Itchycoo Bar & Kitchen in Edinburgh, City of

Music strange selection for an Indian restaurant expensive for the amount of food one gets taste average

Stopped by chance to eat lunch, very surprised by the fact that there was only a choice of sandwiches and burgers, no 'real' main course, and no offer of dessert or coffee. A big gap between the cozy side of the place, the friendliness of the staff and the ultra simplistic food...

The cocktail list was lovely, and I couldn't decide between the Death by Chocolate or the Espresso Martini. The waiter helped me decide on the Death by Chocolate cocktail - it was fabulous, rich and decadent and definitely fit what I was looking for!

Quiet comfortable with a good selection of drinks and food

Lovely food and staff. Great atmosphere and attached to hotel we were staying at. Lovely selection of whisky!

Excellent restaurant inside the Radisson Blu hotel. Staff are very friendly and accommodating. Good cocktails and a good choice of food at sensible prices.

We spent a very nice moment at itchycoo. The waiter made the expérience even beter. He was pretty kind and professionnel.

The waitstaff was very nice and the food was fine. We shared a bunch of small plates, and the prices were reasonable. Most places had a queue so I used OpenTable to make a last minute reservation here. It was wide open though.

Delicious Japanese restaurant with a solid menu and very nice decor. Was unfortunately seated in their small downstairs area which is quite cramped and echoey so best to request seating upstairs. Staff were friendly and the food was very tasty.

Price on drinks list is not correct .

The prce list in the drinks menu as not been updated .my two drinks came to £ 13.thay charged me £16

Overall good. Service was good. Descent food selection. There appears to be a lower level to the restaurant. Main level has views of street... golden mile. The appetizers were not as good as main course

Got a couple of cocktails which were good and at a reasonable price. Staff was friendly

I visited the itychcoo bar and grill in Edinburgh for a casual dinner with friends. The service was excellent, the staff were friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere was cozy and lively. However, I was disappointed by the food, which was bland and overpriced. I ordered the burger and fries. The burger was dry and lacked flavour, and the fries were greasy. It would be fine, but the price of the food is set for tourists, so it's massively overinflated. Overall, I would not recommend this place for food lovers, unless you are looking for a drink and a chat with good service.

Excellent Tomahawk Pork Chop and accompanying vegetables. Strong whiskey selection, as was expected. Actually paired a double Oban 14 yr. neet with a St. Giles (local) Scotch Ale at 5.5 ABV. It was outstanding! Our entire party said it was the best dining experience we enjoyed in Scotland.

All'interno del bellissimo Radisson blu, ristorante-bar moderno, piccolo ma confortevole. Si mangia bene in generale, ottimo il salmone e molto buono il pork in versione tomahawk, così come la pie. Servizio cordiale, prezzi giusti.

Nell'ottimo Radisson blu un piccolo ristorante dall'aspetto informale ma in grado di creare piatti interessanti. Bene sia il pesce (salmone) che la carne, sia in versione pork tomahawk, sia nella pie e altrettanto nei burgers. Ottima birra IPA. Servizio molto cordiale.

Fantastic service by the staff. Delicious food.

The staff was fantastic. The staff was very service oriented and made sure the customers were having a great time and enjoying the food. The deco was simple and nice. The food was delicious and reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Visited Itchycoo in September and stopped by for a few cocktails. Their cocktail choice was excellent and we certainly enjoyed our drinks. Neil the head bartender has done a great job at designing and curating the cocktail menu, and we will definitely be back on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Edinburgh tends to get busy, especially when a monarch dies in Scotland, but Itchycoo hidden away in the Radison Blu hotel seems to be off the tourist trail a little making it a great place to slow down and enjoy a cocktail. The choice isn't massive, but they are carefully curated and very good.

When I ordered half a chicken " flat ironed", I was expecting something rather larger than the tiny pullet that I received. Still, it was perfectly tasty and did the menu's job of leaving me wanting to have a dessert at the end, which we duly ordered; a brownie with ice cream for my husband and a trio of ice creams for me. We thought that would be just the job to see us through an evening of entertainment at the Festival theatre. And I'm sure it would have been, if it had not taken the kitchen 15 minutes to deliver what turned out to be a chocolate sludge and three scoops of indistinguishable semi frozen goop with an un-ordered teaspoon of mint surprise! We will not too unhappy to leave most of it untouched, in our haste to get to the venue on time. The start of the performance was delayed so we were able to take our seats, which we did gratefully, since we had practically run the whole way up South Bridge!

A really nice laid back atmosphere and friendly staff.

Absolutely amazing staff and service.Especially Neil Colvin and Matthew Deponio,the cocktail menu was very basic but they went above and beyond to accommodate us.They created different cocktails and made us feel very important customers. They both worked as a team.I would highly recommend. The food amazing was also .

no atmosphere, didn't eat a meal avoided it after we had pre-dinner drinks I'm sure a morgue or a prison has more atmosphere! We were shown to a table and then forgotten about despite only 3 tables including ours being occupied. Despite being the hotel restaurant/bar - avoid!

Lovely cocktails. Thoroughly recommend having tasted two of them Hic

Bad service food very average wouldnt recommend it.

Food was tasty, however portions were tiny. Tortellini was literally 5 pieces of pasta. Alcohol was incredibly priced, a gin and tonic was £15! In what world is this acceptable??!!

Decent hotel bar/restaurant. Only serving patrons of the hotel currently due to Covid restrictions

Excellent service fish and chips were great

Lovely visit with helpful, knowledgeable staff. A nice range of Gin and Whisky

Bitterly disappointed with our experience at Itchycoo. Obviously one of the deciding factors in choosing any restaurant is the menu: Ichycoo had interesting vegetarian options for two members of our group, and good options for the other two. But when we arrived and were presented to the menu, the list was considerably shorter than advertised online. Most of the items we had anticipated were cut (then menu was around 1/3 of the size), which meant those who had special dietary needs ended up eating sides. I personally had expected either fish and chips or the burger: both were still on the menu, but the prices were 25% higher than online! The staff were lovely and polite, and told us that the online menu was out of date (not covid related), so it’s clearly a management issue. But it ruined the night, and we ended up leaving very quickly after not eating that much. Ultimately if you have special dietary needs, or are choosing this restaurant based on the prices, I wouldn’t recommend

Stayed at the Radisson over the weekend and had amazing food and drinks, the service was outstanding and would definitely visit again on my next stay. Found the staff friendly and helpful.

1st time visiting this restaurant, would definitely return. Gorgeous decor, warm friendly welcome from the staff that were always at hand. Delicious large steaks at a reasonable prices. Brilliant place dine

Very busy but staff attentive and food of a good standard. I recommend the beef stroganoff!

La sera della festività del Natale (25) a quanto pare non si trovano molti ristoranti aperti in Edimburgo. Per cui la scelta è stata “automatica”: entrare in un hotel e sperare che la cucina fosse aperta al pubblico. Così è stato. L’ Itchycoo Bar & Kitchen si trova all'interno del Radisson Blu Hotel, sulla storica Royal Mile di Edimburgo non lontano dal Castello di Edimburgo. Si presenta elegante nell’arredo e nello stesso tempo informale. Cordiale e professionale il servizio ma l’attesa per l’ordine delle pietanze e i piatti poi portati al tavolo è stata veramente lunga. Abbiamo scelto specialità scozzesi e la qualità è stata ottima, peccato per la lunga attesa, tanto lunga che al momento del conto il cameriere che ci aveva fino a quel momento serviti era “smontato di turno”…. Singolare!!! Siamo stati comunque bene. Consigliato (attenzione al giorno di Natale).

Very comfortable and we enjoyed our morning tea here. Young waiter was very friendly and helpful.

Good food, great coffee excellent service

Great place for cocktails and the staff are always friendly

Das Ambiente dieses Restaurants ist zwar modern, aber auch sehr nüchtern. Es passt zum schottischen Regen. Der Service war langsam und wirkte desinteressiert. Die bescheidene Speisekarte war nicht gerade einladend für ein 4-Sterne-Hotel. Deshalb beliessen wir es bei Cheesecake, Lemon Tart und Wein. Diese waren allerdings ganz ordentlich. Insgesamt aber für so ein Haus zu wenig.

Went here for lunch and I don’t recommend eating here if you have a dietary requirement. I asked if the gluten free options marked on the menu would be safe for a coeliac and I was assured the burger could be made gluten free (this was also indicated on the menu) however I was told after ordering that the meat was blended with flour. The staff switched it out for me but it took over 45 minutes to be served. In addition The food was average and the staff were not at all attentive.

We stayed at the Radisson and used the bar and restaurant. Worth a visit for good drinks and snacks.

Vi skulle ha en familemiddag. Vi bodde på hotellet så vi tok middagen på hotellets restaurant. Bordet var ok tildekket. Bestillingen gikk greit. Maten smakte bra. Det som drar kraftig ned, er knusing/ kasting av flasker i baren. Forferdelig med støy når de hiver flasker i containeren i baren. I tillegg så måtte vi flere ganger reise oss opp å lukke døren ut til forgangen. Skikkelig kaldgufs hver gang den ble åpnet. Og farten på barkeeperne var dårlig. De virket veldig usikre på betaling og kassaapparatet. Måtte stå lenge selv om det nesten ikke var folk der. Vi kommer nok ikke til å anbefale dette spisestedet til noen.

Tres bon! Serveuses très professionnelles et agreables

Itchycoo is a friendly, modern place that serves a broad range of drinks and dishes. The staff have been friendly in my experiencing and provide sound recommendations. The noise can be a bit loud but it is a nice place for a casual drink with friends. Worth a visit if you are in the area.

For a hotel resteaunt this one is exceptional.Waiters and Waitresses, are amazing with that little attention to detail. Food delicious, and in medium price range.Bar staff are very knowledgable about the drinks- especially the Edinburgh Gin, of which they have so many flavours.Great place to eat

Al alojarnos en el Radisson, queríamos una "comida fácil", así que fui a Itchykoo, ¡y lo lamenté! Las flores muertas en el jarrón de la mesa deberían haber sido una pista, pero nuestra comida era extremadamente pobre: acabamos de pedir una mezcla de pan tibio 'estacional' para pasar el tiempo como entrante: pan seco, tostado y rancio servido sin mantequilla (que vino en paquetes de aluminio cuando la pedimos); un filete de chuletón recocido; papas fritas tibias y tibias; una ensalada verde empapada y bien vestida; salsa bearnesa que no era para nada fresca: la única característica redentora eran las papas gruesas que venían con solo pescado rebozado aceptable. Personal agradable y joven que realmente se disculpó cuando les dijimos nuestras opiniones, pero. . . . . Un error costoso! Hay algunos restaurantes excelentes con una mejor relación calidad-precio a cinco minutos a pie, por lo que mi consejo es salir. ¡No te arrepentirás!

Pensamos que lo probaríamos en lugar del té de la tarde. Usando un vale de Itison fuimos a las 11. 00. Buen trabajo que habíamos reservado ya que había 14 mesas con carteles reservados. El agradable personal pronto nos sirvió con una bandeja triple de rollos de tocino, aguacate sobre tostadas, bollos de churros, granola, galletas empanadas de manzana, remolinos de canela y cruasanes. Bellamente presentado

Most staff were friendly and welcoming. The arancini was the best and tastiest I’ve had. All sweets were yummy and service was fast once you gained someone’s attention.

This is a definite must go back too

Great g and t. Friendly service. Comfy seating.

Asked immediately on entry if it might be better if we left and ate down the road at a different restaurant, just because we walked in with small (and well behaved) children. Completely outrageous and probably illegal behaviour... perhaps the waiter thinks he works somewhere quite a bit more posh than it really is, although there is no excuse for that anywhere. Burgers were tasty, though there were at least 2 small pieces of bone in mine so not the best quality. Cambridge bar in New Town has excellent burgers and proper beer.

A very busy Italian. Good menu and great food with good service. Would advise booking!!

Ci siamo fermati per pausa pranzo .mediocre

Nos alojamos en el Radisson Blu y decidimos comer nuestra primera noche en el restaurante del hotel (no habíamos comido desde un desayuno temprano y estábamos hambrientos).Es solo un espacio pequeño, pero deben tener mucha costumbre, ya que a las 7 pm un sábado por la noche ya se habían quedado sin algunos elementos en el menú.Pedimos bebidas y optamos por las aceitunas y los rasguños de cerdo para llevarnos hasta nuestros platos principales. Ambos tuvimos el pescado y patatas fritas con guisantes blandos como platos principales. Se sirvieron en azulejos de pizarra (o al menos así se veían). Se veía bien pero sabía mejor. Se ofreció postre, pero no pudimos encajarlo.

Good central location in Edinburgh and the quality is what you would expect from Radisson

Beautiful bar let down by its place within an international hotel brand. Wine served in standard wine glasses, similar to other national chains. Service good, but nicer bars nearby.

Visited as part of a business group of 12 and had a fab time - service was great and the food was lovely. I wouldn't normally eat at a hotel restaurant, but I will be back here! The fish and chips were superb and sticky toffee pudding to finish it of was delicious. We were well attended throughout (wine was always topped up!). I could argue that the meals were a little slow (particularly the desserts) but when you have a large party this is to be expected.

Cuando acabamos de visitar el castillo, estábamos caminando por la Royal Mile cuando recordé que el bar Itchycoo anunciaba un extenso menú sin gluten durante todo el día en su sitio web, así que le sugerí almorzar allí. Sin embargo, a la llegada, cuando solicitamos el menú sin gluten, ¡no parecían estar conscientes de su existencia! No importa, ya que las opciones de gf se muestran en el menú normal, así que mi esposa pidió un sándwich de salmón ahumado con gf. Sin embargo, lo que llegó fue salmón ahumado con gf tortas de avena! Cuando preguntamos esto, el camarero dijo inicialmente que esta era la opción de gf, ya que no tenían gf bread! ! Cuando pregunté cómo iban a hacer una toastie gf (como se muestra en el menú principal sin gluten), dio marcha atrás y admitió que se les había acabado el pan gf. ¿Por qué no decir esto en primer lugar, preferiblemente cuando mi esposa? ¿ordenado?

They also left elderly group waiting ages on deserts ... one couple left they got free meal... others had to pay for bad service and the bill couldn't come quick enough.

Service is a little slow, premium prices, but nice enough for a hotel bar.

Stopped for a drink & nibbles while working. Cool bar area, helpful staff.

Waren nur dort, weil wir auf das Hotelzimmer warten mussten. Sowas von lieblos und uninspiriert habe ich noch kaum je erlebt.

My sister and I went for vintage afternoon tea, which is no different from normal afternoon tea, which was very nice but whoever made the sandwiches forgot to spread the fillings to the edge of the bread, I hate eating dry bread. The waitress was lovely and very helpful. The man behind the bar was very laid back I asked for a portion of butter, and it took a wee while to get to me and he said something in another language and pointed at me really!! We enjoyed it the last time we were there but won't be rushing back.

We popped in for cocktails, sat down and were given drink menus.

My wife and I with daughter and two grandchildren visited for a special offer Afternoon tea but it was a shambles. First, the waiter led us to a table for 4 and said he's make up a fifth position an the end of the table, but fetched a chair and disappeared, no cutlery, napkin, plates cups, nothing. Then the sandwiches and cakes arrived but no tea, so after several attempts to catch the eye of one of at least 4 serving staff we got our tea but no milk, After failing to attract attention on the milk I went to the bar to ask for it, and revisited it again when we discovered no butter, jam or cream for the scones. We never got the cream and the butter was so hard it was just like it was out of the freezer. Same farce when we came to pay the bill - several requests before I went to the bar to pay. This is not what I expect from a 3 star hotel, let alone one that puts itself considerably higher.

Reservé un té de la tarde de ITISON para 8 esta tarde.

Fuimos para el té de la tarde con un vale de regalo dotado. Los sándwiches estaban bien con buen pan suave y los pasteles eran frescos y sabrosos. Sin embargo, defrauda mal por mermelada barata y crema batida horrible para los bollos. Como el té de la tarde se anunció que contenía crema coagulada, la imitación barata no es aceptable y esperaríamos mucho mejor de un hotel de 4 estrellas.

For a quick bite for lunch or a dinner, go to Itchycco Bar. After work crowd shows up after 5pm (proving this is a local favorite).

Modern well stocked bar! Reasonable good service!

I was using the spa facilities for the day so popped up here for a light lunch. The tomato soup was delicious and came with both bread rolls and toast. The tea came in a pot which I prefer but at £3.50 was expensive, but did seem to be in line with a lot of places in Edinburgh. The seating area was quiet which suited me as I could read.

We ate in the restaurant, which is very informal and part of the bar. We both had the mezza to start and agreed that it would come as one rather than two individual meals. It was actually very good, but way too big so we did leave quite a bit.

Había oído cosas buenas sobre el restaurante y no nos decepcionó. Teníamos un cupón para compartir un plato y un cóctel para dos. El plato no era enorme, pero la carne y el queso, etc. eran de excelente calidad. El cóctel era precioso!

Friendly staff, tasty food. A reasonable city centre food offering. Not the cheapest you'll find but very satisfactory.

Great location on the Royal mile, bonus is it has a car park. The hotel is all decorated ready for Christmas, looks very pretty. We were welcomed and shown to our table by a very friendly attentive server. It took a while to get our prosecco. Food arrived courtesy of a grumpy waitress. Food was very good. Brilliant sandwich and a great selection of cakes. Pity we had to change a cracked cup ..... twice and we were missing a plate. It would have been 5 stars but some staff need to cheer up and interact with the customers. E.g. the waitress who brought our water and drinks didn't once speak!

Lovely bar/restaurant in the heart of the city. Relaxed mode. Good food, very friendly staff and decent value

We visited the Radisson Blu hotel after purchasing an It is on voucher for a sharing platter. We were very disappointed with the lack of atmosphere in the bar area it was very uninviting the lighting was very bright and the furniture old this was a complete contrast as we had just visited the Radisson Blu hotel in Manchester which was much more welcoming. The Edinburgh hotel bar staff were average with regards to welcoming customer and the food again was average. There was little black flies flying around the area in the bar which added to a negative experience. Also a customer was smoking an E cigarette in the bar area and she was not approached by staff to suggest she smoked off the premises.

Tenía un cupón para un plato de intercambio de itison. Hice una reserva y cuando recibí una llamada de vuelta, la perdí y la llamé por teléfono, pero nadie me pudo vincular con quien había llamado.

Best burger I have had in a long time! They had a deal during the Fringe that I bought. It was very tasty. The waitress was super nice and quick too.

Mi hermana y yo estuvimos aquí para comer después de pasear por la Milla Real para un poco. La camarera que nos atendio, fue maravilloso. Ella sugirió artículos nativos de Escocia (somos de Minnesota) incluyendo Irn Bru y haggis. Ambos son algo que aconsejamos probar si nunca has tenido antes. Deliciosa comida y bebida.

This Restaurant fantastic, the meal was absolutely gorgeous the BBQ Wings were great the Roast rump of Lamb was very very tasty and my desert I’m having is superb I would say to anybody coming to Edinburgh come to itchycoo Bar & Kitchen you won’t regret it

Wir haben 1 Woche im Hotel Radisson Blu an der Royal Mile verbracht, das übrigens sehr toll ist, nur die Bar und das Restaurant ließen sehr zu wünschen übrig !

It was a great place to rest when it was so cold in MARCH! it snowed!. We loved the fabulous warm scones with fresh strawberries and the infused tea. lovely! great service and very friendly.

We have just been for afternoon tea at Radisson Blu today after I had heard how good it was from family and friends. We had an itison voucher for this. I phoned to make a reservation and the woman on the phone was VERY rude and abrupt telling me they don’t take weekend bookings. My voucher said it was valid 7 days a week and so I had to correct her. She quickly changed her tune once I had informed her of this and booked us in. Before arriving, I phoned to let them know we would be taking our 1 year old with us so could they provide a highchair. They said this was fine.

Received a gift of a voucher for afternoon tea here. Laid back service to the point of slow. Ages to be served then ages to get our afternoon tea then again delay in getting our tea. No offers of topping up tea pots. I would say the food was good, plenty sandwich’s and different cake, shame about the scones, dry and ridiculous foam cream instead of clotted. Overall a bit disappointing considering this hotel is city centre. Could do better.

We did visit the Radisson Blu Hotel at the tail end of last year which was a bit disappointing.

Viajamos desde la frontera para el té de la mañana en el Restaurante Itchycoo. Valió el viaje. Mesa de preciosa china y platos tazas de pomos, y té de la mañana en sí era absolutamente delicioso. Un montón de sabrosas delicias para elegir incluyendo un bacon, bollos, croissants, muffins, panqueques, galletas, granola y yogurt, pasteles, incluso aguacate en tostadas (que nunca he probado antes, oh Dios mío, era precioso! )

I have been here the last two weekends - once with my partner for morning tea and once with friends for afternoon tea.

We ordered from their menu several times while staying at the Radisson Blue. Very good food each time!!

We visited for a late afternoon tea at 4.00pm with an Itison voucher . We were shown to a nice table and they rechecked our allergy and dietary requirements We had a very nice selection of cakes ,scones and meringues and the chef came through from the kitchen just to check we were fine with the selection which was a nice touch .My partner cannot drink Cranberry juice so the bar made up a small cocktail with soda ,strawberry and mint which was very refreshing .The food was great and we could not finish everything on our plates . We would certainly recommend this restaurant on todays showing

My friends and i had booked in for afternoon tea . The sandwiches ,scones and cakes were very average nothing special . We expected more from a four star establishment. As for the staff they never spoke to us again after taking our order which is appalling.

Lovely afternoon tea served by lovely friendly staff

Good hotel restaurant with a friendly staff.

My wife and I had a pre-booked Afternoon Tea we were welcomed by a friendly member of staff and we placed our order requesting tea with our meal.

The 'vintage' afternoon tea was pretty poor compared to the selection they used to provide.

We kept coming back for food and drinks. The staff, Anna, Monica, Josh, Wojtek, Alicia and Isobel made our days! Fantastic!

I received an itison voucher for afternoon tea here as a gift. Service was lovely. Not rushed at all. Ordered some prosecco to go with it. All very fresh and cakes as light as air. Delicious and would return

The food was really nice, friendly service, easy access. right off the main street, not to expensive, nice coffee

We were staying in the hotel for 2 nights and decided to have dinner here based on the reviews we had read. Service was fabulous and the food also!

We had dinner here one night during our stay in Edinburgh. I had the fish and chips and it was excellent! Hot and crispy, just delicious. I don't remember what the rest of my family ate but everyone was happy with their meal. Service was prompt and courteous. We didn't try any alcoholic drinks but the bar seemed well stocked. I would recommend, especially if you are staying at the hotel.
