Where to eat in Edinburgh
10:35:00The Royal Mile Tavern
I will suggest having dinner in this typical and cosy pub situated on the Royal Mile. When I went there I ordered a chicken roll filled with haggis and roasted vegetables. It was the first time I tried haggis and unexpectedly I really like it, it's really tasty. At the beginning, I was a little bit doubtful since I knew what is made of but I'm leaving in Scotland now so it was mandatory to try it. A friend of mine tried the typical fish and chips and another one the grilled salmon fillet with roasted vegetable. The portions were large and tasty. It is a nice place also for simply grab a beer after dinner, but especially in the weekend it is really crowded so it's better to book in advance and more or less is the same in all pub in Edinburgh.

This is definitely my favourite place in Edinburgh so far. It is a restaurant/bistro/bar located in the Old Town just on the other side of the bridge on the main road and it is Edinburgh's oldest gastropub dating back to the 18th century.

Located in the Old Town, the Advocate is a typical Scottish pub with live music and an informal atmosphere. The menu offers a wide choice of pub food like burgers and fries, fish and chips, baked potatoes and haggis pie. I have ordered the Sunday Roast and it was fine but nothing special actually. Instead, I have tried the burgers and the steak from my friends and they were really tasty. Moreover, we order a portion of nachos with melted cheese to share which was excellent.
Another positive aspect of this place is the price which is really cheap. There are different deals with burgers and fries or other dishes and a beer for less than 8 pounds.
Eteaket - Tea Room
Maybe you don't know that in Scotland "It's T time"refers to is Tennets time. Anyway in Edinburgh there are a lot of tea rooms where 5pm tea is served. Eteaket is a tea room in the New Town situated in a crosspiece of Princess Street. It's a nice place where you can choose from different types of tea such as green black or herbal tea accompanied by a slice of cake or a scone with jam and butter. When you order a cup of tea they give you an hourglass and as soon as the time is finished you should pull out the tea filter or otherwise the taste became too strong. It's also a tea shop where it is possible to buy some tea.
