If you’re a new student in the city and looking for places to eat without spending your entire student loan, then look no further. Take a look through our photo gallery to see what Time Out team reckons to be Edinburgh’s 11 best spots for cheap eats.
1. Snax Cafe
Where: 15-17 W Register St, Edinburgh EH2. Time Out says: Nothing will make you feel whole after a heavy night out quite like a Snax breakfast will. Photo: Third Party
2. Bonnie Burrito
Where: 82 S Clerk St, Newington, Edinburgh EH8 9PT. Time Out says: Choose from delicious irn-bru pulled pork, haggis (or veggie haggis), steak, chicken or veggies, fill up your burrito with as many extras as you want and then pack on the heat using some of the team's fiery homemade Bonnie Sauce.

3. Oink Grassmarket
Where: 34 Victoria St, Edinburgh EH1 2JW. Time Out says: Oink is a tiny shop serving hog roasts, and you’ll probably smell it before you see it. Photo: Third Party
4. The Mosque Kitchen
Where: 31-33 Nicolson Square, Edinburgh EH8 9BX. Time Out says: A full belly, and change from a fiver. That’s the main draw of The Mosque Kitchen – a no-frills, queue-up-with-a-tray canteen-style set-up, with plastic cutlery and plastic plates. Photo: Third Party
