We’re spoilt for choice in Edinburgh when it comes to eating out. And though we said farewell to several popular businesses last year we also welcomed a wide range of new establishments, from Philly cheesesteak restaurant Phat Fellas, Corstorphine bakery Sweet Bella’s to Portobello based Nixo's Greek Street Food.
Here are 14 restaurants, cafés and bakeries that are worth checking out this year.
