For artistic and innovative cuisine in chic, minimalist
surroundings, choose The Little Chartoom. The
exquisite, intimate venue features nautical inspired
design: cream tongue and groove wall coverings,
whitewashed brick, navy blue upholstered bench
seating, dark wood table and chairs and bare
tungsten-style lighting. Presentation is key here.
Meals are served in pottery and earthenware, their
artisan ingredients carefully arranged for a visual and
taste experience. The menu is seasonal and kept
small, to ensure the highest quality of exciting local
and produce. Examples of recent dishes include
mallard breast, cod with kale and clams and creative
meat-free options such as charred onions with
polenta, sprouting broccoli and spinach. Foodies can
enjoy brunch on Sundays, lunch from Wednesday
to Saturday and evening meals from Wednesday to
Sunday. The Little Chartroom provides delectable
dining in an understated environment.

Le Bistrot is the perfect stop-off after a day at
Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street Gardens, the
Grassmarket or Palace of Holyroodhouse. All of
these attractions are within walking distance of
this chic but smart elegantly lit gem known for
its warm, informal service and innovative food.
Imagine a wine bar on a cobbled side street of
Paris where the locals in the know go for great
food and wines by the carafe and glass at a price
that makes them feel good. Well, Le Bistrot is
like that - only on The Royal Mile. The food here
has tastes and textures to match the exquisite
presentation. Wonderful combinations come
together in starters such as king prawns served
in a creamy almond sauce and mains such as a
delightful French version of shepherd’s pie (lamb
mince, mashed potatoes, comte cheese) served
with mixed salad.
