The fresh bakery and home made ice-cream from Margiotta's, the Italian deli on the corner of Spottiswoode Road, is well worth a visit! 

Bruntsfield is a bustling shopping area with several bars and commendable bistros only a short walk across the Links from Marchmont. Both Howies and  Montpeliers restaurants are on the main street and are well worth a visit (Monty's banoffee pie is to die for!).  There's also a nice deli, Peckhams,  for luxury nibbles and lots of gift shops nearby for those wishing to flex their credit card muscles.
