With its smart line-up of Scottish comfort food and easygoing sophistication, Hamiltons is a leisurely spot for cosmopolitan dining on the outskirts of Edinburgh in Stockbridge. The chic purple and lilac tones of the interior add to the stylish, buzzy ambience, with serving staff kitted out in kilts and live acoustic sessions on Sundays. Local produce is used where possible, resulting in a hearty array of seafood, salads, steaks and burgers, plus popular weekend brunches. The lively bar with its comfy sofas is ideal for lounging with after-dinner drinks.
