These days, it seems there’s a new restaurant, cafe or bar opening up in Edinburgh every other week, which is great for keeping the city’s eating adn drinking scene fresh and exciting. But over the years, we’ve also had to wave goodbye to plenty of old favourites.
Have a scroll through our photo gallery to see 19 Edinburgh eateries from days gone by – and let us know your own favourites in the comments section before you go.
9. Wannaburger
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
10. 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
11. Brattisani’s
An Edinburgh institution, Brattisani’s served up traditional chip shop fayre for over 100 years from their five shops across the city. Sadly they closed down in 2004. Photo: TSPL
