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)"

With pizza and pasta galore, everyone loves La Favorita and the staff, in true Italian style, make a big fuss over the kids. Definitely not one to miss."

"A crowd-pleasing pizzeria which has become something of an institution in the city, thanks to its traditional feel and welcoming, familial atmosphere. Children can also order mini-pizza or small pasta dishes. While parents can feast on a wide array of choices from risotto to steak, as well of delicious pizzas of course."

"is perhaps St Andrews’ most dramatic and picturesque place to eat. Located on the edge of a high bank with the sea foaming just below, the restaurant affords spectacular views of the Scottish coastline, thanks to the floor-to-ceiling windows which make up its four walls. The interior is fresh and modern, with white tablecloths and contemporary furniture providing a calming contrast to the awe-inspiring views outside."

"The magnificent Seafood Ristorante is located over the beach just behind the Royal and Ancient Golf Club in St Andrews. The restaurant has amazing panoramic views over St Andrews Bay and West Sands Beach. It’s a superb place to enjoy some of the best seafood in the world."

Another restaurant that draws on the Italian-Scottish connection, Taste of Italy is a casual dining establishment with a full traditional menu of the finest options Italy has to offer. Unsurprisingly there are some Scottish twists to be had - the Scozzese pizza comes topped with Aberdeen Angus steak strips - while there is an expansive pasta menu including creamy tagliatelle with pepperoni as well as a warming Mac'n'Cheese."

"The Swilcan Bridge, as it basks unassumingly over a wee trickle of water between the first and eighteenth fairways on the Old Course, is an unsurpassable St Andrews landmark. This age-old bridge, which is more of a stone structure than a bridge, is a legendary golfing icon and perennially popular photo op spot for golf greats. Built over 700 years ago in an understated Roman Arch style, this famous bridge was constructed to help shepherd’s guide livestock across the burn."

"Nestled on St Andrews' dramatic north facing cliffs, with stunning views of the famous west sands and St Andrews Bay, St Andrews Aquarium boasts one of the finest coastal locations in the historic town. Step through our doors and be transported into an underwater world of adventure and discovery. Come face to face with some of the most beautiful, fascinating and dangerous creatures of the watery worlds."

Do try to take part in a feeding sess...Read more"

"The St Andrews Aquarium is located on the cliff foot of the Scores overlooking West Sands. As well as the many fish species on display, there are also penguins and meerkats.[105]"

"Calton Hill provides a panoramic view of the city, with Princes Street, the castle, and the Old Town silhouetted against Arthur's Seat. To the east and north you can see the Firth of Forth and the docks at Leith. At the foot of the hill stands the 13th-century Royal High School, where Sir Walter Scott was once a pupil."

"As early as 1816, the Highland Society of Scotland called for the construction of a national monument to commemorate the fallen in the Napoleonic wars. In January 1822, a proposal was put forward to ‘erect a facsimile of the Parthenon’."

"Formerly the home of Scotland’s national daily newspaper, The Scotsman, this imposing Edwardian building – which straddles North Bridge – offers sweeping vistas of Edinburgh’s skyline. Any hint of ink and hot-metal printing presses have long been banished, replaced by a city-centre hotel that combines the charm of a bygone era with the best of 21st-century living. However, there are occasional reminders of the hotel’s former incarnation – check in to a spacious Editor Room or a compact Reporter Room."

"Best for Cinema lovers In a nutshell Formerly the offices of The Scotsman newspaper, the hotel of the same name occupies one of Edinburgh’s most iconic buildings. You’ll spot its ornate façade from a distance with its intricate and very beautiful stonework. The luxurious hotel is spread across ten floors and rather uniquely links the New and the Old Towns (via Martin Creed’s joyful public artwork The Scotsman Steps)."

"Once the austere press HQ of The Scotsman newspaper, this Baroque-era building sits above Waverley Station – no lugging suitcases around the capital here. Inside, rooms offer a greatest hits of Edinburgh views from the get-go, with the Mound, Calton Hill and Princes Street Gardens all framed at the far end of the bed. Decor is as two-tone as the paper that used to be produced here – soft beiges and porridgy creams."

"It’s clear that Bow Bar’s management cares about keeping the tradition of a proper pub alive at a time when so many are disappearing: You won’t find music blaring – or any music, for that matter – or TVs broadcasting the latest match. Instead, the focus is squarely on the details, from the polished wood bar to gleaming brass taps that date back to the 1920s. Although not many residents live close enough to the pub to make it there, it’s still a popular stop for Edinburghers meeting up for a pint."

"Named after the street of West Bow on which it sits, The Bow Bar is a traditional Scottish pub specialising in beer and whisky. With up to eight real ales on tap and a bewilderingly-long menu of the world's best beers in cans and bottles, it's one of the best pubs in the Capital."

"Emphasising cask beers over kegs, and offering a selection of singlemalt whiskies, this is the place to come. It’s all about tradition at the longstanding Bow Bar. They even serve pies – you can’t get more traditional than that!"

"The Table in Edinburgh’s New Town styles itself as an interactive restaurant, where up to ten diners – and there’s only one sitting per night – can look onto the open kitchen and chat to the chefs as they whisk up European dishes with a Scottish twist. It’s not cheap (£80–90 per person) and there’s no choice, but you will find puns a-plenty: their venison dish is called Oh Deer, for example. If all this sounds a bit whimsical, it’s worth noting that guests rave about the food, the banter and the whole experience."

"A post shared by The Table Edinburgh (@thetableedinburgh) on Oct 30, 2019 at 10:22am PDT. One table, ten seats and one chef; this fine dining venue is rather special. The very definition of exclusive, you could say."
