However, Edinburgh Live has got some of the latest restaurant openings and events right here, so you don't have to do the searching. Check it out below. Herringbone Herringbone Barnton will officially welcome customers in on Friday, May 16, at 9am with the finishing touches currently being carried out. General Manager Chris Robinson, a Barnton local himself, said: 'We're super excited to finally be opening the doors to our new Herringbone venue and to showcase to the public our warm and welcoming space. Food will be served from 9am daily, with full breakfasts, coffees, breakfast bowls, toasted croissants, avocado on toast, and much more available. New Hill Station The New Hill Station, an Indian and Bangladeshi restaurant, is set to open its doors in Edinburgh on May 15. The owners of The New Hill Station have teased the opening, sharing that they are "can't wait" to welcome in locals for traditional curries, tandoori and fresh naan at 99 Comiston Road in Morningside. Edinburgh Vegan Festival On May 17, the Edinburgh College Granton Campus is holding the Edinburgh Vegan Festival. The 'vegan extravaganza' will boast over 80 stalls including caterers, cakes, dairy and meat alternatives, skincare and beauty, and clothing. Moulin Rouge The hit show has been at the Playhouse since May 10, and is still running until June 14. Tickets are still available for the production, which was branded 'a feast for the eyes' by the Daily Record. They added: "Right from the opening scene there was an explosion of colour and movement and the choreography was utterly insane." Cocktails at Somewhere by Nico Coming to an end on May 11, there's still time to squeeze in a drink at the cocktail festival being held at Somewhere by Nico. The festival will serve up £5 cocktails, including classics and signature specials. Somewhere by Nico's operations Manager Abigail Barr said: "Somewhere has always been about escapism - a place to dine, drink, and discover through food and drink. "We've created an incredible space in Glasgow & Edinburgh, and this Cocktail Festival is our way of inviting the city in to experience it. Whether you're stopping by for after-work drinks, weekend celebrations, or a spontaneous night out, we want Somewhere to be your go-to destination." Bongo's Bingo A unique night out, Bongo's Bingo is being held at Edinburgh's Corn Exchange on May 17 and May 30. Organisers said: "Bongo's Bingo, the award-winning original bingo rave phenomenon, returns. A twist on the traditional game, expect rave intervals, dance-offs, sing-a-longs, big prizes and loads of surprises. Tickets sell out fast, so don't hang around." Disco Days Longing to get back on the dancefloor but can't stay up past 10pm? Problem sorted. Club Tropicana is hosting Disco Days - and you don't even need to find a babysitter. They're being held on May 24 and May 31, from 2.30pm until 7.30pm. Organisers said: "Get ready for Disco Days; clubbing like it used to be! Look out your best gear, dress to impress and remember, it's for over 30s! "No need to worry about babysitters, late night transport or not getting a good night's sleep! Come along for a boogie to all your favourite floorfilling classics from yesteryear, relive your youth and dance the day away!" Top chefs favourite Edinburgh spots If you're still looking for somewhere to eat, renowned chefs Jimmy Lee and Kaori Simpson named their favourite spots in the capital. Among them were Little Capo, Nixo's Greek Street Food, Margot in Bruntsfield, and Konj Persian Cafe.
