We love Michael from Ireland. Best waiter ever. ‘Just one more question’. He was so accommodating and friendly. Food and drinks were delish too. Would definitely come back.

My husband and I popped in for a quick drink and ended up eating too. Delicious food, great drinks and outstanding service. If you are out and about stop in for a pint and stay for a meal! You won't regret it!!

Really friendly pub. Greeted as you walk in and it feels genuine. Coke wasn’t flat and Belhaven Best was lovely. Table service to take your order and food was served quickly with generous portions. Pop in for lunch or a cheeky afternoon beer or two.

A great bar located right where the Old Town ends—mostly frequented by locals rather than tourists. Their beers are delicious, it’s always lively, and the staff are genuinely friendly. Definitely one of the bars you should visit while in Edinburgh.

Michael gave us all the best advice for the rest of our trip, even personal names and places that he loves for us to visit. The small plates were absolutely delicious, we had the sticky chicken, crispy squid, and haggis fritters and enjoyed them all equally. Beer was great, wine was good, service was super fast. Bonus, they had great music choices!

This establishment receives a 5 star and a hearty high five. Michael made our dinner smooth with his personable service, efficient nature and just enough contribution to our local with spot On suggestions. Our meals were tasty, hot when served and all allergens were observed. I would fly back here and this will certainly make it on the go to list. Thanks to the staff we highly recommend this establishment.

Just a short walk from the cemetery where you’ll find Tom Riddell’s grave and Bobby’s resting place, we stumbled upon DOCTORS – and what a great find it was! We were specifically looking for traditional Irish food that’s made for locals, not tourists – and this place delivered exactly that. It’s a proper pub, lively and welcoming, with a genuinely friendly and attentive team behind the bar and in the kitchen. The food was fresh, tasty, and honestly priced. Even dishes like haggis were surprisingly well-prepared and flavorful – a great introduction if you’re curious to try it. Everything felt homemade and authentic, without the touristy frills. If you’re in the area and craving hearty Irish fare in a cozy, down-to-earth atmosphere, DOCTORS is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

Booking on a friday is a must for this popular pub. Lots of youg people. Sports are shown on various screens and music that was not necessary to be turned up as it was noisy enough. Sticky toffe pudding was the best and how it should be served everywhere. Toastie was not worth the price. Thick chunks of bread and hardly any cheeze and where was the becamel sauce. Not a place for a nice cosy meal, but if you want to get in the week-end spirit and are a bit youger than us in our sixties, this is lively enough with excellent service.

I was slightly disappointed in our tasting menu experience. The staff were lovley and the quality of the cooking was excellent but it all left me unsatisfied. The atmosphere of the reastraunt is cold. The cool colours, wide spaces, and nothing to break up the light sources all contributed to this feeling of exposure. The food itself was interesting but lacked acid and depth. I love eating new ingredients, but it felt like I was limited to my parents' organic veg box with no acid to really liven it up. I wanted a pickled element in almost every dish. Even the desserts, which were rhubarb( one of the sharpest fruits) and the baked cream, were very one-note. There is no acid and no real substance to either. All the dishes lacked substance. I was craving carbohydrates the whole way through. I felt like we had the gluten-free menu. The meat course, quail was the least inspired I felt, I wanted crunch, I wanted sauce, I wanted acid, I wanted layers! I wanted a carb! If you are going to roast a beautiful quail leg like a mini roast dinner, then give me more!

We wanted to visit for Sunday lunch and we were not disappointed. We started with a pint of Guinness and looked over the menu. Two of us had the roast dry aged rump of beef, which was served with roast potatoes, carrots, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy. Hubby chose fish and chips. The fish was North Sea, which he had never tried before. We ordered a side of cauliflower cheese for the table. We had a great seat next to the window. The food was faultless and flavoursome. Staff were friendly, and we shared a few laughs with them. The place was busy and booking for Sunday lunch essential. Although you could find Sunday lunch cheaper nearby, the quality of the food and the welcoming atmosphere make this worth the extra cost.
