20 Best Restaurants in Edinburgh | Condé Nast Traveler

"Located in the University quarter, Saboteur specializes in Vietnamese street food. Although it's not a grab-and-go place, it's still quick and casual, with clusters of small tables, tiny wooden stools, and low-lit booths. The small boxes—literally cardboard—of dishes like simple tofu with salt and pepper and grilled chicken skewers with ajard and peanut sauce are all superb. Bao buns are decent enough; the king prawn with green chilli, coriander, and lime simbal is the standout. The zingy Ca Phile—fried sea bass, chili, pineapple, tamarind, tomato, basil, palm sugar, and fish sauce—is another must-try. A pleasingly casual spot, this is where you can kick your shoes off, slurp noodles, and pull rings off beer cans." - Caroline Eden
