Dogstar
One of the newer restaurants in this Edinburgh enclave, Dogstar occupies a former pub that’s now a buzzy space run by an engaging team whose cheery service will enhance any experience. The seasonal menu can change weekly or even daily, but expect dishes suited to sharing that show off an array of prime produce (sometimes cooked over coals), including stand-outs like fresh, sweet local surf clams with sea laver, rosemary and fino sherry. The carefully curated wine list offers a good range without breaking the bank.
Pearl is the En Primeur Club membership app — saves, bookings, and concierge access live there. Same editors, same standards.
