Mimi's, the perfect breakfast
BREAKFAST AT...
Clarinda's Tearoom (69 Canongate). To gain strength, here they will serve us a complete scottish breakfast ; but yes, good morning, the bean stews they don't fit you, order some toast with jam, some porridge or any of the cakes and pies that come out of the kitchen freshly baked, served on kitsch granny doilies on china plates.
Have breakfast like in a Scottish grandmother's house
BRUNCH AT...
Cafe at the Palace (Holyrood House, Canongate). Directly opposite the Scottish Parliament is Queen Elizabeth's summer residence, the holyrood palace . We have tea on the terrace of this café after visiting the royal chambers and the park (whoever has had the Full Scottish Breakfast can also a trek to Arthur's Seat and contemplate Edinburgh from this 251-meter-high hill ) .
Dogs on top of Arthur's Seat
LUNCH AT...
The World's End (2-8 High Street). It's not the end of the world, no. But it was in this place where in the 16th century the city ended . The gates of the old wall were located outside this typical Scottish pub, where you have to take the opportunity to try two must: the cullen skink (a soup of smoked fish, potatoes and onion) and the haggis with neeps and tatties (rich sausage accompanied by mashed rutabaga and potatoes) . And of course, like any British pub, you don't missing fish and chips in the letter.
Typical Scottish
SNACK IN...
Mimi's Picnic Parlor (250 Canongate, The Royal Mile). Chocolate and raspberry brownies, blueberry muffins, banana and Nutella cupcakes or fluffy scones with homemade jam: we won't know what to choose for accompany the glass of champagne in the afternoon tea. They are 14.50 pounds this delight.

DINNER AT...
The Holyrood 9A (9A Holyrood Road). It will be impossible for you to choose among the twenty hamburgers that this restaurant offers (the one with hallucinogenic mushrooms, the tandoori chicken or the chili death?, the Italian with pesto, the chorizo or the cheese with bacon?), And between their beers I don't even tell you! They have the most exotic and strange beers not only in Britain, but on the entire planet! On barrel or in bottle, it is a matter of tasting.
Perfect hamburgers and... on sale!
PARTIES IN...
by vast majority we leave the Parliament to end the day in a club with live music . There are venues and groups for all tastes, from the DJs at Cabaret Voltaire (36 Blair Street) to the underground rock at Bannerman's (212 Cowgate, ) and the jam sessions at The Jazz Bar (1A Chambers Street) .
