How often have you suggested to somebody that you meet for a coffee or some food at some point between where each of you live? And how often have you found it difficult to decide where is about halfway? And have you ever been going somewhere and wanted to stop for coffee or some food on the way but found it hard to think of what is en-route?

Well, to help you out in situations like this, we’ve come up with a new search tool - the between search. You just enter what you’re looking for and the two locations that you want to find places between. Just like the normal quick search on EdinburghMenus.com, the locations can be postcodes, streets, areas or even big Edinburgh landmarks.

On your way to the castle from your flat in Stockbridge and want to stop for coffee on the way? Just enter ‘cafe’, ‘castle’ and ’stockbridge’ into the between search. (try it). Live on Marchmont Road and want meet your friend from Leith for pizza somewhere in between? ‘Pizza’, ‘marchmont road’ and ‘leith’ will sort you out. (try it).

As always, search results are plotted on a GoogleMap. When you hover over a result, as well as displaying the most basic information about the business, you will also be shown how far that business is from the exact midpoint of the two locations you entered. Good for settling the occasional argument about who had to travel further to meet up!
