Howies Restaurant - Waterloo Place

The concept behind the thriving group of Howies restaurants is "fine food without the faff." Can't go wrong with that, can you?

This particular venue occupies a gorgeous 200-year old Georgian building at the East End of Princes Street and reliably serves up the classic Howies mix of a laidback atmosphere and quality, good-value cooking served by very friendly staff in a bright, light surrounding.

A three-course lunch will set you back around a tenner, and dinner under £20. Favourite dinner dishes include Scotch steak, and salmon. Snacks and drinks are served from 10am everyday. Who goes here? Mainly business folk, local MSPs and young professionals.
