Gratitude Thai Lounge Bar

Head down Morningside Road and you'll find yourself in a dining room that feels genuinely considered—warm lighting, a bar that's clearly taken seriously, and staff who actually know their stuff. The kitchen takes Thai cuisine beyond the usual suspects you'll find in most Edinburgh spots. They're doing this properly: balancing heat with nuance, understanding that good Thai food is about layers, not just turning up the chilli. The drinks list is where things get interesting too; they're not throwing random spirits at lime juice and calling it fusion.
