Agua, Apex City Hotel

Looking out over the Grassmarket, Agua Restuarant in the City Apex Hotel offers something more than you'd expect from hotel dining, with an AA rosette award guaranteeing high quality cooking. They're happy to accommodate dietary requirements, but the restaurant is famed for its delectable seafood dishes, which come thoroughly recommended by The Skinny. Wood panelled walls and big windows let in the light, making for an atmospheric experience whether you're chowing down on prawns or sipping on gin and juice (or something a little more fancy, given their extensive and varied cocktail menu).
