I've tried plenty of Edinburgh restaurants' set menus, and these are the absolute best

Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... There is no phrase as beautiful as prix fixe. We love this style of dining, as there's no blindsiding when it comes to blowing your pocket money. Last year, tasting menus were the focus in Edinburgh, but there's currently a return to a simple set menu, with less choice than an a la carte, and a single, usually more palatable, price. It's a package holiday, in food form. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad We've been around the block, and these are a few of our recent favourites. Tapa If you're feeling skint, then this Leith restaurant offers what we'd vouch is the best deal in town. We visited and thought we'd entered a time portal to the Nineties, it was that cheap. For £15pp, if you visit Tuesday to Saturday from noon until 5pm, you can choose from two tapas, with choices including Iberian black pig cheeks with manchego and truffle oil infused polenta, or fried baby squid with garlic salsa. Included in the price, you also get padron peppers and patatas mixta in abundance. 19 Shore Place, Edinburgh (0131 576 6776, Those looking for a weekday set lunch should try this fab restaurant, which is in the former premises of long term burger joint resident Bell's Diner and is owned by Dale Mailley, formerly of The Lookout and Gardener's Cottage. For just £14.95, you can have bread, olives and saucisse seche, followed by a main course like ling, mussels and sweet cicely, bistro salad and dripping chips, all rounded off by a dreamy dish of strawberries, clotted cream and honeycomb. You can't say fairer than that. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 7 St Stephen Street, Edinburgh, We thought we'd died and gone to heaven when we tried the £49 lunch menu at this glorious restaurant, where top chef Roberta Hall McCarron is spinning the pots. It's £49pp for three courses, with a set starter and dessert, and two choices of main - current St Bride's guinea fowl with Alsace bacon and girolles, or Chalk Stream trout, tempura broccoli and watercress. Add matched wines for £39pp. Or, go big with the £95pp for five courses menu, and add vino for another £65. Go on. It's a great value experience that isn't easily forgotten 14 Bonnington Road, Edinburgh (0131 556 6600, It's not cheap to eat in one of Edinburgh's most sybaritic dining rooms. However, you can get the five-star hotel treatment for £99 if you sign up to their new three-course menu, which includes a choice of three starters, two mains and three desserts, and is bookended by canapes, plus bread and butter, then a visit from their renowned sweetie trolley. The menu might include dishes such as hand-dived scallop, garden pea and Ayrshire bacon, and Shetland halibut, artichoke, red pepper marmalade and courgette. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 1 Princes Street, Edinburgh (0131 557 6727, The Abbeyhill sister restaurant to Edinburgh's lauded Timberyard recently launched a fantastic lunchtime set menu, at £25 for two courses, £30 for three. It's available Friday to Sunday, and includes a starter of St Bride's chicken and ham hock terrine, followed by mussel spaghettini, tomatoes and nduja, with ricotta ice cream, strawberry and fig leaf for pud. That pasta dish is very boot-filling, but if you really want them to have to roll you out, you can add on optional pre-starter snacks that include a haggis dauphine with black garlic and walnut (£4) or Cumbrae oyster, horseradish and elderflower (£4), among other things 1-7 Montrose Terrace, Edinburgh (0131 605 0088, Contributed Five set courses for £30pp sounds like an excellent deal to us. We're not sure how they keep the prices so rock bottom, at this Edinburgh Festival pop-up restaurant from Modou Diagne, of Glasgow's Trust by Modou and 111 by Modou. Expect a blind set tasting menu, and you can add matching drinks for a further £28. They're in situ on evenings only until August 24. Catch them before they disappear into the ether. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Somewhere by Nico, 39a Charlotte Lane, Edinburgh, The Sunday roast - especially the porchetta option - at this box fresh Stockbridge brasserie is out of this world. However, if you're visiting on a weekday evening from 4-6pm, you can take advantage of their new offer of two courses for £25 or three for £28. This Evening Darling menu includes classic dishes like prawn cocktail, steak frites and lemon posset. Also, we're not sure if it counts as a set menu, as it's just one course, but they're also doing a Workers' Lunch on weekdays, 12-3pm, which features mains such as Arbroath Smokie fish pie, with roast carrots, broccoli and salsa verde. 16-18 Hamilton Place, Edinburgh (0131 563 0404, Contributed Another Stockie favourite, this Italian wine bar and restaurant is offering one course for £16, two for £22 or £26 for three, from its set lunch menu, which has two choices per course. We'd definitely swither over the main courses of mezze maniche pasta, with tomato, aubergine, basil, salted ricotta, or the breaded chicken breast, with lemon crushed new potatoes and aioli. There are two other crowd pleasers for pudding - the affogato, or panna cotta with Amarena cherries and crushed amaretti. The set lunch menu can be paired with Sotto's lunchtime only Coravin at Cost picks - where a selected bottle of wine from Sotto's cellar is poured by the glass at cost price.

Local outrage as topless Brit tourist caught riding cow in Tenerife
Shoppers were left stunned when the holidaymaker decided to mount the life-sized model bovine outside a popular Ale-Hop store in Playa Fañabé, Costa Adeje, causing consternation among locals Anglo-Iberian relations have taken another dent after a British man rode a well-known cow in Tenerife. Shoppers were left stunned when the holidaymaker decided to mount the life-sized model bovine outside a popular Ale-Hop store in Playa Fañabé, Costa Adeje. With the help of one of his two friends, the man was spotted climbing onto the plastic cow's back before bellowing, 'Yeehaw!' Within seconds, alarmed employees of a nearby shop ran over to remove the man from the cow. They then had to ensure that the tourists didn't steal the cow. It comes after 'the King of Benidorm' warned that Brits make the same mistake when the visit the city. The shop employees calmed the man, who had declared himself a "real cowboy", according to Canarian Weekly. He gave up on his attempts to remove the cow after giving it one big tug on its horns. The incident has caused ire among locals, who have been left unimpressed by the daytime antics. "It's called disrespect, but well, that's already normalized, like so many things," one wrote beneath a post online including the video. Another wrote: "That's the kind of tourism they send to the Canary Islands. It's like this everywhere, and then the British press is surprised by the protests that take place." The incident is not the first cow-related shock to cause alarm on the Canary island. Back in 2019, tourists visiting Tenerife were left baffled by the sight of dead cows floating in the sea and being washed up onto the beaches. The animals were spotted in areas popular for Brits over a seven-day period. One cow was washed up on the tourist beach of Playa de La Jaquita near the coastal resort of El Médano. Council workers were called to dispose of the carcass. The cow corpses came from freighters loaded with live cattle, which travelled from South America. Such boats are forbidden from mooring at some ports in Europe, including Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. If and when cows die during the crossing, they are tossed overboard. When it comes to alcohol-related incidents that have caused strife between Spaniards and Brits, there are plenty. Late-night brawls that have spilled onto the streets of Playa de las Américas have been a regular occurrence, as have visitors leaping into hotel pools fully clothed. A group of holidaymakers were fined for climbing onto a parked police car for photos back in 2023, around the same time that a stag party blocked traffic by staging an impromptu conga line over a busy roundabout in Costa Adeje.

'This Edinburgh restaurant's lasagne is on another level'
In Spring 2025, Brett and his team officially opened Ondine at Seaton House in St Andrews, a brand-new luxury 5-star hotel overlooking the West Sands and the famous Old Course. The hotel has also recently launched 'Sundays at Seaton House', serving an exclusive three-course Sunday lunch menu at Ondine Oyster & Grill while live music fills the Bow Butts bar space. This week, Brett takes on our chef Q&A: What was your first kitchen job? My first kitchen job was washing dishes in the evenings after school. Where is your favourite place to eat out? Padstow Kitchen Garden in Cornwall. My dear friend and chef/farmer cooks incredible lunches and dinners from his barns in Padstow. We enjoyed the best Lobster ever cooked over coals on a Green Egg overlooking the camel Estuary. The vegetables and salad were picked and prepared all from his garden – incredible! What is your guilty pleasure meal? The Beef Shin Lasagne at Aemilia in Portobello in Edinburgh is on another level. Kip and Giada make the best Artisan produce around. Can you share a memory of your worst kitchen disaster? There are far too many to mention. What is your signature dish? It would have to be our very own Ondine's Hot Roasted Shellfish Platter, White Wine Garlic and Parsley Broth. It has been on the menu now for over 18 years, inspired by Mark Hix and Rick Stein. Who would you say is your biggest inspiration? It would have to be the late Ken McCulloch. His attention to detail, high standards and genuine love for hospitality inspired generations. He was always immaculate, very demanding yet always rewarding. A great man. Read more: What is one of your pet peeves working as a chef? It would have to be missing out on quality family time. If you weren't a chef, what do you think you'd be doing with your life? Hopefully retired! What's your favourite trick for making cooking at home easier? Batch cooking and always being prepared for the week ahead. Preparing food that can be eaten hot or cold. What has been the one highlight that stands out in your career so far? There have been many highlights over the last four decades. I have been lucky enough to work with many inspirational leaders. Working with the Stein family was very rewarding, as was working under Mark Hix at Le Caprice in London, which was also very special. Yet opening Ondine in Edinburgh was the one.
