Food and drink in Edinburgh

If you’re after a night of pure indulgence, begin with a flavoursome dinner at designer chef Mark Greenaway’s restaurant in the Hawke and Hunter; its east-end hotel occupies five floors of gorgeous Georgian townhouse. Following that, stroll back to the Old Town and stumble, like me, across hidden gem Bramble Bar. It’s a cosy little basement bar where cocktail making becomes an art-form, and you’ll drink spirits from tea – cups. Think Alice in Scottish Wonderland.
