Pakdokter and company only had 5 full days in Edinburgh. Before leaving KL Dollah had asked relatives and friends for recommendation of restaurants in Edinburgh. Edinburgh tourism websites were also checked for eating places.
We managed to make full use of all the nights here to dine at the recommended places.
Pakdokter had reported our nights out at the Dome and the Cafe Royal. On the third night we tried out the '4th Floor' at the Harvey Nichols - a modern fusion restaurant atop this upmarket shopping mall.We could not get a booking for 'the Witchery' - a restaurant which has served stars like Catherine Zeta Jones and Sean Connery. The only time offerred to us was for 11.30 pm!
So we settled for the Cave du Vin - a French restaurant at a boutique hotel lcated near the Edinburgh University. And on the last night we tried out the "Tower" - a great restaurant located at the National Museum of Scotland.
Dollah ( who trained to be a surgeon at the Royal College of Surgeons, Edinburgh) and Sandra, who had lived in Edinburgh for 2 years, some 26 years ago, did not remember the city to be having so many fine restaurants then. They were very happy to rediscover the city during this pilgrimage.
The pictures below were taken at the Cave du Vin.
