Probably the best sushi in Edinburgh. Just round the corner, they can be busy so you might have to book. Alternatively, they are just round the corner so we used to order food then go round and collect it (they dont deliver).

Our local pub
The pub just across the road is a fantastic little local bar. They don't usually allow stag parties or hen parties in so it keeps quite a relaxed vibe. They pride themselves on their selection of rums as well so definitely worth a visit.

Sightseeing
This is a fantastic space right down the road from our flat. (take a left out of the door and walk down the hill past the small roundabout, then up the hill slightly, keep an eye out for a small gate on the left, that will take you down into the gardens) It is a beautiful park in its own right, and also a great shortcut to Princes Street and beyond. It used to be my walk to work in the morning!
