Lune Town Restaurant

Lune Town is a Cantonese restaurant on William Street, the narrow cobbled lane that runs through Edinburgh's West End village between Shandwick Place and Stafford Street. The kitchen specialises in traditional Cantonese home-cooking rather than the westernised Chinese-British menu, with aromatic duck — served whole or half — and Szechuan-spiced ostrich medallions among the dishes that stand out from a standard list of sweet and sour and fried rice. The restaurant occupies a two-floor space, small enough to feel like a neighbourhood local. Opening hours Monday to Thursday are noon to 2pm and 5pm to 11:30pm, with a later last-orders on Fridays and a Saturday afternoon-to-midnight session. The West End's Georgian terraces and boutique character make William Street a more upmarket environment than Edinburgh's main late-night eating strips, and Lune Town's menu reflects that slightly more ambitious positioning.
