Restaurants in Edinburgh

The Skyline Restaurant

We were shown to our seat very soon after arrival. We were told what soup of the day was, then put our order in. Because it was a pre birthday meal staff made sure our dessert had written on both our plates happy birthday in white chocolate what a nice thing to do. Cant wait to go back again

Makars Mash Bar (Edinburgh)

Absolutely amazing! Visited here during a trip to Edinburgh and have been thinking about it since. Ordered haggis with cheese mash potatoes. Service was also great and there's an interesting mushroom farm next to the bathroom.Please re-open your London location!

White Horse Oyster & Seafood Bar

Tucked away in the heart of Edinburgh, The White Horse Restaurant is a gastronomic delight that embodies the essence of fine dining. The ambiance effortlessly blends historic charm with contemporary elegance, setting the stage for a memorable evening. Every dish served is a testament to the chef's prowess, with a menu that left us thoroughly impressed and craving more. Their cocktail offerings are equally commendable, each crafted with a finesse that matches the culinary delights. What truly sets The White Horse apart, however, is its impeccable service. From the moment we stepped in until our departure, the staff exuded warmth and professionalism, ensuring our evening was nothing short of perfect. For those seeking an exceptional dining experience in Edinburgh, The White Horse Restaurant is not to be missed.

Bucks Bar - Edinburgh

Amazing atmosphere and super helpful staff! The music slaps and interior is so cool! The vegan burgers are delicious, I just wish there was slightly more options for vegan sides/burger flavours. Vegan waffles would be a dream. The chilli burger is the best, I’ve tried all 3 vgn options and the chilli one wins all the way. Beer is nice and cold and prices reasonable. Big portions and the funky sauces are bomb! Will be back.Vegetarian options: 3 vegan burger options, boozy shakes vegan options and cauliflower wings for sides

The Stockbridge Restaurant

One of the best restaurants I’ve been to in my life and the best in Scotland.The various courses on his menu are diverse, and amazing. The dishes are extremely intricate with layers of flavors. Each bite was a bit different.Sadly, the owner is closing up shop and becoming a chef elsewhere come end of this Saturday.

La Locanda Edinburgh

Came by on the weekend for a catch up over lunch. I ordered the gluten free tagliatelle with meatballs. The staff were lovely and accommodating. Best pasta I’ve had for a long time. Definitely coming back.Dietary restrictions: Gluten free pasta and bread

Pataka

We went there for a family dinner. 4 adults and one child, we booked ahead. The atmosphere was perfect, service impeccable, and the food was the best Indian food I have ever had. Amazingly tasty, beautifully served and wonderful service from the staff. A truly excellent experience. If you are in Edinburgh and looking for good Indian food at reasonable prices then this is the place for you.

Doctors

What a great welcoming to Edinburgh! Everyone was super friendly and extremely attentive. I was by myself and they made sure that I had a table and was comfortable. The food was delicious, I had the fish and chips and the fish was very fresh, and seasoned to perfection! Overall, superb service and atmosphere!If the staff reads this…. Thank you so much for your kindness and friendliness! Great experience!

The Pakora Bar

We came here for a late lunch after a long drive and were not disappointed. Although we did not eat the namesake pakoras, everything else that we had was very good. The spices were quite close to authentic Indian and you could see a few locals unable to bear the spiciness in the food. One of the better chhole (actually chana) bhature that I've had outside India. Definitely a must try.

Dishoom Edinburgh

After many recommendations, we finally got to eat in Dishoom. It was so worth the wait. Absolutely incredible food, loads of different flavours, all levels of spice, great breads. Server was so helpful explaining different dishes. And a great busy atmosphere. Don't miss a chance to eat there.[Prebooking advisable].

BABA

I enjoyed my dinner here, but it wasn’t as wonderful as I expected based on reviews I had read. For one thing, when were seated, I was placed in an armchair that sat very low, and the table came up almost to my neck. I finally managed to get a server to help me change the chair. Some of the food was a bit spicier than we had thought it would be, but the ambience there was great. Lots of atmosphere in the decor. And it’s a wonderful location. I walked here from my hotel down on York Place, and it was a beautiful evening walk to get back.

Fava Restaurant - Greek Kitchen

Went here after work and it was tremendous ?Staff were friendly and efficientFood was amazing, both starter and main were very tasty and well doneCannot fault it

Howies Restaurant

A must try restaurant in Edinburgh! The service was great, and really appreciated the recommendations from the waiter, especially as a vegetarian. The celeriac steak was amazing, and so was the sticky toffee pudding! The dinner deal before 6:30pm is definitely worth it, but make sure to book in advance.

Voujon.

As always excellent meal, starters and main all excellent quality, 3 of enjoyed the meal. The service was warm, friendly and efficient. One of our favourite places to eat out.

All Bar One Exchange Plaza

Went in on a Wednesday night and was taken aback by how busy the venue was!The manager in the glasses was very kindly able to squeeze me and my mother in for a quick drink and some nibbles, I’m so pleased that they did!Whilst being quite busy we still received efficient, speedy and courteous service from every staff member! Especially big shoutout to the server working the bar Ryan who was absolutely fantastic!Tasty small plates (had some prawns and duck gyoza which were lovely) and a delightful disaronno apricot sour Ryan recommended my mum described as simply delicious!Wonderful evening that was made possible by some fantastic staff! Will be back!!

First Coast Restaurant

Fantastic meal. I had the chicken thai salad and the flavor and texture was perfect. Son has a tree nut and peanut allergy and we were delighted with the care they took with him, to doublecheck that he could have the Haggis/Tatties/Neeps and lamb shoulder and even the sticky toffee pudding! When they brought the starter over they even made sure to tell my son before he asked that the garnish was oatmeal, not nuts. Food was delicious and service was very friendly. I would eat here again in a heartbeat.

The Auld Hundred

We had our first meal in Edinburgh here after a long trip, and it was the best choice ever! The soup and salmon were good, and we loved the beer too. But the Balmoral chicken was simply the best and it definitely was something we never tried before. Now we are back in Korea and terribly miss the chicken already.. we will definitely come back when we are back in town!

Chaskaa Indian Restaurant

You have to try this place it's sooooo good. Lovely, clean and bright restaurant with really nice staff. We both had chicken tikka shashlik and they were amazing !!! Really good flavours and beautifully presented. The naan was perfectly cooked and so was everything else. Defensively recommend ?

Dine Murrayfield

First class dining experience, simply can't fault . Second visit to this restaurant for a special occasion while staying in Edinburgh, and again we were delighted with a lovely evening.

Veeno Edinburgh

Had such an amazing pizza here last night accompanied by a lovely glass of wine , I felt I needed to leave a review. Its just a small place but the atmosphere and the food are so good . The service was friendly too. All in all , highly recommended.

Giulianos

Food was delicious, definitely save room for dessert! And we loved the rosemary focaccia to start. Service was a little slow to start but was then fantastic. Whole place exceeded expectations and would recommend to a friend.

BrewDog DogHouse Edinburgh Bar & Terrace

Had a great stay here for a few days. Nothing was too much trouble to ask and the room was probably one of the best I have stayed in . Great location and friendly welcoming staff.Vegetarian options: Great selection of veggie and vegan options.

The Basement

lovely place, visited solo on a sunday evening and was greeted with a warm welcome. quick service and attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere with authentic music and rustic furniture. prices a little high but lovely food so definitely worth it!

The Black Hoof | Your Iberico Ham Specialist since 2017

I have purchased whole hams from Black Hoof on a number of occasions usually without any problems, when there has been some concern customer service has been exemplary. Thoroughly recommend.

La Sal

We don't live locally but had visited La Sal before, a couple of years ago and wanted to repeat the experience. We had absolutely sumptuous Carrillada Iberica (pigs' cheeks braised in red wine for half-a-day), Pavia, which are delicious pieces of Cod in a very thin, crispy, tempura batter, and Pastel Berenjena, perfectly baked Aubergine in an onion, tomato, and almond sauce. For desserts we thoroughly enjoyed Tarta Quesos with an intense, fruit sauce and Tarta Santiago, an orange flavoured, feather light almond flour sponge with ice cream. Wine and beers were spot on and, most importantly, service was warm, friendly but also speedy and efficient. The whole experience was delightful and we would commend La Sal to anyone looking for unfussy but top flight and beautifully judged Spanish cuisine. Which, if you're not familiar with it, give it a try! We will be back in the future.

Monteiths

We were looking for a Sunday Roast for our Spanish relatives to experience and everyone was delighted!Besides the roast, their haggis went straight into our favourites we’ve ever had in a restaurant. Their pork belly is also an easy win.We ordered a side of wild mushrooms that could’ve easily been a main dish.Both the brûlée, and the rum and (lots of) raisin pudding were enjoyable and at the level of the main dishes.Service was perfectly correct. Can’t wait to be back soon!

Domenico's

We haven't had such amazing Italian food for a while! Everything is definitely worth it, we've ordered a starter of the day (nduja, avocado & prawns bruscetta), main of the day - halibut with potatoes in creamy leek and artichoke sauce and venison ragu. Everything exceeded our expectations. Flavorsome, big portions. Super nice staff and overall atmosphere make this place an absolute gem!

Aurora

Ate here today after seeing a vegan social media post. Was phenomenal! Every course was amazing, thoughtfully presented and delicious. As a vegan there was no compromise, the main even had juicy marbles soy protein! It had everything - artichoke, parsnip, sunflower seeds, sage leaves… all my favourite flavours. Cheeseboard was the best I have ever had, EVER! Petit four was perfect. Can’t wait to go back and see the next menu. Staff were amazing and on the ball. Great value lunch, don’t know if my husband could manage the dinner as we were so full. I will certainly be back to try.

Meze Meze

Nice place to have lunch or dinner, is a turkish restaurant but having a good variety of mediterranean food, as a spaniard I find here healthy food very similar to my home food especially respect to salads.I am living in Edinburgh so I can have a rest from UK cuisine and enjoy mediterranean food. Presentation and portion are fantastic.Is the forth or fith time we come here and we plan to come back!

Mussel Inn Seafood Restaurant

Fantastic seafood at this Rose Street restaurant. Come here for some kicking Moroccan mussels. The sea bass was good too. We also had a sav blanc bottle too. Sticky date pudding was good too! Scallops were good too.

Storries

delicious baked goods. got a pastry at midnight and it still managed to taste fresh. i am so glad there is a bakery open 24/7 to fill any sweet tooth cravings with delcious, high quality food at any time of the day. This bakery keeps me

RESTAURANT

I arrived from the Airport and Ai can say it's really close to trams station for 7.5 pounds. Staff was really friendly and I felt quite nice there. Room was clean, bathroom was right and food at bar was right. It was according my expectations and make me feel right

Sushi Daily The Jewel

Shell

Convenient location when heading out of town, spacious forecourt, clean, small shop and pleasant staff. Fuel prices ok, not the cheapest but not the most expensive!

The White Lady - JD Wetherspoon

This was a great find! Lovely big rooms and were spotless, and a tray full of tea, coffee & biscuits!! Staff were very friendly and gave excellent service! It's ideal for the buses going into the city centre. On the whole had a great night's sleep very quiet! Would recommend to anyone. The food was great as well.

Counter Edinburgh

Very nice rooms. I have been to Edinburgh more than 10 time for work but I have never had a very nice sleep until I stayed at Native Hotel. It is clean, comfy and homey. And the receptionists were very nice amd accommodating. Excellent service! I would definitely recommend.

hub by Premier Inn Edinburgh Royal Mile hotel

Great location. Room was well set out and the bedding and towels were good quality. The grouting in the shower was mouldy and black, which other reviews have stated too. This is a shame and why I gave a 3 star room rating.The communal lounge and dining area is super and staff are friendly and helpful. Breakfast is brilliant value at £5 per person and there are takeaway cups available for hot beverages, which is a good idea. I noted that the food and drinks menu was very reasonably priced.We stayed in room.225 which was very quiet and peaceful being at the back of the hotel.I happily stay at the hotel again, when the grouting issues in the showers have been resolved.Walkability: Fabulous central location, we were only minutes away from many points of interest to us.Food & drinks: The menu is simple but well considered and competitively priced.

Shell

Called in, as I always do to refuel before a long drive north. My exhaust was giving me trouble and been unable to get any garage to tie it up with a metal strap to let me get on my essential journey north. On the forecourt was a man called Davie, wearing high-vis Shell gear. He offered to fill my car, but I'd already begun. He said he'd noticed my car was noisy. I told him the exhaust was hanging down and was hoping I'd get north 150 miles without it falling off. He very kindly said he'd have a quick look. So after fuelling, I took my car over to a quieter spot where Davie, got the jack out of my boot, jacked the car up and said he thought he could tie it up. After a bit of thought, Davie found a metal ring in his car that was big enough to loop round the offending pipe and tie off. Raising the exhaust back to it's original position. This took him no more than 10 minutes. I was delighted with the result and Davie was pleased he'd been able to effect a good repair. I set off and Davie stood listening to the now purring car and bade me farewell with a smile and a wave. Then I drove into a 2 hour traffic jam and my whole journey took 5 hours, tiring, but less noisy, thanks to Davie's deft repair. Thanks to Davie, I got home safely, with my car intact. It's booked in to have the new exhaust fitted this week. I have to say, he did this with a smile and a glad heart, despite wearing a bandage on his arm, supporting an injury of some kind, (I thought it rude to ask). Davie is a real asset to the staff at Crewe Toll filling station, and his cheerful, friendly welcoming disposition would put any frayed motorist at ease. I hope you enjoyed your pint Davie. Cheers! See you next time I'm in to refuel before heading north.

Shell

Great station with good range of soft drinks snacks and hot food. There a lady with long dark hair ( tied up )she’s worked there for a long time. I was fuelling at Shell Friday glad to see young lady still there. Customer service is five star Always treated well Would recommend

Shell

First time at this station for a while. Great to see the friendly face of the lady who has been there for 10 years now. Always service with a smile there. Shop spotless as usual.

Surf & Turf at Holyrood Hotel

Went here for afternoon tea with my daughter, following a spa treatment. The staff could not be more helpful and the food delicious. My daughter is allergic to gluten and they were very careful to make sure that her food was as it should be. The scones were excellent and all of the baked goods were moist. The bread was even delicious!For my vegetarian option everything was just as good. We would most certainly recommend this and will return.Vegetarian options: A good selection of egg and cheese sandwiches.Dietary restrictions: Gluten Free option was perfect. The baked goods were moist as they should be and even the bread was soft and enjoyable which is very difficult to find.

Shell

Nikhil has to be recognised very cheery lad and very helpfulI could not lift my shopping basket, he packed all stock and left in to my boot I am regular here and all whole team helps

Stone Willy's Kitchen - Edinburgh

bp

This review is specifically for Jurg who works as a customer service assistant at the station. I have been to the station many times and served by different staff. Jurg stands out by a mile; polite, courteous, respectful, helpful. I hope his attitude can rub off on some of the other staff :)

Cast Iron Grill

Food was good but how are you going to call yourself a grill without a steak? Why do you not have grill food. I also paid walked out and 2 people asked me if I wanted it charged to the room. I paid!!!! The manager asked me at the elevators.

Teuchters Landing

Went 2 occasions recently for breakfast and dinner.Cosy pub with a great drinks selection. On the pricier side compared to some other pubs. Portions for most mains decent size, but some were small (haggis). Steak pie was pick of the bunch, mussels were nice but sauce/ stock watery and fairly bland. Cullen skink superb.Big brekkie is fantastic.

WestRoom

Went here for dinner to celebrate my 'big' birthday. The food is outstanding - so fresh and delicious. We had the Pizzette, Arancini, King Prawns, Crispy Zucchini flowers & Antipasti between the 3 of us which was more than enough food. All washed down with lovely bottle of Trebbiano. The service was wonderful, the atmosphere was lovely. Very reasonably priced too. This really is a hidden gem and we will definately be back again.

Bellfield Brewery - Taproom & Beer Garden

Brilliant Customer Service and great beers. Emailed a specific request yesterday - replied very quickly saying no problem and 24hrs later the beers arrived. Great job.

Kay’s Bar

The most incredible wee pub - as in proper pub - I’ve ever seen. The fire place is the cherry on top. Nae tourists, no highland coos, no overpriced shortbread, just a proper tiny pub for friendly locals, with great staff and a lovely selection of reasonably priced cask and keg ales. Need to bring back the shrink wrapped ham and cheese n pickle bar rolls. Outstanding place that deserves every penny.

Colinton Inn

Brilliant village pub, impeccable service. Providing meat and cheese platters. It's either rammed or quiet, choose your moment. Screens provide typically sports (rugby). Standard beers and wine list.

Salt Horse Beer Shop, Bar & Kitchen

Had a lovely evening here during a recent trip to Edinburgh. Fantastic large beer selection, a craft beer lovers dream! We had burgers, fries and cauli wings, food was delicious. I’m really sad I don’t live more locally because I would be ordering that vegan burger all the time. The guy who served us was lovely, really friendly chap, and intimate atmosphere was perfect for a date night. Will be recommending to all our friends, and will definitely be back ourselves on our next trip to Edinburgh!

Foresters Guild

We visited the Foresters Guild after walking past many times. We certainly regret not visiting earlier. The restaurant is really nice. The booking online is generally easy although it would be helpful to see a map of the restaurant when booking, as the bar area is actually bigger than the restaurant area, however, food is served in both sections.Our first visit to the Foresters Guild was for dinner. We had the pan seared scallops as a starter (to share), and the Spanish Chicken burger and Foresters Beef burger as the main. The food arrived quite quickly. The starter was incredible with the black pudding being really juicy. Whilst the chicken burger was the best chicken burger we’ve encountered yet, the beef burger was overwhelmed by a rather big and dry brioche bun. On a later return visit the brioche bun was much fluffier and suited the burger better. Overall, a smaller brioche, or an alternative bun such as ciabatta or pretzel might be a better fit.The real highlight however were the Foresters Fries. We opted for the Truffle & Parmesan fries and the Haggis & Peppercorn fries. The Haggis fries were a bit messy to eat, as you can imagine, but really flavourful. The Truffle fries are good when craving something lighter and simply heavenly. We would definitely recommend trying either of these and will come back for these fries alone.We returned for breakfast and chose the full breakfast with the option for extra pieces. The sausages and bacon were outstanding. Some of the best bacon we’ve had, and we’ve had a lot of bacon in the past. The black pudding was also very good. The Haggis on this occasion was rather dry and certainly would not have made Robert Burns’ “Ode to the Haggis” proud. But overall it was very filling, worth the price and we will definitely come back to indulge.The restaurant is clean and the servers are nice, although nobody stood out in particular and all interactions were kept very short.The menu also allows plenty of options for vegan and gluten free requirements, without limiting options for people without dietary requirements. One of our celiac friends thoroughly enjoyed the restaurant as well.Overall we were very happy with our visits and will certainly return in the future.Dietary restrictions: Full Gluten-free menu available on request. Plenty of vegan options as well.

The Bowlers Rest

Amazing pub, the landlady is a keen musician. I went for a session to play, and it was fantastic she gave us food and was really sweet met some of the locals too . Great

The Auld Hoose

So after clattering up Arthur’s Seat (and down again) there could not be anything better than a cool IPA at this chillin’ comfy pub with friends and good music ?Vegetarian options: OMG the nachos with guac ?Kid-friendliness: Who doesn’t love kids in a pub?

Element

During my Scotland trip, I was flue and felt quite dizzy. While I was looking for a restaurant which i can eat soup to make myself feel better, I had come across this place. I tried their potato soup and it worked!

The Black Fox

Genuinely one of the best gastropubs I’ve been to.We went on a quiet Monday night, our first evening in Edinburgh. Sam and Freya were so friendly and made us feel right at home with good banter and fantastic suggestions. The meal itself was great. We ordered two burgers which came with a generous serving of salad and fries. Surprisingly good price too. The burger was amazing; juicy, absolutely full of food and cooked to perfection. The kiwi bloke behind the grill knows what he’s doing.Overall I wish we had more time in Edinburgh so we could return - a highlight of our stay! Thanks team!

Butternut Squash

Had an amazing night at Butternut Squash last week at the Spiritual Evening ✨ Started off with probably the most delicious pesto pasta I've ever eaten (& I can be fussy about my pasta!), amazing & friendly service & finished off with a fabulous spiritual evening of readings & conversations. Love this place ?

Chop House Leith

I took a friend visiting here late on a Monday evening. There was only 1 other table dining at the time and I fully expected the team to tell us they were closing early or be slightly put out by the unexpected late arrivals. This could not be more opposite from what happened.We were warmly greeted by the team working and given 5* service throughout. We enjoyed the amazing offer on the porterhouse steak (possibly the best steak I’ve eaten in years) after sharing some lovely tempura prawns.The two working were knowledgeable, personable and friendly throughout. We never felt rushed even though we were the only people there. 10/10 and will definitely be back.

The Huxley

Lovely place to sit and watch the world go by. Pure vibes. But don’t pee in the sink, it looks like a urinal. It’s not a urinal, found out the hard way. Even worse when I realised it goes through to the women’s side too.

The Wally Dug

Amazing pub! Great selection of whisky and beers! The manager Ari is amazing very attentive made us feel like we are local in this pub for years. Gents needs some refurbishing i believe.

Mary's Milk Bar

A friend suggested grabbing hot chocolate from Mary’s Milk Bar, enjoying it with a view of Edinburgh Castle. It might not have been the wisest move to also indulge in gelato outdoors in November, but the chestnut and whiskey flavor was absolutely fantastic! ?

Clarinda's Tearoom

Cozy little tearoom on the way to Hollyrood and the Scottish Parliament. I stopped here for a snack (a nice cup of Scottish Breakfast and a delicious slice of carrot cake) and oh boy oh boyThe tea and the cake are awesome, just like the staff that politely recommended me what to have for my afternoon break. The place is small, comfy and very well decorated. 10/10, I love this place

LOWDOWN

As a lover of specialty coffee, Lowdown hit the mark in every way. The coffee was unbelievably good (I had the flight), it was served and discussed with passion and love, and the space to drink it was beautiful and wonderful refuge from the Edinburgh rain.Do your research and come prepared to drink something new, prepared by amazing baristas who are obssessed with great coffee, and you won't be disappointed. This is not Starbucks!!

Piccolino Edinburgh

I have dined at Piccolino together with a sizeable group. We all ordered differently, and we all fell in love with our food! Seems like you can't get it wrong here - high quality specialties and authentic Italian flavours. I had the paccheri "with a twist": salmon and prawns instead of the usual venison (it was the special of the day). Absolutely gorgeous! The staff and atmosphere are also to be praised - will certainly head back here when in Edinburgh next time!

Dusit

All staffs are friendly and nice. In a way, most menus are very authentic foods and taste. But I wasn’t sure this is really delicious, I feel something is missing in food.

Golden Bite

Epic portions of tasty food from genuinely lovely people! The owners were so friendly and personable. We had a lovely chat while they cooked up fresh food. Would highly recommend this place.

Roseleaf Bar Cafe

Dinner without reservation, cosy and warm small cafe. Had soup of the day & fishcakes, sea bass main, sticky toffee dessert and a couple glasses of wine. Excellent, friendly service. Bar and side room seating, accessible restrooms.

Gordon's Trattoria

Usually we are skeptic with Italians restaurants abroad, but this one definitely worth it.We tried both pizza, pasta and risotto, all were well done, tasty and delicious.

Hey Palu

Top bar in Edinburgh, hands down! The banana jungle bird is the best cocktail I have had in a very long time. Staff were attentive but not overbearing. Great selection of drinks. 100% would

Edinburgh Gin Distillery

I had an amazing time here, Lucy our tour guide knew so many interesting facts about gin and whiskey! It was so cool and so interesting to see how it was made! Some nice gins to taste too! I reccomend the Christmas one with ginger beer ? will definitely be visiting their shop by the end of my trip to send some home!!! Thank you for an amazing time!

TGI Fridays - Edinburgh Castle Street

We visited this location for dinner this evening and we can say that we had a great experience. The atmosphere was typical American as is every TGI, but the mixture of European architecture was well done.The food was also superb. Our server, Carmen, and Manager, Kristy, were very helpful and attentive to make sure our food allergies were taken into consideration and worked around. They went the extra mile and made us feel welcomed and had a great dinner.This made us feel valued and appreciated. We would definitely recommend the restaurant to anyone looking for a good burger in Edinburgh!

The Richmond Cafe

I cannot recommend enough! They have a lovely variety of food that is delicious and great value for money - so many options too! The staff and owner are all very helpful and friendly - always make you feel at home. The cafe itself is very cozy and clean - by far my favourite place in town. Highly recommend!

Ada Restaurant

Extremely underrated restaurant is the best way to put it! Actually one of the best restaurants in town with the friendliest service. Very authentic Turkish Mediterranean cuisine, with generous portions. The perfect way to kickstart a long day of travel. I'm from NYC and plan to return here anytime I'm in Edinburgh.

Cafe Marmalade

Fantastic little cafe in Leith. Popped in for a coffee on a Saturday then went back for breakfast on Sunday. Lovely, friendly service and terrific food and drinks. Can't recommend this place highly enough and I'm annoyed that it has taken me this long to visit.

MUMS Great Comfort Food

Had a lovely time. Great food, fun environment, friendly staff.The vegan Sheppard's Pie is fantastic and the crumble is delicious with custard.Big thumbs up the the house lager.Definitely worth a visit.

Costa Coffee

Staff are great especially with kids, the food variety isn't amazing but it's improving. Could do with more kid-friendly food options across the chain in general but the coffee is decent and the facilities are clean. It's really all I was asking for. Well unless they open a soft play with an attached cafe, wouldn't that be a dream...

Costa Coffee

We came through on Saturday 16/9, to get my autistic daughter her usual. The staff were so pleasant from the drive through speaker to the window, the two staff we experienced were so friendly, polite and just chipper. Refreshing to meet staff that are so friendly.

McDonald's

You used to walk into Mcdonalds and there would be a mass of staff saying "welcome to Mcdonalds, how can I help you", then you'd queue for a short time and your meal would be prepared right in front of your eyes. Generally, this isn't the case anymore - our local Mcdonalds (Telford road, Edinburgh) hardly ever has staff at the tiny little counter and when you use self service and and table service, it can take in excess of 20mins to get your food to your table (it's certainly not FAST FOOD anymore) BUT... THIS McDonalds, (Newbridge, Edinburgh) had lots of staff. We used self service to order, and table service (we have a toddler!) and the food came within less than 10mins (even though the restaurant was busy!), and was really hot/fresh. The restaurant was full with lots of atmosphere and staff attentively pottering around. It felt exactly like how Mcdonalds used to be. Well done for keeping up the standard guys!

The Kitchin

* A note on grades, I rate outwards from three stars. *A culinary highlight of our trip to Edinburgh and London in May of '23. We arranged for a late lunch on a gloomy Friday and were immediately charmed by the attentive (though not intrusive) service. The drinks and locally sourced food were top-flight.Highly recommended if you find yourself in the Edinburgh area. Make reservations.

The Grain Store

My family and I (8 of us) had an exceptional lunch in a private room here. Everyone loved the food so much, and the atmosphere was completely cozy and inviting. Probably the most memorable part though was Paul's hospitality and warmth. I would definitely recommend coming here!

The Abbey

Easy pub to miss, despite being on a main street. That would be a pity as the food and drinks are definitely a cut above most pub fare. Friendly service. As others have said, the range of whiskies is beyond impressive and their flytes are well curated.

Wedgwood The Restaurant

Had a lovely meal at Wedgwood. The food is delicious - we had hake and chicken for mains, and sticky toffee pudding and chocolate sachertorte for dessert. Lots of gluten free options too. Will highly

The Ivy On The Square Edinburgh

Visited for breakfast on Sunday morning, accidentally booked the wrong time but the staff were very friendly and accommodating.Breakfast was divine, exceptional quality as always. Eggs Benedict was one of the best I've ever tasted, and the pancakes were fantastic too.Luxury breakfast and experience for a reasonable price.

Restaurant Martin Wishart

Front of house staff were excellent. They were attentive. They knew the menu completely The were able to adjust to my views, whims and needs without a blink The food was amazing and adjusted my requests not on the menu without any issues I had grouse - one of my favourites It was the best I’ve tasted I’ll certainly be back and will definitely recommend to everyone Thank you to everyone working in the restaurant today for making it special and a lunch I’ll remember

Brasserie Prince

Cocktails were amazing. Service was fabulous - Peter was very friendly and professional. He knew the menu incredibly well and was kind enough to recommend things to do. 5 star service indeed !Only a 4 star because of the toilets sadly.

Black Bull

We came in quite late on Friday night, our sever Megan was absolutely lovely! We were noticed and served very quickly by her, we will definitely be back hopefully Megan will be in so I can pass on my gratitude.I didn't rate the food as we only had drinks.

Number One

5 star all round, if I could give more stars for the service I would. There last night, 18th November and for the life of me cannot remember the team's names probably due to the wine but the team were fantastic. Attentive, polite and they also humoured me and my awful patter after a bevvie. Genuinely a fantastic evening. You should be really proud of the people working there!!❤️

Thistle Street Bar

This should be your first stop in Edinburgh! One of my favorite experiences while visiting! At this bar, you’ll find the friendliest staff who know locals by name. They’re so kind. Having lived in Edinburgh all their lives, the owners provide great recommendations on things to do in the city. The vibe of the bar is perfect, it feels like an authentic pub experience.

Condita

The presentation, the service, the food were all impeccable. The attention to detail with the ingredients, the textures, the balance of flavors were unmatched. The excellent service complemented the delectable courses.

The Pompadour

First class experience dining at the Pompadour last night. Brilliant, high quality food, beautifully presented with well matched wines. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. I would highly recommend and will most definitely be back soon.

Fhior

Fab-u-lous!Fhior has been on our radar for a while and we finally managed to align the stars and make a booking. A pleasant welcome in to a smart, minimalist dining area. A stunning, well balanced, seasonal tasting menu, hard to pick any favorites, though the bere barely bread was a highlight. All perfectly prepared, cooked and presented as you would expect, service just right. A delightful evening; look forward to coming again.

The Colonnades at the Signet Library

We booked the afternoon tea on a rainy day in Edinburgh, and it was a wonderful experience. The service was lovely and welcoming, and the food was delicious. I would definitely do this again!

Rhubarb

One of the best experience in Edinburgh. Not only the food was delicious but the service was brilliant and adorable. We even had a complementary tour of the hotel with the concierge walking us through history of the place and historic pieces, decor and suites. It was nothing but a luxury adventure. Thank you for making my partner’s birthday so special and for the unforgettable memories!

Scrumptious Snax (Snack Bar)

Tried the bacon cheeseburger and big bubba, both were superb! Service was amazing too, the girls were friendly and even threw in some free chips as they were closing.

GF Café

I stopped here for a leek and potato soup and a lovely dairy free biscuit ? loved it. Will definitely go back now that I discovered this place. It is difficult to find GF options and having a Café where you know everything is gluten free is amazing!Dietary restrictions: Dairy free options available

Kawaneko Katsu & Coffee

Tasty, authentic Japanese food! I was pleasantly surprised. I had the pork loin katsu and also tried my friend's chicken karaage. Both meals were very good, with big portions. We were so full afterwards so definitely good value for money?I also loved the interior decoration, which was cat-themed. ?It's a small restaurant, so reservations are recommended.I'll definitely be back. Thank you!

Khartoum Cafe

De vegan falafel, vegan kaas en aubergine wrap was echt lekker. En de man die er werkte was echt superlief. We hebben er met z'n tweetjes gegeten en gedronken voor de lunch voor 20 pond, dus ook

Nutan's

The food was incredibly delicious and authentic. And what made the visit extra special was the owner, she’s such a lovely and welcoming woman.We‘ll definitely come back during our stay.

Cafe Edinburgh

On 11th November, my wife and I visited this Cafe. Today was our first visit. About 5 years, although we saw, we never visited to this Cafe. Yesterday, we wanted to drink tea or coffee. So, we visited to this Cafe. All staff’s ladies were very good. And our ordered drinks were very good. Looking forward to having lunch or dinner soon! Thank you!

Union of Genius

Situating near Forrest hill road and McEwan hall, Union of genius welcomes students and passer-by to try its variety of soup. There are around 6 soups or more to choose from. Soup comes with two sizes and I go with the big one which I think you can be full.I tried the chicken with white bean. It’s warm and and flavorful. The onion toast is quite novel for me but impressive as wellThe free crouton also add other textures to soup as well.For someone who doesn’t like veggies I think it’s quite good and healthy food even though white bean is too big for me (personally speaking)Nothing is better than a warm soup during a rainy or chilly day.

Down the Hatch

Service was amazing. Burger were tasty and juicy and the Poutine is the real deal, I say this as a Quebecer. Dog friendly , quick to get your food and very tasty coffee. Beautiful area. Can’t recommend

Vietnam House Cafe

Amazing Place to eat vegetarian haggis , the portion is huge and the people in there is vwry kind and smiley.Loved the place. I would recommend everything in that placeVegetarian options: Vegetarian haggis and falafel

The Deli Global

Very nice little deli/cafe near many Old Town attractions. We stopped in on our way to the National Museum of Scotland. There is not much seating, so be forewarned if planning to sit in. However, the prices are reasonable and the food and drinks are tasty. We enjoyed the homemade soup of the day and two very cheesy toasties. Nice service as well. ⭐ Thanks!

Susie's Vegetarian Kitchen

A low key, very friendly restaurant run by a delightful wife and husband team. The food is well balanced, full of flavour and of course spankingly fresh. The cakes are always great but if the rice pudding is on don’t fail to take at least one portion.Kid-friendliness: Suzie and Iain are always charming with our children.

Dreadnought Leith

Nile Valley Cafe

Absolutely delicious wraps here - the chicken falafel and hummus were fab. Friendly staff, and could tell the quality of the food by the constant stream of students coming in to eat. Would definitely recommend and such good

Momo Nepalese Kitchen

I recently dined at Momo Nepalese Kitchen in Edinburgh, and it was an exceptional experience. The cozy ambiance, coupled with the warm hospitality, created the perfect setting for an enjoyable meal. The menu boasts a delightful variety of Nepalese dishes, each bursting with authentic flavors. I highly recommend trying their momos – they are simply divine. The staff was attentive and provided excellent recommendations. Overall, Momo Nepalese Kitchen exceeded my expectations, earning a well-deserved 5 stars. I’ll definitely be returning for more culinary delights.
