A good place for eating and drinking is called always Sunday....but if you are looking for a cafe, my top two favorites are The Blue Bar Cafe and Cafe Delos. And if you are looking for a good restraunt to hit, A room in the town. I go to Scotland at least once a year, as I have family there...and those seem to be the best places that I have been to as of now.

Try the Grainstore in Victoria Street. Scottish food cooked in a French style.

The Witchery is good but not cheap as I recall. There was a great sandwich shop right on High Street but not sure if it is still there.

My fave is Urban Angels http://www.urban-angel.co.uk/
They do really yummy lunch stuff, and also main meals at dinner time. Its also all organic and locally sourced. And its in the centre of Edinburgh.
