Howie's

Most festival-goers will be lucky enough to stumble across a ‘Howie's’ during their time at the Fringe. The ubiquitous Edinburgh chain, synonymous with fantastic service, affordable pricing and fresh local produce, has a quartet of unpretentious, relaxed restaurants around the city – equally appropriate for casual lunches and more formal dinners.
 
The menu constantly changes to accommodate the season but firmly adheres to the eateries' "fine food without the faff" ethos. For a true taste of Scotland, sample the catch or dish of the day, which can include anything from hake and coley to pheasant and venison.
 
An Edinburgh treasure, the Howie's empire guarantees something to satisfy fussy and adventurous tastes alike.
