20 Restaurant in Edinburgh, City of

Beautiful modern bar for drinks with a stunning view over Princes Street and beyond. Great service & atmosphere. If you’re looking for a classy place for a few drinks, go here!

One of the best meals ever had in Edinburgh. Service was good and food was really excellent! I would definitely recommend it... and surely will go back in the future!

We visited Twenty Princes St for lunch, (we have stayed in the hotel and have visited a few times for cocktails and afternoon tea) All I can say is outstanding, outstanding food, outstanding staff and service and absolutely beautiful surroundings. The presentation was amazing on all courses and the added touch of paired wines with your dessert was just an extra little touch that made it special. All 3 courses were absolutely delicious. Staff could not have been more attentive. I dont have a bad word to say.

Fantastic atmosphere, in a historic building. I love the old book feel of the restaurant and the service is always fantastic! Tonight we were taken care of by Pepe, Rafa and Alejandro. They are all very knowledgeable and friendly. You always feel welcome when you visit and the food is absolutely delicious…I wish I could give it another 5 stars! I shared the bread selection with my friend then the pea tart with a side of truffle parmascan triple cooked chips. Of course I had to finish with a split of my favourite dessert which is of course the sticky toffee pudding. The bread was still warm, presented beautifully in a wooden board with 3 unique butters…my favourite was the herb. The pea tart was the perfect balance of herb, cheese and egg. All presented in a puff pastry base. The truffle chips were a little oily for my taste but I still enjoyed them, although I wish for more cheese next time! The sticky toffee pudding as delicately sweet with a good helping of toffee sauce and not too sickly scoop of vanilla to help keep the dish from not being overly sugary. The pear creates a fine balance with the caramel sauce and pudding. Highly recommend!

5/5 We were pleasantly surprised by this restaurants AMAZING menu!! We had no big expectations of this hotel-restaurant, but boy, were we surprised! The view and decor is simply grand! Funky and tasteful atmosphere that makes you feel welcome while staying classy. But the most important is the food! Each plate we tasted was simply devine, from our starters to our dessert! Service was friendly and attentive to our heeds. I had a vegetarian meal that was original and very tasty. My friends had the best burgers they had ever tasted. Don’t hesitate ! Finish the night with a 12-year-old Glengoyne and voilà! The best Edinburgh can offer !

Great setting, delicious food, first class staff and service. Can't recommend highly enough, 10/10. So good we dined again two nights later.

The restaurant was absolutely amazing!! The food is out of this world along with the kind and warm service! We were served by the lovely Pepe and host (I’m so sorry I can’t remember your name :( ) and they both were absolutely amazing. We were even wanting to thank the chef personally for the remarkable food. It was our first date night in months and it was all truly special because of this place! Thank you guys, we will be visiting again when we next come to Edinburgh! X

Afternoon tea was fantastic, and the staff were knowledgeable and friendly although it was busy service was excellent

Great views Good friendly service Meals were very good varied menu Recommend highly We also had drink in Juniper bar adjoinig.

Some of the written reviews on this restaurant are good and I’m happy for those customers. However, for us it was as bad as it gets. The restaurant was about half full, perhaps a little less when we arrived at 19:15. There were two wait staff, a man and a woman. We were seated and promptly forgotten. Forty-five minutes later we got a glass of wine so that in itself indicates the service was very poor. Both courses were served cool or cold on cold plates which didn’t help as the restaurant was also cold. My wife ordered the venison and there was no guidance on how it was cooked. Perhaps uncooked with blood was the chefs way of cooking the dish, either way it was inedible. After two long hours there even trying to pay and leave was difficult. The male wait person was deeply engaged in a long conversation with other guests paying no attention to customers in general. Yes, pretty bad, definitely the worst restaurant I have eaten on this visit to Scotland. The owners should ashamed.

A very warm and friendly welcome from attentive staff. Lovely afternoon tea….a real treat! We’ll be back!!!!!!!!!!!!

We got there and was greeted by lovely staff that got us sat down at a table of our choice. When questioned on what wine I should get the waiter was very knowledgeable and helped me decide. We got the bread to nibble and the cheese soufflé served with it was incredible! The steak was cooked to perfection (I asked for it rare) and the staff were so attentive! It was my birthday and without being asked or prompted they brought me a complimentary brownie. We had a waiter called Pepe who was so lovely!

This is the nicest place I have been in Edinburgh. SO impressed by the vegan options considering they're not a specific vegan restaurant, absolutely blown away by the attention to detail and the care on every plate. Would especially like to thank the waiting staff who looked after us, Anna - THANK YOU, you have such a warm attitude. Pepe and Rafa also very attentive and could not have made us feel more welcome. What a luxury to be asked if we were ready for dessert or would we like to wait after our mains. An absolute must visit for anyone in Edinburgh!

Firstly, the quality of the food & cocktails provided by 20 Princes Street was very good... however, our experience was all a bit weird. On arrival, the greeter at the downstairs door, was officious and not welcoming. Upstairs, they couldn't find our booking, (we had one!) which was off-putting and doesn't help the evening start well. The cocktails ordered (not listed on the menu) were superb and cheered us up. One of us doesn't eat onions/garlic and this was accommodated however, I requested that the potatoes in my chosen dish be swapped with ANY other veg & this couldn't be done. I've not eaten potatoes for a year - eat out weekly, and this is only the second time this has happened to me. The refusal came from the kitchen, with 'we're too busy.' What too busy to replace potatoes with some broccoli?!?! The waiting staff were not relaxed, so this made us wonder what is going on in the background... are the chefs grumpy? The food was very good, the choice was lovely, wine reasonable however, the staff weren't keen to offer us a 2nd bottle of wine at 1045hrs (?wanted us to leave) and at 1105hrs, the lights were switched up to very bright, signalling they definitely wanted us to leave! And leave we duly did!

Over in Edinburgh for a getaway and went out for dinner with my partner to Twenty Princes St. We had a bread board to start, it was okay. For mains I had ordered the chicken supreme, the chicken itself was nice, however it was accompanied with an assortment of random foods that were not listed on the menu such as some sort of fish cake and beans, also looked nothing like any of the images I had seen online. It was a quite disappointing meal for myself which did put a dampener on my evening.

Amazing food & fantastic service from Anna! Can’t wait to return again very soon. The views are stunning across Edinburgh. Thanks for a wonderful evening!

We had afternoon tea 5 stars is not enough it was simply amazing food staff environment second to none. I would recommend everyone to try it well done 20 Princess Street 👏

Very bad service we were there for lunch arrived 1.30 took an hour for them to ask if we would like a drink and starter the maines took another hour to arrive witch was cold and burnt the manager didn’t seem to care over priced frozen food.

We had a wonderful time at this restaurant. It has amazing views and the food was fantastic. We had Pepe and Danilo as waiters and they could not have been more attentive. We had the festival menu and all of us had different things. It was absolutely delicious. I can’t wait to come back here again. Hopefully soon!

A new venue for my annual Christmas afternoon tea with friends. The menu was lovely, very Christmassy, and the extra plate of hot scones went down a treat. Great value for money and wonderful service from our waiter. Highly recommended

The restaurant had a nice cosy vibe to it, my friend and I really enjoyed a chilled and quiet time there. We had the Festive Dinner menu, we had the option of choosing from a variety of dishes for all the starters, mains, and desserts,...

Twenty impressed us immensely. So much so we went back twice during our three night stay in Edinburgh. We never eat in hotels but this was different. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the food is superb and excellent prices for the high quality....

We would like to express my sincere gratitude to our waiter, Danilo. He provided exceptional service that exceeded our expectations. His positive attitude and friendly manner made our dinning experience even better, making him an invaluable asset.

We went for dinner for a friend's 40th birthday. The restaurant could not have been more helpful in advance with allowing us to send in some table decorations and a cake. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious. We would definitely return.

Amazing location, very elegant and at the same time warm & cosy. The food and the drinks were simply gorgeous, high quality, fresh and with a very creative twist! Loved the haggis and the monkfish pakoras,ribye steaks cooked perfectly with delicious sauces and the cranachan...

I was in Edinburgh with my wife for her 50th birthday. We'd been to this restaurant a few years ago and had a great time. And, even with the huge choice of restaurants available in Edinburgh, all she wanted to do was come back here....

The atmosphere and food were excellent. The staff was wonderful. PePe, Enrique and Anna anticipated our every want and need. Food preparation and presentation was outstanding. We would highly recommend.

Pepe and Anna are absolutely the best. The food is also top notch! Every entree and desert is exceptional! The macoronry and cheese is noteworthy! Thank you so much for the wonderful experiences! Can't wait to return! Kudos!

Amazing food & service relaxed ambiance Pepe Tamas & Danilo go above & beyond, helpful friendly guys always made welcome @ each visit looking forward to seeing yous next Saturday with our friends ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Delicious food and beautiful views! Steaks are just mouthwatering. Outstanding service, Thank you Tamas and Danilo! 😊

All I can say is that the whole dining experience was top notch. The staff attention to detail was exemplary. I would like to especially like to praise Anna and Peppe who’s attention to detail made the dining experience extra special. The food was exquisite...

Amazing experience, came in for a quick dinner meal and our lovely waiter Pepe made it even more special, since it was our anniversary provide us with a sweet plate. Thank you very much for this lovely evening.

great first visit ,next time would probably give a 5 star. lovely building with space for private conversations , efficient staff and very nice food. highlights-burger,lobster tagliatelle & those puddings.

From the warm welcome at reception this restaurant blew us away. The dining room is stunning and spacious enough for conversation without feeling like your on top of other diners. The food was beyond excellent. The homemade bread and starters were delicious. We opted for...

Lovely traditional setting. Delicious food and drink. We enjoyed the spinach and potato gnocchi, pea and watercress soup, pork ribs (listed as starter but large enough for entree), & lobster tagliatele. Good service.

Pepe, our waiter, made a 70th birthday celebration so very special for us. Cannot recommend this place enough. Fabulous food and incredible service.

The restaurant is very welcoming and the food is good. However, what really sets it apart from other restaurants is the excellent service, highlighting Mr. Pepe who transformed our meal into a magnificent experience, due to his professionalism and dedication to customers.

Perfect restaurant for a family occasion. The food is delicious and the waiters are very friendly ! Special mention to Pepe for his kindness, thanks for making this special dîner even more special !

I went last week for a b-day dinner with my aunt and everything was amazing. We had requested a table by the door and they managed to put us in a perfect spot. The food was delicious and we had an amazing service from Pepe....

Such a lovely day at twenty princes street with the family. Staff were amazing, shout out to Pepe who was brilliant with us, as was the others! My son is 4 and fussy, as no chicken nuggets and chips on menu they made them specially...

Great place, great food. Amazing view from the restaurant window. Best place in Edinburgh to go out to eat for sure. Plus the waiter Pepe, he was very friendly and charming. Definitely coming back again.

I don’t normally leave reviews but wonderful service was given to us which made it an even greater experience. Pepe especially was incredible.

Scallops are unbelievably amazing. The rib eye steak was incredible. Tamas was our server and he was so attentive and friendly

We booked this restaurant for our first night in Edinburgh as it is part of our hotel, Hotel Indigo Princes Street. The food was delicious and the service was exceptional, and the location was great since we just had to walk downstairs. It’s has high...

Having dined at Twenty Princess street on a few occasions our group we’re really excited to meet for lunch here, but we’re left very disappointed. Our first disappointment came and the much reduced menu from previous trips we then decided to order from the Prixe...

Despite being a little difficult to find, this hidden gem is in a fabulous location opposite the Edinburgh Waverley railway station on Princes Street. Up 1 flight of stairs finds a spacious stylish space with a quirky art display and views of the city from...

Amazing food and atmosphere with top notch service (thanks Thomas). Shared a surf turf platter and the scallops. Get the seat the near windows and enjoy the views.

Had been recommended by my Daughter as amazing and certainly didn’t disappoint. What a fantastic interior and well laid out restaurant overlooking Princess Street. The starters were amazing, the Cauliflower Cheese Soufflé was something else and the Scallops lovely and fresh and full of flavour....

Had lunch here recently with some friends. The food was very good but service was slow - over an hour to get first course from when we sat down. The restaurant was not busy. Did try to raise my concern with one of the staff...

We ordered our food and waited 60 minutes for starters Ordered fillet steak and returned as it was raw Next time around it was still raw ….this time we refused to have it warmed up as our friends had already eaten their food Will never...

Absolutely wonderful. Beautiful surroundings and settings. Staff were excellent and very efficient. Food was delicious. We went for the set menu which was great value for money. Sat in a window seat which offered panoramic views of Edinburgh.

We had a beautiful 2 course lunch today for £20 each with great views of Princes Street. Amazing Haggis Bon Bons with neeps and Mash and creamy Fish pie and Smoked Makeral Salad and Glazed Blade of Beef with Chips. cant understand why they were...

Well I had just about walked the little legs off myself & my phones with dying so came across the The Indigo, popped into Twenty. The loveliest gent greeted me (I looked like I'd run a marathon!) Told me to pick wherever I wished to...

We stayed here for 2 nights over New year and we were booked in to eat on the first night only. The food was that nice, we changed our second night plans and ate here again on the second night too! Both nights, the standard...

Xmas lunch for 5. Food was nice. Restaurant was cold which did not make your visit enjoyable. It is a very attractive setting and staff were attentive .

First class service from checking in to departure. The staff are friendly and tentative. Ideally situated across from the station. I had a room at the front overlooking Princess Street it was clean and warm with a comfortable bed. I can recommend the breakfast but...

An awful experience which ruined our wedding anniversary. Starter of scallops was a rip off, £15 for 3 tiny lukewarm scallops. Husbands starter of haggis was over cooked We both had steaks for our main, I had a fillet which I asked for medium rare,...

One of the best steaks we’ve had!!! Ordered the flat iron steak, medium well. Cooked to perfection. Tender and juicy, so good that I felt it’d be a waste to eat it with the peppercorn sauce. But I stand corrected. The peppercorn sauce that came...

Mediocre! Food was cold, but service was well worth it thanks to Giuseppe. Couldn’t have done more for us, fabulous service but food a let down!

Contrary to some earlier reviews, we had great service at Twenty Princes Street. The four of us had a Friday evening reservation at 20:00, and there were several tables just finishing up when we arrived. Once our waiter came to our table, our service was...

We visited last weekend and had a wonderful meal. The staff were incredibly attentive. Our cocktails were amazing. The food was good too! The restaurant was quiet as it was late on Sunday evening, however the atmosphere was still lovely, and the restaurant is very...

We went on Saturday the 17th for my mothers birthday. When we arrived we were seated but waited 15 minutes for someone to take our drinks order, we then waited a further 10 minutes for them to come. The food come and was lovely but...

We booked a table of 30 for our wedding day in Edinburgh. On booking we dealt with a lady called Claire who was so helpful and accommodating. She helped me to choose a reduced menu for our guests to preorder from and sent me lots...

Very solid. Perfect Sunday lunch without the heaving crowds. Generously spacious and lovely dining room. Super staff (Vanesa was a delight). The lunch special is worth checking out but the a la carte is pretty great too. Thanks for a fab lunch. The local artisanal...

We recently went to Twenty for a special occassion our daughters graduation. The restaurant is beautifully located looking out over Princes Street and the Old town. We had booked for 8 but were reduced to 6 due to covid. The restaurant did not have a...

My third visit to Twenty Princes St and again another good experience - good service, delicious food and delicious cocktails. We went on a busy Saturday evening and while service was a little slow it was still friendly and delivered all we wanted.

This was beyond disappointing. We had booked a meal for a birthday party for four people and I am shocked at how they can serve something so desperately sad and pathetic and charge as much as they do. On arrival the setting was beautiful, the...

Booked well in advance and asked for a window table, overlooking Princes Street. Very nice decor, good good, service needs sharpening up a bit. Overall a really nice meal.

We visited Twenty over the Bank Holiday weekend and had a booking pre dinner for the juniper bar. Planned months ahead for my 40th birthday dinner and part of a trip away. My other half tried for weeks to contact the venue to try and...

Located within the same building as Hotel Indigo on Princes Street, the menu for this restaurant was what enticed us. It was easy to book online in advance. First impressions of the restaurant were that it was very spacious, well presented and generally looked worthy...

SLOW inattentive service even though we were there at 1815 and pretty empty restaurant Getting drinks (even top up water) was a challenge as staff not interested Worse Steaks we have ever had- tough & tasteless Two dishes not available (lamb and pork) Dessert (toffee...

We’ve been to twenty a few times now, we’ve found it can be hit or miss with the menu. However, friends gave us a voucher for steak and wine which we used. The steaks were so tiny. We ended up having both a starter and...

We chose to dine here to celebrate a family birthday and given that when you book you are asked to mention any special occasion it disappointing that the birthday was never mentioned. Despite being a Saturday it was very quiet which was surprising as it...

Food was okay. Badly overpriced for what it was but the worst part was the service. Genuinely awful. Drinks orders forgotten after two attempts, pre-ordered food and they didn't get that right, waiting for almost everything and the attitude was the worst part especially as...

We really enjoyed our dinners at Twenty. Beautifully decorated restaurant has wonderful views overlooking Edinburgh Castle, Princes Street, Old Town, Hotel Balmoral, etc. Food was great and to our liking. Service staff was attentive when we wanted them to be, and left us alone at...

We had a lovely meal and the service was excellent. One of our party had crutches so mobility was a problem. When we paid the bill we asked for a taxi to be called. Waiter did this no problem he gave ua a ticket with...

An amazing meal, great food, good location, lovely ambiance and not too expensive. Don’t be fooled by the outside, the inside is lovely.

Lovely food, drinks and atmosphere and great service received from all staff. The restaurant has a lovely ambience and there’s plenty of space meaning you’re not squeezed in or too close to other tables. Would definitely recommend

We went for lunch today and it was practically empty (Friday lunch- time) - lots of staff milling about, but service was poor. We ordered cocktails which were full of ice and very little alcohol - extremely expensive for very little. We had a shared...

Booked for our sons 18th birthday celebration, had booked for drinks in juniper bar at 7.30 before dinner at 8.30. We had to ask twice if our table was ready as it was after 8.30 no one came to say table is ready. Eventually said...

We were meeting up with old friends to celebrate my wife’s (covid delayed) birthday. From start to finish the service was impeccable and very welcoming, the food was beautiful and the setting and decor were superb.

Dined here on the 12th December. Arrived considerably early and the staff went out of their way to seat us despite us being happy to wait at the bar. Service was fantastic throughout, drinks waited regularly and promptly. Food delivered within minutes of ordering which...

Amazing food, surroundings, service and value again. Had the 65 sharing platter (again) and it was even better than last time. Everything about this place reeks quality. Excellent meal again. Thanks!

First impressions are important! I hoped that the the greeting we had from the doorman when entering the building wasn't going to set the tone for the evening. He was cold, gruff and just gave one work answers. Less than friendly and bordering on rude....

Had the sharing platter for two, ribs, prawns and steak…for a small fillet steak which was nice, prawns were ok, still digestive track in them which was off putting, ribs were small and needing cooked longer. Poor for £65!! Bit of a canteenish experience. Getting...

I have eaten in many restaurants from the cheapest to the most expensive but i can honestly say this was the best meal I have ever eaten. The staff were superb, the food was amazing and the ambiance was perfect. What a fantastic time, can’t...

Our visit was amazing. Our server Ryan was phenomenal! We started for drinks at the bar and later went into the restaurant, where Ryan asked if we would like a better table to see the city. Amazing views, amazing food, amazing service. We will 100%...

We had a wee night away in Edinburgh and decided to visit 20 Princes Street to celebrate my husband’s birthday. I’d been there before, with the girls and had enjoyed it, so had no reservations about visiting again. Lovely meal served with attentive service. There...

Brilliant food, great atmosphere and service was first class! A hidden gem, with great views of the city. Thanks for a fabulous evening :-)

When we arrived prebooked we were greeted with a huge sigh and rolled eyes by the maitre d’. Shown to our table. We ordered fine. Noted that the Americans next table were being treated like royalty so maybe put on American accent if you go....

The staff were nice and attentive. Regarding the food there were some good and bad points. The starters were incredible- the haggis and black pudding on French toast was rich and creamy! We went for the sharing platter with the ribs, steak, prawns, fries and...

Had a romantic dinner here on our first night in Edinburgh and loved it. Steaks are delicious but the take away highlight for us were the cocktails- absolutely divine 😍

I have visited here before due to being very central and close to Waverley station. On the first occasion, it was adequate but the service was quite slow. I visited again this weekend as I thought it may have been a one off. I booked...

I like Twenty Princes Street, it has a great location, food and prices are reasonable for Edinburgh city centre. Restaurant itself is beautiful. We didn’t have a booking but I would say at least 9 plus tables were free at the time we got there...

Very poor experience. Unfortunately I can't judge the food, just the reservations policy and management. We had a dinner reservation through OpenTable for a table in the bar area. Lots of nice pictures of juicy steaks and turned up super hungry, ready for a super...
