Our menu (download here) was strongly influenced by American comfort food, with one or two dishes you wouldn't normally expect to see this side of the pond, along with some local favourites too.

We only use fresh local produce and all our meat comes from renowned butcher John Gilmour.

We also have a homemade dessert menu (download here) We are open from 11am for drinks as usual and our brunch menu (download here) is available from 11am - 2pm every Saturday.

A welcoming, laid-back local that's big on beers and American-style comfort food.

The 2018 edition of The List's Eating & Drinking Guide is out now – only £7.95 (+ ).

The Other Place team are a friendly bunch, keen to chat about their extensive range of beers from around the world and to add any of their locals' favourites, should the 150-strong list come up short.

Mash options include a classic buttery version, Scottish cheddar and chive, and black pudding, with mouthwatering mains such as wild boar sausage with onion gravy, braised ox cheeks with mushrooms and gravy, and slow cooked rosemary lamb shank with red wine and cranberry sauce.

You’ll find traditional Scottish dishes on the menu, such as Cullen skink soup, stovies and kedgeree, as well as other hearty options like bacon and cheese toasties, mac and cheese, and beef stew with puff pastry and chips.

Their menu features gourmet versions of classic British dishes, such as The Ivy’s signature shepherd’s pie made with slow braised lamb shoulder and Isle of Mull cheddar mash.

Specialising in gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, options here range from the Meltmongers Classic (with mature cheddar and American cheese on sourdough bread) to the more unusual Pizza Melt, with mozzarella and tomato, basil and garlic sauce.

On the menu you’ll find classic Scottish dishes with a contemporary twist, such as pan fried Shetland salmon with winter greens, heritage roasted potatoes and sauce vierge, plus sticky toffee pudding with Mackie’s ice cream for dessert.

However, what she lacks in olfactory ability, she makes up for in enthusiasm, especially since we both loved this restaurant’s other venue, New Chapter, back when it opened at the beginning of last year.

The menu is similar to the one at their smaller Eyre Place restaurant, and I had a sense of déjà vu after ordering the white onion and cider soup (£5.50).

Our other starter – smoked mackerel rillettes (£6.50) – was a subtle and whispery dish in green and white, thanks to three creamy spheres of fishy paste sandwiched by veil-transparent discs of radish, and flanked by cucumber kernels, horseradish cream with a very subtle spike, crumbled hazelnut and a pond green flourish of herby jus.

This puck of meat was dense and peppery, with a creamy fried duck egg on the top and, on the side, a dish of pickled red cabbage, caramelised walnuts and raisins.

While this was relatively homely, they went all fine dining with the Yorkshire rhubarb cheesecake (£5.95), a dainty wedge of layered cake, with a vanilla flecked mantle of pink jelly on top.

Over a hundred beers from around the world and American style comfort food, made to order from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, are the name of the game.

Burgers, dogs, ribs, fried chicken and brisket beer chilli are all big draws here.

Goodbye The Stag's Head, Hello The Other Place | Edinburgh Guide

Nothing’s more sure than change but when news that The Stag’s Head, an old Broughton Road pub that dates back to the 1890s, was to close there was a real air of sadness among its regulars.

However, the new broom has well and truly swept through the old place and a bright and welcoming wee hostelry now sits on the corner of Rodney Street and Broughton Road making it well and truly The Other Place.

While the bar/restaurant owned by Michael O'Sullivan of Market Street’s famous Doric Tavern has a completely new image, several features from the old place have been kept.

Its elaborate late Victorian ceiling, the mosaic door entrance bearing the pub’s old name with a stag’s head and the weel kent big picture of the very Stag remain.

The brand new open kitchen that allows cooking aromas to waft temptingly through the bar serves the likes of homemade meatloaf and their own recipe hotdogs and a house speciality, homemade beer brisket chilli.
