"This no-frills place is all about the food - good portions, reasonably priced and served quick from their open kitchen. This open plan restaurant is all about communal dining, don't be surprised if you strike up a conversation to the diners sitting next to you, who can range from students (being a stone's throw from the University of Edinburgh) to young professionals. The queues that you see coming out of Ting Thai Caravan at peak times and weekends are a true testament of the quality of food on offer."

"Starting as a small pop-up serving just 4 dishes, Ting Thai Caravan has become an icon of the Edinburgh food scene. Run by Ting and Ae Tapparat, who used to cook for the Thai royal family, they now run multiple “street food” style restaurants. They have been a sensation in Edinburgh since they first fired up their woks at the Fringe festival in 2012."

"If you're looking for fun things for couples to do in Edinburgh, this easy-going Thai restaurant could be the place for you. Expect authentic East Asian street food in a quirky setting, with exposed brick walls and canteen-style furniture."

"Ten Hill Place Hotel is one of Edinburgh’s premier city centre hotels just 0. 5 miles from Edinburgh Waverley Rail Station.
