Stac Polly is my recommendation. I’ve only been to the Grindlay Street branch but it does inspire confidence. It’s the sort of place I’d say is ideal for groups AND romantic meals for two as the layout gives you the feeling of intimacy. The décor is understated and the staff helpful but not over-egging it as in some high-class restaurants, like say, The Tower or Browns.
Namaste just off George IV Bridge and Guru in Dalry are up there for Indian food where you actually taste the food, not just super-hot spices or a bland creamy sauce.
For Sushi there are a couple of choices, I’d go for Sushiya just up from Haymarket train station but I’ve been told No.1 Sushi on Lothian Road is worth checking out.
I’m looking for suggestions on some good Thai restaurants – any tips?
