Hi all. I'm taking my Mother to Edinburgh for 2 days and I need some restaurant ideas for the evening. Nothing that will break the bank like The Witchery. I have been several times before but mostly for weddings so we got quick eats or ate at friends houses. I might take her to Darios for 1 meal as I love their food (Italian) but I would like to find a place off Princes street. Not TGI Fridays etc. I am staying at the Castle view or the Apex City if the Late rooms.com rate goes down.

Also anyone do a day bus tour to the Highlands? If so who would you recommend? My Scottish friend said it will still be scenic even though its Feb.

anyone? I post early as I am in Europe. Any suggestions from the U.S crowd??

I don't know how big your bank is! But we love Martin's , Rose street North Lane. Rose Street is just behind Princes St, an North Lane is a circular lane that runs off of Rose.
Best cheese board in Edinburgh!

Howie's; there's three of them.
Stac Polly.
Yes yes yes.
42 in George Street.
The Siam Erewan
Viva Mexico in Cockburn Street


Try Haggis Backpackers and Rabbies Trailburners for your day trip.

If you are in the mood for a pub, try Deacon Brodie's Tavern, 435 Lawnmarket, on the Royal Mile. Very good pub food with a great atmosphere. Serving from 12 noon until midnight everyday.
