Tower Restaurant specialises in Scottish cuisine with a somewhat global flair and uses only the best produce in the dishes they create.

menu food staff
Thai Orchid is a well-established restaurant in Edinburgh celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and if you have not sampled the authentic Thai cuisine yet, you really should.
When it first opened in 1996, Thai Orchid was one of the first Thai restaurants in Edinburgh.
When we visited on a Monday evening, there was a buzz about the place – unlike many other restaurants – as tourists and locals flocked through the doors to tuck into delicious dishes from Thai Orchid’s extensive menu.
Often Thai food has a reputation for being too spicy for those with a delicate palate, so Thai Orchid has introduced a ‘spice guide’ allowing you to select the dish of your choice according to its mild/medium spicy/spicy rating.
Also being served was one of Thai Orchid’s many fish dishes, the Pla Todd Kha-min (£14.95), which consisted of crisp monkfish topped with turmeric, garlic, chilli and tamarind sauce.
