Depends what you're after. The restaurants around Prince's St. can be a bit expensive, but I'd recommend the Mussel Inn in Rose Street if you like seafood in a good bistro setting.
A little further away, towards George Square, there are a lot of more reasonably-priced restaurants. (Still within about five minutes walking distance of Prince's St., though.) For example, there's Home Bistro on West Nicholson Street, which is traditional home cooking; lunch for two courses is about £7. There's Phenecia, also on West Nicholson St., which does tapas at a very reasonable price. On Potterow, there's Mariachi, a new Mexican restaurant that's just opened, with a two course lunch for about £6.
So, lots of choice - enjoy!

Princess Street gardens can be fun. Plenty of food shops across the road, with sandwiches. The area in front the the Art Museum at the bottem of the Mound is a good place to watch street entertainers and eat a sandwich, as is the top of the Royal Mile.
If you are taking your own sandwiches then go for a walk up Arthur's seat on a nice day.

Would suggest u check out www.5pm.co.uk for any offers -they have some great restaurants.
In the city centre would suggest u try La Petite Folie -very reasonable and good french food (also great for dinner). They have 2 restaurants.
If u venture out to the Shore are in Leith I can recommend The Waterfront (all round great food) and Mia for perhaps the best indian/thai food in Edinburgh.

For good cheap food in nice surroundings at lunchtime, Le Sept in Hunters Square (over the road from the top of Cockburns Street.0 Or B'est in Drummond Street (around from the festival theatre)

I loved a restaurant on the royal mile called The Hub, its in Castle Hill. It has a good selection of Italian-rather-than-French modern British food, with good-value food.
But for a list of great places to eat I have listed a link below.

Got to agree with Blondie. The Witchery is fab - wee bit expensive but excellent for a special evening out. Enchanting interior too.
Enjoy !

The Ghurki which is a Nepalese restaurant in Bruntsfield. Good food, realatively cheap and just a little bit different!

There used to be a good bistro above the Doric Tavern by Waverley Station.
