The BBC Good Food team has dined its way around Edinburgh to produce their pick of the best places at which to eat, from 'cheap eats' to restaurants which are perfect for a 'special occasion'.
While some of the choices won’t surprise you, there are sure to be some gems on his list you've not tried before.
Take a look through our picture gallery to see what BBC Good Food considers to be the 28 best restaurants in Edinburgh.
1. Contini
Where: 103 George St, Edinburgh EH2 3ES. Best for: Casual dining. BBC Good Food says: It’s worth visiting for the décor alone – housed in a former Georgian banking hall, with a vaulted ceiling, sculpted pillars, chandeliers and a marble bar, Contini is one of the most beautiful restaurants in the city.

2. Cannonball Restaurant & Bar
Where: 356 Castlehill, Edinburgh EH1 2NF. Best for: Special occasions. BBC Good Food says: Set in a converted school, this three-floor venue has a prime location next to Edinburgh Castle – but there’s more to Cannonball than the fabulous views. Photo: Third Party
3. Ondine
Where: 2 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1AD. Best for: Special occasions. BBC Good Food says: No trip to Edinburgh is complete without a visit to this seafood mecca, run by chef-proprietor Roy Brett, an alumnus of Rick Stein’s seafood restaurant. Photo: Third Party
4. The Fishmarket
Where: 23A Pier Pl, Newhaven, Edinburgh EH6 4LP. Best for: Casual dining. BBC Good Food says: This upmarket fish and chip shop has a prime spot overlooking Newhaven Harbour and is well worth the 15-minute drive from the city centre. Photo: Third Party
