Delicious food - sort of food you'd get in a really fancy restaurant but at a fraction of the price. The students are enthusiastic though some of the serving students are v inexperienced which I guess is what you can expect. I'd go back again and I think it's a great thing to encourage.

Today, my wife and I had the pleasure of dining at E15 restaurant, where all dishes are prepared and served by professional cookery students from Edinburgh College Milton Road. The experience was enhanced by the convenient parking available for visitors; upon arrival, we simply filled out a form at reception to obtain our parking pass, making the process seamless and hassle-free. E15 restaurant is located on the third floor of The Club building, featuring a pleasant environment and excellent mountain views. We opted for the three-course lunch set, beginning with a delicious soup as a starter. For the main course, we chose the beef and prawn curry rice, which the prawn curry rice surprised us with its unique flavors and a rich blend of different ingredients. It was tasty and satisfying—truly a delightful dish. To conclude our meal, we indulged in a dessert of cake accompanied by chocolate ice cream, which was my personal favorite. The combination was divine and left a lasting impression on my palate. Overall, we were thoroughly satisfied with our lunch experience at E15. We highly recommend this restaurant, as it not only supports the culinary students but also gives patrons the opportunity to enjoy their crafted dishes. It's crucial to nurture these future talents in our hospitality industry here in Edinburgh

I went for lunch on Friday with a friend and the food was amazing. The menu was a fixed price of £9 for 2 courses and £12 for 3 courses with a choice of 2 starters, 3 main courses and 2 deserts. The menu was designed by 2 students (Alisha and Robert) and it was excellent, we both could have quite happily had any of the options as they were all good options. As it happened, I had the Thai Coconut and vegetable soup for starter and friend had duck spring rolls. For mains we had homemade steak pie and crispy plaice and avocado salad (the 3rd option was gnocchi) and for desert we had Lemon tart with ice cream and Raspberry charlotte - everything was freshly made....everything even the bread that came with the starters. It was all excellent but I'd especially call out that it was possibly the best avocado salad I've tasted and the home made ice cream was also amazing. Well done to all the students you all worked so hard and served up an excellent lunch you all deserve A* grades. I'd also note that in town you could pay twice as much for the same food so I took the opportunity to tip well and would encourage others to do the same as it goes towards the students end of term night out. P.S. please don't share this review as word might start getting out about how good this place is. P.P.S I wish I'd taken more photo's but just remembered at desert and my photo's aren't at a great angle. You should go though as it was excellent.

Brilliant find. This is part of Edinburgh College and lets the students loose on the public - but in a very good way. There is a small but good selection the menu, the prices are very reasonable and the staff are friendly, helpful and efficient. I don't think you could do better in some of the starred restaurants in town. And take a moment to admire the great views.

First visit to the training restaurant & what a pleasure it was. We were served by lovely staff & enjoyed a superb lunch of pea soup, smoked salmon followed by roast chicken with haggis bon bons. We finished our meal off with the best dessert we’ve ever had- a truly delicious lemon tart & lemon ice cream. What a star this young pastry chef is!! Superb value for money at £12 for 3 courses!! Thank you for a wonderful lunch.

This was my first visit on a busy Thursday evening (booking essential). Dining here for dinner was such a pleasurable experience, I feel compelled to give a 5 star review. The top floor restaurant offers fine views and is so warm and welcoming with students and staff going the extra mile to ensure everyone is served their choice of extensive menu in a professional, friendly and caring manner. All dishes presented beautifully and cooked perfectly. I especially enjoyed the pork belly. Bravo to all the training students. Very impressive from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Muy buena opción a excelente precio. Un poco retirado de la zona central de Edimburgo, pero si buscas cenar en Portobello, este es de los pocos lugares abiertos tarde. El servicio puede ser lento, pero es comprensible ya que son estudiantes de hospitalidad. Por lo mismo, la calidad de la comida también puede variar, pero en mi caso fue muy buena.

Teníamos los 3 platos de ravioli para comenzar mi marido tenía la caballa ahumada y ambos eran deliciosos, entonces ambos tuvimos el cordero, que era tan delicioso, entonces nuestro postre choc ratón y tarta de queso de nuevo encantador. Gracias a Justin por cocinar el cordero a la perfección y que él se tome un descanso y venga y nos pregunte cómo fue nuestra comida. Esto no sucede muy a menudo, por lo que fue un buen final para nuestra comida.

A business contact suggested visiting eh15 for a lunch meeting. It was new to me and I was delighted to accept.It is on the top floor of The Club at Edinburgh College in Milton Road. The view over Edinburgh and the East Lothian coast is impressive.So is the food, seasonal and freshly cooked and the service was slick. College catering and hospitality students practice their skills here.My beef stroganoff was beautifully cooked and the tomato and mozzarella worked superbly with it. So did the crisp green salad.I had no time for sweet but it looked superb. Do try this out.

We took 4 friends out for dinner - we were all really pleased and it felt like great fun. The food was presented very well indeed - nice looking plates, little edible flowers with desserts, etc. and it all sounded so good it was hard to choose. Where else would you get delicious little amuse bouche, seared scallops, Jerusalem artichoke soup, fantastic Zarzuela seafood stew, creme brulee, and petit fours - all for the price of 1 main course in another restaurant? The menu varies but there always seems to be interesting choices. Students friendly and trying their best. We'll be back!

Visited here today for lunch and was really pleased we made the journey over from Linlithgow. We had starters of tiger prawns and mains of pork escalope with one person having the veg curry. The meal, plus desserts, was really good in every way and, when we asked if we could give honest feedback Stephanie, the manager, came over to discuss our views. These were in no way overly critical but helpful, we hoped, and Stephanie took our comments on board with great courtesy. These students should be complimented as they are already achieving very high standards in their vocation, and I don't mind being a paying tester any time. We'll be back ......

Had an evening meal here a few years ago and was very impressed so when I saw a voucher for a swim and afternoon tea I jumped at the chance of spending 1 1/2 hours in the car to go. Swimming facilities were fine, though very small - i can't imagine how everyone fits in when the students are about. Expecting students to be providing the afternoon tea as a summer job however was a big mistake. There were just 2 regular staff on whose task was to assemble sandwiches and open the packets of cakes from the supermarket across the road. A mini strawbery tart was okay but the mass-produced mini muffin was highly processed and nasty, there wasn't even a scone, which to my mind is the essence of an afternoon tea, and none of this wasn't even made up for by quantity, being smaller portions than you'd get elsewhere. It's not what you expect from an afternoon tea, and is the most disappointing tea in the whole of Edinburgh. Don't let this put you off trying the student's own fayre however, just don't do the afternoon tea when the college is closed!

My friends and I were here for afternoon tea on Sunday and have to say after wanting to try EH15 for a while it was a bit of a letdown. The cakes appeared to be shop bought, the sandwiches were not explained so we didn't know what one of them were but what we did know was that there was certainly butter on them! Smeared on so thick you couldn't taste the fillings. First time I've ever been to afternoon tea when the scone comes with a filling already done with what we thought was apricot jam and cream. Served again with more butter. The staff however couldn't be nicer they were very attentive and friendly. The views from our seat were beautiful overlooking Arthur seat just a shame the weather wasn't nicer but then that's the Scottish summer for you.

Myself and 3 friends were here on Sunday for a sparkling afternoon tea, the place was lovely and the service was good. It was a pity the weather wasn't great as we would have loved to have sat outside on the terrace. Prosecco was nice, although the bottle we ordered had a date of 5/11/15 none of us including the waitress new if that was a sell by date but we drank it anyway and it tasted fine. The afternoon tea was brought out to us on a slate serving dish. No explanation of what was what, we weren't asked if we had any allergies or anything we didn't like. The sandwiches were definitely not fresh, had far too much butter on them and were disappointing. We had two mini scones each and 1 mini strawberry tart and 1 mini chocolate muffin each. That was it. The plan scones were already made up with an apricot jam a some cream but all you got for the fruit scone was some butter. The cakes and scones appeared to be bought rather than made. We all had high hopes for this place thinking the trainee chefs would make such an effort but clearly not. Did not see one person in the kitchen so I can only imagine all the food was pre-made even possibly the day before. Don't think we'll be back

Had Afternoon Tea with friend Fiona today, lovely glass of Prosecco, various sandwiches, scones and cakes, lovely views over Edinburgh and a very friendly Italian waiter. Would have been lovely to sit outside on the balcony for our afternoon but unfortunately for us it rained all day, but we still had a lovely relaxing day and sat for hours chatting whilst we sat with a bottle of Prosecco after enjoying our 1st glass. Would definately go again.

What a fabulous venue for the wedding reception. The staff are friendly, efficient and could not possibly have been more helpful, every request was met with a speedy solution both the day before when we dropped off decorations and particularly throughout the event. It was beautifully set up on our arrival with warm welcomes from the staff. We had selected buffet menu which was delicious and all guests commented on it.The venue itself is lovely, wonderful views from the terrace looking out to the Forth on one side up to the Pentlands and ski slope. The decor is immaculate (toilets are spotlessly clean and tidy)If you are looking for a venue for a wedding or other party you could not do better than this. It is also very reasonably priced. We would certainly use it again.

Table for six including 3 mums. Superb starters and desserts. Disappointing mains for 4 who ordered roast beef. Dish was not roast beef but slow cooked pretty stringy skirt? When we complained were told that the wrong delivery from wholesale butchers had been accepted. When we asked why weren't we told when we placed order just received a shrug. When paying the bill tendered my loyalty card to be told change of management and no chance to redeem the balance(built up over several years) Pretty bad attitude for a favourite restaurant which has always been good in the past - we've been coming since the student service started and will come again when the students are running the establishment in the week but not for the commercial company at weekends.

We have been a number of times and had an overall excellent experience. We went for Valentines evening. Both ladies were excellent. The Spanish waitress couldn't do enough for us. However, the canapés were on rubbery bread and the rump steak was more like overlooked minute steak. There was supposed to be a pepper sauce with the steak but if there was I didn't get any. The starter and the sweet was pretty good.

We are regular visitors to EH15 and till now have never failed to be impressed with both the standard of food and the service. Last night we visited for the Valentines evening and were dismayed to find the food was so poor. The canapes appeared to be nesting on stale French bread, the main course steaks were so tough neither of us could eat (or chew!) more than a mouthful while the chips were overcooked to mahogany brown (where not charred black), the dessert appeared to be artificial whipped cream with some raspberries and a rather solid piece of lemon meringue pie. The front of house manager and the one waitress were charming, and I'm sure the kitchen staff (we saw two) were trying their best; the responsibility must lie with the management and their lack of support and supervision. We paid £25 each for one of the poorest meals we've ever had - perhaps small wonder that the place was at least half empty. We've always enjoyed our visits here in the past, and want to continue to support the students who have always impressed us with their enthusiasm and commitment. Hopefully, last night will prove to be an unfortunate one-off as not just the customers, but the students, too, deserve better.

I went here tonight with my partner for one of the Christmas dinners. We live around the corner from Edinburgh College and have gone past hundreds of times and thought it might be time to try it the restaurant, which was a brilliant idea.The waiter and waitress were both excellent and even though it was the waiters first day he did a very good job, very polite - perhaps a little shy, however as said just before it was his first day. The service was good and the food was absolutely excellent. I had a Scotch Broth for starters, Turkey as a main and a Brownie with ice cream as a desert, I have absolutely no complaints about any of the foods, they were cooked to perfection and the presentation of the food was superb. The turkey was one of the best turkey's I have had this year. You could tell a lot of effort went into the making and presenting of the food.Service itself was a little slow, for which everyone working there kept apologising, however it wasn't that slow - I have been in some "real" restaurants were service was a lot slower than here today. Plus all the food was worth the wait, so nothing really to worry about, keeping in mind it is a training place and they were doing a very good job for that.The restaurant itself was a little difficult to locate at first, we did not realise it was literally on top of the sports and spa complex. But the views were amazing, with views over the Pentlands, Arthurs Seat and Fife. All in all I am really impressed with the restaurant and would urge anyone considering going here to go, you will not be disappointed, even though it is run by students it just feels like a normal very nice restaurant.

This really is one of Edinburgh's secret treasures. On Wednesday and Thursday evenings, students, under close but supportive supervision, present a 'Masterchef Menu'. For what's charged, the quality and presentation of the food is quite outstanding, the enthusiasm and eagerness to please of the students is wholly refreshing, and the way Andrew, the supervisor engaged us, the diners, and encouraged his students to circulate and talk to the customers afterwards to seek our feedback, involved us all in an dining experience that was both warm and rewarding. Bravo to all involved.

Well worth a visit. Went with friends last night and £18.50 for 3 courses and a glass of Prosecco-good was freshly cooked with lovely flavours and ingredients. Staff were friendly and polite. Service was a little slow if anything. Had a lovely night. Only little problem was when paying the bill, some of us had cash others paying by card but the woman was a little abrupt and said she could only take a card payment for the whole amount...other than that very very good for the price and ambience of the place!

Food was very nice - though I was a little surprised that my risotto came in a breaded cone. The crab bisque was really good. The blackened cod (not black cod as advertised) was delicious - well done to whoever cooked that - the accompaniments unfortunately were overworked and heavy and under- seasoned. Sorry! Desserts were great and I really enjoyed the whole experience. Well done everyone involved and we will be back.

Located in Edinburgh College, Milton Road Campus, EH15 is a restaurant run by catering students mid week but as a commercial enterprise at the weekends. we have visited here many times and NEVER been let down. The food is excellent,, both in terms of taste and quality. It is clearly freshly cooked to order. The wine is very reasonably priced with a good selection. The service is very personable from the moment you enter the restaurant until you leave. It is situated on the top floor, offering wonderful open views of the East side of the city. All round EH15 offers a great relaxing and enjoyable experience for much less than you would pay in the City.

Arrived at site and was unsure where to go; asked a couple who were apparently just departing and followed their directions. Perhaps signage therefore could be more visible. We were shown to a table promptly and our orders were quickly taken by a courteous waiter. All of the food was first rate. We had to wait about 20 minutes, though, between the main course and dessert and we had no dessert cutlery. The waiter apologised for its absence and provided soup spoons instead. They worked ok. Yes, we would return for the food quality and the very reasonable cost (courtesy of Groupon).

Just had a very disappointing afternoon tea at EH15. Apart from the sandwiches which were fresh and tasty (although they were very cold) everything else was shop bought and not prepared in the catering department which I thought would have been the selling point. We were not offered prosecco but as I couldn't check the offer until I came home I did not query at the time. Used a Groupon voucher - so glad I didn't pay the correct price. Have eaten here before with no complaints but as the kitchen was closed today it didn't meet their usual standard.

Well I can honestly say I won't come back here again ! The place looked lovely when we went in, nice views etc. The waiter and waitress were friendly but, when our afternoon tea came they just left it on the table without saying what the sandwiches were ! There was egg, ham and mustard and something I did not recognise and had to ask. I was told pâté and onion ! We didnt eat them all. The small scones, muffins and cheesecake were old ! Scones were brick hard,mine never even tried them. I said to the waiter that they were not fresh and his answer was they were just overdone !!!! No way, I am a baker and they were old ! Really disappointed as this was a girls get together and I had bought it with a groupon voucher. We decided to leave the table and sit and have drinks at the seating area, quite a lot of drinks actually as they were very reasonably priced. Also the waitress actually spilled drinks over my friend (the same girlfriend twice) and she was soaked. When I asked for the bill there was nothing taken off, so I said to the waitress that there was nothing taken off the bill for the inedible food. Cut a long story short they took the price of that we paid for our voucher , but that does not make it alright !!!! I am all for trying out what the students make (we have had lovely food at Telford College) but don't fool people with old scones and cakes !!!

Went here with my husband ,sister and brother in law for an early dinner using a Groupon voucher. We all chose fish cakes as a starter and ate every mouthful! For mains 2 of us had chicken and 2 had salmon. All was cooked to perfection and plates were cleared. For desert 2 had sticky toffee pudding and 2 had mixed berry pavlova. Deal came with a glass of prosecco which was very nice. The deal for 4 was £38 so fantastic value. We also had 2 coffees a bottle of Pinot Grigio blush and 5 bottles of beer and the bill came to £32 which was very reasonable. As this is part of the college and is run by students we were very impressed. The food was lovely and the staff (students) were very friendly and helpful and made it a very pleasant evening. I would definitely return.

Just disappointed with the whole expierence. Made a reunion with friends such a hassle. Arrived told them we had afternoon and spa. Not one member of staff told us that if we had a drink we wouldn't be able to go to the spa. Even though they took our voucher at the start. When we did tell them that we were looking forward to the spa they still brought our prosecco glasses out. Food not worth it and can't mention the spa as we never got in it. Waste of time.

Not only a great Spa but a very professional looking restaurant (bit of a hidden gem TBH!), better than many you will find in Edinburgh. The staff are very attentive and the food absolutely delicious at a price that won't break the bank. We will be back in a few weeks for a repeat of the Afternoon tea. Those whining reviewers need to understand that this is a college with largely training staff and the price reflects this. if you want Michelin Star, get down to the Shore and pay 5x more for it.......

My husband and I have been to this venue many times and always thought it was good value and a great place to support the students Today we visited with friends and it was simply awful! We had a Groupon voucher and expected the normal menu and service. It was not just bad it was embarrassing We will never go back. I have eaten better in a motorway cafe.

Came here on a Groupon. Once you turn into the college its not obvious where the restaurant is or where you can park. Eventually we found it on the 3rd floor which does have great views. It's hard to review this restaurant fairly as it is a college so decor is basic. Servers are inexperienced so fundamental errors were made but expected- lacked a bit of attention, white wine served in red wine glasses etc. Menu was a bit limited 3 starters that required no cooking. That was soup, goats cheese or prawn cocktail. 4 mains on offer again all very basic. Desserts was brownie with ice cream or pavalova. Brownie was nice but oddly the meringue on the pavalova was a cheap shop bought meringue. Overall judging on par with other restaurants its only average

My husband ate here because of some very good reviews which also mentioned that prices were a fair bit more comparable to the other restaurants. The price differential was only slight but the food wasn't that great. I had a tuna that was well done - maybe that's how tuna is cooked in the UK but I'm used to fresh tuna still a little rare on the inside. The roasted vegetable soup was good though.

EH15 is a student training restaurant in the Milton Road Campus of Edinburgh College, open to members of the public for lunch and dinner. Make sure you check the website for details as each day, it is run by different students. Monday and Tuesday for instance is junior chef - school pupils on the hospitality programme. Prices reflect their inexperience and are much lower on these nights. Wednesday and Thursday is master chef - third year students. Weekends are for the commercial restaurant which we absolutely love. The food is delicious, all beautifully presented and just right in terms of portion size to allow you to have all three courses!! The prices are unbelievably reasonable in comparison to city centre. In addition, there are always offers on at various times in the year. The restaurant itself is on the top floor and offers beautiful views of the Pentlands. We have taken many friends her and all have returned themselves time and time again. Please take the time to visit here and support the students who are the future of the Hospitality trade throughout Scotland.

We visited on a friday night at 6.30pm. There were about 6 other tables with guests. Both me and my partner really enjoyed our food- he had duck and I had Thai green curry. The views are really nice and the quality of the food and portion sizes are fantastic. However, the restaurant was understaffed (not a problem for us because we ordered quickly and don't mind having a glass of wine or two) and the girl was a bit run off her feet. Didn't ruin our meal, but felt quite sorry for her having to try and deal with so many tables- might have to be something the college looks at in the future! But please visit this restaurant and support the local students in our area!

We were staying at the Best Western hotel beside the college and decided to book this restaurant 3hrs before we went for dinner.We opted for the weekend special deal of 3 courses with a glass of wine for £14. It was great value there were Approx 4 starters 5 main courses & 4 puddings. There were 3 of us eating so we sampled most things on the menu. Everything was cooked perfectly (if a wee bit under seasoned). James was our main waiter and with only 2 of them serving, they were kept on their toes.we would love to return if staying in this neck of the woods again.Well done to all the students. (Come on Aberdeen College what about you doing this at a weekend!)

We went to the Masterchef which is on a Wednesday and Thursday at 6.15 pm. It was only £15 per person for amuse bouche, starter, main and sweet. All dishes were very good although two of the dishes were a little on the cool side. Home-made bread included in the price. Altogether, great value from trainee chefs under the watchful eye of the experienced chefs. The same meal at a "normal" restaurant would be four times the price. Give it a try. They also do other nights and lunches etc....so will try these.Lifts to the restaurant so great for people with walking disabilities.

Found this restaurant by accident but what a happy accident it turned out to be!We attended on 'Masterchef' night. We enjotyd a wonderful meal prepared by the third year students, served by the first year students.Our waiter was attentive and very friendly which made up for his occasional lapses in knowledge of the food on offer. The wine was well priced and the meal very good value for money.They are students and are to be commended for their efforts but it is a college restaurant and lacks refinements for 5 stars.

We ate here at the weekend. First visit but the friends we were with had been several times before and had not been disappointed. Neither were we!Beatifully presented food, not huge portions but very tasty . I had the smoked salmon terrine and beef bourginion, which was very tender. The others tried the sea bass which they said was lovely. Judging by the clean plates, that speaks for itself. Views over Edinburgh and surrounding area while watching the sun go down added to a very enjoyable evening. We look forward to a return visit.

We go here from time to time for meals and it is good to see the young people learning their trade in the kitchen and dining room. On our latest visit we took advantage of an offer of two courses for £12.95. Excellent it was too. We both started with arrancini and followed with sea bass and steak pie. All well cooked and presented by a young enthusiastic staff. No draught beer but several excellent bottled beers on offer. A bottle of wine for under £12. What good value!

Well, who'd have thought it! I was invited for " an early supper" by a friend and ended up in EH5, the training restaurant for the college.What a great idea! I loved it. My starter was pea soup with a small salmon steak, topped by a poached quail egg. Delicious and perfect! I followed with brie and pear tart with almond potato croquettes. Again, really tasty. My friend had a blue cheesecake starter with finely sliced pear followed by roast guinea fowl which she declared superb. My cabinet pudding was light and tasty but the fruit coulis was overly sweet and my friend's chocolate mouse with hazlenut ice cream was also too sweet.Considering the staff were 3rd year trainees they did a great job. Polite, efficient and smart. Now, the price! Well, UNBEATABLE! Oh, it's also licensed so a nice glass of good Merlot went down well at £2.25p! This is such a great concept so I hope people will go and enjoy it and give good feedback.I'll be back for sure!

Me and my two friends went to the restaurant on Wednesday 21st May for dinner. When we arrived we were welcomed by the friendly smiling staff and seated with an amazing view of athurs seat and the pentlands. The menu was excellent with such a great choice of three starter mains and deserts it's was a difficult choice to decide what to eat. It was such an elegant menu 5* top class. It was without a doubt the best meal I've had in ages and can't believe it was all put together by a chef in training I would have paid triple what I did as the quality was out of this world. The price for the meal was extremely cheap and well worth a visit to sample this extraordinary cuisine. Well done to all the students see you again soon for a lunch to try.

Table of seven including two mums enjoyed 3 course menu that pushed the boat out. Excellent food and service included complementary pink fizz and chocolates for the mums. Great choices of starters, mains and sweets. Good wine/drinks list and really inexpensive. We've been here lots of times and consistently very pleased. Check out loyalty card deals.

When you consider what they are doing here, it is quite possibly one of the best restaurants in Edinburgh. Never expensive, always interesting and we're helping train the professionals of tomorrow. Just wish you didn't have to book and that it was open every night.

Gave this restaurant another try and found it had improved greatly. Service was good and portion sizes were also good. A big difference from my last visit. We had 3 very good courses. All very tasty and presented well. I had salmon quiche , which was very light. Followed by very tender duck . The home made sticky toffee pudding was delicious. We really enjoyed all our courses. The chef did a great job.The price for wine is really cheap at 2.25 a glass.The only minus with this restaurant is that it does lack a bit of atmosphere.I will definitely be back.5 pm have a good offer for this restaurant at the moment 3 courses plus a glass of wine for 2 people only £25.

Awful service and very small portions. We were not asked if we wanted drinks and water was not left on the table. One of our main courses was totally inedible, yet the waiter never enquired why. Told him discreetly to tell the chef, yet when our bill came (well over £100) this meal was still on the bill. It was taken off, but we will not visit again. They need to review their waiting skills and increase their portions if they want people to return.

This was not our first visit but sadly we won't be returning. The excellent table service was not matched by the food. We both ordered the starter special of chicken coujons with sweet chilli dip. Both portions arrived blackened by being fried in oil that was too hot which resulted in the chicken losing all moisture, the lettuce served with it was brown and wilted I sent mine back but my husband didn't want to make a fuss so ate it. I was offered another starter but chose not to wait for a replacement to be made, and opted for a sweet instead. Our main was Shepherd's Pie. To be fair it was piping hot and looked really nice, but it had no taste and no gravy so it felt like eating dry hamburger, the topping was sweet potato I think. I had expected traditional white potato. Unluckily for my husband the lamb mince was full of peas which he hates. My sweet of Bakewell tart and ice cream was nice but my husbands cheese and biscuit selection was exceptional. So well done for that. I realise these student chefs are in training and don't deserve too harsh a criticism for trying their best but the indigestion I left with and a bill of nearly £40 including wine was sore to bear.

After visiting the restaurant previously we had no qualms about visiting again as the service and food have been fab. This time however the service was awful we were offered drinks at the bar as we were a bit early then once our table was ready we were offered water and that was it for an hour an a half we asked for drinks and waited and waited. Eventually we had to go to the bar to ask again but when the came we were finished our meal which was a struggle without drinks, we actually shared the only glass of water we had! There was around 7 other diners in so there really was no excuse. Great food again but due to the poor service it really has put us off visiting again. A feedback form will be posted to Eh15 let's hope they act on it as its such a nice venue.

I can only hope that there are different teams used in the restaurant run by Edinburgh College as the team we got last Saturday were indeed poor (except for the staff member on the bar area). While the setting for the restaurant is stunning it was not matched by the food or indeed table service. Our server was quite "dour" though we got the sense he was incredibly nervous and we therefore felt for him. One of the main courses we reqeusted was not available )within 30 minutes of the restaurant opening) which was really disappointing. Our first courses were REALLY bland and I left mine. Sadly my main was worse - all I could taste was oil - and had to leave that too.We have both put this down to the restaurant having a bad night but, sadly, we will not go back under any circumstances. The taste remains.

I have visited eh15 before but not since the change of menu. It was lovely. The service was great we received a warm welcome upon arrival and very pleasant service throughout. Our meal was lovely with good potion sizes. The wine was nice and I must say it was great to be topped up with water throughout our meal without interruption. I would highly recommend EH15 fantastic meal and a great price too.

As you have all probably read this is a training restaurant and I can honestly say someone is doing a good job. We ate here for Sunday lunch the service was good and the food great value for money, we had 3 courses and a couple of drinks and the bill came to £40 it was a bargain. You must try the sticky toffee pudding with cinnamon ice cream its to die for.

Make a booking,you wont be disappointed!The quality of food was obvious from the start,I had Thai fishcakes to start and this was tasty,if anything the lime and chervil mayonnaise could have had more `bite` but that is being over critical as it came with a rocket salad with a lovely dressing.As a main I had the fillet of sea bass with a white wine tarragon cream sauce,this was served with veg ! Perfection on a plate.The star of my meal was the tarte aux citron with vanilla cream,I love this tart and tasted it in Italy and France this year but none as good as this,.Finished with coffee the whole meal was well presented on the plate and service most restaurants should aspire too

This may be a catering training restuarant but you would be hard pushed to find a better restuarant and added bonus is how reasonable it is. A meal of this standard for 2 people with a bottle of wine for under £30 is not something you will find. The views from the restuarant are very good as you look out over Arthur's Seat, it was a shame we were there in the evening and it got dark quickly, so we could't enjoy the views, but that gives us an excuse to go back for lunch!!

Tuvimos un buen paseo desde Edimburgo, a través de Dean Village, así que estábamos listos para una taza y algo de comer. Tomamos té, café, un bollo de pudín negro y un bollo marrón hachís, los marrones hachís eran bastante insípidos, sin embargo, el bollo / chiabatta era delicioso. El personal era agradable y la decoración estaba bien.

Words can’t truly describe how amazing every aspect of our dinner was. It was our last night in Edinburgh and we definitely ended our trip on a high note. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We ordered from the A La Carte menu and from my lobster rolls starter to the cod main, it was like we were on an exquisite culinary journey which I did not want to end. Iulian, our waiter, was very helpful in answering any questions we had about our meals and Phil, the sommelier, kindly suggested wine pairings which were delightful to say the least. I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about dining at Fhior, but the atmosphere was very unpretentious and welcoming. I will definitely return if ever in Edinburgh again. Chef Scott creates some amazing dishes! Talent like I’ve never experienced. Do yourself a favour and go if you have a chance!
