Authentic Scottish and traditional food in a nice atmosphere and stunning views. Old fashioned service, a delight. Up close and personal with Sir Walter Scott!

My wife and I are visiting from the States and all our friends back home claimed that food in England was bland. At first I thought our friends were right when we dined at one of the tourist restaurants along the Royal Mile yesterday. But, tonight we stumbled upon Vesta Bar & Kitchen after visiting Dean Village nearby, and wow, I’m so happy to prove how wrong our friends are. We feel like we finally have a taste of what Scotland truly has to offer. What a delight for our stomachs and hearts. The manager, Declan greeted us with warmth, introduced me to Innis & Gunn (my new favorite lager), and recommended our main dishes that were as beautiful as they were delicious. I had the slow braised pork belly on a bed of broccolini and mashed potatoes, and my wife had the linguini with king prawns with olive oil and generous sprinkle of capers. We finished our dining experience with a chocolate cheesecake topped with a raspberry sauce. What an experience!

A super friendly and clean cafe tucked away in the heart of Edinburgh. The interior is modern but still cosy and locals and tourists alike take a welcome break from the hustle of the city.

I had walked past Cairngorm Coffee a few times before, and today decided to stop in and buy a coffee. After paying for my coffee I looked up to thank my server, and caught her mid-eye roll at me. I have no idea what I did to deserve that. When I was waiting for my coffee I noticed several flies in the food preparation area, and had I noticed earlier I would have walked out without buying anything. The coffee was okay, but there are several cafes in Edinburgh producing far better coffee for 25% less and with well-mannered staff.

This is a lovely gallery to visit, with the RSA just across from it, it holds paintings by many famous & historic artists - such as Van Gogh, Johannes Vermeer, Claude Monet & many more. Definitely worth a visit & as an art student, it’s influential.

Small place with fantastic food made from the heart. We went 2 times for breakfast. We ordered Bread with mexican beans and avocado. This is a delicious plate. We also had pancakes with fruitsauce, also delicious. We also had tea and a coffee called "Cortado". I lived many years in the Canary Islands where it is from, and you don´t see this coffee elsewhere. she know how to make it, thanks, lived it.

Not impressed, it started off okay with the wines being fine. Then the food came, chicken and bacon bbq pizza. It was the most bland thing I have ever had. I said to the waitress about the bland pizza and her reply “oh was it” then proceeded to present me with the card machine whilst asking “was everything okay” I said aside from the bland pizza. This was met with no reply. Terrible service and sub par food. Then to top it off I selected no service charge and wasn’t until after I realised that a 10% charge was added anyway. Don’t go here, not value for money in the slightest.

Was curious to try @grazingbymarkgreenaway at the @caledonianedinburgh and had a good evening there. The staff were attentive and friendly, and explained each dish in detail. Most people seemed to be guests at the hotel, but given the convenient location and the spacious seating, it’s definitely a place that more people can consider when dining with friends or colleagues.
