CafAİs and restaurants

The last decade has seen an upsurge in style, sophistication and good taste in Edinburgh's cafAİs and restaurants.
CafAİ
culture has hit the centre of the city, with tables spilling onto the pavements in the summer, and this has been matched by the rise of a clutch of original, upmarket and stylish
restaurants
, many identifying their cuisine as "contemporary" or "modern Scottish" and championing top-quality meat, game and fish. As with most large British cities, the culinary map of Edinburgh is colourful and global, with long-established Chinese, Indian and Mexican places competing with outlets for Thai, Japanese, North African and Spanish cuisine.
Generally, small
diners
and
bistros
predominate, many adopting a casual French style and offering good-value set menus. Traditional Scottish cooking can still be found at some of the more formal restaurants, and inevitably some tourist-oriented places offer haggis and other classic clichAİs. Edinburgh excels in
vegetarian
restaurants, including a couple of classic Indian vegetarian places, and
seafood
- it's long been a speciality of the Leith waterfront, and you'll now also find a number of great seafood bistros in the centre of town. Other useful information
