Bertie's Proper Fish & Chips
9 Victoria StThe place to go for fish and chips! Full menu of quality foods including handmade pies, seafood, vegetarian & vegan dishes. Great venue & atmosphere on iconic Victoria Street, very close to the flat.
On the first floor, you’ll find a pizza and prosecco bar, while the top deck features an open air terrace and views of Edinburgh Castle. It’s a very lively place, better to go for drinks rather than a full meal.

It's called Makar’s Gourmet Mash Bar, not The Crafter's Barn...
9 North Bank Street; www.makars-rest.com
A makar is a term from Scottish literature for a poet or bard. Great place, close to the Writer’s Museum. This restaurant serves comfort food at its finest. Great vegetarian choices too. I highly recommend a drink they serve which is Edinburgh Gin flavoured with Scottish raspberries and Prosecco.
There are two locations, my favourite is at 9 North Bank Street, close to the Writer's Museum. There is another location at 91 Shandwick Place, just west of Princes Street.
