Eating out with your kids in the capital of Scotland

We were living in a nice and fully furnished Edinburgh residential home placed in the center of the Scottish main city and my spouse usually made the breakfast, however throughout the day we were outside and kids wanted to try the sandwiches available. Not surprisingly my wife was hostile to that and to tell the truth me too, because we insist on feeding our little ones with ecological and healthy meals, therefore we did our best to get them vegetables and fresh fruits as well and therefore to compensate the snacks bought outside.

We avoided the dining places down the downtown zone, the Grassmarket area and the Royal Castle, because we have read they may be really costly as they are focused directly to the travellers, but we loved to eat out in the West End area and the Leith area. During the evenings we often visited the pubs down the pedestrian Rose Street that is going parallel to the Princes Street and which offers a lot of cafes offering fantastic food. These bars were additionally near to our Edinburgh dwelling also and this made the walk home simple and quick, which helped when the kids were tired and dropping off to sleep in our arms.

We often ordered fish and chips, deep fried pizza which is a true Scottish delight. I was into the Black Pudding that is deep fried and is good with ale, while my wife preferred the haggis meal, also deep fried.

Of course, I wished to visit a bar or two, but with the children this was impossible to accomplish. Thus, I purchased a lot of beer from the supermarket, stored it in the fridge and with my wife we enjoyed a few drinks on the terrace of our Edinburgh apartment soon after the kids when to bed.
