3a St Andrew Sq, Edinburgh EH2 2BD, United Kingdom
Cuisine: Indian
Dishoom Edinburgh brings the much-loved restaurant's tribute to old Bombay and its Irani cafés to the city. Like its siblings, it recreates a bygone Bombay café — artfully distressed interiors, vintage details and warm lighting — for a setting that feels lively yet intimate, equally good from an early breakfast to a late-night feast.

9 Advocate's Cl, Edinburgh EH1 1ND, United Kingdom
Cuisine: British
Finding The Devil's Advocate is half the evening: it sits at the foot of one of the Old Town's steep stepped closes, inside a nineteenth-century pump house that once handled the city's water. Push the door and the room does the rest — a towering back bar, bare stone, old timber and the sort of low light that keeps people for a second round. It opened in 2013 and has been a bar…
