A great place to eat nice fish and chips. The booth was very posh, the table was shiny and plates and cutlery were quality. The staff were nice. The prices were very good. We booked in advanced. It is near festival theatre, so it can be fully booked around events there. The tables near the window have great views of the street. We had scampi and battered fish and chips, tea, ice-cream, brownie which were awesome.

Walked in to try some of their fish and chips. We were seated properly for a table of two in the upstairs section, which is very nice. The fish and chips itself was on the oiler side so if you like earlier food, then this would definitely hit the spot otherwise Would say that it was all right. They did offer some sauces on the side chips however, if you’re not a chip, you could substitute in onion rings for an extra cost. for two people to orders, efficient chips and a drink. It came up to around 40 pounds so pricewise it was decent but still on the more expensive side for what you got.

I had been to City Restaurant before and the food was decent. Tonight though I had a Haddock Supper to take away and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. The fish was smelly and greasy and beginning to rot, giving off a sour smell. Surely the staff were aware of this? I am a forgiving customer, but there can be no excuses for that. Will never return.

The burgers were so bad. absolutely horrible, neither of us ate them, the dogs had them. The burger meat was a slab of patê and the buns were soggy with the amount of sauce thrown over the side of them. Chips were fine but terrible burgers unfortunately, so expensive too!

My first haggis was from @city_rest95 which is right next to the Festival Theatre…perfect for my dinner before going to a show! The staff were super friendly and the food was nice…the fish and chips that the table next to me was having looked yummy too 😆

We stumbled across City Restaurant on our way to the National Museum. So glad we did! We shared the Haggis Bonbons as a starter. They were delicious. Piping hot, beautifully seasoned and served with a lovely sauce. Our mains were a burger with bacon and grilled pineapple, and battered prawns with chips. All very good. My cappuccino and my husband’s milk shake were excellent. Friendly service and fresh, bright decor. We will visit again.

I had the City Burger and was a bit disappointed with the taste and there was something indefinable on top that could only be achieved with a lot of struggle with the knives 😁 so I definitely won't be a regular here and can't recommend it from my side. The service was very friendly, hence the third star, otherwise it would only be two.

City Restaurant never disappoints. The food won't blow your socks off, but it's tasty, fresh, and always good. The portion sizes are great, and it's more or less average price for the area. It's basically a chippy you can sit in. What's not to like? The service is good and the staff are all friendly, it's always busy which gives it a good atmosphere. It's very handy for a pre theatre meal if you're seeing a show next door. The highlight of the meal was the honeycomb cheesecake, which was phenomenal. Definitely recommend.

The City Restaurant is an Edinburgh institution. A sit-in chip in the middle of the city, they have been serving up delicious chip shop favourites and more for longer than I can remember On the menu are the usual fish and chips, pizzas, and burgers you can normally find in most chip shops. With some other tasty treats thrown in, too. The menu is stacked with all manner of different dishes, and it may take you a little while to decide on exactly what you want!! Our table of 5 ordered some haggis bon bons for a starter. Then fish and chips, chicken and chips, and a pizza. All the food went down a storm with us. It was all piping hot and served up quickly. The Staff are all very friendly and happy to serve food with a smile The restaurant can be found next door to The Festival Theatre. So if you are in town for a theatre trip it's the most convenient place to enjoy some pre show dinner. I'd recommend this place to anyone who likes traditional chippy food aswell as burgers and pizzas Top quality tasty food at great prices

Turned up at 6 o clock on a Thursday without a reservation, but luckily they had a free table. Welcomed well and shown to our table speedily as we were going to the festival theatre for a show at 7.30. Order taken quickly and efficiently, arrived within about 15 minutes, I had a great tasting and sizeable portion of breaded fish and chips which was delicious and my partner had an equally good sized portion of haggis, needs and tatties with a whisky sauce, which was also delicious. I had a sugar free irn bru and my partner had a latte. £36 all in, such great food and service I volunteered a 10% tip, so about £40. All done and dusted by 7pm. Happy customers, great food.

Fantastic restaurant, very clean, staff very friendly, helpful. I had there king rib supper & fried mars bar. Honestly I have had deep fried mars bars in various restaurants /chip shops... This was the best fried mars bar I have ever had, I was expecting the food to be slightly greasy... They definitely do not use trans fats in there oil. My only reservation is that it is very busy, with lots of chatter from surrounding tables... Apart from that I will definitely be visiting again. I will take photos of my food during my next visit

Been here a couple of times now and always during the Fringe. Place was very busy but despite this the service and food was great. Had fishcake starter was very tasty and good portion for starter. Then had the the fish and chips which was equally delicious good portion size and the piece of fish was excellent and fresh. Couple this with friendly effeciant service whilst very busy and under pressure means 5 stars for me. They have good sized menu and choice aswell as drink options. Highly recommend.

The fish and chips is amazing. Really big and plenty enough for a good meal! You wont go out hungry. The mac and cheese is basic but it's also a very basic dish. They serve it with some kind of bacon wich makes it better but it's also 2 pounds extra. The service is very quick ! The menu has a wide range from fish to burger to some normal dishes. This is definitely a good place to stop for Scottish food at really reasonable prices.

The servers are only kind for white. They asked me order but left me… Even though they talked to other customers and could afford to serve food to customers who came later than me. It seems that my order was forgotten, but it's also a pity that they didn't talk to me even when they saw me at the empty table…Some of them were gareing at me. They may have thought it was a customer after accounting, but it was uncomfortable anyway. I was so angry and disappointed. I can’t recommend this restaurant anymore.

This restaurant is a very solid performer in a city where food quality may often be a hit or miss, like in many other tourist oriented cities. The food is great.

It used to be an amazing place years ago when the prices were fair. The food is nice but it is overpriced. Fish and chips should cost £7-9 not £12. Update July 2024: It is now £15:50 for fish and chips!! Staggering price increase. As a result it is a once a year visit to this place now.

The pizza was delivered lying on its side so the toppings were spread over one corner and half of the pizza was only covered with tomato sauce.

Have been regularly for two years, and I can safely say it is the best Fish I've ever had. Two drawbacks: chips can be inconsistent, still very good, but not guaranteed world class like the fish. Also portions can be a little small, which makes the price a bit high. If you fancy a treat though, it is 100% worth it.

Went as part of a work-event at Christmas. The hall was stunning, big fireplaces and stunning chandeliers. The food was very very good and a fair portion. Service was prompt and polite and extra considerate for our colleague who can't have peanuts, reassuring him that they checked his meal each time. Food was served at a lovely temperature. I'd love to visit this place as a typical patron. Also, it's a treat to be so far up the Royal Mile as late as we were. Even though it was Christmas time, the street was fairly quiet and Edinburgh old-town looks lovely (ignoring the road works!)

Amazing place if you are in hurry or need a little brake on your adventure in Edinburgh. The people working here are super friendly and the prices are good. They have soup of the day if you need something warm and great selection of tasty pies (chicken and mushroom is my favorite). Totaly worth visit at least once!
