Food scene
Don’t be put off by Michelin stars. This is the best restaurant in town and well worth the money especially the lunch taster menu. Book well in advance though. Not stuffy or fussy-just great food and service in a great ambience.

100 metres from the apartment-amazing oak panelled bar from a different era that feels as fresh as ever with amazing jazz on Tuesday and Thursday nights and Sunday afternoons. Owned by Fishers restaurant next door so the food is excellent too. Book Sunday lunch in a booth and enjoy the jazz-you won’t be disappointed.

Consistently the top tourist attraction in Scotland and only a 10 minute walk from the apartment. A must see and you will be amazed at how small and simply furnished the queens bedroom was and how grand the banquet room was. A must see in The Shore, Edinburgh, scotland, the UK. Enjoy!
