Or son enjoyed it but not somewhere I'd go with a group of adult friends. Food was nice if you have sweet tooth but expensive for what it was. Thought the discretionary £22 service charge for three of us was a little cheeky too (especially as people's plates were cleared when others were still eating at the table 😶).

We came to Duck and Waffle to celebrate with my family. As we were a large group, they allowed us to use the whiskey room after reserving with a deposit. The restaurant is just located outside/ near to the entrance to the shopping centre and has a great atmosphere with the lights and open whisky bar. The whisky room is great with a TV that can be linked to phone to show pictures. The only negative about the private whisky room was that it heated up quickly! The staff were attentive and friendly with them showing to out seats and taking drinks orders quickly - and giving several useful recommendations! The only downside was that overall the food was lacking. The Harrisa Cauliflower tasted okay but felt that it could have used more time to cook and soften up - further more, the turkey main was very average alongside the plum pudding. So all in all, great atmosphere and service - the food was lacking.

Nice restaurant with good service. We ordered the duck and waffle, chips and caramelized carrots. The duck was tender and the chips were really good.

Was really exited to visit the duck and waffle however the speed of service and lack of apologies from the staff put a pin in the experience. We waited an hour and a half from when our reservation began to recieve our main meal, we were asked if we wanted another drink once which was 2 hours into the event. I appreciate it gets busy in a restaurant and am always happy to wait however would like some sort of apology or recognition for waiting that long. The food itself was good for the most part, burgers had some soggy bottoms but that's a personal preference 😉. The atmosphere was nice however the two tables sat either side of us were also complaining about the food itself and the wait times, which didn't help the evening. (Particularly didn't help that one of them had their drinks comped despite waiting for less time). All in all, would go back on the hope this was an off day.

Lovely breakfast and staff. Not been to the London one so can’t compare to the original however, this is a really good welcome to the Duck and Waffle “chain”. Almost feels wrong calling it a chain but they have 2 and heading to 3 so guess that’s only fair. I had the Scottish breakfast and was lovely. One egg slightly over poached so not as much lovely yolk to dip across the plate however, was still lovely. Ignore the fact was a breakfast, I’m on holiday! But the 3 cocktails were lovely too. I had the biscoff old fashioned, low country and the take a bow. All amazing I’d come back when here again and also can’t wait to see the London one

Yummy yummy I had mussels 🦪 (Scottish mussels to be more specific) and there was a lovely lady who I think is Canadian, and her name is Tatum! Tatum is so kind and helpful, so smiley, chatty and friendly! Pretty much all of the (mostly men) working here are good workers! The mussels were also very tasty and there was also a very tasty sauce! (*^^*)

Genuinely surprised how unique the dishes are. We arrived knowing this place could be special, but did not expect how good the food will be. The food is like a mix of American, European, and Asian tastes and experience. The Duck & Waffle, and the Pork Ears are awesome.

Duck and Waffle offers something delightfully different, and we thoroughly enjoyed it. The food was simple, fun, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious—a creative twist on classic dishes that hit all the right notes. The wine list, however, could use a bit of fine-tuning. The top-end selections were amazing, the middle range felt overly dominated by heavy Bordeauxs, NZ Pinot Noir. The service was a standout highlight, made even more memorable by our lovely server—a Venezuelan neuroscientist, no less! Overall, Duck and Waffle is a great, super stylish, spot for something out of the ordinary—definitely worth a visit!

As a frequent visitor to Edinburgh, I regularly walk by Duck & Waffle, but had never been in to dine, until this morning. The place had a very modern, clean aesthetic, with a welcoming ambience. I know dining alone can occasionally make people feel anxious, but I felt very comfortable as a solo diner. My server, Christian, was the right level of attentive - never too many questions, but always to hand when I needed anything - which also greatly helped. I ordered the Scottish Breakfast, with scrambled eggs, and was not disappointed; the eggs were cooked to perfection - buttery and smooth, seasoned well. The bacon was crisp, and the sausage was juicy. Really enjoyed the cheese scone, too. And the baked beans were had a lovely tang, and a hint of spice, that helped elevate them from a simple side. I would definitely recommend Duck & Waffle to those of you looking for a sophisticated yet easy breakfast dining experience in the heart of Edinburgh.

Some quotes from our walk home: "Not even a restaurant in China has made me this sick that fast, and ive been to some dirty restaurants" "I'm really close to throwing up" "Even the truffel tasted stale" DO NOT ORDER THE TRUFFEL RAVIOLI, it swims in a pool of oil, undercooked badly once, when returned still undercooked but we were too hungry and ate it, regretting that badly now. You will pay £25 for HALF A WAFFLE and one egg and one duck leg which you have to debone yourself. But was lovely. Service and atmosphere is great, our food came before our wine did so speedy cooking. We understand why the customer relations team is having to work hard.

Went for Sunday roast for a birthday. The chicken was not cooked. Waiter shown food but it was shrugged off. Food came out cold. Was also charged for £20 of other items which weren't ordered. These were however refunded when it was raised after we had paid. I dont normally like to complain unless something significant happens or if theres many problems with my experience. I was disappointed with duck and waffle.

Like having dinner in a disco. Style over substance. 12.5% service charge is a joke. Ask for a coke and it's a tiny 200ml bottle... Particularly entertaining was the floor manager who was like Jason Statham if you'd ordered him on Temu. Overpriced, trying to hard. The place to be if you have money but no class or taste.

A Full Review of Brunch at Duck & Waffle: Location: It's located in the St. James Quarter. You take an elevator up to the 4th floor to access the restaurant, and the elevator is huge—perfect for a wheelchair or pram. It’s a great spot to meet for brunch or lunch, then do a little shopping afterward. There are lots of great shops in St. James Quarter! Vibe: They definitely spent $$$$ on the decor! The vibe is really cool—I'd describe it as upscale chill. Food: The most important part of the review. Here’s what we ordered: Apps: - Corn ribs (6/10) – The BBQ sauce is really sweet, and it's a bit of a messy dish, but they do provide hand wipes, which is nice. - Bacon-wrapped dates (10/10) – expensive but delicious! Mains: - Duck & Waffle (7/10) – A little gamey, and the egg was too runny. - Dry Aged Beef Burger (10/10) – GREAT burger! - Chicken & Waffle (10/10) – Delicious. Sides: - Tenderstem Broccoli (8/10) – Good. - Honey Baked Carrots (10/10) – Really good. - French Fries (10/10) - Salty, crispy goodness. Dessert: - Deep-Fried Mars Waffle (8/10) – If you're into ultra-unhealthy desserts, this one’s for you lol. I didn't try the Mars bar or waffle, but that hazelnut ice cream is fire. Service: Excellent service. Our server was attentive, and you could see the management team walking around the restaurant the whole time. That's always a good sign. Price: It’s a bit pricey for some dishes, but others, like the burger, are well-priced for the quality. Overall: I recommend Duck & Waffle for an upscale, chill brunch or lunch. We enjoyed our experience, and the service and food were great! Post-Meal Recommendation: If you enjoy shopping, plan to do some after your meal. If you’d like to relax at a bar lounge with cocktails, check out the W Lounge. It’s also in the St. James Quarter and about a 3-minute walk from Duck & Waffle. Just be sure to make a reservation before you go!

Trendy restaurant that’s located inside a mall. Came here for dinner on a weeknight as a friend had a good experience at the location in London. While the service was nice, the food was a bit disappointing. They did have a set menu for fringe fest as well as their normal dishes. Tried the duck and waffle, and thought the meat was tasty, it was on the small side for 25 pounds and also a tad too salty. During the dessert, the strawberries and cream dessert was good, although for the sorbets, there was a mix up with my friend’s order so we had to sort that out. Overall, it has a nice ambiance but the food was a bit mixed.

We had our little dog with us and the staff were super nice and brought him some water and some snacks to keep him happy. The food was delicious, including the Duck and Waffle main, which was really good. Overall, it was a great experience - thank you to the team!

This was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had. The food was incredible and the level of service exceptional. From the moment we arrived the host asked for any dietary restrictions and made note to pass onto our servers. We were provided with an allergen sheet of the full menu that showed which dishes could or couldn’t be adjusted based on our restrictions. Every single restaurant should have this!! The staff were attentive and it was a great atmosphere too. Definitely would recommend and will be back!!

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, a delicious cocktail, enthralling aesthetics, excellent service and all around great vibes. We had the house made bread (too hot to touch when it arrived! 😍), broccoli, pork belly, and the duck and waffle. I drank the Queen of Scots which was a perfect sipper with just a little heat on the finish. The look of the place is so cool and was paired well with fun music— which is great because breaking out into a little happy food dance might be in your future, too.

The reception and waiting service are exceptional, and they all go the extra mile to make your wishes come true. The food is different from any other restaurants I have tried in really creative and scrumptious combinations. At this stage, I have pretty much tried the whole menu, and nothing has ever disappointed to this date. I'll be back again soon!

Duck & Waffle is a great concept , with a sister restaurant in London. I enjoyed the brunch fixed price menu and at £29 it was amazing value. The venue is on the 4th floor of the shopping centre and you arrive via the brightly coloured lift. Great cocktails and brunch all day, what's not to love 😘

We came here on a whim to celebrate my husband and his sister's birthday, and we are so incredibly glad we did! From the moment we stepped out of the lift, it felt classy and we were made to feel welcome. Our server was so incredibly kind and attentive all evening and the atmosphere felt comfortable and warm throughout our experience. The bathrooms were clean and accessible! We ordered from the set menu, three courses, and it came out to about £30 per head! And for the food we received we were well impressed with this price. All of the food was absolutely delicious, beautifully presented and came out in good time. They were also very happy to accomodate my dietary needs due to being pregnant! To top it off, they threw in a lovely little free brownie each for our birthday boy and girl. We are so thouroughly impressed with every part of our dining experience tonight. We were well taken care of and it made our birthday celebration special. Myself and my husband will certainly be back for date night in the future! I would highly recommend seeing this restarant and what they have to offer for yourself!

Really enjoyed this place on our last day in Scotland. The food was great-steak tartar was amazing (different twist on what I am used to), truffle fries were good along with the steak and broccoli. Me and my significant other shared all of these items and it was plenty enough for both of us. The server was great and very friendly. Everything came out quickly. The table with a group of 6 told us we really will enjoy it, and we did. Definitely worth a visit.

Having recently returned from the United States, visiting Edinburgh Duck & Waffle was my top priority, driven by fond memories of your exceptional cuisine. Unfortunately, my experience today was far from the standards I had come to expect. Our server, a blonde-haired lady around 30 years old attended to us. I was taken aback by her reluctance and the unusual tone she used when addressing us, which was unlike any previous service I have experienced at your establishment. A few incidents that stood out: 1. When my friend asked for recommendations, she dismissively stated she could not suggest anything because she didn’t know our preference—a response that seemed unhelpful and unfriendly. 2. I expressed my desire to order the "duck & waffle," which led to an unexpectedly harsh reaction from her, questioning why I ask recommendation which I already have a choice(my friend ask for recommendation but I did not). This response was confusing and made me feel uncomfortable, as the dish is a classic and a personal favourite. 3. Upon inquiring about the beef tartar, which I enjoyed in the past, she rudely pointed to the menu and curtly informed me it was only available in the evening. 4. It was also noted that she failed to inquire about any allergies or if we wished to start with an appetizer or dessert, which is standard practice. I hope duck&waffle Edinburgh should manage their team better and improve their service quality.

Went for some lunch and got sat promptly and ordered quickly. However when the food came it was lukewarm and was in much smaller portions than you’d expect with prices so high. Food was nice but the temperature and portions really took away from the experience but not worth causing a fuss with a complaint. When we went to pay we noticed that the price of one of the drinks was wrong so told a member of staff, it was sorted but the service charge that we were never informed about was still applied to the bill, in my eyes a service charge should be instantly removed from a bill if there is any sort of issue not left on without an apology for charging people incorrectly.

Best tailored unforced genuine service ever like they are also having a good time as a team: never been asked if we want dessert menu at same time as main so we can pace ourselves depending on if there's any that interest us. Best food ever: their buckwheat dish was so comforting, even got helpful instructions for how to split the duck ourselves over their classic duck & waffles, & could even take some of our creamed spinach side that was very big for a side, away in a takeaway box they gave us. Best french briochey toast ever: served sizzling in a cauldron-like pot. Best coolest decor leading to table: recommend going up lift from shortcut at st james centre entrance from princes st end. Would come again with others for that french toast.

What an incredible evening. I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. The host captivated us with his hospitality. When we were seated, Vittoria was not to be deterred by my bad mood and delivered a warm welcome and exceptional service. She explained the shared plates concept but understood we wanted our choices to come as courses. She explained this would take a little longer and it did. But it was worth the wait. The Steak Tartare was incredible. I wanted the Burrata & Truffle Ravioli and I wanted something extra with it. I was a bit put off by the £8 price tag for a side of broccoli but ordered it anyway. The Ravioli was probably some of the best I’ve ever eaten and was perfectly cooked. The broccoli was sensational. Probably the first time I’ve ever said that about broccoli. I had initially planned on sharing it but once I tasted it, my sharing mood went out the door. We’ve enjoyed Edinburgh so much and this was probably the best food and service we’ve had in the city. For younger generations, this place had the added bonus of being super Instagrammable. 📸

Food is full of flavour. Staff were excellent. Decor is fantastic. We had the set menu which was excellent value.

Great place for a quick lunch. Went in and bought the set 3 course menu with a cocktail included. Entrance from the lift felt like a special entry to the restaurant. Friendly helpful staff, clean environment, comfortable chairs. Relaxing music. Great toilets. Food was if a high quality and a varied menu was available. Highly recommended.

We spontaneously ended up in the restaurant after our shopping trip and were surprised by the great ambience. The food was very good. The service staff was very nice and accommodating. We'd love to come back.

The famous duck and waffle taste good but just a little bit pricey

Was too nervous to say any of this in person as I’m not really good at saying things out loud but me & my sister came here last night as it was my 18th the night before. We originally booked the alchemist but couldn’t get in because they didn’t accept our young Scot cards as ID. Being kind of at a loss of what to do I knew of duck & waffle and tried to get in and luckily we did. The food was amazing and the hosts/servers were so nice and attentive, really cheering us up after what happened. I think one of them was called Ella, she was so kind and helpful and even brought out a little birthday cake, nearly had tears because all of the nice and kind vibes. Definitely will remember this for a long time and will be back💖

Poor atmosphere, poor quality food. Very disappointed. Food was heavily salted. Pub food at restaurant prices. Service was the only thing worthy of a 5 star.

We were more than happy with our dinner at Duck & Waffle. We enjoyed the Fringe menu and thought it was fabulous.

Sad to say style over substance. Probably very appealing for the instagram crowd. Service was somewhat slow for being as quiet as it was but the staff were all very pleasant. The venue has obviously been styled to a high standard. Unfortunately, the food was quite disappointing. Unlikely to return based on today.

Can food, service and atmosphere combine to make an evening amazing, I didn't think it was possible. Sure, we can all easily just tick 5 stars for all three, when really it was one, maybe two of the three that were actually 5, we just tick the other out of habit. However, for once, I can truly tick all three as 5 stars. The food, OMG, my mouth has never been so happy, what an adventure of taste, freshness and outstanding creativity. The atmosphere, could not have been more perfectly balanced, you could try, but it was just perfect. The service, was not worth 5 stars, it was worth more and all down to Alvaro. Don't get me wrong, everyone we had contact with was super friendly and helpful, but Alavro was the cherry, on the icing on the cake. This guy is without any doubt the best server/waiter I have encountered in my life. Friendly, personable, warm, attentive, conversational and all just the right level to be graciously humble and not over the top or underwhelming, just natural. Will I go back, hell yes. Sadly I live in Manchester, so it won't be as often as I want it to be. So Duck & Waffle, do me a huge favour, open one in Manchester, please. It's either that, or I frequent Edinburgh more often. One way or another, I'm having my Duck & Waffle again, try and stop me.

What an incredible dinning experience this turned out to be! The atmosphere is very unique, modern concept, and great decor. Our server Alvaro went above and beyond to ensure that we had a phenomenal dining experience. He was extremely attentive with great recommendations and always checking on us. The food was just spectacular, starting with the pig ears and the corn ribs. For the main course, we shared many dishes, and everything was excellent with great presentation. I absolutely loved my Scottish muscles as they were big, and the sauce was delicious! The pork belly was awesome, and the Duck and waffles just incredible! I highly recommend going there for a meal! Gracias Alvaro for being such an amazing host!!!

The menu seemed a little short on options for us. However we enjoyed what we had. We found the seats uncomfortable. The biggest plus to this restaurant was F.O.H. staff. Very helpful, friendly and efficient.

This is a very instagramable restaurant— and that’s about it. They are known for their ::drumroll:: duck and waffle. Surprise surprise. This dish was pretty disappointing compared to their delicious snacks and starters. Highly recommend the bacon wrapped dates. But if the duck and waffle is going to be the namesake for the restaurant, then the quality needs to get better. I could have made it at home and not have shelled 25 £ for a mediocre waffle and a little bit of duck. While it’s a cool concept, definitely a place you can post to social media to impress friends, I think a bit more love needs to be put into their main courses.

Gorgeous venue but be aware that they don't advertise the correct opening times. We were still eating and they started vacuuming and cleaning around us, making it difficult to get hold of a member of staff. The menu on the website, in house and the allergens board indicated differently, which made me kind of nervous, but I was fine eating there gluten free. The vegetarian menu is very limited though. Not sure if the food is worth the price,but the drinks menu is extensive and very nice!

I ordered a lamb burger. Very dry cutlet. slightly burnt in places. Arabic music, too loud. I do not advise.

Prime location for fringe punters. Currywurst was on point, if a bit expensive - £10 for 2 bratwurst, sauce and a small quantity of bread. There isn't much atmosphere as it's an outdoor venue. There is no external seating. Order your foods, pay your monies and leave.

Bell's Diner opened in St. Stephen Street, Stockbridge, Edinburgh in 1974, the same year my wife and I moved into Stockbridge. They served the best burgers I've ever tasted. And no sweetish American-style buns and slobbery 'mayo'. The wine list starts at £21 a bottle. We now live 20 miles away but travelled in to have our final Bell's meal last week as the restaurant will soon be closing down. So, probably too late now for folks to get a table. Sad news indeed.

Pretty good taste and fair price. I’ve ordered the fried chicken and wings many times and never met any issue.
