I go by here a bit too often. They make the most delicious artisan pizzas, as well as salads. Including dairy free and options. I usually stroll past and grab a slice or two (usually about £3 per slice).

Drinks & Nightlife

You'd walk right past it if you didn't know it was a bar, it looks like an old barber shop. Enter front door, walk down the stairs and pull back the bookshelf which opens as the door to the bar.

Parks & Nature

This is my absolute favourite walk. It takes about five minutes to get here from our flat and you can then walk either way along the waters for hours. Head West towards the Edinburgh Galleries of Modern Art (about 15 minute walk) or East towards Stockbridge market (20 mins) or 90 mins towards Leith.
