If you've ever been up Arthur's Seat and looked south to a golf course and a distinctive circular building (once stables, now used for functions), you'll have also been looking at Prestonfield House, recently refurbished as a hotel with a fantastic restaurant. Use this knowledge to reassure yourself that you're not headed in the wrong direction as you approach past the endless fifties bungalows lining Priestfield Road: eventually you'll reach the driveway to a grand floodlit building, and your goal, the dimly lit dining room glittering with candles. You are now in food paradise. The menu is extensive; there's fish, fowl, venison, beef and lamb dishes, often multiple instances of each. Execution is faultless, including some absolutely delicious puddings. The courses arrive at a relaxed pace, and after a couple of hours of indulgence you can retire, satiated, to a more comfortable situation in an armchair or sofa by the fires in one of the sitting rooms upstairs
