Right off Charlotte Square, down the narrow stairs you'll find Whigham's, an authentic Georgian wine cellar. You'd expect a blistering wine list with a nice line in champagnes, and her it is, but you wouldn't necessarily expect the fresh, high-quality cooking, emphasis on seafood, that emerges from the refurbished kitchen. Here you'll find starters of heart-stoppingly fresh oysters with raspberry vinaigrette, main course of a justly famous seafood platter, and dessert of renowned sticky toffee pudding. Menu changes daily. The wine cellar ambience is suitably dark, with alcoves, leather and wood, but now there is also a bright and airy eating area. The relaxed atmosphere is smart enough that you could bring your boss and not lose career points. And you'd be hard-pressed to dine so well without blowing the budget this close to Princes Street.
