BEST Restaurants on or near Edinburgh’s Royal Mile
Looking for a taste of Edinburgh that’s more than just shortbread tins and tourist traps? Let’s dig in.
Every city worth its salt (or haggis seasoning) has a sea of spots to grab a bite from artisan bakeries and sandwich shops to cheeky bars with cracking wee menus. And like clockwork, the tourist hotspots serve up their own collection of eateries eager to win your wallet.
But here’s the thing about Edinburgh: aye, the Royal Mile is the city’s showstopper and packed with places that’ll charm you with tartan tablecloths and tales of Bonnie Prince Charlie. Some lean in hard on the "authentic Scottish experience" (complete with bagpipes and price tags to match), and truth be told, some of it is magic.
I’ve called the heart of this city home for over 15 years, and I’ve munched, sipped, and nattered my way through the highs and lows of the local food scene. So here’s a wee round-up of spots I genuinely love; places I’d send my pals, my dog-walking neighbour, or even the most hangry tourist on a rainy afternoon.
From budget-friendly bites to the pricier indulgences, each spot earns its place for quality, vibe, and the sheer joy of eating something smashing. They may play the Scottish angle, but they do it well and with proper flair.
Now, there are loads more places that deserve a mention, and plenty you’ll stumble into on your own (Edinburgh’s great like that). But this list? It’s the cream of the crop. Handpicked. Tried and tested. And all worth it - even those that are mere minutes off the main drag.
