The Basement

Cocktail bar and Mexican eatery (l,d; ££)

Mmm... bean burritos

This popular subterranean spot has become something of an enduring Edinburgh institution, thanks to cheerful staff, a relaxed vibe and tasty Mexican food and drink.

Mains run around £10 and should almost certainly be accompanied by Margarita (£7.50) – though plenty of other cocktails and a big tequila menu tempt.

The drinks are reason enough to visit and you don't need to eat, since half the restaurant is a lounge bar.
