The Caledonian Sample Room, Edinburgh

Yeah, has changed quite a lot since the old Caley. I liked the old place, but the new one is nice too. As has been said, there's not too many decent places around here: we're on Robertson Avenue, and the Caley is the nearest nice pub for us.

Food is tasty and hearty; a little fancy for my tastes. Wine selection is good if a little expensive, beers are decent as well.

The Melville Inn, Lasswade

Had a lovely Sunday roast in here yesterday, hot and tasty, arrived pretty promptly although there were quite a few other folks in. Staff were nice and friendly, and the place itself was good and cosy. Lots of different wines, on tap and by the bottle. If we'd had room we would have had the pudding, but the plate was massive. All in all would be a lovely place to while away an afternoon I think, will definitely be returning.
