The Best Places in Greenside & around

Champagne trolley upstairs, ageing fridges stocked with charcuterie and top-end seafood, then down to grey velvet and white linen for the tasting menu, which is Stuart Ralston's idea of unapologetic fine dining and he means it. The 28-seat room holds a Michelin star and a spot on the National Restaurant Awards list, and the kitchen leans heavily into sustainably caught fish and shellfish, letting the produce do most of the arguing.

Neon-lit and loud in the best way, this Asian-inspired sharing plates bistro on Broughton Street pulls you in off the street and dares you not to over-order. Cocktails flow, the counter fills fast, and the menu skips between fried chicken karaage and apple pie gyozas with cheerful disregard for restraint. The Michelin Guide has it on their list, which surprises no one who's been. Come hungry and bring someone willing to split everything.

Exposed stonework and soft lighting set the mood in this wine bar and restaurant housed in a converted old inn near the Palace of Holyroodhouse, from the team behind Timberyard. The wine list leans into lesser-known regions, and the sharing plates are built to match something interesting in the glass. A stool at the ground-floor bar counter is the right call if you can get one.

A Parisian wine bar transplanted to Broughton Street, with bistro cooking that pairs French classics and Scottish produce with the occasional Mediterranean detour. The set lunch includes wine, which is either very civilised or a very good reason to cancel your afternoon. Downstairs sits Vivien, a speakeasy-style cocktail bar, in case one concept wasn't enough. Stuart Ralston runs the room, and the room is cosy without trying too hard about it.

The dough sits for up to 60 hours before it sees the oven, which tells you most of what you need to know about Razzo. It's a small Neapolitan pizza restaurant near Leith, serious about its flour, its fresh yeast, its imported tomatoes and anchovies, and not much else. The room is simple, every table in plain view, Italian music in the background. Book ahead on weekends, and consider bringing a bottle.

A Neapolitan pizza shop on the fourth floor of a shopping centre, which sounds like a setup for disappointment but isn't. The dough ferments for 24 hours and comes out of a 500-degree oven with proper char and plenty of tomato. Classics share the menu with weekend specials that lean into curious combinations. Spritz cocktails, a short wine list, and a relaxed room that fills with tourists and locals who didn't plan too hard.
