An Institution in the west of the city, The Caley Sample Room is a gastropub that gets everything right. Named after The Caledonian Brewery down the road, it now just reserves one pump for Caley beer - Deuchers IPA - but stocks several guest ales and speciality beers, plus 24 wines by the glass and the same amount of whiskies. It earned a nomination for Best Pub Grub at the 2010 Scottish Restaurant Awards thanks to its thoughtful take on classic pub meals and its less common dishes such as Haggis parcels with turnip and thyme jus, and pan-seared seabass with clam, potato and pancetta chowder. Book in advance on match days - Murrayfield and Tynecastle stadiums are both nearby...
