Urban Angel
121 Hanover Street, EH2 1DJ, Edinburgh
from jwjlewis (76%) on July 16th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Fairly quirky layout. The food, whilst not amazing, is pretty good. If you're in this part of town and need a snack, it's got what you need.

Jacques Bistro
8 Gillespie Place, EH10 4HS, Edinburgh
from jwjlewis (76%) on July 16th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Having been three times, I must like it at least a bit:
The first time I had the most amazing steak. Second time I had an average meal. Third time I had good food again, but I had to move table as someone started smoking right next to us - but then it is a French restaurant. Without that to worry about now though it should be a fine evening out.

Hard Rock Cafe
20 George Street, EH2 2PF, Edinburgh

from steven (36%) on July 12th, 2007 (1 year ago)
The usual Hard Rock Cafe fair with rock memorabilia on the walls etc. It's pretty cheesy, but if you have a Pig Sandwich craving it's the only place to go!

Assembly
41 Lothian Street, EH1 1HB, Edinburgh
from mdavidson (91%) on July 6th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Has a good range of your standard bar food offering and prices are very reasonable. A good place to eat if you are after a quick bite.

The Basement
10a-12a Broughton Street, EH1 3RH, Edinburgh

from rachybaby (84%) on July 5th, 2007 (1 year ago)
I went here for the first time two nights ago and was pleasantly suprised. The food is cheap (around £6/£7) for a home-cooked main course of a considerable portion! It is mexican-themed but there is a good choice of traditional cuisine also. Only bad points are that the lighting is bad and that it seems compulsory for staff to wear a ridiculous amount of body piercings...

New York Steam Packet
31 Rose Street Lane North, EH2 2NP, Edinburgh

from andy (100%) on July 4th, 2007 (1 year ago)

They do a really cheap set menu. The steak is good and worth paying the couple of quid extra for. Starter and desserts are nothing special. Restaurant is very hard to find - up an alley off one of the lanes off Rose Street.
As it's a cheap and cheerful kind of place, you book a table for a predefined time block and need to vacate the table by a certain time. Not a problem, so long as you know.

Native State
32-34 Potterrow, EH8 9BT, Edinburgh

from andy (100%) on July 3rd, 2007 (1 year ago)
Fairly average student boozer with above average service and food. Burger and chips is a pretty safe choice at £6.95 with a choice of toppings - blue cheese, bacon etc.
Their breakfast is also one of the best hangover cures in town. Well priced and comes with coffee or tea, orange juice and loads of toast. They always seem to have plenty of papers at hand as well so is a good place to spend a lazy Sunday morning.

B'est
16 Drummond Street, EH8 9TX, Edinburgh
from alison (16%) on July 2nd, 2007 (1 year ago)
Great place for good value early evening suppers. Food is very tasty and well cooked. Let down by decor, could do with a little facelift, it all looks a bit tired.

Never had a bad meal at this little restaurant. Always a good selection of tasty dishes well presented. Would definitely reccommend for a no frills supper.

Centraal
32a West Nicolson Street, EH8 9DD, Edinburgh
from Owen (33%) on June 27th, 2007 (1 year ago)
Fine selection of (slightly pricey) Belgian beers. They are arguably worth it though for the taste and alcohol content. Certainly better than a warm pint of Miller that you get elsewhere. Nice comfy sofas for relaxing too. Has a good vibe, even on week nights since it is often frequented by the Newington student crowd.
