Bars & Restaurants

Oloroso – Castle St (just off George St) central bar & restaurant with great roof terrace, not the friendliest of entrances, at street level it looks like the entrance to an office block; but take the list to the 3rd floor and things improve.

Cafe Andaluz – branch on George St.

The Dome – George St, there is also a terrace cafe at the rear of The Dome, down some steps from Rose St, see below.

Having ordered an early lunch, the heavens opened and within minutes we were all sheltering under cover. The staff were incredibly efficient at sorting all this out.
‘Does this happen often’, I asked.
The response, ‘Oh, about three times a day’.

Dubh Prais – Scottish restaurant on the Royal Mile (opp SAS Radisson), small sign at street level (of a black cauldron) as the restaurant in the basement.
