The Edinburgh University King's Buildings have absolutely no decent food places at all... which is atrocious, given that it houses all the science subjects. The Braidburn Inn is the only restaurant within walking distance and is an enjoyable alternative to packed lunch. We tend to bring guests here if they visit our offices.

Good old-fashioned food, but with more variety and display than a typical country pub. I've even seen people eat the liver and enjoy it.

Open later than most pubs in Edinburgh during the week, but I'd not suggest it if there was an option... tends to be full of old dodgy smelly drunks.

Smelly bar with no music and a good selection of real ales.

Completely average food, but don't expect to get it at the same time as the rest of your table if they are busy. It really is the simplest way to ruin a meal.

I was part of fi70's group of 6, don't have much more to add, it went down just like that!

Really out of the way, but a fantastic pub with a good drinks selection and nice big tables. http://cumberlandbar.co.uk/

The Textperts took us (ThinkTank) out when we visited and it blew me away... this is the best Chinese food I've ever eaten.

No MSG in any of the food, fantastic vegetarian options. All the meats are so soft and perfectly cooked.

A bit rubbish really... but I must admit I'd addicted to American BBQ sauce and the Filling Station is one of the only places in Edinburgh that fuels this twisted desire of mine.

I've been twice and had a really good meal both times. Good quality and slightly experimental menu manages to fuse Scottish, Chinese, Irish and Thai food into a single starter.

They stock Delheim wine from South Africa... my favourite and the first time I've been able to get hold of it in the UK!

Unfortunately, as it is a hotel restaurant the atmosphere is not that great so I'd find it hard to give more than 4/5.

The pianist has mimed the last 3 times I've been (I was dragged along) and they pack people in like sardines. Which would be nice if "everybody" meant 21 year old supermodels, but sadly the typical age group is around that "mid life crisis" zone.

The door staff are the kind that always seem to find a fight to break up at closing time.

Stay away at all costs! Unless you're a fire inspector, in which case you should be there closing them down for good!
