Also known as the Athens of the North, Edinburgh isn’t just about the bagpipes and whisky. Our wonderful capital city is packed full of incredible restaurants, hotels, bars and hidden hot spots. Whatever your budget, there’s a perfect choice waiting for you.
The Balmoral
There is only one word which can be used to describe The Balmoral – stunning. The perfect combination of classic and modern, each elegant and stylish room has been individually designed, with traditional Scottish tones.

Bubba Q
Stepping away from traditional Scottish food, Bubba Q on the Royal Mile is renowned for their delicious dishes and yummy BBQ delights. The ideal place to treat the family, the slow cooked beef brisket with coleslaw and gherkins is not to be missed!
El Cartel
Intimate, quirky and the best taco’s around – if you like Mexican food you will love El Cartel. Nestled on Thistle Street, visitors be aware – they don’t take reservations, so get there early to avoid missing out.

Bramble
Regarded as one of Edinburgh’s top cocktail bars, Bramble is a wee hidden gem on Queen Street – if you can find it. While centrally located, the venue is hard to come by if you aren’t in the know, with only a plaque to identify it. Discreet, contemporary, and staffed by enthusiasts – what more could you ask for?
