Baroque, Edinburgh

This is a hip hang-out on one of Edinburgh's trendiest streets. Inside, the decor is bright blue and orange with some surreal touches. Despite its ultra-cool aura, it is a friendly place with welcoming staff and a great atmosphere. The food available is Scottish-modern with a heavy dose of Mediterranean and Mexican influences. Join the throng later in the week and enjoy the open plan drinking on your way to the clubs up the road. In the summer, the large windows open out and the crowd spills out onto the pavement.
