North Africa and Scotland and that is reflected inside the menu.
