4. The Dome
If you are feeling grand, there's no place in Edinburgh quite like this. Corinthian columns, marble bars, chandeliers and draped curtains set the glamorous atmosphere at The Dome, at its spot in 14 George Street. The award winning food showcases Scottish produce, and you can always nip around the back to Rose Street Garden for a luxurious cocktail afterwards. Rating: 4.6 (5,300 reviews).Photo: Google
