    Just an awesome, rockin' final meal in Edinburgh - fantastic food, good service and energized local…read morevibe! Absolute must to get reservations! We tried on our first week in Edinburgh and failed, but were able to make reservations 3 weeks out for our last night in Scotland, and we are glad we did. Pork cracklins were a bit hard and crunchy, but everything else was perfect. We had fresh bread and langostinis for starters, along with a smokey whiskey cocktail, the Smoked Indiscretion! For mains we enjoyed the poached Cod, and the Pork with Barley. Service was very good, and wine selection was extensive. Atmosphere was loud with music and locals' chatter in the bar below, but dark tables and heavy wood panels made it a perfect place for a couple celebrating 3 weeks of travel. Highly recommend a visit to the Devil's Advocate, if you can book a table in advance.

    The Devil's Advocate is undoubtedly a treasure to find in Old Town Edinburgh, especially if you…read moreaccidentally take the News Steps to get there, only to realize you should have simply taken the steps up Advocate's Close from Cockburn Street. But they call these lessons, "character building," apparently. No matter, the Devil's Advocate is worth the search. Located in an old Victorian pump house halfway up (or down) Advocate's Close, the Devil's Advocate is known for a killer whisky shelf of more than 300 different bottles from various distilleries across the Highlands, Lowlands, Speyside, Campbelltown, the Islands, and Islay. I finally sipped on a 15-year Tamdu that has convinced me to keep a bottle at home. Then there's the Clydeside 2024 Limited Edition Cask Strength that was wicked impressive. The bartenders are class at making and serving seasonal and regular cocktails that have their spin and character. My wife enjoyed gin-based cocktails such as the Clean Slate (with St-Germain, citrus, and sugar), Rose Garden (with Yellow Chartreuse, Cocchi Rosa, apple, lemon, and mint), and Bee's Knees (honey and lemon). I went full speed ahead with the scotch cocktails, which are essentially classics with a scotch-substituted twist. The Double Shot is an Espresso Martini with Dalmore 12 in addition to Kahlua, espresso, and demerara -- quite smooth without being too sweet. The Scotzia is a Negroni with Fettercairn 12, while the Boxcar is a Sidecar only with Aberfeldy 12. We enjoyed the bar for a few hours, watching the bartenders make magic while sipping on cocktails, while listening to 80s pop tunes. A great evening indeed.

    I came back and had to try the steaks, after watching them go by last time I was in. Coll, my…read moreaffable host for the evening suggested I try the blue cheese rump steak, and boy am I glad I did. I'm normally not one for long reviews, but in this case it's merited :) It has to be one of the best steaks I have had in Edinburgh, and almost matching up to Black and Blue in Vancouver (a compliment I would toss out lightly), I just managed to resist the urge to lick the plate to get the last of the rich blue cheese sauce. Totally worth checking out next time you have the urge to eat steak :) Was out and about looking for somewhere to check out for dinner, and Yelp suggested dropping in here. Very glad I did :) Burger deliciousness, they are giving Bread Meats Bread and Burger Meats Bun a run for their money. They recently renovated I was told. Very nice, friendly service, and a great burger, will have to stop back to check out the steaks I saw going by :)

    Being so close to the main University campus, I'd walked past the pre-revamp Buffalo Grill many…read moretimes, but had always been put off by the shabby decor. Now though, the place looks fantastic with a relaxed Southwestern vibe, some quirky accessories and enough cool grey paint to keep the whole thing from feeling too kitsch. We ate the ribs and wings to start which were great (particularly the wings - perfectly chargrilled) and then both had the Boss Hog burger as our main, myself on a chicken fillet, my partner on a traditional beef burger. Both were great - well cooked and with just the right amount of juiciness. The service we received was attentive without being overbearing - no mean feat as the restaurant was deserted when we first arrived. Overall a great experience, and it's definitely worth checking out if you're in the area!

    Buffalo Grill - Great chicken wing starter, perfect level of spice when eaten alongside the sour cream dip.
