Edinburgh has a vast number of restaurants cafes & pubs, and quite a few theatres & cinemas and even late-night clubs too.

This guide is targeted at those on a city break, so only skims the surface of what's available, with choices based on convenience to attractions, personal preference and a place's reputation.

No businesses have paid to be in this app, so all recommendations are fully independent.

The List

If you are in town for longer or have specific tastes, be sure to scour The List, a bi-weekly arts and entertainments magazine. It's the best local what's-on publication and though it has a great website, perusing a paper copy, bought from a local newsagent, is hard to beat. Foodies should pick up it's annual magazine-format Eating & Drinking Guide.
