Everywhere to eat in the Grassmarket- Edinburgh

[@pamelajordan1809]

Biddy Mulligans was a regular haunt when I was a student. Live music on a Sunday night. Love the Mussel and Steak Bar, good sea food, and the other half raved about the chips cooked in beef dripping.

[@DaveyPalmer1]

O'Oliviero used to be 'Gennaro's' which was a lovely wee Italian restaurant back in the day and a famous spot in Edinburgh. The reason I personally loved Gennaro's is because 16 years ago my wife proposed to me in there. Yes - she proposed to me! And I said "Yes" 😊❤️

[@cambeul71]

Fiddler's Arms great place to eat food was excellent. I had haggis there in Sept 2021 when I was in Edinburgh.

[@lynnejennings4951]

From Dundee, live in the States now for 50 years now. Enjoyed this thanks

[@StayWildWanderlust]

I am planning a group trip to Scotland in October of 2026. Your videos have been so helpful!

[@toffeepopzzz]

I go to Mary's Milk Bar every time I visit Edinburgh. She invents new flavours constantly and they are well worth trying.

[@Zandain]

Happy to be amongst those, who have enjoyed several of the yummy options that The Grassmarket has to offer! 🫔 🌯 🌮 🥡 🍔 🍰 🍨 🥤☕️ 🫖 whist strolling the fleamarket stalls, during the summer ☀️ Thanks Tony 👍 hello from Denmark 🌸❄

[@beckyschroeder1248]

Thanks Tony! Lots of good places to eat!

[@julierogers1155]

Hello from California. Loved this post/video. Stayed in the Grassmarket in 2016, in an airBnB-type accommodation. LOVED The White Hart Inn as it had LIVE music every night. The Last Drop was good for food and fun too. Really, just loved Edinburgh, Glasgow, the highlands (Inverness) and ALL of Scotland (except St. Andrews, found it a snooze)!

[@pipthechat9618]

We ate at many of these places when we visited in February 2019 and had a lovely time. It was a treat to revisit them via this video.

[@amygreen4408]

It's not even 7:30 in the morning and pub food sounds like an amazing way to start the day...🤩 Thanks, Tony!

[@AdcrofromTikTok]

Looooove Mary’s Milk Bar. Visited Edinburgh from Bolton last year, walked through here and someone outside the Beehive shouted me… it was a family of my regular customers (I work in a supermarket) here in Bolton. Typical eh? Ha!

[@petenoseworthy2939]

Now we have options probably for for next Saturday thank you Tony I can look like I know what I'm doing to my wife we will be enjoying your beautiful city starting on the 17th of March

[@sandiandgregh]

Really appreciated this one. We'll be back in Edinburgh in the autumn and are staying in the Grassmarket this time round. Can't wait.

[@stephaniemaloney4324]

I needed a wee break from the news, Tony. Thank you! 😊

[@josephmitchell7792]

Best tour guide in Edinburgh. I'm arriving for 3 nights on Halloween, can't wait to check out some of these places.

[@tinakrigar8220]

Thanks for the Mamma’s recommendation Having lunch here right now

[@jjmcauliffe5327]

I have been to the Grassmarket many time's yet have not checked many of the places out. Thank you for this and I totally understand you're hesitation to film menu's for to long, thank you for being considerate. While this video is only 21:11 minutes long, it took me an enjoyable hour to pause and read all the menus. I will be in Edinburgh twice this year and I plan on stopping at a least a few of these place because of you. Maybe we can meet for a pint, Cheers.

[@edf6607]

Been to Mussle & Steak on my last couple of visits to Edinburgh but that was 2/3 years ago. Really good food, not too big a place its nice and cosy as i recall. Friendly service too :)

[@russmeans]

We ate at the Beehive and Mary's Milk Bar. Yummy! See some newer establishments to visit on our next trip.

[@lauracalvarado1224]

Coming from Canada in a month with my family - I have found your videos to be so helpful! thank you so much for doing them.

[@ingaborlowski1536]

Excellent, loved this. I want a traditional pie and a Sunday roast now 😋🙋‍♀️

[@MrsStorrEst]

Hi Broonfords, hope you are all well 🥰 I have never noticed how many places there are to eat in the Grassmarket 🤦‍♀️ The amount of times I've walked through or around it as well 🤣 Other Broonfords fans...am I the only edjit that says bye humans back when Tony says it 🙈 haha

[@aprilsmith1166]

I also say it! And I wave too! How sad is that?! 😂😂

[@MrsStorrEst]

@@aprilsmith1166 🤣🤣 So glad I have a fellow crazy person 🤦‍♀️ We are completely sad lol

[@TravelsUnfiltered]

The Dirty Bull loaded fries section on the menu looks amazing! I'll take one of each please 🤣

[@susansavelli5521]

Thank you for this video! I am staying at the Apex Grassmarket for my very first stay in Edinburgh this year (September). This helped me a great deal, and has me quite excited for my trip!

[@mariatrucco]

VERY HELPFUL VIDEO. Following in every social media right now, thank you

[@margaretmancuso5079]

Thanks for the video. Looks like lots of great places to eat.

[@kierstenwatts3179]

Wonderful gluten-free options there. Thank you Tony for that. Have a great weekend!

[@lonieschlefke693]

Now I know where the building with the purply wall thingee is - and what a view of the castle. Only got as far as the White Hart three years ago and wish we would have ventured farther.

[@tipstertricks]

Literally binge watching your walkarounds since about half 8 then you upload another vid😍

[@MrsStorrEst]

Hi, fellow binge watcher lol 😂

[@danmontondo6056]

Looking forward to our upcoming trip. How about a video of the best fish and chips?

[@rickcutrona3295]

Thanks for sharing mate.. miss Edinburgh so much.. will be back soon and when I arrive a deep fried Mars bar is a must.. love them 😜😜

[@donaldperry4982]

Great video, Tony. Hopefully, we will be able to visit next year.

[@davidsavage5930]

I'm new to your channel. Enjoyed what I've seen so far. My family and I are visiting Edinburough in September. Your vlogs have helped tremendously!! Thanks!

[@ClanBroonford]

Glad you like them!

[@MsCroatianCanuck]

I just discovered your channel and have subscribed. It s nice to see local knowledge of Edinburgh. What I would like to see is a video on economical Afternoon Tea tradition around the Prince's Street area. I used your advice on hotels on Princes street and have booked one of them .Looking forward to your next video and Edinburgh 🫖Thank you kindly

[@Chicagomostly]

We stayed at the Apex in the Grass market (Nov 2019) and loved the selection of places to eat. - and we watched all your videos before we came and they were very helpful! Thanks! (Hope to see Edinburg again soon!)

[@amycattron6844]

Thank you for sharing! My son and I are looking forward to a visit in June and your videos have so much great and fun information. Given your love of the city I’d appreciate a video about where to find great souvenirs while we’re there. Something authentic to the area and preferably local small businesses. Keep sharing and we’ll keep watching. Cheers!

[@MrsStorrEst]

If you go to the Stockbridge Market which is on Saturdays or the Grassmarket Market at the weekend also you will find amazing local businesses selling lots of unique gifts 👌

[@jenniferkupay9701]

Great video! We are finally booked (again) after a two and a half year delay! We are headed to the castle on our first day and plan to head to grass market right after for lunch. This is so helpful to get an idea of where we want to try out.

[@sandrabaker9326]

I was visiting family in Edinburgh last week and we had great vegan wraps from Let Me Eat, on the edge of the Grassmarket heading towards the Cowgate.

[@aprilsmith1166]

The Maggie Dickson pub is named after a young woman who was hanged but after taking the body for burial was found to still be alive. She became known as Half Hangit Maggie and lived for about 40 more years! As the court order for her hanging had been carried out, albeit unsuccessfully, they couldn't hang her again!

[@ClanBroonford]

Yep. Done a whole video on her. 👍

[@debbiedennison]

This was a great video! Understand not taking too long to stand in front of the menus, but certainly long enough to see if someone would like to explore the menu further online.

[@markabernethy37]

Lovely Video

[@paulghosts]

looking forward to my trip to edinburgh in may and will go into Biddy Mulligans to give drink and food a try

[@richm5964]

My kid and I hit that sweets shop everyday! Mamas made a decent pizza as well.

[@kristieraynor7182]

All I really want when I go in May is cullen skink and fresh, no-fuss seafood. Then some steak and ale pie, and a full scottish breakfast.

[@suzir4874]

It's a very useful video!! Specially for whom is outside Europa (like me), it helps a lot when you film the menu... So we can have a notion of prices.... Thank u!!

[@petenoseworthy2939]

Hey Tony, we're here in your city enjoying it so much. Your videos you have done walking around has been a big help. We got the tram from Gyles, then went to St John's kirkyard. We took the side street to the Grassmarket then Victoria Street upon to the first close. Then alllll the way down the Royal Mile. And when my wife would say we are loss, I would say "tony said...." . Tomorrow we are hoping to do gray friars and new town.

[@ClanBroonford]

Hope you have an amazing time.

[@jays2035]

Castle Rock is my favorite chippy in the area...grab some chips and head over to Greyfriars for a walk..

[@charlesdix4831]

Have you ever considered doing an episode on pubs that host/have quiz nights? My wife and I are visiting in late August and would love to find a pub or two to join in on a quiz night?

[@AngryTheGnome]

Biddy Mulligans owns the smallest pub and the Grassmarket Hotel, so you can get food in the smallest pub. Also it has plenty GF options: Nachos, all the salads, all the burgers have the gluten free bun option (the fried chicken will be replaced by grilled tho), the loaded fries and the skins also are GF, as well as the vegan pie and a couple of the desserts, just ask for the GF options as the menu says.

[@skinheadsoulbhoy2858]

You need to the same for the south side, tons of places to eat there including the legendary mosque kitchen, palmyra and kebab mahal

[@sharky6128]

Another great video Tony !!! Where is Quinn's Cafe located ??? I heard it has the very best breakfast.

[@Lefemme2]

Baaaahaahaaaahaa A burger made out of Maggie Dixon!!!!!! OMG! Classic!!!

[@mickbenton8196]

Just back from Embra after impressing my in-laws with my surprisingly detailed knowledge of the town. Unsubscribing now, but I'll be sure to pass along your videos to friends heading your way. Cheers and thanks, The Berwicker in America

[@rickdrinksbeer5837]

I had my first haggis at The White Hart. I, unfortunately, saw no ghost. Tony, were you going to do a video specifically on Burke and Hare at one point? I also had a beer at The White Hart and The Last Drop.

[@pollyduron674]

I hope to run into you in May. Would love to meet you.

[@gauravjaggi5098]

Hi, need some advice. Grassmarket, Victoria Street are walking distance? Better to stay in apex grassmarket Or apex edinburgh City hotel? Are both of them close to each other?

[@slydermartin6008]

That was Happy and Handy😁. The Farmers Market ( in season ) adds even more options to the Grassmarket. One of my favorite areas in Edinburgh. Sitting outside having a pint ( or two ) you will meet people from everywhere. Last time I was there I had a conversation with a couple that lives about two miles away in the US. Fun!

[@aprilsmith1166]

I think Tony has already done a video of the Grassmarket Farmers Market, but an update would be good. And also the one in Stockbridge please 🙂

[@slydermartin6008]

@@aprilsmith1166 You're right! Forgot about that one. Re-watched it. 👍

Went to Dunedin Cafe last week, ordered the veggie breakfast, but it came with two pork sausages. 😂

Hi could you recommend an scottish trad pub

[@carausiuscaesar5672]

Och when i asked my tour guide in the Grass market if there is a chance to have a William Wallace statue in the form of Mel Gibson set up in the Grass Market (the Castle a great background) he looked at me as if i said something horrible about Scotland!He was no a fan of Mel for some reason…..

[@LiqdPT]

5:39 now I'm wondering which of the half dozen styles I can think of off the top of my head the "American style pizza" is

[@fizywig]

Carousel recommend any Indian restaurants in Edinburgh?

[@LiqdPT]

9:21 I'd be interested if anybody from SW USA (CA, AZ, etc) had tried El Toro Loco and what their review of it was. We had a hankering for Mexican while in Edinburgh (that was 2.5 weeks into our trip) and ended up at Wahaca which was... amusing.

[@slydermartin6008]

Wahaca would be "Amusing". Have not been to El Toro Loco but Miros Cantina on Rose Street is a hidden gem. Small. Comfortable and Good. Being an Unrepentant Mexican food Snob it was a surprise and delight eating there.

[@petenoseworthy2939]

😃

[@carausiuscaesar5672]

Are any eateries there dog friendly?

[@LiqdPT]

I wouldn't have my dog with me, but would like to know this just to increase my chances of seeing more dogs! 😁

[@LiqdPT]

5:06 "down my alley". OK, that's how I (Canadian/American) would use that phrase. I've noticed a lot of Brits use "up my street". Is this a difference between Scots and English? Or have you picked this up from the Americans? Inquiring minds want to know...

[@ClanBroonford]

That's funny you should mention that. It stuck in my head when I said it, feeling like I said something wrong but was not sure what.

[@LiqdPT]

@@ClanBroonford OK, so apparently the Americans are rubbing off on you. I have a similar issue where I have to stop and ask my American wife is some product or something I said is American or Canadian. But we've been together for 17 years, so I think it's blurring for her too

[@rrl4245]

But are they all designed to cater to tourists (non scots)?
