Our first day in Edinburgh and as usual our first order of business is to ride the hop-on-hop-off…read morebus. Today when the Red route took us to old town and I saw The White Hart Inn I said to Jan let's do an early dinner there and she agreed. We continued the route and stayed on back to the stop in old town. We love Alfresco dining but it was too cold and windy today. We went inside and the restrauant was packed. It's open seating. No hostess, no sign in. We were lucky and just happened to be standing next to a table that opened. We had been there about 5 minutes. The restaurant/ pub is rich in history, established in 1516. It's small with limited bar seating and prehaps 8 to 10 tables. It is noisy from conversation, tosting and music, but we didn't have a hard time communicating. It has a great vibe. It's a fun venue and popular with the locals. The menu is not large and has several Scottish offerings. To start, Jan was cold and wanted an Irish coffee. I ordered an Innis and Gunn larger. Innis & Gunn is an acclaimed Scottish brewery founded in 2003 in Edinburgh. It had a slightly citrus flavor. Jan ordered muscles and I ordered the steak and ale pie, served with a charred Hispi cabbage wedge, buttered mash and Merlot beef dripping gravy. It was very tasty, very robust flavor. I loved the cabbage; great flavor. I had to look up hispi cabbage and it is a variety of green cabbage. The muscles were good and the broth very nice. We had a lovely time and a good meal. Our good luck at freelancing dining venues while we explore Ireland and Scotland continues.

Food for a Fiver list:…read more Steak Salad - £5 or Turkey Burger £4.50 There are others, but this is what I usually get - Teviot is a great student union building. It looks medieval on the outside, and no linoleum or florescent lights on the inside. It's basically a few bars and multi-purpose rooms, so if you need to meet up or have an event on campus, its a great place. Library Bar is probably the favorite, it's definitely the default one we go to. The sports one is great for matches and something like the Superbowl. Gets busy, so service can take some time, but it's not too bad. Looks great, cheap booze, cheap but decent food. It's just what students want.

Fond memories and so happy to see this place rise once again from the ashes. I've visted several times for a coffee and often have one of their large Pain au raisins........much larger than any others in Edinburgh ! The staff are all very pleasant and I really love the laid back atmospphere in this new and much improved building. The builders did a really splendid job of the renovation.

Amazing brunch spot in Edinburgh…read more The reviews to this little spot do not lie. The brunch food was incredibly high quality and had the right amount of Scottish twang. I had a mocha to go along with my meal which was smooth and sweet. For the main, I "built my own bear". I went with 2 eggs poached with granary toast, bacon, pork sausage, black pudding, and a hash brown. It was a large amount of food for good value. During my short stay here I visited twice. It was just that good.

My omnivorous dining companions were just as pleased with their selections as well. The pancakes looked super fluffy and beautifully presented, stacked high with all sorts of fresh and candied fruits. Even the scones are something special, glossy on the top and packed full of plump sultanas. We made reservations but it doesn't seem necessary if you go for breakfast. It was pretty quiet and easy to get a prime table right away.
