Restaurants close to Bathgate
Should you wish to expand your culinary horizons further still, Edinburgh's cosmopolitan restaurants are not fare from Bathgate on the M8 motorway. Lovers of Latin American cuisine might want to head to Viva Mexico on Cockburn Street in Edinburgh's Old Town, where you can wash down fiery tortilla soup and stuffed jalapeno poppers with jugs of margaritas and imported beer. Meanwhile over in the New Town you'll find the Côte Brasserie. Here, in an elegant Georgian-style interior, you can enjoy classic French dishes like Roquefort salad, prawn gratin, roast duck and cassoulet de Toulouse (a rich, slow-cooked sausage and bean casserole).
