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.

Opened in 2007, this fast food style restaurant was the go-to place for cheap, tasty burgers but closed in 2016 due to the rise in gourmet burger eateries in the capital. Photo: TSPL

19. The Vintners Rooms
Located on Giles Street near The Shore, the restaurant struggled to compete with the many other top restaurants which had set up shop in Leith. And after more than 25 years of trading it closed in 2011. Photo: TSPL
