This is a great steak restaurant - one of the best in Edinburgh. They also do a fantastic Sunday roast which you can book in advance, it is amazing! We recommend that you book a table if you want to go in the evening for dinner as it can be very busy.

Only a 10 minute walk from the flat, similar to Stockbridge but on the Southside of the city. Lots of interesting independent shops, eateries and bars. It links onto the Bruntsifeld area from which you can access the meadows by going through Bruntsfield links. This is a lovely route by which to walk into town.
