Cheap Places to Eat in Grangemouth

"If you like pizza, you’ll love NovaPizza Vegetarian Kitchen. It was founded in 2015 by two pizza experts from Rome called Sari and Fabiana Albertinelli, and they use the finest Italian techniques to create cruelty-free pizzas that have been the talk of the town since they first opened. The restaurant is based in the New Town, and popular vegan pizzas include the ‘4 Stagioni’ pizza – with artichokes, vegan ham, mushrooms and vegan pepperoni."

"The only totally vegetarian and vegan Italian restaurant in Edinburgh, Novapizza will have you drooling over their great selection of pizzas, pastas and mains. Dine out on everything from seitan steaks and veggie salmon to some very decadent desserts at this charming Howe Street spot."

"The name gives off a draft beer and IPA vibe - but that is far from the only thing that Cold Town House has to offer. The pub sell some really awesome-looking cocktails that are begging to be held while posing for Instagram shots on the rooftop bar, with Edinburgh Castle in the background. Cocktails on offer include amazing slushie Pornstar Martinis and a classic Pina Colada number - not to mention frozen strawberry margaritas, which are perfect for the heatwave we are expecting this weekend (that reminds us to buy more suncream)."

"Cold Town House, an après-ski-themed beer garden on the Grassmarket in the heart of the Old Town, is a relaxed urban venue, with views of the castle. Owned and run by local brewery Cold Town Beer, it serves its own craft beer, as well as prosecco and warming whiskies. Great value pizzas can be ordered from the vintage van parked on the pergola-covered rooftop."

"CTH opened in 2019 and has already proven popular with the stag weekend crowd. Set over three stories and with a rooftop terrace overlooking Edinburgh Castle, the former church has the added advantage of having its own brewery on hand. As well as its own-brand beers, it has a range of cocktails, prosecco, whisky (obvs), and a locally-sourced menu."

"Devotees of the pork sandwich will flock to Edinburgh’s Oink; although the menu may not be especially broad, they’re exceptionally good at what they do. A hog roast on a roll, (small, medium or large), with a choice of stuffings and toppings, and with a drink on the side, will cost you 9 USD at the most. The optional stuffings are either classic Sage and Onion or, for a more Scottish taste, you can add haggis."

"The wonderfully named Oink serves up freshly roasted and carved hogs from the Scottish borders. You can get a white or brown roll stuffed with delicious, melt-in-the-mouth, pulled pork and your choice of toppings – sage & onion, apple sauce, chilli relish or haggis. If you're lucky you'll get some crackling to go with it."

"Aptly named, Tony Crolla’s authentic Italian restaurant has been a firm favourite with local residents and visitors for many years. A fabulous menu, combined with warm, friendly staff, this bustling restaurant offers wood-fire oven baked pizzas, mouthwatering pastas and much-loved Italian desserts including tiramisu, pannacotta and homemade chocolate and pear sponge cake. 331-325 Leith Walk, Edinburgh EH6 8SA (website)"

They have a range of sauces to cool down or spice up your meal and serve pitchers of rather good cocktails."

"Edinburgh's gallery of modern art is split between two impressive neoclassical buildings surrounded by landscaped grounds some 500m west of Dean Village. As well as showcasing a stunning collection of paintings by the popular, post-Impressionist Scottish Colourists – in Reflections, Balloch, Leslie Hunter pulls off the improbable trick of making Scotland look like the south of France – the gallery is the starting point for a walk along the Water of Leith. Fees apply for some exhibitions."

"You can explore Leith and visit the Trinity House Maritime Museum, stroll along the Water of Leith Walkway or see the latest exhibits on display at the National Gallery of Modern Art."

"Papii may not seem like much from outside but this little café has a reputation as one of the best on Hanover Street. Their speciality is ''eggs Papii'': a toasted English muffin, poached free-range eggs and homemade hollandaise sauce (they also do more traditional options like eggs benedict, eggs florentine and eggs royale). If you don't fancy eggs, then don't miss their famous buttermilk waffles, which come with a number of different toppings including crispy bacon, fresh strawberries or honey and cream."

"What: Small and with no fuss, Papii is a very popular spot in the city, so you’ll have to make sure you get their early to secure a table. Although there’s no fried breakfast to be found here, there are plenty of other options to satisfy you, including the likes of filled breakfast rolls, paninis and bagels, as well as eggs any way you like. The main attractions though, are Papii’s indulgent buttermilk vanilla waffles and the smoothies which are made from fresh fruit."

"Finally, somewhat of a hidden gem on the brunch scene, Papii Café is a small, Mediterranean inspired café with a real neighbourhood feel to it. Their menu is varied, but the two dishes that get people talking are the waffles and the eggs benedict. Despite being a classic brunch food, waffles don’t seem to crop up on too many breakfast menus in Edinburgh."
