EXCLUSIVE Tafelspitz 1876 (42A Grünerstrasse, tel: 0211 171 7361) A former cake shop reworked by Daniel Dal-Ben as a Michelinstarred gourmet restaurant, Tafelspitz 1876 is the place to feast on goose liver praline, oxtail soup with rare ribeye steak or line-caught zander with warm Black Forest ham gelée. AFTER DARK LOW KEY Brauerei Schumacher (123 Oststrasse, tel: 0211 828 9020) You won’t get the Schumacher brewery’s traditional Düsseldorf Alt beer fresher than on the site where it’s brewed. LATE & LIVELY Anaconda Lounge (11 Andreasstrasse, tel: 0172 272 7252) Original 1960s design meets cocktails and electro to create a club in miniature at Anaconda Lounge, open until 5am on Fridays and for Saturday’s Elektromeisterei.

Head instead for Jerry’s Exclusiv, where you’ll fi nd luxurious Lobb footwear for men and fi ne Italian shoes for women (Kö- Galerie, 58 Königsallee, jerrys-exclusiv.de). SEE Carnival is known as the “fi fth season” here. It climaxes with Rosenmontag on 7 March, when a giant parade makes its way through the city, and costumes and silliness are the order of the day (comitee-duesseldorfercarneval.de). NO WAY! It was here in 1970 that Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider came together to form celebrated synthesizer pioneers Kraftwerk.

BON APPETIT UP TO €15 Illegal Jack’s South West Grill (113–117 Lothian Road, tel: 0131 622 7499) This is a big, plainly set-out eatery that gets its Tex- Mex style exactly right. It isn’t sophisticated, but it’s certainly fi lling, fresh and friendly, with the accent as much on the food as it is on being fast. UP TO €30 The Magnum Restaurant & Bar (1 Albany Street, tel: 0131 557 4366) The Magnum delivers strong, old-fashioned service and a Scottish menu that gives a modern twist to the suitably traditional element that’s in keeping with its New Town setting.

UP TO €50 Calistoga Restaurant & Sideways Wines (70 Rose Street North Lane, tel: 0131 225 1233) Bang in the heart of the New Town, but hidden away down a tiny lane, this is Californian dining of the kind that likes local sourcing and Pacifi c Rim fl avours.

EXCLUSIVE Castle Terrace (33–35 Castle Terrace, tel: 0131 229 1222) It only opened last July, but a “rising star” in the <strong>2011</strong> Michelin Guide marks out this uncluttered, sophisticated restaurant for future greatness.

AFTER DARK LOW KEY Hyde Out (2 Fountainbridge Square, tel: 0131 221 0632) A classy newstyle bar on the canal waterfront at Edinburgh Quay, where the bespoke designer trimmings are as noteworthy as the superior menu. A cool place to lounge with cocktails and fi ne wines. LIVE MUSIC Bannerman’s Bar (212 Cowgate, tel: 0131 556 3254) Barrel-vaulted ceilings don’t improve the acoustics of this vibrant haunt for local bands, but they help keep the enthusiasm levels high. There’s live music most evenings, for those who like it loud. LATE & LIVELY Pivo (2 Calton Road, tel: 0131 557 2925) Edinburgh’s up-and-coming DJs display their mixing skills every night at this stylish and lively bar that’s open from 4pm to 3am. It’s a good central pre-club hangout, or a great place to stay all night. THIS MONTH SHOP Threadbare is an Aladdin’s cave of retro, kitsch and collectable clothing, tucked away in a basement at the bottom of Broughton Street. Perfect for a TEN HILL PLACE HOTEL ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Find a little peace and quiet among the hustle and bustle of the city at this stylish and tastefully decorated hotel. From €74, book at hotels.easyJet.com. unique bargain item to set off an outfi t – or a piece of designer cashmere (66A Broughton Street). SEE There’s sensuality all month at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, with Stella Quines’ genrebusting, sexy ensemble piece Age of Arousal until 12 March, and Sue Glover’s Marilyn – about Monroe and Simone Signoret – from 15 March (Grindlay Street, tel: 0131 248 4848, lyceum.org.uk). GO South of the city centre, on the 41 bus route, Blackford Hill is home to the Royal Observatory and its visitors’ centre. One of the city’s better places to blow away the cobwebs, with stunning panoramic views of the city. ESCAPE Linlithgow, 20 minutes east of Edinburgh by train, was a favoured stopping place for Scottish royalty on the road to Stirling. Linlithgow Palace was the nursery for Scottish royalty in the 16th century, including Mary Queen of Scots, although this impressive building in beautiful parkland is now largely ruined. NO WAY! Hyde Out’s toile wallpaper, originally designed for the Edinburgh International Festival, caused outrage with its realistic depiction of vagrants and drunks among of the city’s monuments. Thom Dibdin
