More on dining in the Rough Guide to Edinburgh Overview You can eat well in Edinburgh on almost any budget, and choose from pretty much any international cuisine. Plenty of places specialize in traditional Scottish cooking, using fresh local produce, including top-quality beef and venison, while Italian and Indian restaurants abound at the top end of the scale offering some classic eating experiences. In addition, the application of home-grown ingredients to classic Gallic recipes is something the city does particularly well, resulting in some fabulous French restaurants. Vegetarians and vegans are well catered for, and there are plenty of fish specialists - seafood fans should head to Leith, whose waterside restaurants serve consistently good food. When choosing a place to eat, bear in mind that most pubs serve food, particularly at lunchtime and in the early evening, offering a filling if predictable fare ranging from toasted sandwiches to fish and chips and gooey lasagnes.
