...AA and more. The opulent Prestonfield House is simply one of Edinburgh and the UK's finest destinations for fine dining, afternoon teas and hotel accommodation. Friends of mine recently arranged a celebration tea there and were impressed by the ambience and lavish levels of service. They sampled the 'Tea House' , set in a formal rose garden within the grounds. Privacy was theirs as they indulged in a heady selection of teas, coffees, sandwiches ...
...champagne. Prestonfield offers a fine selection of eating options. Rhubarb is the eccentrically named fine dining venue set in two over the top Regency rooms.

Mr Guiliano as he's known to his friends is a local Italian businessman who runs his own very special restaurants. My expereince is with the Guiliano's at the top of Leith Walk opposite The Edinburgh Playhouse. For that reason it is the number one choice for theatre go-ers and can get very busy on show nights (especially at weekends).

...will soon be over-looked as you are presented with a fantastic menu in both wine and food. You should keep in mind that your menu is being cooked by mainly an Italian workforce and uses some rather unique and delicious recipies. It adds to the expereince!
