The Witchery

Simply the most romantic restaurant in the whole city, gothic splendour and an excellent array of Scottish foods and fine wines.
The Witchery by the Castle

One of the most stunning places I have ever stayed at, the Witchery by the Castle exceeded my expectations in every way. The rooms are filled with antiques, lined with tartan and supplied daily with champagne. Breakfast is a stately affair, brought to the room by Roxy, our assigned concierge and served at a table looking high over the Royal Mile. The bathroom came equipped with a bath deep and large enough to accomodate a large tug, and the Victorian equivalent of a whole body shower. A large bust of Queen Victoria dominated the bedroom area and frowned disdainfully at the remote control gas fire, superb stereo system and television. Browsing through the visitors book, you can add your name to those of celebrities of TV, Music and Theatre from all over the world. In short this is a place for romance, decadence and sheer indulgence. I could not recommend the hotel, its staff or the location highly enough.
Wagamama

Noodlemania - wagamama offers all things noodles. All the food is fast and freshly cooked to order, the restaurant has a variety of noodle dishes from ramen (soup style) mains to teppan (cooked on a hot griddle). In addition there is a variety of rise based dishes for those who don't want noodles and many side dishes .

A relaxed and informal dining experience.
