"Well, this is what The Scotch Whiskey Experience is all about. This is one of the most fun adult things to do in Edinburgh hands down. Especially if you love whiskey."

"The only thing more exciting than Timberyard’s lunch and dinner tasting menus is its paired wines, exclusively from small European producers and all listed as natural. The restaurant has become the poster child for Edinburgh’s new-wave wine scene thanks to its quirky yet high-quality bottles, picking up a slew of awards and rosettes for its food and drink along the way."

"Housed in a converted 19th century warehouse, this family-run restaurant has an enclosed courtyard, the perfect place to enjoy exquisite dishes sourced from local, artisan suppliers. Courtyard open until 9pm, on a first-come-first-served basis. Timberyard10 Lady Lawson Street, Edinburgh, EH3 9DS. Tel: 0131 221 1222"

"With its shabby-chic style and commitment to foraging, butchery, curing and growing your own, Timberyard is a restaurant for our times. Multi-course menus, much of it adorned with herbs and flowers, are best enjoyed in the alfresco yard."

"A 100% vegan restaurant since July of 2015, Henderson’s Vegan serves up some tasty eats and delicious treats in Edinburgh. Hendersons is passionate about having a place where vegans can feel at home, knowing everything they’ll be eating and drinking is cruelty-free and vegan — this includes everything from the comfort meals to the wines and beers. And one of their best and most popular comfort meal?"

"Harmonium's focus is to deliver tasty and filling vegan comfort food, so this is the perfect place to go if you're nursing a hangover!. Their menu is true to the area, with a fair few seafood options across the menu including scallops and crab cakes. They use banana blossom for the fish in their classic fish and chips too which has received rave reviews."

"At Chaophraya, it’s hard to know which is more incredible—the rooftop terrace, the castle views or the authentic Thai cuisine. Sophisticated and sleek, this stellar restaurant is a favourite of locals and passers-by. The menu boasts a wealth of options, including vegetarian and ultra-spicy dishes, and the terrace is the epitome of perfection."

"This Thai-concept restaurant can be found above Edinburgh’s premium shopping district. It offers a wide range of drinks, including exotic Asian-inspired cocktails as well as several culinary delicacies. The restaurant prides itself on its refined atmosphere and the authentic Thai furniture."

"This authentic Thai restaurant offers traditional curries with rice, and any dish can be made vegan upon request, making compassionate dining super-simple."

They serve a fabulous Sunday Brunch between 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm, where you can partake in some amazing soup, as well as a saliva-inducing, fresh market table where you can help yourself to an assortment of delectable brunch items (if you’re not here on a Sunday, they serve lunch between 12:30 pm and 2:30 pm. I ordered the French style pizza with roasted Mediterranean vegetables. Yum)."

"Originally opened as a Fringe pop-up, Checkpoint is now a permanent and popular restaurant (Photo: Checkpoint). Checkpoint’s daytime menu offers a range of delicious dishes for less than a tenner, with options like the crispy halloumi burger, mac and three cheese toastie, and fish bouillabaisse stew on offer. The evening menu is slightly pricier (with most mains around £15), but the relaxed restaurant still offers affordable dining without compromising on taste or portion size."

Checkpoint is located in Bristo Place near the University and has an industrial contemporary interior mixed with the feeling of your own front room, think cosy and relaxing. For any sleepy heads breakfasts run throughout the day until 5pm in tandem with their lunch options."

The Checkpoint is a classy restaurant with a sense of humor - just check out their website and social media posts for a sample of their subtle, self-effacing personality. The restaurant is basically Edinburgh in a mini form."

"The John Knox House dates back to 1470, making it one of the oldest buildings in Edinburgh, as well as the oldest on the Royal Mile. Today, it’s a beautifully maintained museum that showcases the house and those who lived here, with special attention paid to the Scottish Reformation. Although it’s not on every tourist’s trail, those who do their research will be well rewarded with a fascinating trip back through time."
