Monteiths Bar
Described as a Scottish Bar, but its very ‘chic’ your can order a pint with some tasty bar food like tracle duck breast with baked plum and raspberries or just plain old Haggis Spring rolls with chilli sauce.

Bit more upmarket than you local pub. This place has a great relaxed feel in a contemporary but not pretentious pub environment.

Bisque Bar Brasserie
Open early and late and serving all day. I like this place as it welcomes children with a 'healthyish' menu for £5.75. There also free internet access. Bar food, breafast, lunch and dinner. Your alrounder.

Harvey Nicols 4th Floor
as you would expect its sleek, trendy and glittering and a menu to match. Light meals, coffee and snacks are all accommodated throughout the day and the evening offers a more elegant dining experience with night views across Edinburgh via the glass ceiling to floor windows. My 'Tuna Tartare' was perfect and my partner’s grilled Oban scallops with red and orange pepper served with dill and parsley ensured a light lunchtime meal; served quickly and without fuss. I could only admire the desert menu of Sticky Date Pudding, carrot cake and a berry cheesecake, maybe tomorrow just coffee and cake! Located in the elegant St. Andrew Square its a great place to relax after shopping, afterwards the food hall provides more temptation! Open for Lunch and Dinner.
