On a 5 day holiday here I’ve come here more than once. I usually prefer visiting a different restaurant every night but I couldn’t resist coming here multiple times.The service is fantastic, especially with their whiskey. Josh, sat next to me and explained the different whiskeys to me without being condescending. His service is incredible, and he remembered us each time we came.Speaking of whiskey, their flights are sorted by region, taste, age. Then a selection of 500 other bottles.The food is magnificent. Their Haggis is a must try, it’s a lot better than I expected. Their steak pie is also a great talking point with magnificent plating for both dishes.

(Written by Brian Watt - partner) Five of us had a family meal in the Abbey last Saturday evening and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The food was great and with a varied menu which suited two vegetarians among us. Service was quick and friendly and being a long-established local pub it has a wide variety of popular beers and lagers. We go out every couple of months and tend to go to City Centre restaurants where the beer choice is very limited ! We commented the following day what good value the Abbey is - both for the meals and the alcoholic/soft drinks we were ordering. I should mention as well that the person serving us happened to hear us talking about the Snooker that was on TV that week and without any prompting on our part he had it showing on a couple of their many TVs. That was a nice touch. We all agreed we'd go back and I can highly recommend it to others, be it Edinburgh locals like ourselves or tourists visiting the city.
