Duck & Waffle Edinburgh in Edinburgh, City of

Loads of fruit flies in the place, sloppy service overpriced food.

Great service, weird and wonderful aesthetic, amazing food. Couldn't have been better. Bacon wrapped dates were amazing.

Their Duck and waffles are a must try.

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.

Good atmosphere and we were really excited for a meal but after waiting over an hour for it we were disappointed. The food was tasty but cold and for £75 to end up with basically a cold sandwich I wouldn't recommend it. Not a great first meal in Edinburgh.

Lovely breakfast here with my partner. Food was delicious and service was amazing. Lovely Decor and loos are beautiful too.

Food was amazing .very delicious , the vibes was lit , Carlos was super helpful. Special thanks to him.

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.

Loved the food and ambience. Shout out to Vittoria for her impeccable service and recommendations!

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.

Delicious food and amazing service. Shout out to Alvaro! He was a brilliant server and brought over a little cake as we were celebrating a 30th birthday 🎉

Food was delicious. Our waitress, Natasza was incredible and so helpful. Very cool atmosphere, highly recommended.

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!

If you are passing through Edinburgh you cannot miss this restaurant Space Duck & Waffle, very nice atmosphere, impeccable service. Christian was very kind in making sure my experience at the restaurant was perfect down to the last detail

Delicious food and nice atmosphere. Staff were fantastic, with our server Alvaro going well above and beyond to look after us. He was a great host, guiding us through the menu and offering advice on popular options and combinations. The rest of the team that night were also fab, including other servers and the front of house.

Had a lovely dinner here with superb service and an exquisite atmosphere. The set menu was both incredibly affordable and delicious and so were the drinks.

Great service from Alvaro! Made great effort to ensure we had an excellent experience, even went the extra mile to celebrate a birthday in our party :)

Amazing! Staff were so lovely and attentive. Food was phenomenal, better than I could have even imagined. Highly recommend

First try! Very nice experience. Duck & Waffle is really delicious. Ambience of the restaurant is colorful. Hostess did well on servicing our party.

The atmosphere was very hip and friendly and the staff really made me feel comfortable including my 4 year old who really took a liking to the friendly waitress! I did not have the duck and waffle (feel I missed out here) however the lamb and the fish were really tasty so no regrets. Food was a bit on the pricy side but overall worth it.

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.

Marvelous food. I'm only giving it four stars compared to other premier restaurants. Some of the dishes were a bit hit and miss, but it's namesake duck and waffle was wonderful.

The vibe is really good, and the staff is so friendly. Very good service and food

alvaro was an amazing member of staff 5/5 give this man a raise

Alvaro went above and beyond to make our babymoon/anniversary special and even brought us something that wasn't on the menu when he heard I wanted it. Absolutely lovely place, the fried mars bar is very unique!

We had dinner here last week as a group of 4 and really enjoyed our experience. The staff were really great and managed to find us a good quiet table by the bar as all other main tables were booked (which was fair enough as we were a walk in on a Friday night!). 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!

Very nice place. Cool atmosphere, great food and the serving was amazing. We were served by Christian, and he was super nice with us. Big shout out to him, and I hope one day he can be cool by flying long trips

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.

Wonderful experience, great food!

I have been to the Duck and Waffle quite a few times, and I only noticed now I haven't left a review! I absolutely LOVE this place and I recommend it to anyone who would like to try delicious food, immerse in state-of-the-art décor, and enjoy excellent customer service. 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 😘

Club-like atmosphere. The signature dish that gives the restaurant its name is sweet duck and waffle topped with maple syrup, served with a fried egg. I want to eat duck alone.

We hired The Whiskey Room for a birthday murder mystery dinner and it was just perfect! Our server was so lovely, really attentive and worked around the murder mystery segments so well. Food was also incredible. All my guests raved about the venue so thankyou for making the night so special!

Nipped in for breakfast whilst staying at W Hotel Edinburgh. Fabulous vibe, and the duck benedict was fantastic. The orange juice was freshly pressed, and staff were very accommodating.

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.

Left confused! The restaurant was not busy, as in you could play basketball in the space. We were told to wait 1 hour since we hadn’t booked. However, checking Online the next available table was open, and the table after and after that. We just went elsewhere to spend our money. We were well dressed after work.

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.

Excellent ! Food is perfect, service too And the restaurant is beautiful highly recommend

We stopped by for dinner on our anniversary and were very pleased with the creative menu, amazed by the vibrant decor, and dazzled by the charming Vittoria our server. I would stop back just to enjoy her cheerful demeanor.

I have to say I kept meaning to come into this place eventually I have no regrets whatsoever nothing but class great drinks great service very kind staf a lovely different place to look at very American style which goes with the great music I love it

Duck and Waffle was brilliant Food was delicious 😋 The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful Will be back

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.

The crispy duck was delicious, the port belly was delicious but with too much fat. The prices are stiff but services do no match. Our salary was brought up after our main courses. At the end, they still charged us services fees! Do not recommend this restaurant.

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.

Over priced….. £24 for half a waffle, deep fried mushrooms, duck egg Dry aged burger, definitely dry! Was it a child’s portion 🧐 Badly presented, hollandaise spilling off plate. Colombian eggs looked like it had just been thrown on plate. Small flies constantly flew around table, dive bombing our food. Staff very friendly. Toilets so hard to find, the concierge tells you where it is the second you walk in the door! £191.60 for 7 people, one course each. 4 alcoholic drinks!

Good food and attentive staff. However there were a load of fruit flies buzzing about and we had to get our coats back as there was no-one on the reception.

One of my favorite restaurants ever. Excellent food (got lucky with some huge oysters), perfect service with good drink recommendations, and the DJ created a great vibe. Enjoyed this place thoroughly.

Breakfast was such a treat here! The decor, service and presentation was exquisite. It’s spendy and a great way to start the day. We tried the duck and waggle namesake, granola and coffee.

Highly recommended!!! You gotta be here and enjoy Duck and Waffle. Be lovely with Marie-Claire and Alvaro who take a super-duper perfect team to take a good care of our group (23 People)

The food was delicious. However, waiting 45 minutes for our drinks to arrive and not receiving our refills until after we had requested our bill, kind of sullied our experience.

Silvino was really excellent with us! Would love for him to serve me again when I next come to duck and waffle :)

We enjoyed a celebratory meal here. The decor is extremely nice and all staff we encountered were very courteous and friendly. The food was delicious and so was the presentation. The service was very good too. There were four of us and we all had soft drinks. The food comprised one Scottish breakfast, one duck Benedict, one deep fried Mars bar waffle and one caramelised banana waffle. The total bill, including service charge, was £82.15.

Superb and tasty breakfast in the most unexpectedly stylish restaurant. Service was top notch, they stored our luggage while we ate, delightful & worth it.

4 of us dined here for the first time and we all chose from the 3 course set menu. Every dish was delicious. Our servers were polite, efficient and patient - especially Christian. I would recommend this restaurant to everyone I know.

Alvaro was our server, and did an awesome job- super friendly, attentive and accommodating. We all had a great evening and will be back.

Just go there, dont think about it. It'll be good

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. 📸

What an amazing restaurant! Starting from the moment we entered , we felt so welcome.The hostess, Ella was so polite and friendly with us.After she sat us down on the table the magic continued to happend.From the amazing service , the happy faces and of course , the incredible food! Please try the Pork belly when here.Was to die for! A must visit when in Edinburgh!❤️‍🔥

A wonderful duck served with regular or gluten free waffles. Very accommodating and upbeat place.

Like the other comments, it's a little expensive for the quantity but the quality is there and makes the price reasonable!

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💖

Place is great. Great food, great service, and with some great deals.

Great breakfast and even better service !!!

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.

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.

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.

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!

Quality is prioritized over quantity, but their duck and waffle is incredible, the meat and its sauce are awesome.

Fantastic atmosphere and staff, the food was delicious, we had the duck and waffle and the duck benedict. I also really appreciated that the hostess gave us the layout of the restaurant, indicating where the restrooms were as we were being seated. Our server, Christian, was really lovely adding to our experience. Recommending to friends immediately.

Duck and Waffle was a sensational experience. From the moment you walk in you know you're in for something special. It's a little like walking into Wonderland with amazing decor and a visual treat to the senses. Then you get to the food, which was absolutely excellent. Strongly recommend the namesake Duck and Waffle, the sweet yet punchy mustard maple syrup was unexpectedly perfect with the duck and Waffle. The staff were brilliant, friendly and made the whole meal even better. Christian who served us was a legend and the prefect balance of friendly without being overbearing. Left feeling extremely full and satisfied and looking forward to visiting again.

Delicious food. Lovely friendly staff and a fantastic design. Really enjoyed my visit and would heartily recommend.

Don’t forget to order cocktail, it’s really nice

Everything was so amazing! One of the best restaurants in town!! Thank you

Delicious food, especially lamb and pork belly, very kind and professional waiter.

My wife and I chose this spot for dinner while we celebrated our 10-year wedding anniversary, and we are so glad we did. Everything was spectacular. The whole experience from the atmosphere and decor, to the service and food was just fantastic and exceeded our expectations. Our server (think her name was Victoria, she was fairly new but flawlessly professional), went above and beyond to give us a memorable night. It really made our night, and we will be recommending to everyone.

Never had duck on a waffle before, but it was absolutely lovely. The chicken on a waffle was delicious too. Would recommend. The service was really quite nice as well.

An unbelievable experience that cannot be described or replicated. Do try the signature dish and the signature whisky cocktails, as they are masterpieces of gastronomic synergy. Perfect service, wonderful atmosphere and flavours that were out of this world. Highly recommend.

The signature dish Duck and Waffle really surprised me. The duck skin is crispy, the duck meat is not aged, and it goes surprisingly well with the syrup 😋The duck eggs are nothing special🤣I may not be able to tell the difference from eggs. In addition, the pork slices bun from the set menu is also good. The price is a bit expensive but worth a try! worth to try!!

Delicious duck benedict - would highly recommend it.

The best Duck & Waffle in the UK. Order the Duck Benedict and ask for some extra hot sauce. It’s incredible.

Our first visit to Duck & Waffle for breakfast was a visual experience..... walking in from Leith Street entrance hits you with a burst of psychedelic colour. If you are hung over, it may hit you a little harder. A beautifully set out restaurant, bright spacious and feathery! Our service was good and speedy considering there were 7 of us. The food was delicious, but for my personal pallet, it was a bit crazy for a 9am breakfast. However, I ordered the Greek yoghurt with granola, and that was delicious. The rest of my guests ordered the waffle items and some just egg and bacon. I think if there was an option for just plain waffles, or blueberry waffles, and maple syrup, I'd have had that. But overall, a nice meal. We will return but via the mall 😀 *facilities very clean too.

Amazing service and a great place to eat. It does cost a pretty penny but it's worth it. I recommend the creme brûlée french toast

Great find! Food is fantastic and different to the normal fair. Fantastic cocktails and amazing decor.

Recently came by Duck and Waffle on a quick weekend break to Edinburgh with some friends. We reserved a table and were quickly attended to and shown to our table. Our server was not necessarily the warmest but was very attentive. I was very excited to order the Mars Waffle - not wanting to leave Scotland without trying a deep fried Mars bar! When the dish first came out it was unfortunately cold. However, I highlighted this to a member of staff, and the issue was resolved very quickly and a fresh plate brought out. I am very glad I asked for this to be fixed, as the dish was incredible! The waffle was lovely and crispy on the outside while fluffy and soft in the middle. The smeetmeal sauce was glorious, and gave me digestive/malt caramel vibes?? A really tasty sauce! The hazelnut ice cream was a great addition, very smooth with a recognisable hazelnut flavour. Despite this, the Mars bar was the star of the show! This was everything I expected and wanted it to be. The batter was beautifully crisp, and the inside was melty chocolate, nougat, and caramel - glorious! It was also my friends birthday, which I put on the reservation. Completely unexpectedly, a little cake with candle was bought out at the end of the meal - which I thought was such a lovely gesture! I'd recommend coming to the Duck and Waffle based on this experience, and look forward to going to the London location in the future.

The foie gras crème brûlée is NOT to be missed!

My husband and I had the best time tonight. As soon as we walked in our greeter made sure of any food allergies and made sure everyone was aware and each and every person who came to our table whether is was our waitress, the gentlemen who cleaned our table and wiped it down between courses, or bringing our drinks doubled and tripled checked. They went above and beyond. Sophia was an incredible waitress, I let her help plan my courses and they did NOT disappoint 🙌🏽🙌🏽 so dang good and the drink she had surprised me with (I couldn’t choose) was sooo good. I even made my own dessert float with the sorbet for dessert with my second one it was that good! The vibes were fun, such amazing service and it was just a welcoming atmosphere from start to finish. Definitely go if you find yourself close. I’d go out of my way for it again for sure!

Duck & Waffle was cooked to the perfection. Duck skin was crispy; yet the meat is not dry. Though lamb belly was not as good as expected. Staff was attentive and served us with genuine hospitality. Will definitely go back again

The food was delicious, portions were generous, and value was excellent. Service was outstanding, especially from Victoria, who was attentive and friendly throughout our meal. Highly recommend!

The best restaurant in Edinburgh

This was our first breakfast in Edinburgh and one word: Fantastic! The service offered by Christian really set the bar high for all other restaurants during our stay in Edinburgh!! Thank you Christian for the amazing service you gave to our family! The food was exceptional too! And .. kids eat for free!! Talk about the little things that make a huge difference!!! Absolutely recommend!!
