Top Best Sushi Places & Restaurants in Lasswade

"As the only Japanese-owned and managed restaurant in Edinburgh, award-winning Harajuku Kitchen has proved reassuringly popular with Japanese visitors, the Scottish Consulate General of Japan – and the Scotland rugby team. Situated just off The Meadows and handily close to both the King’s and Lyceum theatres, the menu doesn’t initially inspire, but there’s clearly a pro in the kitchen. Go for the great value lunch menu, where for £12.95 a head you can dine like an emperor, feasting on genmai green tea, miso soup, steamed rice and two dishes, which include tempura, tonkatsu or kara-age."

"Harajuku Kitchen, the Bruntsfield-based Japanese bistro, is a sushi staple in the city and, to their credit, was one of the first eateries in Edinburgh to adapt to the takeaway trend. The online menu includes a variety of sushi, noodles, set mains (with miso soup and rice), sake and Japanese beer. The team’s focus is very much on respect for the ingredients used as well as their flavours."

This shop is a little off the beaten path, but if you’re looking to take someone on a rainy day date (or you’re just too lazy to microwave yourself some soup – which I feel), head over to Maki Ramen and watch cars and people walk by while you guzzle down a bowl of hot ramen. Don’t forget to read the post-it note memories and doodles left on the wall by other customers, and maybe add your own to the mix!"

"Scotland is not especially renowned for its culinary highlights. However, if you are staying in Edinburgh, you will be blessed with a very rich food scene extending much further than Haggis and fish and chips. As every major city, Edinburgh has a very broad and multicultural food scene."

"A post shared by Eilidh Barbour (@eilidh_barbour) on Mar 28, 2017 at 6:35am PDT. Stylish and impressive, this is a lovely restaurant to go to when you are on a special date – or just whenever you want to feel a little fancy. The menu here is a classy one: think aubergine with miso, seared swordfish, and seafood salad to start with."

"I was always a big fan of Kanpai on Grindlay St, but their sister restaurant Yamato is my new go-to place. I love Japanese cuisine anyway but they always have Toro Tuna belly which I love."

"This multi award-winning Japanese restaurant and takeaway serves a variety of sushi, tempura, teppan and more. The food is outstanding, and the restaurant's elegant interior and ambience makes it the perfect date night restaurant for sushi lovers. As with all the best restaurants, we advise you to book in advance."

"If you’re going to visit one sushi restaurant in Edinburgh, make it Kanpai. It’s the most expensive restaurant on this list, but it’s also easily the best sushi in the city. The presentation of their food is superb, and the menu is full of inventive dishes."

"A post shared by Gavin (@thatnydguy) on Mar 12, 2017 at 6:07am PDT. Simplicity is right at the heart of the philosophy behind Kanpai. This eatery offers diners the three key ingredients of sushi, sake, and tempura."

"Grams is the pinnacle of healthy food cafes and really puts the focus on catering to everyone’s requirements whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, gluten intolerant, they have something for you!. Since starting in 2015 selling raw, vegan, clean, dairy-free, gluten-free, refined sugar-free cakes at markets around the Capital. The brand amassed a huge following which led to them opening their own cafe which now provides you with all your brunch favourites – from avocado toast to pancakes to smoothie bowls!"

"This healthy cafe is a must if you’re after something photo-worthy to eat for lunch. The venture out of the city centre is well worth it for one of the prettiest plates of food in Edinburgh. From raw cakes displayed at the counter to protein pancakes to ‘health boxes’ that are packed with protein and flavour, and whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, eating clean or a meat-eater, everyone loves the food at Grams."

"Grams is truly one of the best places Haymarket has to offer, give yourself and your Instagram feed a treat with some of the most aesthetic cakes on this list. Despite its intimate size, this shoebox cafe is not one to be underestimated, for great things await inside."

"Situated right in the heart of Edinburgh, Urban Angel sits in a space that’s long been a meeting point for those looking for great food and fantastic coffee, all served in a relaxed atmosphere. It’s a hotspot for brunch in the city offering classics like Eggs Benedict and French Toast, alongside some of the healthier options of smoothie bowls and fresh juices – it caters to whatever type of brunch mood you are in!.

"Located right in the heart of Edinburgh, Urban Angel is a fantastic meeting place for those looking for great food, fantastic coffee and filling breakfasts.

"A truly hidden hotspot for caffeine cravers in the know, Lowdown Coffee is one of the best-kept secrets in George Street, a pretty thoroughfare famed as one of New Town’s high-end shopping districts. Located in the basement of just one of many of the street’s stunningly crafted Georgian buildings, Lowdown becomes somewhat lost beneath all the hubbub, but given their minimalist décor and outlook – we imagine that’s just the way they like it. Using only seasonal and expressive beans, Lowdown is one of the few places in the city to get truly unique coffee as the barista’s pride themselves on matching beans to specialist brewing methods such as Clover Machines and Torch Mountain Drippers to unlock unfathomable flavours you never thought possible!"

"This no-frills spot is another New Town gem located inside one of the area’s signature style Georgian townhomes on the bottom level. It’s a bit hidden from the street, but once you’ve found it, Lowdown Coffee is a great spot to enjoy a Swedish style cup of jo courtesy of Koppi roasters. Don’t miss a slice of cake from Archipelago Bakery while you’re at it."

"A photo posted by The Counter (@thecountered) on Aug 16, 2016 at 2:38am PDT. Initially just one police box in Morningside, The Counter has now expanded to include 2 more police boxes at the Tollcross junction and outside the Usher Hall, and a floating coffee shop on the Union canal!. Their most recent addition is the newly refurbished stationary barge, serving coffee from the canal straight onto the towpath."

"What: With four locations currently operating across Edinburgh, Milk serves a succinct breakfast menu which mixes the classics with the novel. If you’re looking to try something different, go for the mushroom and rosemary burrito or the vegan fried breakfast, while sticklers for tradition can tuck into eggs any style or a bacon and cheese sarnie. There’s also every type of tea and coffee available to help wash it all down, including the option to have plant-based milk."

"Whether you’re looking for a spot of breakfast, brunch or lunch, Milk is one of Edinburgh’s best healthy restaurants. Their mushroom, rosemary and scrambled egg burrito (£4.20) is the breakfast of champions, especially if you’ve had one too many drams the night before. Sandwiches and flatbreads start from £3.90, and hearty lunchtime stews from £5.90 (we’re obsessed with the black bean, quinoa and potato and the Portuguese chorizo)."

"Milk can provide a little chi in the form of a healthy mushroom, rosemary and scrambled egg burrito (£6.75). Don’t worry, a full breakfast is on the menu (£8.50) along with lunchtime stews & soups, sandwiches and even a superfood salad for the virtuous among us."

"A post shared by TasteOfItaly (@tasteofitalyedinburgh) on Jul 25, 2018 at 5:40am PDT. 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."

"If you’re looking for a cheap pre-theatre dining spot, or just fancy some delicious Italian food, head to Taste of Italy. With starters from £2, pasta from £5.50 and pizzas from £5.95, diners can indulge in a three course meal and a drink for under £15. Visit: 9 Baxters Place, EH1 3EF - vittoriagroup.co.uk/tasteofitaly"
