Edinburgh - Favorite Restaurants?

We're staying in Edinburgh in March, looking for your favorite restaurant suggestions. Hit me

I haven't been in Edinburgh in 20+ years, but the UK has come a long way food-wise. Fish and Chips, which can be horrible, are very good in a good quality place. Pubs in our area can have very good food - nothing like the pub food of the old days. I imagine it is the same in Scotland. And, of course, Indian restaurants are frequently very good.

The Guardian newspaper has weekly restaurant reviews. That site might be worth searching.

Be aware that expensive restaurants can be staggeringly expensive here!! I know you will love the beer. I am not much of a drinker, but I love the local beer here.

Thanks Pauline. Actually was able to have a 50 minute skype with Becky and she said she's had some really good curry. Also she was amazed at the wealth of choice in the freezer section of the market with regard to Indian food.

I'll search and report back - next up High Tea.

Our son's family lives in Edinburgh so we go up there at least once a year. Expensive eating out is certainly true! But try the delicious Scottish cuisine and homemade bread at The Grain Store (reasonable set price lunches), and if you like it hot, don't miss the Wing Sing Inn- very authentic Szechuan cuisine. The eggplant/aubergine with pork is out of this world! I have dreams about it. It's not fancy, but it's not expensive either!
