Great value for money in Edinburgh! I visited recently whilst looking for a cheap, filling lunch spot and left feeling like I'd just dropped by my grandma's house. There's a great range of options available, all at such a fair, honest price. And whilst the food, admittedly, won't blow you away, it's worth every penny. Go visit if you're in leith!
