    Crombie's is a darn impressive butcher located on Broughton Street. I come here when I want to feel…read morefancy at dinner time (and when I have the cash to spend). I've bought an amazing lamb rack, steaks, sausages and short ribs from here. All of which have been outstanding. Firstly, the sausages. Crombie's are famous for them! And they are delicious. Well worth the trip just to stock up on sausages. Everything else, the quality of the meet has been great. I've recently purchased a sous vide machine so anything that can be slow cooked for hours is going from Crombie's butcher straight into my machine for hours on end. One thing, it's expensive compared to what you'd get from the grocery stores. I've found the quality to be way better but be warned- it might put a dent in your wallet. Great selection of marinades, ready to cook pies and other savoury pastries, and service is always friendly and helpful.

    Crombie's is the best butcher in Edinburgh and luckily it is located just around the corner from my…read moreflat, hurrah! If you mention this place to any self respecting Edinburgh carnivore, they should acknowledge you with a contented sigh ("ahhhh, Crombie's") and a wistful look in their eye. Their sausages are widely regarded as amongst the best in the UK and they supply lots of local restaurants with them to keep the punters happy. There are many different varieties to choose from and they range from the traditional (pork, chipolatas, Scotch beef) to the exotic (boar, pork and stilton is an inspired and tasty combination). Asides from sausages, they do the usual butcher cuts of meat (steaks, lamb etc) and meals for you to heat at home if you can't be bothered cooking. Most of the meat is locally sourced and everything is incredibly good quality. It's just a shame that they close at 5.30pm, far too early for those of us with office jobs.

    I so want to give Whitmuir five stars as I love the place so much, yet they always seem chronically…read moreunderstaffed, resulting in the service being a little... well, let's say "laid back" at times. But don't let that put you off, just make sure you allow plenty of time if you are coming to eat. Situated in the middle of nowhere, they are a fully organic farm selling their own meat and veg, with a fantastic range of other organic products in their farm shop; and they also use nearly all their own produce in their lovely cafe. If you are passing, make a point of stopping off here to browse in the shop or have a snack. If you are on the south side of Edinburgh, it's only 20 minutes or so in the car to get here and is well worth the effort. I had a couple of hours free, so I drove out from Edinburgh for lunch. On the menu, the hake and fennel fishcakes caught my eye, so I ordered those with some sweet potato wedges on the side. The fishcakes were delicious (even if they did have to buy those in), as were the sweet potato wedges. With a Belvoir ginger beer to wash it down, I was well satisfied. As I wasn't in a rush, I decided to follow with a slice of polenta cake and a coffee. The cake was a little on the dry side - I guess maybe polenta cake isn't their best-seller - and the coffee, although perfectly fine, was maybe not the best I've ever had. But the place was quiet, and for under £20 it was a pretty reasonable and high-quality lunch. So do go and patronise this place, they are doing wonders on a shoestring to promote organic farming practices and food; it so deserves your support. They do home delivery organic veg boxes too - what are you waiting for?

    On a serious note, I live just down the road and they have a pretty nice collie dog, they let me…read morefeed the chickens once, but the organic coke isn't great so I rate it 4 stars
