Chaophraya Edinburgh showcases a huge array of Thai cuisine, including dishes like beef panang and tamarind roast duck. The stir fries and curries are definitely worth a short walk from George Street, but so are the breathtaking views from the venue's rooftop.
All Bar One George St Edinburgh has your back for everything from sharing plates to big birthday buffets. We believe it makes total sense to head down there on Tuesdays, so you can order four or more plates and nab a complimentary bottle of wine.
George Street Edinburgh has restaurants with stunning interiors, none more so than Browns Brasserie & Bar. Not only does the venue boast a three-course set menu including mushroom tagliatelle and steak frites, but their resident pianist could be in town too.
Gusto is a stylish, simplistic Italian restaurant, boasting an extensive menu of authentic eats. Delve into plates of seafood risotto, vegan flank steaks, hand-stretched sourdough pizzas topped with goat's cheese and much more, paired with a cocktail or glass of red. brunch you're after? Their two-course offering includes six drinks, costing just £37 per person.
Good at French? You might know from the name that Le Monde offers starters, mains and desserts from all over the world. In this boutique hotel, kick your meal off with chicken wings before some pumpkin gnocchi, and experience a fun night for the palate.
Slug and Lettuce is one of our favourite spots for lunch on George Street in Edinburgh. Halloumi with avocado is a highlight from its subs and wraps menu, and for later in the evening, the grilled seabass salad and katsu curry have caught our eye.
Enjoy a celebratory bottle of Moët & Chandon Champagne on arrival for £70!
While it may be known for its smoky and theatrical concoctions, The Alchemist also offers a scrumptious menu. If you're peckish, nab crispy mushrooms, tempura prawn lollipops and panko halloumi. Want a full meal? We suggest the crispy Korean fried chicken burger.
Are South American or Mexican vibes on the cards? Then bring the crew to Las Iguanas for a huge range of fiery tapas and mains. Classic fajitas or burritos with all the fillings are available too, as well as peri-peri chicken from the grill.
If you're after restaurants near Rose Street Edinburgh, turn a corner and you'll find Fazenda Rodizio Bar & Grill. With ambient lighting and gothic interiors, it's the perfect setting for tender South American steak. Apart from a glass of red, what more could you want?
