Top Rated Concerts and Shows in Gowkshill

"Amidst the Tony award-winning musicals, famous shows, high calibre ballets, and musical prodigies are some of the major comedy kingpins. The Edinburgh Playhouse has been host to the likes of Amy Schumer, Louis CK, Jack Whitehall, Jimmy Carr, and Catherine Tate, to name just a few. This former cinema, which was built in the style of The Roxy cinema in New York, has been around since 1929 and makes for the most brilliant of comedy venues due to its sheer size and acoustics."

From internationally and critically acclaimed acts during the Festival, to the year round comedic wizards who cast their spell on unassuming audiences, this chilled university drinking hole is a portal for some smashing comedy acts. The Pleasance, Edinburgh, Scotland"

"Staying on Dundas Street, Archipelago Bakery is a lovely little artisan bakery, serving up freshly baked goods made with organic ingredients and a big dose of love!. It's a gorgeous store, producing delicious breads, cakes and savoury tarts. They supply to some of Edinburgh's best restaurants, which goes to show the level of care and quality in their ingredients and baking."

"Archipelago Bakery is a cozy neighborhood bakery rich with the scent of fresh bread, fresh coffee, and brownies straight out of the oven. The air is filled with chatter and gentle gossip. Caroline, the baker, is behind the bread, strudel, salads, brownies, tarts, and all manner of magical cakes."

"Lastly, Archipelago is another bakery who are passionate about producing ‘Real Bread’. Their bread is made by hand every day, using organic flour and traditional methods. They have a wide range of yeasted loaves and sourdoughs and always adding more to the selection!"

"Pretty cotton print frocks, brief, patterned smocks and edgy T-shirts from the likes of Eucalpytus, Yamama, Ruby Walk and Sugarhill. Certainly at the top end of the Cockburn Street price range, but still that little bit more affordable than anywhere…"

"Grab a cookie and hot beverage at Ben’s Cookies. I went to Ben’s Cookies every day while I was in Edinburgh."

"Image SourceThe market is an ideal place in Edinburgh to explore shops from leading-edge designers to fashion origins. The market is filled with designers, artists, and individuals selling crafts and classy clothes. Take a look for designer hats at Fabhatrix and Mr. Wood’s Fossils and if what you are looking for are old trend hats then Armstrong’s is the place to be."

"Locanda De Gusti is a warm and friendly Italian restaurant on Dalry Road, in the west end of Edinburgh. The chef and owner Rosario Sartore made his mark on the Edinburgh food scene over a decade ago with the popular La Partenope. Locanda De Gusti is a smaller and more intimate affair, but lacks none of the charm of his earlier venture."

"When walking in, do not expect to find a modern and sophisticated place. This Italian restaurant has a more familiar and traditional style, where you will eat as if you were in the Italian Peninsula. Everything tastes like it looks, incredible, but without a doubt, fish and seafood in general are among their specialties."
