The Outsider Restaurant
What the experts agree on
The Outsider wins locals over with its analogue charm, lush rainforest interior, and reasonably priced mains like chorizo and chickpea casserole. Snag the castle-view table if you can.
“This Edinburgh stalwart is known for its rainforest interior (potted ferns in atmospheric dimness) and has a brilliant menu that jumps straight in with mains such as chorizo and chickpea casserole.”
– Lonely Planet
"Proudly analogue in digital times, this locals’ favourite delivers well-priced lunches and a casual vibe. Bag the table with a view of the castle if available." Full review
