Very relaxing atmosphere and great staff. As tourists they explained how restaurants work on how ordering and getting the check.

I was in Edinburgh for a week recently and, even with all the great restaurants, I ate at The Magnum 3 times. Why? The food is excellent; Delicious small bites, starters and main courses. I enjoyed every dish I tried, and loved the Cullen Skink, the scallops, venison, and haggis spring rolls. Great, professional, courteous service by a hardworking team. Nice, warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Magnum was convenient to my B & B in The New Town, however, it is worth travelling from other parts of the city to enjoy this lovely, lively restaurant / bar.

Found this restaurant by accident walking home to our holiday apartment. Following day booked a table for four, this was a very busy restaurant/bar. Excellent service, the food was amazing. We weren’t put under any pressure, the atmosphere was so relaxing.I would recommend trying this restaurant.Thanks to all the staff in The Magnum who all were very hard working and pleasant.

Husband and I had a meal here last night, fantastic food and excellent service from our Spanish waitress (apologies didn’t ask her name!). Can’t wait to return! Would recommend without hesitation!

Cosy, elevated pub experience with great service. We had the cullen skink and the open ravioli, which were both divine. Good for kids. Nice touch with a Lochlea whisky flight tasting at the table too. Will definitely be back the next time we’re in Edinburgh!Kid-friendliness: Had a decent kids menu

I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Magnum, and it was truly an unforgettable experience. We went specifically to try the Scottish traditional soup - Cullen Skink, which was absolutely delicious! We also had the Venison Tenderloin as a main, which was also perfect!The overall dining experience was one of the best we've had in a long time. The restaurant boasts a great selection of wines to complement the meal, and the cozy, intimate atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing time there. The service was exceptional, with attentive staff ensuring that every detail was taken care of.I highly recommend this place to any visitor or resident of Edinburgh. It's a must-visit destination for anyone looking for exceptional food, a warm atmosphere, and outstanding service. We can't wait to return!

Nice place. Good atmosphere. Food is reputablu good. However if going solely for drinks note prices are very high in relation to other places in the area
An unexpected delight, we stumbled across the magnum and the food was delicious. Haggis Spring rolls were a real treat, forget everything you previously thought about a spring roll and try these!

We arrived and were seated in the dining room at the table directly across from the stairs. We were provided with menus and given 10 minutes to peruse. We were given tap water and ordered a bottle of the Malbec. The food was aVery good standard and the complimentary small bites between the courses a very nice touch.I had wanted to eat here for a while and I wasn’t disappointed.
