Where to eat in Edinburgh? Despite what you may have been led to believe, Scotland\u2019s food scene isn\u2019t just about Haggis and whisky. In fact, Edinburgh is home to a wonderful array of inexpensive restaurants and cafes that will cater to your every culinary whim. Today we run through a few of our top picks for cheap food in Edinburgh<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Oink<\/h2>\n

Oink serves one thing, and one thing only \u2013 a hog roast, and man are those porky baps tasty! As one of the best value restaurants in Edinburgh, it\u2019s recommended you arrive early, especially if you\u2019re hoping for crackling. You\u2019ll know you\u2019re in the right place when you spot the whole pig roasting in the window. You have three choices – The Piglet (\u00a32.95), The Oink (\u00a33.94), and The Grunter (\u00a34.95), all come in a soft roll topped with your choice of sauce.
\nAddress:<\/strong> Grassmarket, 34 Victoria Street, EH1 2JW and Canongate, 82 Canongate, EH8 8BZ
\nOpening hours: <\/strong>Monday to Saturday 11:00-18:00 \/ Sunday \u2013 11:00-17:00 (or until the pork runs out!)
\nWebsite:<\/strong> oinkhogroast.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Milk<\/h2>\n

\"where
\nWhether you\u2019re looking for a spot of breakfast, brunch or lunch, Milk is one of Edinburgh\u2019s best healthy restaurants. Their mushroom, rosemary and scrambled egg burrito (\u00a34.20) is the breakfast of champions, especially if you\u2019ve had one too many drams the night before. Sandwiches and flatbreads start from \u00a33.90, and hearty lunchtime stews from \u00a35.90 (we\u2019re obsessed with the black bean, quinoa and potato and the Portuguese chorizo).
\nAddress:<\/strong> 232 Morrison Street, Edinburgh, EN3 8EA
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Monday to Friday – 07.30-16:00 \/ Saturday \u2013 08:00-16:00 \/ Sunday \u2013 08:00-15:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> cafemilk.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Wannaburger<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019ve spent a day exploring the city\u2019s hilly streets, and are wondering where to eat in Edinburgh, hit up Wannaburger for a real feast \u2013 you\u2019re on holiday after all! This spot is a cut above the rest when it comes to burger joints due to their \u2018no artificial additives\u2019 policy. Their burgers are all Aberdeen Angus beef, the buns are baked locally, and they even handcraft their own mayo. Burgers start from as little as \u00a32.99 (yes, you read that correctly.) and a cheeseburger \u2018shake meal\u2019, which comes with fries and a milkshake, will set you back just \u00a36.69. There are a variety of veggie options, unlimited refills on soft drinks, and more giant pickles than you can shake a stick at.
\nAddress: <\/strong>7\/8 Queensferry Street, Edinburgh, EH2 4PA
\nOpening hours: <\/strong>Daily 07:30-22:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> wannaburger.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Caf\u00e9 Andamiro<\/h2>\n

No matter the night of the week, Caf\u00e9 Andamiro is always jam packed with people who can\u2019t get enough of their authentic Japanese and Korean dishes. We recommend the Korean spicy ramen, or the bibimbap, but their range of sushi is also worth some exploration. It won\u2019t be easy, but try to save space for dessert \u2013 their homemade treats will make you cry real tears of joy.
\nAddress:<\/strong> 113 Buccleuch Street, Edinburgh EH8 9NG
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Tuesday to Saturday 11:00-21:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> cafe-andamiro.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Bodega<\/h2>\n

\"Bodega
\nThis Mexican canteen serves up big and tasty US West Coast-style tacos for just \u00a37. Their fillings are to die for – we\u2019re talking pineapple pulled pork, slow-cooked chipotle steak, and our personal favourite, crispy cod. Another added bonus is that Bodega is BYOB, which means there\u2019s no danger of racking up a huge booze bill. (images by Christina Kernohan Photography)
\nAddress:<\/strong> 62 Elm Row, Edinburgh, EH7 4AQ
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Tuesday \u2013 Sunday 17:30\u201322:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> ilovebodega.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The Piemaker<\/h2>\n

Visitors to The Piemaker should ready themselves for a double whammy of goodness \u2013 the tastiest pies in Scotland, and bargain prices! Snap up a haggis, turnip and mash (\u00a31.60), steak and ale (\u00a32.50), or if you\u2019re veggie, try the Thai mushroom (\u00a32.10), or their delicious balti curry (\u00a32.10).
\nAddress: <\/strong>38 South Bridge, Edinburgh, EH1 1LL
\nOpening hours: <\/strong>Monday to Wednesday – 09:00-19:00 \/ Thursday & Friday \u2013 09:00-23:00 \/ Saturday \u2013 10:00-23:00 \/ Sunday \u2013 10:30-19:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> thepiemaker.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n

Kampung Ali<\/h2>\n

For delicious Malaysian food, head to Kampung Ali, where the portions are ginormous, but the prices are anything but. Pretty much everything on the menu is under a tenner. We recommend their curry laksa (\u00a37.80), and Rendang chicken (\u00a38.00).
\nAddress:<\/strong> 97-101 Fountainbridge, Edinburgh EH3 9QG
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Closed Tuesdays. Lunch – 12:00-14.30 \/ Dinner – 17:00-23:00 \/ Weekends \u2013 12:00-23:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> kampungali.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The Bluebird Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

\"where
\nThe Bluebird Caf\u00e9 is all about hearty, homemade fare. Expect great coffee, soups and a range of lip-smackingly good homemade sweet treats (that one at the top is rocky road cheesecake – THIS IS NOT A DRILL). There’s also an entire menu dedicated to scones. The caf\u00e9 itself is\u00a0a cool spot, inspired by the owner\u2019s travels through America on the back of a Harley Davidson. You\u2019ll find her behind the counter most days, or hosting one of her live music nights, where its BYOB, and punters feast on piles of pulled pork. Yes please!
\nAddress:<\/strong> 5 Cannonmills, Edinburgh, EN3 5HA
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Monday to Friday 06:00-16:00 \/ Weekends \u2013 08:00-17:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> thebluebirdcafe-edinburgh.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Union of Genius<\/h2>\n

For cheap eats in Edinburgh guaranteed to warm you up and refuel you after the day\u2019s explorations, head to the Union of Genius, Scotland\u2019s first soup caf\u00e9. The caf\u00e9\u2019s soup maestros prepare six fresh soups every day using quality meats and whichever vegetables are in season. There are so many tempting options, including veggie and vegan, that you might be hard pressed to choose \u2013 in which case try their flight of three soups for \u00a35.80.
\nAddress:<\/strong> 8 Forrest Road, Edinburgh EH1 2QN
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Monday to Friday \u2013 08:00-16:30, Saturday \u2013 12:00-16:00
\nWebsite:<\/strong> unionofgenius.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Mother India\u2019s Caf\u00e9<\/h2>\n

Mother India\u2019s tasty tapas offers a unique take on Indian cuisine, and with plates starting at just \u00a33.25, this is one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh for foodies on a budget. We recommend the fried dry okra with tomatoes.
\nAddress:<\/strong> 3-5 Infirmary Street, Old Town, Edinburgh, EH1 1LT.
\nOpening hours:<\/strong> Monday to Wednesday – 12:00\u201314:00 & 17:00-22:30 \/ Thursday – 12:00-22:30 \/ Friday & Saturday – 12:00\u201323:00 \/ Sunday – 12:00-22:00
