I was pretty baffled at the experience I had here this week- I understand that this is a pub environment however, frankly, it's quite a nice pub, and I had been looking forward to coming here for food and some drinks. After a general bad attitude from one member of staff in particular, he decided to come over and rudely say 'there are coasters at the table you can use you know' whilst snatching our menus away. For context, at this moment, I scanned the room and not a single other person in there had a coaster under their drink. One of us had a corner of our glass on one of the menus without realising which, while I understand is irritating for the owners of said menu, I do not believe justifies rudeness to customers. I have worked in customer service and hospitality my whole life and have seen a lot worse be done to such items but still, I would never consider being outright rude. After we asked him if 'he would mind throwing a couple over', he again, rudely turned around and said 'what did your last slave die of?' before walking away. We left immediately and decided not to eat anything. Now, I really do have a personal belief that if you're going to take out your disdain towards life on the general public, customer service isn't really the career for you. It's very concerning when staff clearly get enjoyment out of being rude to people and putting a sour taste on their day. I will make sure to tell everyone I know to avoid this long haired, ponytailed, dark-haired, glasses-wearing man at all costs if they so happen to stumble into this establishment.

Very disappointed. Went in for lunch, only to be told it was a "minimal menu" - only Christmas lunch menu, light bites (nachos etc) and the "special burgers". Special they were not. Two chicken burgers with mayo and chips. The chicken was as tough as old boots - so much so we didn't eat much of it. The french fry chips were hit and miss - some cold, some warm. And all for the pleasure of £28 for two. Won't be back

So this was classed as our local as we always have supported local businesses and this included the Bonnington. We always had a good relationship with management and staff over the past few years. So we went in a few weeks ago with our Neice and her 2 children. We booked a table downstairs, away from the bar and near the disabled/baby changing toilet as our 3 year old great nephew was potty training. During the course of the next few hours the kids were in the toilet a few times and was always supervised by one of the adults, no problem. One going to pay our bill we were told several complaints were made about leaving the toilet door open, seriously!!! We spoke to the so called manager (she definitely needs a course in people skills) who then told us it was a few complaints. We asked why no one had spoken to us over the course of the evening to make us aware of this, no explanation given. She then backed away with her hands up, no need for this and told us ‘it was 2 against 1’ why would someone say this and she had customers waiting, I asked what we were….. We left the pub and after going over everything we were really annoyed no one had even raised this as an issue. Following day I received a text telling me that they felt uncomfortable serving me!!! Text was not signed and I wanted to know how they got my number??? No response from text or my email to management company. I found the whole experience unprofessional and lacking in customer service and by the way this bar is now run I am sure it will not last very long as if you don’t have locals spending in your pub then what do you have moving forward. Would not go near this pub folks if you have any sort of opinion that is not the Managers opinion

Don't get the wings. They used to do some amazing Korean wings and buffalo wings. Change of ownership and the wings are now so tiny, really dry and more expensive. My friend got them last week as well and they were the same.

Although it's not a 100% vegan establishment, The Bonnington has some cracking vegan and vegetarian options that can compete with the best restaurants in town. Myself and my partner - both vegans - are here at least once a month. Absolutely addicted to Korean cauliflower wings! They're just gorgeous! Decent vegan breakfast too with This isn't bacon rashes and loads of vegan sides and mains options. Staff is super friendly and cocktails and coffee and class.

What a fantastic meal, my wife and I shared some delicious plates, along with the kids enjoying there’s too ( always a bonus when they eat what they’ve ordered) if you’re unsure what to go for, as like us you like the sound of the whole menu the staff are very welcoming on giving advice on all the options. we’ll be back for sure!

We visited on a Friday night & the pub was full. We did have to wait a little while for our drinks but Joel spotted this & came over to explain it was a new food & cocktail menu that night so things were taking a bit longer. He apologised & got us some drinks. I’d had a stressful day so this was really appreciated. Great atmosphere, food was good & the menu was quirky. We really enjoyed our visit & would definitely go back . Joel’s customer service was exceptional & really made our night.

The food is amazing. We had the wings, haggis and shrimp tempura as starters and the duck and hake for mains. Very impressed by the inventiveness of the mains. We tried a good selection of the cocktails. Each coctail had all components perfectly balanced for me. You couldn't decide which to get because they all looked exciting.The atmosphere was also lovely even in this socially distanced environment.

We went to The Bonnington after being recommended. The staff were really lovely and welcoming. We had starters, and Fish and Chips for our mains. I had Lemon Tart, but my husband had to have an alternative, because they had run out of virtually everything on the Dessert menu, and it was very early evening. Still, it was a lovely meal and we thoroughly enjoyed it. It was also nice, given a recent experience elsewhere, to see the whole staff fully concordant with Covid safety rules. Well done.

The place is lovely and the staff are super nice, local and friendly. Exactly what you want. The food was great too, haggis bites were amazing and then the duck was absolutely beautiful. I would just say the portions are quite small of the main course, leaving me still hungry and at £16 I think it is, you hope for a bit more on your plate. The amount of meat is great but if they could add more of the cheaper stuff like veg, and add another veg, then it would be so so good.I had the tart for dessert and it came with a piece of meringue, some berry compote and I asked for ice cream instead of creme. It so was good. That was a good size for the price and filled me up more than the main did and I think was bigger!I would go back again but perhaps not get that dish as it's not great value for money as it is.My friend got the rissoto and said the amount of goats cheese was a lot and great. He then got the plum crumble and though it was extremely 'plummy' I tasted it and thought it was amazing.

Great food since under new management. Live opposite and recently ordered takeaway of two burgers and chips they were amazing. Takeaway coffee very disappointing ordered 3 times and each time asked for it to be very hot yet each time was lukewarm. Never door at Bonnington Brunch you get 3 times the size for the same price and hot very small at Bonnington Bar. I mentioned it to them but they didn't seem bothered. Disappointing so I won't be buying coffee there again or recommending.

Under new management, different menu but nice limited selection, however, the interior of the restaurant felt quite sparce and devoid of furnishings. Table was booked for 7.30pm Saturday night but they'd ran out of filet steak and all desserts, there was nothing. Was extremely disappointed as we'd not ordered starters to opt for dessert, they should have mentioned it at the start of the meal. The mains we did order were nice but a bit disappointed about the whole experience, particularly as we have been big fans of the bonnington in the past. Hopefully this is just teething difficulties but I won't be back until I can see consistent standards coming through in reviews as Edinburgh has too many good options to settle for a mediocre meal. Has to be 3 stars unfortunately.

First of all I would like to state there was nothing wrong with the service the young guy who served us was friendly and polite. The food was shocking we ordered our starters and mains and waited a while but drank our wine. Then all of our food came out together, why?? How can you eat starters and main courses together?? The dirty chips were not what was stated on menu just chips with cheese thrown on and melted. The Haggis bon bons were solid and over cooked there was no presentation or garnish just thrown onto a black napkin. The garlic bread with cheese was Luke warm, the cheese was not even melted properly and the garlic butter on the bread was still hard and not even melted. I complained and sect the food back and told them I would pay for the wine but I didn't want the this and I was not paying for it. Such a shame as we were there a few weeks ago and the food was lovely. The food must be improved as with the presentation or the reputation will go down hill. I work with food and I am a fully qualified chef and I would never in my wildest dreams serve food to anyone of that poor standard.

Llamados para almorzar ya que este pub tiene excelentes críticas, esperábamos grandes porciones, etc. Desafortunadamente, han introducido un nuevo menú que no coincide con los viejos menús que todavía se muestran afuera, ya no hay burritos ni nachos. Muy caro y las porciones no son geniales, entrantes muy pequeños (¿medio rollo de pan ciabatta para pan de ajo por 4 libras?) Inicialmente, el pescado y las patatas fritas grandes se veían geniales, pero eran engañosas ya que el pescado se veía bien pero resultó ser todo rebozado pequeña porción de pescado adentro. Fue lo suficientemente agradable, pero con 13 libras esperarías un pedazo de pescado de buen tamaño. Las patatas fritas eran agradables para ser justos. Vino con un pequeño molde de guisantes que estaban extrañamente secos. Bebidas muy caras también. Servicio educado y amable, pero lo echaría de menos.

A former 'working class' type pub, but now taken over by new young ambitious staff. The menu was what would be expected with 'pub' grub, but was enhanced by the food being cooked very well , and with very generous portions. Imagination and flair was obvious in the preparation of the 'special' of the day. It was also noted that families with young children were welcome and catered for in the dining/lounge separate from the public bar.

Popped in for a very late lunch after a day walking round Edinburgh. The staff were welcoming and accommodated us at the table we wanted. The food was excellent, huge portions which were great value. The bill for four mains and soft drinks came to just over £40.

Popped into the bar today for the first time. The barman was superb at his job and so fabulous with his customers! Whilst we didn’t eat the food looked gorgeous and one customer actually told us the ham hock cakes, topped with a poached egg and bearnaise sauce was incredible!

was told by the kids that it was typical pub grub, far from it, the portions were hearty, thr specials, pork and applewood smoked cheddar lasagne was good, the salmon prawn and avocado in a creamy lemon sauce was superb, the service was good, and for four of us, inexpensive. would definitely revisit.

We ate here upon recommendation of the guest house we were staying in, and it didn’t disappoint. The lovely Irish owner was very pleasant and it had a real family feel to it. The food was lovely and the portions were huge - definitely great value for money, so much so that I couldn’t clear my plate!

Just moved to the area and so happy to have the Bonnington as our local. Excellent food, really friendly staff and great beer and wine - what else is there? Would highly recommend to anyone in the area.

This friendly pub/restaurant offers inexpensive meals with hearty helpings. The haddock and potato wedges dish was hot, fresh and tasty. Well worth a visit.

Os de viaje con uno amigos a Escocia y este fue la primera toma de contacto con la gastronomía escocesa. Fue uno de los mejores restaurantes que visité. Las hamburguesas inmejorables. Un sitio para repetir sin lugar a dudas. Además el trato del camarero fue excelente.

Stayed in an excellent AirBnB nearby and were fortunate that this lovely establishment was a few doors down and close to my daughter’s apartment, too. Excellent atmosphere, Andy the bartender was very engaging and helpful. We spent many an enjoyable hour here sipping pints and whiskey. The food in the adjoining dining room was varied and most excellent. Compliments to the chef!

We arrived in Edinburgh and got to our airbnb flat to find the Bonnington next door. We were hungry and thirsty after traveling all night, so we decided to try it. We had a wonderful lunch and felt right at home. We came back the next evening for drinks after my brothers arrived from the US. We had a graduation dinner here for my niece the next night, and pretty much did the tour of Scottish food. We had Haggis, Sausage and mashed, beef goulash, and veggie burgers. All were perfectly done and delicious. The food comes hot to the table, and the portions are generous.

This is the perfect local pub for anyone in the area. Always service with a smile. Dog friendly, quiz Sundays, live music, great food. The menu has something for everyone, and there are different specials on the board each day. Come hungry, the portion sizes are HUGE, and a really great value for money.

How refreshing going to a local pub, with a landlord who knows how to pull a pint…….it’s not just about dumping a pint of liquid in a glass. Had the food, staple pub food but done well; fresh ingredients, so good been back a number of times.

I'm rarely over this side of town and even more rare that I'll be eating but this place was a lucky find. Belter of a breakfast with some of the tastiest sausages I've had in pub grub. Warm roll was a bonus too.

Working nearby otherwise would never have come across this pub. Good meaty Polish stews & soups, so much flavour. Visited a few times last week trying various dishes. Good for a meal & pub quiz

We had a bit of a wait for our food, but that was because it is cooked from scratch, and there were other diners before us. But we were not disappointed! The portions were huge and the meals were delicious. It cost £20 for our two meals and two drinks. The pub is welcoming and clean, including the ladies, and the staff were friendly.

We visited The Bonnington this week as part of a trip to Edinburgh. It is located near to where we were staying in Newhaven Road and decided to call in for an early evening meal.

This was the nearest eatery to our airBnB and we were not disappointed. At the back of the busy bar is a 30 place restaurant offering honest food at very good prices. My wife had a burger and I had the nachos. Neither of us could finish our plates but the food was excellent and the service perfect.

Our first stop in Edinburgh was The Bonnington which was right next to our AirBnB. Our server was fantastic and friendly; making us feel right at home. He told us how to take the bus and also gave us various tips about the city. Fabulous service and the food also exceeded our expectations; large portions and delicious. Terrific!

Keeping it simple. The food was lovely and the service was perfect. Members of staff were great to explain aspects of the menu if you were unsure and were happy to give recommendations. Great place to have a quiet meal with friends, couples or as a family. Also in a very central location.
