A wine lunch? An eight-course dinner menu? It's a yes from us, particularly if we're offered a stool at Eleanore. Here the bread course is your traditional english muffin, the trout is made confit and the mackerel is served with a deliciously, smoked kipper dashi. 

Just off Leith Walk, ramen bowls share the stage with punchy Asian-influenced small plates at Mirin. The kitchen happily blurs borders – Scottish ingredients meeting chilli oil, miso and citrusy broths. One night it might be hand-ripped noodles with venison ragù; another, dumplings swimming in shiitake broth or monkfish with passionfruit and seaweed.

What started as a small venture by two bakers has now turned into a renown sourdough bakery serving speciality coffee, incredible pastries, and artisan bread. With eight stores if you're looking for sweet fix, or savoury loaf then rest-assured you shouldn't be too far from a Twelve Triangles. 

Seasonal bites, some sell-out pastries and sensational coffee, that' Ante in a nutshell. Perched just below Spry Wines, this daytime restaurant and bakery is our go-to for a spiced honey flat white with a hand laminated pain suisse on the side. The smoked salmon piled high in the seaweed brioche, fennel slaw and pickled cucumber is equally scrumptious. Lunch sorted!
