Had a nice snack on the 19/09/23, but could not believe they have a 12.5% service charge? It was never mentioned by the bar staff when we paid, which i think is unfair. That is a pity as the food and drink was ok but overpriced.

Really good night at the Cafe Royal. Food was excellent, particularly the sea food linguine and the risotto. My only criticisms would be the sour dough bread. The slices were complete doorsteps and almost impossible to eat. Also, I think a bit of staff training is required, especially in the pouring of wine. It was spilled and also poured in the water glass. But apart from that, it was all very good.

Arranged for us by our hotel. Very pretty place with a lively crowd. The food was good but the service was terrible. We had to keep calling over the waiter as he walked by us a million times without even looking at us. He then disappeared. When he came back my husband said " Welcome Back." The food was good . We had Caesar salad and crab bisque linguini. Chocolate mousse for dessert . Malbec was good. Could be top rated if service was better. Our hotel thinks this is one of the best places in town but they don't know about the service.

Since I was last there you have opened the revolving door from the street to the restuarant. Unbelievable amount of random foot traffc coming through restuarant to get to the bar. The next time I want to eat in a cold draughty close with every Tom, Dick and Harry bustling through I'll set up a table in the concourse of Edinburgh Waverly. Horrible dining experience. I won't be back.

I love the taste of mussels! This is my first time to Edinburgh, so I booked some local seafood restaurants for a taste. This is the best place I’ve tried . The mussels are cooded with white wine which provides it a unique flavor. The bread pairs with it is so soft and tasty. And the oysters is fresh. Compare with other restaurants I think this place definitely wins my heart. Also they gived me lots of mussels so its value is really acceptable. Have recommended it to everyone I know who is planning to go Edinburgh for visit.

Cafe Royal .... or Oyster Bar?? Tripadvisor is misguiding .... becaus comments mix up, one talking about the pub, then talking about the adjacent restaurant. I talk about the latter, which I follow for forty years now ... and, unfortunately, the beautiful interior is the only godd thing left. This could easily be one of the most sought after POSH eating places in town, but the quality is going down ever since. Not more worth the money - a pity. And please, tripadvisor: Split upü the comments correctly - thanks!

We arrived around 2 pm yesterday, looking forward to enjoying some oysters and cool wine. The bar was moderately busy, and I joined several people waiting to order. Fifteen wasted minutes later, we left, having been completely ignored by the two young men allegedly staffing the bar who had perfected the skill of completely avoiding contact with clients. At least two other couples left at the same time, audibly complaining about the lack of service. In a neighbouring bar, just round the corner, we were served and seated in minutes by very friendly and highly professional staff. Lesson learned - we won't be back.

Had an early dinner reservation and was so disappointed in the loud pulsating music blasting out of the pub area into the small dining room. The pub was packed with people chatting so it was lively enough without the horrible music (speaker feedback included) on top. The waiters couldn't hear each other, I couldn't hear my dining companion that was right across the table from me. I know nobody in the pub could hear each other if it was that bad in the dining room. WTF - is management loaded or passed out in the back? Why on earth do they think music that loud is ok in a venue like that? It could be such a nice place to dine, but it's not. Wine list is garbage. Waiters did their best and so did kitchen but I would never go back to dine.

First time back since the Pandemic and disappointed to say the least. Perhaps trouble in getting chefs competent in procuring great produce. Normally the oysters are excellent but not today. Very small and unappealing with the dressing not the usual shallot Mignonette I think it was made with white onion in a strange tasting vinegar instead of the finer shallot. The fish n chips were not up to the usual standard, fish didn’t taste very fresh and was thin as paper covered in a poor batter more chewy than crisp. My friend opted for the crab pie which was a bake not a pie. Triple cooked chips were soft and not crisp as expected. We decided not to have desert as much as the sticky toffee pudding was wanted. The service was very good by the young ladies who looked after us. I’ll be back as normally it’s very good. Whoever does the procurement needs to inspect the oysters as cafe Royal has always been the go to place for them but not if there like we had today.

Visité recientemente para el almuerzo. Había estado unos meses antes y muy feliz, pero esta vez estábamos extremadamente decepcionados. Las ostras no eran comestibles y yo y los invitados las escupimos en conchas. Bistec estaba bueno pero el camarero nos aseguró que un solomillo era un filete. Ciertamente NO. El Cranachan era crema batida con tres frambuesas. No quería quejarme ni avergonzar a los invitados, pero se devolvió más comida de la que se consumió. El camarero no se molestó en preguntar si había algo mal. No volveremos a comer otra vez. Un lugar muy encantador. No sabemos lo que ha pasado. No lo recomendaría

Went for dinner with friends visiting from abroad and was impressed by the quality of the food, the good service and the lovely surroundings. We went on a Sunday night and it was quiet, only two other tables. It's a bit of the beaten track and doesn't seem to get much of the tourist trade which is a pity as it deserves to be much busier. My only disappointment was that there is only one veggie option - mushroom risotto - and whilst it was excellent it's a shame to have such a limited choice. My friends had a selection of sea food, fish and meat dishes and were all really impressed with the quality and taste. It is quite pricey but worth it and actually quite good value for money.

Last time I was here, and we have dined here on and off over many years going back well beyond the ages of most of the young staff, I was really disappointed by the food. Not so this time. The food on this occasion during the Edinburgh Festival did great credit to the chef and the kitchen and to the room itself. It has to be the very best decor in Edinburgh with the stunning and historic stained glass windows and the amazing Doulton ceramic tiles pictures - and for that alone it is worth eating here.The Cullen skink was light on haddock but tasted fine while the tomato based fish stew was generous and very enjoyable. My husband's starter of mussels and Arbroath smokie was an unusually fine combination of prime mussels.So, wonderful ambience, pleasant staff and good food this time so we shall return sooner than last time.

Cod was smoked and delicious; lamb was tender and the vegetables al dente, not at all overcooked. Both dishes were special. Went back for dinner number 2 and also had great experience although female server (not Karen) wasn't as happy to be there, but all the staff is very good. A treat and worthy of a visit. You can eat the menu in the adjoining bar but it would be a different experience all together. Reservation suggested.

The food is good, they also serve real ale and a good selection of wines.Seating is at a premium, sometimes you have to wait for a table so get there early.

Great pub atmosphere downstairs with good food. We recommend the Cullen Skink, scalloped and excellent Hagis. Pinot Grigio rose to wash it down. A good place for lunch while sightseeing.

Gorgeous food. A little on the expensive side but, if you like seafood, it is kind of what you would expect to pay. Staff friendly and helpful and great atmosphere. Would recommend.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. Close by to the hotel we were staying at, it became our home away from home. The inside is cozy, the bartenders are absolute gems, and the fish & chips rock. I literally love it here, Leith is just awesome in general.

The view alone is worth the price, but the food is amazing too! Portions are small but expertly crafted.

Went with a couple of friends at their suggestion because I don't really know Thistle street and haven't heard of Dusit before. But I'll definitely be back. Very friendly and helpful staff that gave a warm welcome and the food was very good. They even asked if I wanted the food less spicy which was a bonus for me😂 can't fault it in any way! A definite recommendation for sure!

Good restaurant with good product, but you pay a very high price. Taking into account Edinburgh prices, nothing crazy. Very good service from a Spaniard from Alicante called Jose and his manager.
