A quiet relaxed place to be in the daytime, with very low levels of music playing and none atall if you're lucky. Even lunchtimes have a quiet atmosphere even though the Fimhouse is only a couple of hundred yards from Edinburgh's West End. In the evening it gets much busier and noisier with music turned up.

Main meals £5/£7 from 3pm to 5pm.

Hot and cold food available until 10pm every day. Friendly staff.
''Eleven draught beers, five real ales, twelve wines by the glass, loads of bottled beers and over thirty malt whiskies''
