18 Quirky Places to Eat in Edinburgh
"A post shared by Edinburgh Food Porn & Reviews (@plateexpectations) on Jul 7, 2017 at 3:45am PDT. Part of a chain of three restaurants dotted across Edinburgh, Maki and Ramen offers soothing bowls of broth with braised bean curd (or try the ‘Hell Ramen’ if you dare!) and then plenty of fresh sushi to have on the side or as an additional course. This is probably the best sushi restaurant on this list for vegetarians, too, thanks to its thoughtful and delectable vegetarian set dishes."

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!"
"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."
"Chizuru Tei is popular for its delicious selection of bento boxes to carry out. You can also eat in at their friendly and welcoming Haymarket restaurant. Either way, you'll fine some fresh and tasty sushi here."
"Dine outside at Frankie & Benny’s and enjoy the best of America and Italy in both style and cuisine. Frankie & Benny’s specialises in home-style cooking with an extensive menu offering a wide range of dishes – from spectacular starters to stunning specials and delicious desserts. Its customer favourites include the F&Bulous burgers, freshly cooked pasta, succulent steaks and BBQ ribs, light and crispy pizzas and much more."
"Cafe Marlayne in Thistle Street has a charming artsy decor, which is inspired by typical Parisian restaurants. Located near the Princes Street shopping area, this restaurant serves classic French dishes made with local produce. The menu comprises a wide selection of soups, seafood and meats."
"A classic French restaurant,Café Marlayne can be a lively bistro at day time and a romantic dining place at night,which has served authentic French flavors and staed true to its character since the beginning"
"A post shared by Adam chorizo (@adamsfoodedinburgh) on Oct 6, 2016 at 1:24pm PDT. This French restaurant in Edinburgh serves no fuss, simple food. Whether you order from the a la carte menu or one of the set menus, you will definitely get a good selection of food."
"The Water of Leith is a great bistro style cafe which has gained a huge local following and become one of the most popular eateries in the Cannonmills area. The cafe has a relaxed and extremely welcoming ambiance and the French style food is both delectable and reasonably priced. Great Cullen Skink sits happily alongside French classics such as Croque Madame and the specials board is always brimming with tempting treats."
