Mary and Vincent are such a joy to work with, their service is unparalleled. Compliments to all the cooks and chefs, the haggis is delicious, and they even made special accommodation. When I asked for one of the sides was that the main course. If you are looking for some traditional gastropub Scottish Fair, you have come to the right place. Hopefully I will get to return many times during this visit and our future trips to the city. Thanks again to Mary Vincent and the entire team!!
Definitely tried to hang a spring rolls and the haggis that is on the main course alongside the veal. Also, I highly recommend asking about the variety of champagnes and whiskeys available. Sticky toffee pudding is not to be missed.
We had the soup of the day which was a lovely squash soup.
And the scallops are some of the best I've ever had, all local and perfectly cooked

I love The Magnum! I went there for the second time with my best friend and it never disappoints! The Magnum is more than a restaurant. The warm atmosphere makes it seem like you’re at a friend’s dinner party, not just dining out. The staff makes you feel genuinely cared for, adding a personal touch to every visit. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax, like you’re part of a community, rather than just a guest at a restaurant, plus it’s pet friendly! The food is fresh, delicious, and well presented, and they have a great selection of cocktails and wine and the service is top notch! Last year, I ordered a Vieux Carré cocktail, but they didn’t have one of the ingredients. This time, our server remembered and surprised me with the cocktail without me even asking! I was really impressed by the level of service, It was such a nice touch.
You can definitely trust this place, it’s a real gem!

We had a group of 10 friends traveling and everyone raved about the dining experience and the fabulous food. Magnum is a great place and reasonably priced for the delicious plates.
Alexandra Gartrell
Delicious Haggis spring roll, Padron peppers and chicken slider starters. Wonderful Sunday Roast (beef). Great service!
John Hartley
Really enjoyed our meal here. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff, and the food, while not being pitched at the Michelin star level, is very good. Imaginative combinations and attention to detail showed. We had the venison dish which was outstanding.

Compliments to Chef Peter for a Most Excellent Scottish Culinary Adventure, served by a lovely Spanish Waitress & a Wine Pairing from Scottish Barman Lewis that certainly did not disappoint...
We will be back ?

This is hands down the best restaurant we've been to in Edinburgh. The food was well prepared and delicate, the meat was cooked to perfection, the Cullen Skink was the most flavorful I ever had and the staff was lovely. Would definitely recommend!
John Carey
The food was absolutely incredible. The wine was really nice, and the atmosphere was superb. The staff were extremely accomodating, even letting us move our booking time after our show overran.
Vegetarian options: I had the open ravioli, and the aubergine, and it was hands-down the best aubergine I've ever eaten. Beautiful blend of tastes and textures I'll be trying to recreate at home.

My partner and I spent 4 evenings in Edinburgh last week and dined at The Magnum twice despite attempting to try a new place each day. We just had to come back because no other place could live up to the quality, atmosphere, cosiness and sincerity of The Magnum. Amazing staff and a wonderful clientele of mostly locals - a testament to the effort and passion put into this little corner of the city. The dish “Aubergine Involtini” was a strike of culinary genius and the little puff pastries served as an appetizer were a great surprise. Both evenings we arrived without a reservation and were seated at the bar since the restaurant was fully booked - this was truly a strike of luck as we would sit alongside kind local regulars who really made us feel at home. We are so grateful for the wholesome evenings and hope to come back in the future. Fun Fact: As soon as we landed back in Denmark, we ordered 3 of the whiskeys we tried at The Magnum: Auchentoshan (both Three Wood and American Oak) and the Talisker Port Ruighe. The bottles should arrive by mail today.
Vegetarian options: I tried the soup of the day, which was French Onion soup and the dish "Aubergine Involtini". Both were very delicious!

Thank you to Sarah for looking after us pre Funeral. You went above and beyond for us as you were still in the middle of opening.
