Walking on the beautiful Victoria Street, friends will definitely be attracted by this Oink fast food restaurant. There is a whole pig placed at the door of this Oink. Ordering is very simple. Choose the size and bread, and you will get a roast pork burger wrapped in tin foil. It is cheap, delicious and has a beautiful view. It is very close to the castle.
A restaurant specializing in roast suckling pig, they put the pork in bread and make it like a hamburger. The method is a bit similar to the roujiamo in Xi'an, but the pig skin here is very hard, the meat is a bit chopped, and there are no vegetables.

Verified user reviews
This ice cream shop is quite cheap, but the ice cream is too sweet. It is completely different from the ones in China. My kids like it very much. There are many flavors to choose from, and they are all sweet.
A local milk ice cream shop. The prices are quite cheap, only a few dollars for an ice cream, which is about the same price as Starbucks. The taste is very good, and the ice cream has a strong milk flavor.

Papii is a local restaurant famous for its fusion cuisine. If you want to eat Western food, they also have options. If you want to eat Chinese food, you can also choose it.
Eating waffles for breakfast in the UK is a very traditional thing. This waffle shop is very famous. The shop’s special sauce tastes very good. The British milk tea and black tea have a strong flavor.

Attracts food lovers who make special trips to try the specialty chicken wings available in multiple flavors
Verified user reviews
This is a barbecue restaurant. The grilled chicken wings there taste very good. The decoration is a bit like a haunted house, which is quite alternative. The barbecue tastes so-so, and the beef is just okay.
This shop specializes in fried chicken wings, which taste good. The sauce tastes a bit like Korean fried chicken, spicy, and tastes good. The spiciness is very comfortable. Then I bought beer at the supermarket next door, which went great with the food.

We came at a wrong time, there was no bread, only meat, so we had Scottish mincemeat, but it tasted good.
This Roujiamo tastes really good, the skin is bread instead of steamed bun, it tastes really good

Because the hotel did not include breakfast, I came to the Piemaker for breakfast on the recommendation of a local friend. Their bread varieties are very diverse.
The Piemaker is a very famous local dessert shop. I personally think the coffee and bread in this shop are quite good, and the flavor of each one suits my taste very well.

A local favorite for fluffy, picture-perfect waffles
Verified user reviews
The food is super delicious and there are many varieties. Waffles are recommended.
In addition to visiting the castle, churches, and ancient streets, you can also taste English afternoon tea when traveling to Edinburgh. If you have tried all of the above, you can also look for other unique restaurants.
The city cafe is located on the Royal Mile in the old town of Edinburgh. It is an American restaurant with nostalgic decoration and an old-fashioned coin-operated record player.
Order a strawberry cheesecake and a lemon tart, which are sour and sweet, and adjust the fatigue of the trip. It's good.
