The Fox & Faun in Edinburgh, City of

I enjoyed a wonderful evening here with 50 others from a meetup group. It is a great pub with a great vibe and a great selection of beers and spirits... and last but not least great staff.

Decent enough city centre pub. Plenty of tables. Food ok,not high end but ok for a pub.

We had the best birthday celebration here a few days ago. From the organization and preordering, through the amazing food and drinks. Unfortunately we were with a child and could not stay all night long :) The staff created memories, which will last a lifetime for us and we definitely recommend it 100%, as 5 stars is simply not enough!

Very welcoming staff, a very pleasant evening during our holiday in Edinburgh! Highly recommended!! We will be back these days 😃

Booked this a week before arriving in Edinburgh for a 7.15 table, I mentioned the rugby was on but was told it would have finished before we arrived so the pub would not be so busy. Well the walked down the street towards the pub and there were a few thousand people walking towards us from rugby and the pub was heaving with Scottish and South African supporters, the guy behind the bar apologised but we said it`s fine as we like sport and a bit of banter, our table was waiting and we sat with supporters and had a great night, could not have been better. We both had steak pie and roast pots with veg which was lovely, washed down with a few good beers. This is a "proper" pub for a good night out.

Very nice pub at the end of Shandwick Street at Atholl Crescent. Good pub atmosphere with friendly staff. Just stopped for a drink but have eaten here in the past. Food is good and prices reasonable. Give it a try.

I recently visited this pub when visiting the City. The pub was quite busy, has a large TV and staff were very friendly. I only had drinks so can't comment on food or bar snacks. I recommend visiting if your in the area.

Op Halloweenavond wilden we ons onderdompelen in feestgedruis. We hebben heerlijk gegeten, maar toen om 2100 uur de live muziek zou beginnen, bleek dat ze een matige deejay hadden ingehuurd. Helaas tot die tijd was de muziek erg leuk: jaren tachtig en uiteraard een aantal enge liedjes.

Fox and Faun had great vibes and great food! Fish and Chips were some of the best we had.

A great Scottish pub with great service... The Finn from Netherlands is a great guy 👍👍👍

Great food and service. Reasonable prices, well worth a visit.

Really friendly service and atmosphere. Great food

We absolutely wanted to eat mac'n cheese, we really weren't disappointed. The staff is very friendly and the dishes are super good and plentiful 😊

It's a fun little pub to have a great Scottish meal. They also had some cool cocktails 🍸

Cozy place, live music after 21:00.

I came with my family and was served by the wonderful marta! She was so helpful and informative - would recommend! Thank you Marta!

Expensive but pleasant pub. Friendly welcoming staff.

Gran pub agradable para perros con personal encantador y ambiente. Margot y Wendy le encantó. ¡Volveremos! Luna es el perro residente y ella es muy linda

Really nice atmosphere, stuff so lovely especially Kym, amazing food.

Entramos en el Zorro y Fauno por capricho en nuestra primera noche en Edimburgo y estamos muy contentos de que lo hicimos. Tenían música en vivo tocando y gente súper agradable. Nos lo pasamos genial y volvíamos cada noche que estábamos en la ciudad. Dan era tan grande y siempre se aseguró de que teníamos una mesa. Nos encantó y la próxima vez que estemos en Edimburgo estaremos de vuelta. ❤️ Pudín de toffee pegajoso es increíble.

We walked into the Fox and Faun on a whim on our first night in Edinburgh and are so glad we did. They had live music playing and super nice people. We had a blast and came back every night we were in the city. Dan was so great and always made sure we had a table. We loved it and next time we are in Edinburgh we will be back. ❤️ Sticky toffee pudding is amazing.

I booked a table for Thursday for 7of us,we got great service at bar we ordered a few sharing platters staff were attentive food was delicious. It’s a very relaxing bar and it’s great to see their dogs at bar very friendly would recommend to everyone

Great location, friendly staff, great selection of drinks.

Cozy pub just outside the old town of Edinburgh. Nice to have a drink 🍻

Lots of atmosphere on a Friday night, very nice waiters and live music. It took them a little while to serve us but it is understandable because it was very full. I recommend booking if you want to get a table.

Very cozy pub with good food, huge portions and nice staff. There are also pool evenings, live music and you quickly get to know new people. Gladly again!

The haggis bon bons were terrific, chicken wings falling off the bone, shepherd pie was excellent, and the chicken skewers with potato wedges were to die for! We almost walked by, we actually did the first night because of my friend, but he's loving it tonight!

A lovely place we visited for lunch. Service was very pleasant and food very tasty. Highly recommend.

Had an absolute blast this Tuesday. Live Music, wonderful drinks and atmosphere. Kim and the staff made our night extra special and we can’t wait to visit once again when travelling to Edinburgh. Such a gem

Great little place. Not been here for years, used to be Nimmos in the good old days. Lovely friendly welcome, good choice of beers. Although we never ate, the food did look good.

Very nice and attentive waiters. Great food and live music

Super nice people. Great pub atmosphere without being crowded or too loud. Dogs more than welcome :)

Best bar in Edinburgh! Beautiful people and great atmosphere music etc.. framed portrait of my cat soon to be installed!! Thank you Kim x

My wife and friend and I had great fun at this lovely neighborhood pub in Edinburgh! We went there 3 nights in a row out of our 4 in the city. (We were there later in the evening for drinks.) The patron and staff were both very friendly. The musical entertainment was very enjoyable....different each night. We met one of the owners (Daniel)....he was QUITE engaging and fun; and was very hospitable to us. Really enjoyed each evening there.

Loved the food!!! Service was great. Friendly atmosphere!

Fish and chips were delicious. Good portion of food, so arrive hungry.

Great food, good mix of regulars and people passing by. Would reccomend to anyone who's travelling into edinburgh and already been reccomended to friends and family.

Had the most amazing nachos here served by the most lovely new staff member, i think his name was Callum. I’ll definitely be back despite the absolute Karen on the next table being a nightmare customer and taking all her pent up aggression out on the lovely staff, still, it wouldn’t put me off returning if they put a muzzle on it :)

Really gone downhill. Went in today andy nachos were just a clump of vileness and the bar man was worse then useless. Such a shame as it used to be good. But clearly just being lazy and relying on the backpacker trade that were the main customers now.

Good fun, great to relax in, we were in a group of eight and we made it our local whilst there. Try their Sunday roasts, yummy!

Great food and kind, friendly staff. I highly recommend lunch or the soup of the day.

Friendly people, good music. Highly recommended if you want to have a lively good time. We met lots of new friends including one of the bar owners. They were all quick to share stories over a drink or two.

Hamburger 🍔 was excellent 🍟 fries excellent friendly Staff very good service good night spoil by going to the game

Was there today and had full Scottish breakfast and Innis & Gunn lager beer. Louis was amazing ❤️

Can not review the food, as we ended up leaving, without eating there. We entered, asked to be seated, got menus and waited. After 20 minutes, when only one waitress was working, and totally ignored us, while serving others, we have decided to leave :(

Delicious food, VERY good atmosphere and fantastic service. Especially Finn, who has served us with a smile from the beginning! Recommended 💯

Loved this place and their pulled pork is the BEST I’ve ever tasted! Lovely staff.

Service was awesome , very friendly. Best Expresso Martini in Edinburgh!

We arrived by chance on the way to the hotel. They treated us very well. We only ordered beer and hummus because we weren't hungry, but it was very good (you could tell it was homemade) and the beer was cold and well drafted :) Super friendly waiters and local atmosphere with live music.

Incredible pub!!!! By chance we saw it and without really knowing where we were going, we entered. Upon entering, the music, for a 54-year-old Amatxu, was brutal! They treated us wonderfully, very politely (as is usual in Scotland) and as it was our last day there, we ordered fish and chips with homemade tartar sauce and a hot grilled camembert with red fruit sauce. Awesome! The batter, made with beer, crunchy, tasty and truly "homemade". The extraordinary sauces, both tartar, red fruit and haddock, the best we tried in our 10 days stay in Scotland. Really recommended! The best place to eat in Edinburgh, without a doubt!

The best place to eat in the entire city, after ten days here. Huge, exquisite portions and great beer. Eighties music and very friendly staff. Fish & chips grilled camembert Caledonia Best top top top

Very nice food, happy atmosphere and great music. Awesome service by fun people. Thank you, we hope we will come back to Edinburgh and this place.

Fish and chips were good but meet pie was really bad and burger was over fried

Great food. Very good atmosphere.

Amazing staff and service, highly recommend it. Nice selection of spirits and Dan was heartwarmingly welcoming. Would definitely come back.

Auf dem Weg und aufgrund von Lust nach einem (!) Getränk kurz eingekehrt und länger geblieben. Getränke kalt und lecker, Bar Food frisch und gut, preislich total angemessen. Personal kommunikativ und wirklich sehr nett.

Stopped in briefly on the way and wanted a drink and stayed longer. Drinks cold and tasty, bar food fresh and good, totally reasonable in price. Staff communicative and really very nice.

Very friendly and welcoming. I enjoyed.

Incredible pie and beers! Friendly barman! Bit dingy inside

Fabulous fish and chips in a busy, noisy pub. The fish was delicious and the batter and fries crispy. Couldn’t be better.

Wonderful pub with a wonderful atmosphere, great food and nice service!

Good selection of mocktails and various beers. Food like a pub, but tasty. If you want to try haggis on your burger, you should order the Edinburgh burger. Delicious

Nice place for refreshing drink and food. Thanks 😊

Fabulous food and the nicest bartender! Fun atmosphere for a casual dinner and cocktails with friends. The macaroni and cheese with bacon was delicious!

Good food here had been a few times ,this time shocked to have the kids £5.50 meal served in a coffee cup ☕

If you are looking to drink a pint of Guinness you'll be ok. If however you fancy a cocktail, a G/T, or anything fancier, make sure you spend your money elsewhere! Horrible, watered down drinks that are "interestingly" priced

A lovely pub! First enjoyed a rowdy evening with a fabulous lamb and rosemary pie - easily the best meal I had in Edinburgh. Had a such a good experience that I came back for Sunday lunch. Sat out in the rare Scottish sunshine in the back patio area and made friends with the local dogs - as welcoming and lovely as the local patrons. Had the scrumptious tempura prawns, and braved the haggis bon bons - surprisingly tasty! All in all, my favorite pub in the city. Definitely a must-visit for great food and excellent hospitality in a charming pub-style setting!

Our favorite pub during our stay in Edinburgh! Great food, great drinks, and some of the friendliest people in town! Be sure to come and say hi to Dan, he’s the best!

Love the local friendly vibe in this pub. We were staying nearby and popped in on our last night in Edinburgh. Full of life, friendly hosts and delicious food. The fish and chips were just the thing - super fresh fish with excellent fat chips and mushy peas that I’m now a convert for. The Mac and cheese good too. It was quiz night and we came last but this place is a winner! Wish we had a Fox and Faun in our home town…

Very good food, friendly staff, the best fish and chips I've ever eaten.

We met a friend at the bar who recommended the fish and chips… let me tell you, first of all the portions were MASSIVE and very well cooked. We ordered the haggis bon bons, which were good, the pretzel, which was ok, the chicken wings, which were really good and we each had a fish and chips. We could have easily shared the fish and chips. As strange as it may sound, and as good as the fish and chips and tartar sauce were, the peas were f-ing AMAZING. So, so very delicious. Watched a game and drank some Tennets. Great patrons and servers too. Clean restrooms also.

Such friendly and welcoming environment for our family of 5. Bar staff were all so kind and nice. Food was great. Decor and atmosphere was lovely.

Great bar for groups, with a fun and cosy atmosphere. I've never needed to book far in advance even for bigger groups. Yummy selection of pub grub and a good range of drink types - not just beer.

Nipped into the fox for a cold pint and a burger, can't go wrong.. Sam and kym are very experienced and are very friendly. Would come back in a flash :)

Very good pub in Edinburgh. The atmosphere is great, the treatment is very good and it is also pet friendly. The food and beer are very delicious and at reasonable prices. I recommend!

My favorite pub from our Edinburgh trip; great service, good food, and a lively crowd. We enjoyed the pie of the day, and the fish and chips looked great.

You had me at "this is our pub dog"! Food was exceptional, good beers, and friendly staff made stopping here a highlight of our time in Edinburgh.

The food was amazing!! A must in Edinburgh. Had the vegan nachos and the vegan chili.

Great food & drinks with lovely staff not sure about the heavy metal music in the background though !!! Made to feel very welcome in a very busy pub.

Had fish and chips, large portion, kinda an odd atmosphere

We love their chicken wings and sweet potato fries - we have this every time we go.

I ordered a caledonian best and nachos, loved both things. Nachos are a bit spicy but the quantity was huge for a small plate. The service was slow but amazing, order at the bar if you want quick service. The atmosphere is also nice, love the ambiance and decor, I liked that it was not too loud. 100% recommend!

This bar/pub is very pleasant and seems like a place favored by locals from the nearby neighborhoods. The food is fresh and very good, at least from what we tried (Haggis bon bons, hummus, and chicken wings). Everything was freshly prepared and delicious. The waiter was friendly and made excellent suggestions. I highly recommend this place for a great evening.

We ordered food and drinks, had great drinks in a nice atmosphere, but never received our food. After what was already a long wait, we checked in with the waitstaff to make sure our food was still coming because we knew the kitchen was closing up soon. We were assured that it was still in process, but it wasn't until about 40 mins later when I went back to the bar when he actually went and checked, and let me know that our ticket had been lost somehow. At this point, the kitchen was closed, so we weren't able to get our food. He owned his mistake and gave us a discount on the drinks, but really should have comped them entirely imo, given the nearly 2 hour wait with no food.

This was a very friendly and comfortable local pub in our minds. the owner works there, he works hard, he knows how to treat his customers and this ethic shows in the rest of his staff. My dessert was delayed in the kitchen and both the staff and the owner apologized perfusely and gave me the dessert for free. that may be feel good even though my dessert was late period

Very cozy pub with good food. The waitress was extremely attentive and friendly. If we lived here, this would be our local pub.

We ate here twice and both times we were well looked after. The staff are lovely and friendly. The food is gorgeous no problem recommending a visit. Just beside the westend stop for the tram.

Really like this pub, some good beers on tap (Ossian), good atmosphere and things like quiz nights regular, food good as well (do expect Edinburgh prices being a bit high, not a cheap night out)

Great services, friendly and welcoming. We highly recommend.

The staff was fantastic, and service was top-notch. The food was good and well presented. I would go back for it as I thought the local flavor was fantastic.

Nice and characteristic pub, great beer, good food, kind service. Live music on Saturday.

A realy nice place to enjoy some tasty beer while hearing nice live Musik 👍

Best local pub good musics denent prices beverages sound as bar denters have good chat fome here for a class 🕰️

Really nice pub with incredibly nice staff and very good service! Nice flare, good food and entertainment with live music Definitely would recommend

This is my first time traveling outside of the Americas and I had spent a couple of hours aimlessly wandering the streets of Edinburgh. In my sensory overloaded state, I realized I had waited too long to get something to eat. I meandered into The Fox and Faun because, hello, the name is phenomenal! And despite how busy it was and my awkwardness and tiredness, the bar tender/proprietor was SUPER accommodating. I ordered the fish and chips which came out piping hot. The fish was perfectly flaky with a perfectly crisp breading and the portion size was really generous. I would definitely return and recommend checking it out if you get the chance!

Loooooong wait for food. But tasted good

Very nice atmosphere! The dishes are delicious and the servers are very friendly.

Lovely old pub and friendly barman who chatted to us.

Stayed at the Air b n b next door and had dinner and drinks in the pub. Very vibrant and busy pub and restaurant. Great location for buses and a tram stop. Staff are friendly and helpful.

If you're in the West End, first of all, congratulations, but also stop in here for a pint! It's a great local pub a little away from the main tourist destinations so you'll get fair prices and friendly service. They do a lot of trivia if you're into that scene as well. I recommend the Mac 'n' Cheese and the pie! Both were delicious with a pint of Caledonian. Also just a bit of advice -- order at the bar if you're hungry. It can get busy and the service may struggle to make it to your table in a reasonable time. Other than that, highly recommend this for anyone in the area!
