Great Coffee near Bus Station?

Hi All- I need to be at the bus station before 8 AM on a cold January morning. Where can I find the best Latte within a short walk? I found fortitude, but looks like they don't open until 9. I will be coming from York Place/Leith Street. Thanks!

If I was paying for lunch…

Where would you go? We have 1 day in Edinburgh and prefer to have an amazing lunch rather than dinner. It’s a Tuesday so some of the high end places may by closed.

The brief…

Exceptional food + genuinely luxurious service + beautiful dining room + festive/Christmas atmosphere + à la carte or proper 3-course lunch

Crabbie's raspberry gingerbear where???

Hi lovely people of food Edinburgh.

I am a Canadian on Holiday in Scotland and I am looking to see if anyone knows where I can find a couple bottles of Crabbie's Raspberry Ginger Beer.

My wife absolutely loves them and they don't sell them in Canada anymore.

I have seen the original Crabbie's ginger beer in Tesco's and Sainsbury's but non of the flavoured ones. If anyone know where I might be able to find some I would be so grateful.

Thank-you all so much for any advice.

Is Amber Restaurant and Whisky bar for tourists only ?

Hi, my girlfriend and I are visiting Edinburgh for the first time mid November, to enjoy the beginning of Christmas! I am looking for a place to eat typical Scottish food and I found the Amber restaurant, which is part of The Scotch Whisky Experience. They offer a menu with 3 samples for starters, 3 for main course an a dessert matched with a whisky, for £55 pp. I was able to find only one 7/10 review from 2021 on this sub so I'd like to know if:

  1. The price matches the quality of the menu ?

  2. Would there be a better restaurant offering a similar experience : a menu featuring local food and eventually a whisky pairing. Same price or below, and quality preferred over quantity. We are not fond of whisky but it is probably caused by lack of knowledge and would be glad to learn more.

I saw the recommendations in the last month post (Restaurant recommendations for a first trip) but they were not looking for quite the same thing.

Sorry for any typo, English is not my first language 🇫🇷.

Thank you for your recommendations!
