My favourite Spanish place in Edinburgh, one of the best I've had the pleasure to enjoy in Britain. If you crave Churros with chocolate - you can actually get authentic ones here!

Our local Greek deli - quirky decor, great coffee, gorgeous Greek pies and pastries baked daily. They do sandwiches and such but really their fresh baklava is divine. They do it to sit in and to take away -very handy when you are catching a bus into town!

This is one of the smaller (I think only 6 tables) always highly rated restaurants with local, fresh and seasonal produce. Innovative and unique. Book in advance!

A must for a Sunday. A little market but right in the middle of a foodie area - there are so many great cafes and restaurants around - it's a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Plenty of quirky second hand book/ music shops to pick up a bargain nearby.

I believe this is the largest market in Edinburgh, every Saturday till about 1pm. Great selection of local meats, breads, fruit and vegetables. And a wonderful atmosphere too - often a band/ musician in place too all in the shadow of the castle.

They have both a restaurant and a cafe with a tempting selection of cakes. Gorgeous French food. I do love their Thistle street brunch - they also tend to go slightly more gourmet but it is a smaller place ( close to Princess Street)

Not to everyone's taste in terms of this being a modern piece of architecture! Lovely to sit outside int he summer with the Salisbury Craig to the right. A lot of controversy with the locals, so interesting from that point of view too. It is cross the road from Holyrood Palace and often has exhibitions inside.

Does it for some, if it is your cup of tea. Gets you out of the town centre and into the Ocean Terminal - which is a shopping centre with a huge cinema. So good for rainy day.

More designer and upmarket shops than the main hubbub of Princess Street. Anthropologie is a personal highlight. Head to Thistle Street for great local foodie restaurants. This street is alive at night with a few trendy bars and clubs. Check out the Dome for Christmas too!

The other side of town from Leith, still a lovely area to visit with a unique vibe. Local boutique and craft shops, cornucopia of bakeries and desert places, great drinking night spots. and a lovely local atmosphere. Pick up a beer or an ice cream and sit outside at Brunstfield Links to enjoy. Or even have a game of golf!

This is an Edinburgh institution. A great independent health food store - with a wonderful range or food from local producers, bakers and farms. If you are after wholesome, healthy or even health supplements that are not on the high street - this is the place to go for. Amazing choice.

It's not as hard a climb as you think - as there is a paved walkway, so can even take a stroller. You get gorgeous views of Edinburgh. Great in the evening to see Princess Street lit up. Would not recommend in strong winds, though. You'd rarely feel so uncomfortable :-)

Stroll the length of Princess Street without bumping into hundreds of people! It is very tranquil, especially since it is our city centre! Have a picnic under the castle, have a ride on the carousel near the fountain, feed the squirrels on the flower clock - gets you a break from the crowds. And during the summer the Ross Bandstand often have live free performances on.
