This is an excellent Chinese restaurant and takeaway, as perhaps evidenced by the people of Chinese ethnicity who are always eating here. Specialising in Hong Kong delicacies the prices are very reasonable and you can see the food being cooked in the open super clean kitchen by half a dozen chefs.

Drinks & Nightlife
Known locally by its' original name 'The Diggers', this is a traditional Victorian pub with high ceilings, big windows and is well lit with old-style lighting and comfy seats. They have an excellent range of beers and claim to serve the best traditional pies (snacks) of any pub in Edinburgh. (The large tv screens play sporting events with the sound off - very genteel).
WHISKY! Best of all is their whisky collection, offering hundreds of choices and with a special selection of a few dozen whiskies at only £2.50 for a full size Scottish dram. That's a lot less than half the price for similar whiskies on the Royal Mile or even in the pubs on islands like Islay!
