Meticulously designed, The Pavillion is a blend between boutique hotel and house. A home away from home, architects Nick Groves-Raines and Kristín Hannesdóttir, have created an oasis of a house within a 17th century building. Archetypically British, but with a Scandi colour palette, the three bedroom Pavillion is a place for lovers or families alike. 

Down on the Shore, Brown's of Leith is less a single venue and more a lively little ecosystem. Set inside a revived engineering warehouse, it brings together indie food favourites – Civerinos pizza, Shrimpwreck’s seafood-heavy Shuck Bar and the wine-leaning Haze counter – around big communal tables and lofty industrial windows. It’s dog-friendly, open all day and buzzy: coffee in the morning, oysters and natural wine by evening, with artists’ studios and creative spaces filling the floors above.

At Haze, the mood shifts from morning espresso to early-evening wine bar without missing a beat. Run by the team behind Timberyard and Montrose, this relaxed all-day spot inside Brown's of Leith pairs specialty coffee with a tight menu of snacky, European-leaning plates, such as charcuterie, cheeses and excellent tinned fish. Natural wines, industrial warehouse light and a sociable central bar give it that easy, continental café energy. Come for a quick flat white; linger for orange wine and nduja toast (and if you're lucky, ice-cream sandwiches).

A macaroon (but make it savory), partridge ravioli topped with golden trompette mushrooms and salt baked golden beetroot perfectly paired with black truffle and burrata. The combinations may be unusual, though trust Martin Wishart to make it work.
