Mary's Milk Bar
@deleteduser665
The line was down the block, but the gelato was worth it! Take your cones and sit on the hill under the castle to people watch while you enjoy your snack.

The Doric Tavern
@deleteduser665
We heard the Doric has some of the best fish and chips and it didn't disappoint! Book a table in advance in the restaurant upstairs and then move to the bar downstairs for drink and live music.

Brewhemia
@deleteduser665
The cutest place with a bar and restaurant downstairs and an afternoon tea room upstairs. They also have a gentlemans tea option for those who want a heartier option.

What to Do:

Calton Hill
@deleteduser665
worth it for the views, but wear comfortable shoes! My feet were dying by the time we made it to the end. It's not a long distance but it's uphill with lots of steps.
