These days, it can seem like a new restaurant or cafe opens its doors every other day – but sadly, we’ve also had to bid farewell to plenty of old favourites down the years.
Have a look through our picture gallery to see 19 much-loved Edinburgh eateries that have closed – and please let us know your own favourites in the comments section before you go.
13. Tex Mex
Back in 1984, Tex Mex was the first Mexican restaurant to open in the whole of Scotland. After a move and re-brand to Tex Mex II, the restaurant closed in 2014. Photo: TSPL
14. Khushi's

15. Burger Meats Bun
Excitement was high back in 2014 when news broke that popular Glasgow burger restaurant Burger Meats Bun was opening in the capital. But sadly it lasted only two years before closing. Photo: TSPL
16. YummyTori
Offering up tapas-style dishes rather than sushi, YummyTori on Lothian Road brought something new to Edinburgh’s Japanese dining scene. Sadly, it was only around for a few years before it closed in 2015. Photo: TripAdvisor
