Easily one of the best Japanese in Edinburgh (and we're kind of food snobs). An unassuming looking place, cash only and tiny. Book if you can. Oh, and did we mention it's BYOB?!

Neighborhoods

Lots of nice wine bars/ coffee shops/restaurants and historic architecture. Edinburgh in a nutshell, yet feels like a village. The farmer's market on a Sunday is well worth a look.

Check out the heart of Old town - Greyfriar's Bobby, the Elephant Cafe (where JK Rowling wrote the Harry Potter books), a Burke and Hare tour, some of the tartan and cashmere outlets or just one of the many pubs.
