Auld Hundred in Edinburgh, City of

Fantastic lunch the haggis balls and whisky sauce followed by steak pie magnificent and super friendly staff.

Fantastic dinner in a Scottish pub, recommended!!

Busy and crowded pub, good food, pleasant service. We went back twice, for drinks and for dessert after a disappointing meal elsewhere. I would return.

A cozy atmosphere with super friendly staff and a ok meal. An ok place to go for lunch.

We ended up having a meal here by chance and I'm so glad we did. It's a very busy pub downstairs and restaurant upstairs. The menu is just perfect for me and the food wad delicious. Staff very friendly. I will definitely now be making this my place to eat when having a day out in Edinburgh. I'd highly recommend booking.

So good we went twice on a two day stay, will be back. Staff, service and food were all good.

Traditional unpretentious “boozer” pub. Old school is how I’d describe this place in the most delightful way. Downstairs is the pub with stools & barrel tables making use of space in an almost ad hoc way. Great selection of drinks, non alcoholics, & a plentiful variety of whiskies to sample. Roatayion of sports in the TV and live music on varying nights. A spiral iron staircase take you upstairs to the dining area & the noise of downstairs drops away. Very attentive & friendly staff yet the dining remains relaxed. Traditional decor & food. No frills, nothing fancy which lends itself to great simple meals executed very well. Sunday lunch is very popular so make sure to book! This is the type of place that should be in guide books for visitors to Edinburgh who want tradition through & through.

We had pre-booked and were seated right away. Unfortunately it was so busy in the pub area downstairs and people were sat on the staircase that is was uncomfortable and difficult to get upstairs to our table. We were also seated right next to the servers stand so had no privacy for conversation. The staff themselves were great and the food was good pub grub at a reasonable price for the centre of Edinburgh.

Fantastic service from the staff

Great wee pub! Friendly staff and great priced drinks. Dog friendly too.

A lovely pub with it's own restaurant up the stairs, very warm and cosy atmosphere, the food was EXCELLENT, the fish and chips were top notch, very well priced too.

Hidden gem! Great location, great service and tasty food. You can eat delicious haggis at a fair price. I truly recommend it!

Absolutely great roast in a comfortable venue. Ambience was good although bit loud from people watching the rugby downstairs. Would definitely recommend.

Great experience Lovely Staff Cosy Atmosphere even when busy Beautiful food

The ambience is great! A great pub! We ate a burger, fish & chips and a salad there. Unfortunately we didn't find the food that good. The fish was very, very soft and far too expensive (20€) and the peas unfortunately tasted very old. My companion Semi liked the meat from the burger. Below was the bar and above was the “restaurant”. I would definitely come back, but only to visit the bar.

Lovely little pub with great food

Very cozy, good service, the food was very tasty and so were the drinks. Standard prices

Forget all the fish and chips desserts you know. This is the best in the world

Working for a few days in Edinburgh and had lst night to myself. So did my research looking for: - traditional menu (specifically Haggis Neaps and Tatties - Guinness on tap - Live music - character I found this beauty and it ticked every box and more. It is very traditional as you enter downstairs off the Main Street. Then head upstairs following the food sign. You are greeted at the top of the spiral staircase with a smile and a warm greeting. The ambience feels lovely from 1st moment. Staff are friendly and very helpful. Guinness ordered and mains and all appears very quickly. Even had the soup of the day as my sweet course (as wasn't sure if to commit as starter just in case). Food finished and maybe treat myself to the Malt of the Day whisky as await the live music. What a place! Food amazing and young staff so friendly and helpful. Even bought one of their t-shirts to support them and remind me of this amazing place. Thank you for such a lovely evening and I'll be back!

Loved it! Best experience in Edinburgh so far, quality food, quality drinks, and great people!

Good service, awesome food and a fun ambiance. The place does fill up fast though, so you have to be there on time, or be lucky later in the evening if you want to have dinner.

First time here. The staff were lovely, friendly and attentive. Delicious food. Would definitely return.

Traditional Edinburgh pub with a very good food menu.

Our hotel staff recommended this restaurant for dinner. The first floor is a pub with a restaurant on the second floor. The overall ambiance was cozy, authentic and comfortable. The staff were all friendly and attentive. I had the fish and chips - fried beautifully and crispy and a huge piece of fish! My husband had the special - Cumberland sausage with mash and red onion gravy - decadently rich and delicious! The chocolate coconut cheesecake was a light and delicious dessert. We enjoyed our experience so much that we came back again the next night! We highly recommend!!

Ralph was a great waiter! Very helpful and knowledgeable about the menu. The haggis and tatties absolutely to be recommended.

Popped in here for some lunch before heading home after a great couple of days in Edinburgh. Great selection of food on the menu. Staff very helpful and friendly. Wee warning for those who have problems climbing stairs - to get to the restaurant area you need to climb a narrow spiral staircase so may not suit everyone. We each had a different main course, fish and chips, steak pie and haggis neeps and tatties - all piping hot and tasted great. Desserts were ice creams and the apple crumble, all demolished! Got very busy within an hour of opening so might be advisable to book? Would absolutely eat here again when back in Edinburgh!

Nice tasty meal- only had soup and sandwiches and coffees. Nice atmosphere friendly staff and no waiting , though it did get busy whilst we were in

Gets busy so book for lunch or dinner Food quality but they did forget one soup Overall , good service and good food at reasonable prices

Excellent!! Thank you Anna for fitting us in on a busy Saturday night and for coming down to the bar to find us when the table was ready - excellent haggis and service - despite it being busy we were not rushed. Have kept your card for next time we come - thank you so much - worth it!

Infamous service the bar waitress is disgusting

A delicious moment and a very good meal. Excellent welcome too. In short, great

Fantastic meal of haggis, neeps and tatties at The Auld Hundred. Excellent staff. Will definitely recommend

We had chips and drinks and it was delicious

Amazing,.the haggis is exceptional.. would recommend to anyone going to Edinburgh.

Definitely a hidden gem. Compact,but great all round. Book if you can.We hadn't but the short wait downstairs with a drink was well worth it. Staff,food and experience really couldn't fault. Returned next day.

This is a nice place to visit during the day but they will kick you out at night and let other people stay past closing. Some of the servers are super nice specifically this female serve though and will be more than happy to give you recommendations so I definitely recommend this as a lunch place, early dinner, or a place to see live music, before 11pm!

we‘ve been there for dinner and it was a good meal. we wanted to stay for some live music but it was quite crowded already.

The setting of this restaurant on the pub floor is super cozy. The cozy atmosphere is extremely pleasant. The welcome was warm (sorry for arriving too early for our reservation. We realized our mistake afterwards). The service was particularly attentive and the waitresses kindly adapted to our French ears. The dishes we chose were plentiful and really very good. The Auld Hundred Steak Pie really comes close to the flavors of a good beef bourguignon. We had a great evening. Thanks to the whole team

We went to try the Steak Pie and we were not disappointed: delicious! But the truth is that the desserts surprised us, the cheesecake with custard was very delicious and the sticky toffee pudding (I thought I wouldn't like it) spectacular. Also highlight how attentive and friendly all the waiters were. 100% recommended to try traditional pub food in Edinburgh.

Beautiful food, good prices on the food, The beer is expensive in my opinion

If your looking for a quick pint or two stop in. The food is standard pub food. Steak pie was okay, but not a true meat pie. Busy on a Saturday. Make a reservation. Cool atmospger downstairs in the pub.

Awesome pub with really nice food ! The service is friendly and really fast. When we come back, we will for sure go back!

We were very impressed by this pub. We felt right at home here and it was very comfortably furnished. The food was fantastic and the waiters were extremely friendly! We would love to come back.

Gets really busy but nice food and cocktails, good atmosphere. Lovely building.

Wow great atmosphere, service and food. Also prices are fair enough. I recommend you to try haggis there.

Can't ask for better Scottish food, it's too delicious!!

This restaurant was amazing! Katrina was our server and she was a blast! I got the fish N chips and a flight of whiskey. It was all fantastic and Katrina made it even more enjoyable by cracking us up! October 2024

The steak pie was fabolous. A special thanks to Amelie who chased us on the road to give us the phone forgotten at the table.

Terrible pub, bad service, rude staff . Ruined our visit to Edinburgh. So unfriendly and unhelpful

What an awful place. Arrived for a drink with some friends on a weekend away f lot s a 60 birthday. Were aloud one drinks, to be told we could not have another one……. Pathetic! Now sitting in another pub just down the road having a lovely time. Like I said before pathetic!! Do not bother going!!!

Awful place the lady was rude and inappropriate and bar staff appalling

We enjoyed our visit, the food, and the service. If you're in the area, it is worth stopping in for a bite.

Auld Hundred Restaurant in Edinburgh is a hidden gem that truly deserves recognition. From the moment you step inside, the warm and inviting atmosphere sets the tone for a fantastic dining experience. The food is outstanding, with a menu that delights the palate. I was particularly impressed by the Channa Masala; while it might not be the traditional Indian take, it offered a delightful twist that was both flavorful and satisfying. The soup of the day was equally impressive, showcasing fresh ingredients and a depth of flavor that left me wanting more. Auld Hundred also boasts an excellent selection of beers, perfect for pairing with your meal. The highlight for many, though, is the extensive collection of Scotch whiskies. Whether you're a connoisseur or a casual drinker, you're sure to find something that suits your taste. What truly sets this restaurant apart is the exceptional service. The staff is attentive, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about ensuring a memorable dining experience. Their recommendations are spot on, adding a personal touch that enhances the overall visit. Reservations are highly recommended, as this place can get busy, and it’s easy to see why. Auld Hundred is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy great food, amazing drinks, and top-notch service in the heart of Edinburgh. I can’t wait to return!

Very good menu! All homemade food, extremely tasty, both all the dishes as well as deserts. Must visit if you’re around! Prices also very good! Would definitely come back!!!!

Got to sing a couple songs during open mic nite. Dream come tru!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿❤️🍻🎶

Always a favorite when in Rose Street . Nice and busy the Sunday night I was in. Open mike night

Great pub, great service and excellent food. Price/performance ratio is very reasonable. We had the Coleslaw and Haggis Balls as starters. The haggis in the fried balls was very creamy and very nicely seasoned. A slight spiciness on the finish. Plus a great sauce. Fantastic. The main course was fish & chips (you can add the vinegar yourself). Super. And we had the steak pie. The meat was very tender and the sauce was strong. Plus potatoes or chips. A wonderful dish. A visit here is highly recommended. We were lucky to get a table, it may be advisable to make a reservation in advance.

What a fantastic find! We were shown to a table and informed of the 'specials board' as well as the menu. We decided to try the local delicacy of haggis neeps. The food was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. The staff were professional, polite and spent time to explain about the mamy whiskeys available and the origins. Would definitely recommend.

Seems very popular. We had to wait for a free table. It was a good opportunity to taste different draught beers !

Decent wee pub. Singer/musician was good.

Great pub on popular Rose Street. Stopped in for a flight after striking out at a previous pub. Had multiple flight options and took the bartender's recommendation of their "flight of the month". There was a lively crowd there for live music at 9 PM. It was a great place to hang out, and there was friendly chit-chat at the bar in between songs.

Kleine kaart met prima voedsel. Vlotte bediening met een creatief twistje. Moesten even wachten in het café beneden. Daar is een lekkere whisky proeverij te bestellen

We had Sunday lunch beautiful and lunch today its a wonderful place for a meal and a drink

Friendly Staff, great food and good vibes

Ewan was great, she was so friendly, efficient and very helpful. We had scampi and beef pie and the food was up to expectations.

Very nice environment. The pub has live music and decent food at a reasonable price. We were very thankful to be served by Alex who assessed us for gluten free options. There are plenty available plus the possibility to change bun bread in burgers.

Beautiful pub, delicious food, reasonable prices and live music in the evenings. Immediately again.

Wonderful lunch of fish/chips @ this century old restaurant. Of course, fish was fried perfectly. Portions r humongous. Waitress/owner were friendly, informative. Good value, great food!

A great place to eat. 3 of us are visiting Edinburgh, Found Auld Hundred. Service from Alex and Ralph was top notch, enjoyed Haggis Bonbons so much we ordered another plate. Roast Beef dinner was slow roasted and served in a Yorkshire pudding plate ! WE will go back for another meal.

A great cosy pub for drinks and food. Barman was super helpful and our waitress was engaging. Food was superb, a real must visit!

An amazing place to eat. The food was super tasty and the staff were welcoming and friendly. The atmosphere was perfect for our family meal before our youngest starts university. Auld Hundred will definitely be a regular place for us to visit in the years to come.

Whoever was on aux was playing bangers only. Food also bangin

I booked this place as I wanted a steak pie for my birthday. On the internet I found a review about this place and decided to book it. I went with my partner and we both had a great experience, make sure you book a table as it was full on a Tuesday. We ordered the haggis bonbon as starter and let me tell you they are amazing, they come with a whisky sauce that is just delicious. I ordered the steak pie which I was very pleased with, and my partner ordered a burger that was mouth watering, big, and tasty (but I did not take a picture, unfortunately). The staff are also very attentive. It is a place to come back to, and we will bring friends and family since it was overall a pleasant experience. Would recommend!!

Friendly and friendly staff, excellent beer and food, welcoming and characteristic environment

Great Scottish food Should have booked a table, really long wait for a table

I only had a pint so didn't give high on food I like the place other than that.

If you pass through Edinburgh don't hesitate to stop by this pub, the atmosphere is very good. (Live music some evenings) As for the meal, we ordered a Brekkie burger, a steak pie, onion rings and a Guinness for a bill of 42.25 pounds. The dishes are copious and of very good quality (I recommend the aforementioned burger, it is excellent). On the drinks side you have a significant number of beer and whiskey. The service is excellent, thanks to Katrina for her welcome and good humor.

The pub is very well located and has decent vegetarian food. There is also a vegan selection, but we tried the vegetarian Haggis, which is great, as well as the homemade Mac'n'Cheese, which are also good but surprisingly come with fries. The staff is very friendly. Though, it seemed the place was quite busy and there is only one restroom for everybody.

Great atmosphere, nice staff, excelent food and service.

Came here for dinner. Service was friendly and the food came out relatively quickly, though the meal itself was so-so. Overall we had a nice experience, but not among our favourite meals that we had in Edinburgh.

Very interesting old restaurant. Good food and great homemade cheesecake.

Friendly staff good food. Very busy for a small place. Had to wait for a seat but made welcome so booked for following night.

Very interesting pub in the heart of Edinburgh. Stopped there after a pint and the waiter told us there was a 20 minute wait so we stayed for a pint downstairs until they came over to call us. Food is great, we got a steak pie and a vegetarian haggies dish, both delicious.

Lovely late lunch between Fringe shows!

Amazing restaurant, food, service all 5 ☆ plus ,

Great food, nice drinks and an extremely nice staff that managed to find a place for us even during a busy afternoon.

The place was really busy at lunch time but we managed to get a table for 2. The food and drinks came quickly considering how busy it was. We were served by a very friendly girl called Hannah. Soup was lovely as was fish and chips and steak pie. Lemon and lime cheesecake was amazing and great value for money. Will definately go back.

Very helpful staff, Katrina explained the different kinds if Whiskeys and what might suite my taste the best.

Pub downstairs, restaurant on first floor. Cozy atmosphere, normal Scottish menu. Attentive and helpful staff.

We have been here several times before and we have been craving Haggis since 2020 when Covid made us unable to travel. But now (2022) we have enjoyed a perfect Haggis and the whiskey sauce was wonderful. Another good Ale was perfect. Now in 2024 we are here again and absolutely the best Haggis in Scotland and we have eaten it in many different places and locations.

Everything was delicious and they treated us very well.

We had dinner there, good food. The staff is nice. But the best part was the open mic night for music; super fun!!!

Age group 60 silly barmaid who claimed to be manager in the middle of festival refused us a drink sorry there is a difference between drunk and having fun

Nice meal. Steak pie was delicious

Fantastic place with high class food and service. Best fish and chips ever and vegetarian haggis (!). Do not miss this place if you are in Edinburgh.

We stopped in for dinner. We had reservations but not sure if you need them - the dining area is small and comfy so I would recommend it. The soup of the day was Potato Leek which was smooth and creamy. The Haggis BonBons are like an umami flavor explosion that I definitely recommend. The fish and chips is a healthy portion - super hot and crispy. The Big Brekkie Burger and Better Brie-Lieve It Burgers were delicious. Our cocktails (Rusty Nail, Godfather, Auld Fashioned, and Mezcal Mule) were are perfect. The warm and moist sticky toffee pudding is an amazing way to end the meal... If you have room!

very good service and very pleasant people, good food and a good place.

If you want traditional Scottish dishes this is a great place to go. Great value givens its location so close to the Princes St. My party informed me that they serve such a tasty haggis dish that anyone who is interested in trying it should come here. Not enough places put Brie in a burger!

A wonderful Scottish pub. The beer selection is not large, but well curated. There is a restaurant, but I cannot comment on that because I didn't try. The menu looks typical for the area and priced correctly. They have AC for those warm Scottish days(mid sixties fahrenheit). I've been there twice so far this trip. Try the Barney Red Eye ale.

I had excellent Barney's ale some super whisky and the best haggis dinner during my stay in Edinburgh. Staff are friendly and helpful 🙂
