For me, this is the best place in Edinburgh to eat steak. They have carefully selected the best Angus beef farmer and built their own dry ageing cabinets, that you can look at when you are in the restaurant. Monday and Tuesday you can bring your own wine (£5 corkage) and Wednesday they have a a good Rump Steak deal on for 2.
They also have a nice little bar with great cocktails.
