Cadiz in Edinburgh, City of

Charming staff, great ambiance and really wonderful food. We had a great evening here on the first night of holiday to Edinburgh, so much so, we returned for another excellent meal on the Sunday. Cadiz is definitely on our list for our next trip to Edinburgh and highly recommended.

We visited Cadiz to celebrate my sisters birthday and had an outstanding evening. The restaurant was quite quiet for a Saturday so we were moved to a better table, had lovely conversation with the Manager and delicious food. They then cake out with dessert and sang happy birthday 🎂

Been many times and never had a bad experience. The food and service is spot on!

Early tea Saturday 5pm as going to cocktail festival after. Very busy - and appeared lots of people using groupon voucher which I had looked at and very good value but included a cocktail and dessert (which didnt want). However, from seat could see cocktails being made and looked very good. So a la carte for us. Gordal olives not overly impressed with (about 8 on small dish) and had recently bought 900g jar of gordal olives from lidl for £1.99 that tasted better... However main of monkfish tail cassoulet absolutely delicious + husband had very chunky cod and chips. No veg included with either mains so added buttered greens. Atmosphere was very chilled with piped Spanish music. Only thing that found a bit strange and only discussed with husband after we left was that chairs are lower than expected (I'm 5ft5, he's 6ft) and he thought had triggered his sciatica- I thought my boobs at table level!

I recently visited this seafood restaurant, and I had an excellent experience. The ambiance was warm and inviting, perfect for a relaxing meal. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection, but what really stood out was the exceptional service. The waitress named “ Michelle “was incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel welcome from the moment we arrived. Highly recommended.

Nice lunch out, great value - 3 courses for £25! One star off because there were stringy bits in the malt vinegar which were apparently a normal thing and consisted of non-toxic bacteria that helped the vinegar fermentation process but were very off putting to us when they came out on a portion of chips

Food was so so delicious, though the house salad was the only thing I was not 100% impressed with. The welcome and waiters were great and pleasant all the way through and we had a lovely time dining there. I’ll definitely come back as I can’t wait to try the paellas!

Very delicious seafood outstanding service

Excellent food and excellent service. Reasonably sized portions at a reasonable price. Highly recommend the monkfish and king scallops. Manager and server were very attentive.

Bought a voucher for 2 excellent value for money

Manish was our server he was fantastic, food was amazing. One of the best meals we had.

Had the 3 course lunch on Saturday 14/09/24. Food was of good quality and nicely presented. The restaurant was busy and had a good vibe with mixed clientele. Service was also attentive. Would recommend.

We found this restaurant through tripadvisor and was a great option ! Perfect environment, excellent service and very tasty food ! Totally recommend it! I wish we had an extra day to visit it again!!

Excellent food. Friendly and helpful staff.

We had reserved for 4 people. The ambience is generally nice and cozy, even with the subtle Spanish music in the background. Unfortunately, we can only give the Cadiz 3 stars for the following reasons: One waitress seemed very unmotivated. We also ordered a bottle of white wine with our meal. Our glasses were well filled right from the start. After a short while, we hadn't really drunk anything yet, the remaining wine was divided into our 4 glasses and the bottle was emptied, probably in the hope that we would order a new bottle. The food was generally good. Unfortunately, the service had a negative impact on the experience.

We found this restaurant through the tripadvisor site and we were totally satisfied! Very nice atmosphere and design, the food was very tasty and the service excellent! What is more the location is very good as well !! I would visit this place again ! 😊

Super delicious, great service, great atmosphere

Ibamos con espectativas positivas para comer....pero cuando trajeron los platos estuve a punto de irme. De Español solo tenía la música...ni los camareros , ni el maitre, ni la comida , ni los cocineros, ... Pedimos boquerones fritos y estaban mas durísimos...solo pasados en aceite y con mucho pimenton...horrorosos... Despues la carta ponía "Paella de marisco"...ufff! Era un rissoto amarillo en toda regla, con mucho queso...eso si una gamba abierta por encima... No tomamls nada más...pagué y nos fuimos. La simpatía del servicio, penosa. Estoy de acuerdo que si quiero comida española, no debo comerla fuera de nuestro pais, pero por favor cambiarle el nombre al restaurante, y no pongais que es comida española...

A special dining experience. It was a busy Friday evening in Festival time but service was outstanding. Food was tasty.

Visited with an Itison voucher for 3 course set menu . Must say it was a very good menu with plenty of choice . Food was excellent and everything tasted fresh . Shout out to all the staff we met , they were all great . Will certainly return . Thanks to all at Cadiz .

Wonderful service from the moment we sat down to the end when they told me I had left my nag behind! Food was amazing (calamari and scallops, followed by mussels and seafood risotto) all accompanied by a blue Chardonnay, yes blue! Each dish was great and very tasty.

Honestly wish we had visited this restaurant sooner! We have walked past a number of times and always meant to try it. Our meal was delicious and the service was faultless! We had whitebait followed by scallops and prawns. For mains we had steak, half a lobster and monkfish. All were cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back.

Average place, quality was OK but definitely overpriced. I do not recommend the place

All flavors were very balanced, the sauce on the cod dish was creamy yet spiced well to bring the other components together. The lobster was spectacular no possible complaint cooked well and the seasonings complimented the flavors very naturally. Special mention on the scallops which were brought out in a sizzling pan, the parsley butter was great for dipping the bread in. They had a decent wine selection i recommend the new Zealand Sauvignon blanc I would say the service left me a bit disgruntled, they seemed a bit uncomfortable with a younger patron. The prices were also fairly high for the amount of food.

Had a really lovely meal at Cadiz on 24/07/24. We both had the VIP menu and all 4 courses were just superb. Top marks also to the waiting staff who were very attentive, friendly and efficient. We will be returning again soon 👏👏👏

My friend shiva recommend cadiz the food is ex-ordinary by chef Sumith and team. Manish hospitality is really good I loved each bite of food I definitely recommend people to visit Cadiz. You people made my lunch day out standing.

I was recommended by this place by my dear friend shiva. From the arrival, till the departure our service was too good by the manager Manish. The food is top notch by chef sumit and loved each and every bite of the food. Got a chance to meet the chef sumit and praised him how much I loved the food. Everything about the restaurant is beautiful and awesome. Will definitely recommend and go back again.

Our meal was amazing from start to finish. Manager was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Had the mussel starter and olives… small plate sizzling scallops dish- WOW! Also had the chocolate dessert… warm and scrumptious…

My partner and I experienced food poisoning symptoms shortly after eating dinner here a couple of weeks ago (28 June 2024). We had 10 oysters as part of their £2/oyster deal and they weren't even fresh (based on the fact they were completely lifeless despite dousing them in Tabasco sauce & lemon juice). Additionally, we also had the Mejillones (Mussels) and we suspect that was the source of the food poisoning since they tasted a tad off that day. The Gambas Fritas shown in my photo was the only noteworthy dish however, it feels almost disingenuous to praise any part of a dining experience that leaves you throwing up shortly afterwards. Despite reaching out to the restaurant to notify them of the obvious inconvenience caused by all this - as well as demanding a full refund of our £109 bill - they not only down played the validity of our claims but only offered a paltry £20 voucher as compensation. They claimed an investigation was conducted (in record time might I add!) resulting in no further evidence of tainted seafood batches being housed in their kitchen - obviously because we'd likely consumed the only spoiled batch on that particular day... Not only were they the FIRST & ONLY dining establishment that we ate at that day but had we not taken a detour home just to don warmer clothing before heading into town again for gelato then we would've experienced food poisoning symptoms in a very public setting (rather than in the comfort of our home). Despite residing within close proximity of Cadiz, I have no intention of dining there again - unless it's either by accident or as a result of amnesia - so their £20 voucher can suffer the same fate as their seafood dishes: wastefully being flushed down the toilet.

Booked Cadiz for my partner's birthday meal and it did not disappoint! Food was delicious, service was great and fast and the atmosphere was also very nice! The oysters were so so good, can't wait to go back!

Beautiful food in lovely surroundings with great staff. Will definitely return.

Consistent. Food and service in nice restaurant. Recommend.

The food was nice they have a set menu available I belive until 6pm and works fine , very tasty. The service was nice however we had 3 different people. Nice table set up. We will be back 😃

Really not good. The food was not at all good. The houses salad was tasty. We also ate calamari, seafood rice and the Iberico cheese / meat plate and sourdough bread. Everything but the salad was the worst food we ate all year (it’s June). We complained. The staff tried to make it right and offered a free drink which we accepted. But we still paid £70 for 2 people for food Which honestly is better at Aldi. The building is beautiful.

We had a celebration lunch for 15 at Cadiz on Saturday. The service and food quality and quantity were excellent. The set lunchtime menu proved to be very good value and the Chef's Table provided an intimate space for our meal. All in all, the Cadiz team helped make the lunch into a very special occasion.

This place is worth it! Great food and drinks.

This place was so good. The food was fantastic, the service was amazing, and the atmosphere was comfortable yet high end. Honestly the highlight of my experience in Edinburgh. I highly recommend this place.

Good food, better service Victor, professional and cordial treatment at the same time. Don't forget to try their cocktails.

Staff were very friendly and attentive. Restaurant was very nice with a good ambience. The food was excellent.

A lovely quiet table, even on a Saturday night, with excellent service, delicious food and good wine list. Could not fault it!

Complete rip off, not value for money. Cooking scallops with the roe on? £36 FOR 6 TINY scallops. Ridiculous. The rest of the food the padron peppers where gray. As of they had been lying about for a couple of days. Wouldn't recommend this to anybody. Feel.ripped off. Never AGAIN!

Very nice place, approximate service, medium quality food

Perfect lunch with lovely friendly service in a really nice atmosphere. Staff were just lovely and food was scrumptious. Definitely a place to go back to. Thoroughly enjoyed the Lobster Thermidor which was a special treat.

Tasty fish dishes, well located and good service

Had a great meal here last Saturday with my husband, 3 courses (plus a bonus soup to start!) Everything was delicious. My husband had a prawn starter then the haddock and chips for main. I had goats cheese to start followed by cod, chorizo, fondant potato and a lovely sauce. While not typically dessert people, we both had one - a chocolate fondant and a white chocolate cheesecake. Everything was 5 star (food, service and experience) and nicer than a Michelin restaurant we’ve eaten in before! Service by Manish and team was excellent. Thank you and we’ll be back!

Superb place and reasonable price. Very friendly and welcoming. We will certainly return.

Excellent food, nice experience. If you like seafood, pay a visit. Recommended.

Definitely a very delicious fish restaurant... I liked it very much and we had a very enjoyable evening... We thank all the employees....

The food was a total disappointment. We each had the £50 platter. Bland prawns and lobster with uninspiring mayonnaise dips. Totally underwhelmed. More food court than restaurant standard. Absolutely not worth £50. I wouldn’t go back even if it was half the price! Poor show!! The only good thing was the ambiance. What a let down!!

Both mussels and fish were alright The appetizers were good

We had the seafood platter, which was half a lobster, a couple of prawns and some mussels. The lobster and prawns had been overcooked and a bit dried out and this was partly covered by adding garlic butter. Although they has some pimento colouring there was no actual tase. Probably the best part of it was the chips.

Faultless. Exceptional service and food. Itison set course meal with cocktails. Previous experiences ( at other venues) often result in a lower standard of service & food when using voucher deals but this was not evident here, ALL the staff were excellent and the food was outstanding for all courses. Very impressed.

First visit and won't be the last. The seafood bisque is the best I've tasted in many years. The scallops with potato were also excellent. Good value for money. Varied and well priced (not extortionate) wine list. And what a pleasant surprise to not have a hefty service charge added - so we left one.

This was an incredible evening. The food was so good that we did not want to finish our food because it mean the meal would be over. We have the four course set menu and it was delicious. The aioli was so smooth. The cod in Serrano ham was so good. The service was just the right side of being attentive. Well worth a visit.

Really terrific! Seafood is the best ive every had until now. Service was also ok but would have liked another drink and we needed wait a little bit for the bill.

The food wasn't good. I ordered scallops and they were bitter. The wine served in the glass was already oxygenated....anyway....not worth it

First visit and we will be back. Excellent service Staff efficient and friendly. Good variety on menu and well presented. We enjoyed our meal. Place was busy and not large numbers of Staff yet staff seemed to keep things flowing no problem at all.

Food tasted like nothing for the price, we still felt hungry after the meal.

My friend treated me to lunch at Cadiz (a first for me) ! It was an offer with 3 courses and a cocktail and the choice was just superb. We had our cocktail first which was delicious then we had an amuse-bouche, (which was not small), it was a decent size bowl of soup with bread ! We then had 3 courses each which I have to say were amazing ! I couldn’t finish my main, I was struggling. The panna cotta was very tasty. BUT we found it all too much for lunchtime! The food we had would be good for an evening with a few hours to enjoy. I would like to make a suggestion of a 2 course (without AB) offer for lunch ! The portions are big and again I would say the food, service etc was excellent and price wise great value for money, but I could not eat at lunchtime again with this offer.

Visited with my husband for an evening meal. Service was excellent- staff all very friendly and efficient. Food was outstanding. We were on a set menu but the choice was still excellent. A La Carte menu looks fabulous. We had a bottle of wine which one of the waiting staff recommended and it was perfect with our meal. Ambience was lovely too - nice layout and lighting very subtle. Highly recommend

Mussels were lovely as were the scallops.

We were really looking forward to this meal as we had only two nights in Edinburgh but left a little disappointed. It took a long time to be acknowledged by anyone to order drinks, my partners chips that came with his fish were undercooked and the our server did not seem like they particularly cared that we weren’t happy with our experience. Unfortunately if we were to visit Edinburgh again we would not be returning.

I had the Seafood Arroz, the king prawns were flavoursome and I could eat the saffron rice everyday, one of the best meals I've had in a while. The service and atmosphere were lovely as well. I will definitely be coming back to have the rice again!

Celebrating in Christmas vibe, I try Cadiz located in busy and wonderful George street. As usual with lunch deals, I go with three courses. The pink peppercorn is quite impressive with the sauce and the fried is pretty nice. My friend tried chorizo ball which is not bad as well. The main course I had is Cod wrapped in ham. I think the fish is well cooked and the fondant potato is amazing but the ham might add too saltiness to the dish unfortunately. The wow is the chicken breast that I taste the glimpse of it. Tender and succulent is the word I feel for it. The dessert is the vanilla ice cream with chocolate praline. It’s nice but I couldn’t finish as the portion is quite big and sharable. The main course portion is satisfactorily big so 2 courses might be enough for me. The decoration is quite chic and sophisticated but the entrance might be hard to find as you need to walk and go upstairs. Recommended to come and try from savvy budget to the fancy a la carte dishes.

What a find this was. A really pleasant atmosphere and a really good vibe in the heart of Edinburgh with food to match. Specialising in seafood, the food was vibrant and packed with taste. The chef has an amazing ability to pack his food with flavour and seasoning was spot on. Highly recommended.

Mindblowing food that's prepared to an exceptionally high standards. We ordered a selection of small and large plates and not one disappointed us at all. Great service and amazing cocktails 🍸 with absolutely delicious tasting food. Definitely a restaurant we will be returning to when in Edinburgh for sure

Mediocre food good environment for relaxing waiter is a bit slow, both in the head and in real life, stares at you as if you are saying something stupid

Stylish, yet not too formal Spanish fish restaurant. Cod flaky, even more tasty was the crispy salty spinach. The chicken and black chorizo also went down well. We didn't intend having desserts, but had no regrets with our praline chocolate fondant. Friendly, knowledgeable waiter. Only snag - fairly chilly. So don't sit next to the window, and wear long johns.

The risotto is probably the best out of everything we had, even though the rice was a lil undercooked. Scallops and mussels were above average. Not really impressive though, but the atmosphere is great

Delicious food and lovely atmosphere. The young server with glasses was really great and very polite. The suited up manager unfortunately was very grumpy and inattentive.

A last minute find before leaving Edinburgh. The food was excellent, though portions on the smaller side. We had the Halibut and Cod. The tables are rather close together and I have a feeling we unwittingly involved the next table in our conversation. The bathrooms could do with more frequent cleaning as it seems they are shared between two restaurants. The service was great and overall we enjoyed our evening.

A wonderful place for sea food. Relax and comfortable. Food to high standard and excellent services. We have been there for lunch and dinner in the past few weeks.

The food was lovely, mussels was the best, had the seafood rice, it was nice but i didnt realise it was cheesy. I would def go back again

A perfect 10! I don’t often give a 10 but this was so well so deserved. Starters: scallops & prawns, mains: scallops & cod, From Cadiz With Love cocktail, wine, all sensational! Staff were so kind, friendly, attentive & accommodating. Beautiful restaurant. Lovely atmosphere. If you like seafood and cocktails, then you need to go here. Cannot recommend highly enough.

My husband and I went today for lunch on an Itison deal and absolutely loved it . The food was cooked to perfection and brilliant service - didn't get the waitress' s name buy she was extremely pleasant 😀

Best fush restaurant in Edinburgh. We visit every time on our way home. Great place and service is brilliant. Food is amazing

Very friendly and good service especially from Manish . Food was amazing’good atmosphere And all my family was very happy

Lovely atmosphere, food was first class as was the service. If you like seafood then this is the place to go!

Fantastic food and service, couldn’t fault anything. Fish perfectly cooked and presented. Made to feel really welcome and would certainly recommend

Morgan is your best staff member she deserves a raise we love her and she is amazing 🥰 she made our experience so much better.. this is the second time I’ve been to this restaurant cause I love it so much but she really made it for me x

Came again 11th dec 23 . Even better than before!! Outstanding food, service and atmosphere. Outstanding service from efficient , attentive and friendly staff, wonderful atmosphere, really good menus and high quality meals , not cheap but not bad value for money either. Looking forward to my next visit.

Great restaurant for seafood in particular. Six of us ate there last week and the food and service were excellent. Although the restaurant was really busy it wasn't too noisy and we could still hold a conversation over dinner.

Great place for fresh seafood and service

Went to Edinburgh for Christmas market and shopping with my wife. We are both seafood lovers. Walked into Cadiz without any booking, the waitress was very FRIENDLY and offered us a nice table in front of the bar. Ist impression was **a nice venue**. We had Seafood soup, mussels and Seafood Arroz. They were BEAUTIFUL. I wish I didn't have the German sausage at the Christmas market so I could try more in this restaurant. Will definitely visit this gem again. Highly recommend this place to everyone who like seafood.

First time visit and we were not disappointed. Very friendly welcome and service was first class. Food was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the bread and olive starter and the cod and chicken mains. Finished the meal off with a salted caramel chocolate cheesecake which was one of the nicest desserts we have had. Outstanding and we will definitely be back.

Scallops melt in your mouth, mussels large fresh and gorgeous. Service excellent. We had a lovely evening here.

Absolutely fantastic! The solefish and scallop mains were absolutely wonderful! And the wife found her favourite cocktail also!

5 star on everything here. The food was cooked perfectly for a great price and cannot fault the service from Manish. Thank you so much for making us feel so welcome. Manish, you are a delight!

Lovely peaceful ambience, tables well set out, we all had starters, they where served beautifully,2 had prawns, l had sourdough bread with a chilli butter, our mains where 2 fish and chips, l had lobster thermador served with french fries, to finish the meal we had coffee's l had pavlova, everything about this lovely place was just divine, staff are so polite and attentive, filling up water glasses etc. Such a lovely place to relax with good food and chilled atmosphere, we will be back 😀

Glimrende mad men lidt for endsige tjenere

Food was amazing, the mussels and the cheesecake were especially tasty. Lovely atmosphere and friendly & attentive staff.

We love coming here, the food is great but the best thing is the warm welcome and attention from the staff. Impecable, thank you. The scallops with anchovies are just delicious!

Great place! Excellent customer service! Great food.

I had the seafood bisque appetizer which was disappointing. It was basically seafood broth. For the main meal, I had scallops and they were good. Service was good. No one asked how things were going.

Lunch meeting with three other friends today. We all thoroughly enjoyed our food choices. Also enjoyed our white wine choice too.

Enjoyed every minute of this dining experience. A Spanish flair with a touch of Scottish elegance made this a worthy trip. One of Edinburgh's top seafood restaurants. Great staff, helpful and attentive. Very professional.

Maneesh and his team look after us from very beginning. Even eventful situation with taxi and being late nearly an hour CADIZ helped us feel great again and forget about all the commutation. Great seafood and blue wine along with very nice and pleasant professional team locked this place in our memories on the very high level... definitely will be back at the next opportunity! Highly recommended! Greetings from Jan and Natalie xxx

What a find! Recommended to us by a local. Food was exceptional and staff - especially Victor - were exemplary! Will be certain to return on any visits to Edinburgh!

A wonderful place, with incredible food that won't need a loan to pay for. I had the scallops which were Devine. My wife had the lobster, and was very pleased with it. Our two guests also enjoyed their meal. Highly recommend.

Great seafood, friendly and quick service and nice view of George St. from the second floor. The fresh bread with paprika butter was a terrific start. I had grilled king scallops in a perfect cream sauce and my husband said it was the best halibut he ever had. Ended the meal with a chocolate fondant volcano. Great from beginning to end.
