The Huxley in Edinburgh, City of

Staff were very attentive and solved any issues we had. Luke was very quick to get a drinks order from me and even quicker making them. Once we had all arrived, Annabelle looked after us and promptly rectified some fries that were too salty. Food was great and cocktails were yummy. Would recommend

Nice place for a drink got seated in a bay style window was a great place to watch the busy city pass by. Service was friendly and welcoming. Only stayed for a few drinks as had dinner reservation upstairs in Kyloe.

Excellent Burger joint in Edinburgh. Great food, excellent service and a lovely atmosphere. Not cheap but, to be honest, I thought it would be more expensive than it was.

The good was quite good and the atmosphere was very fun and entertaining. Worth a visit. The fish and chips and Mac n cheese were delicious!

Excellent food & fantastic cocktails. Unfortunately the customer service is some of the worst I’ve ever experienced. Visited twice. First visit was very pleasant. Second visit was awful. Sat at a table for 10 minutes before I was handed a menu like I was getting a traffic ticket or something. Order was taken 15 minutes later from a server who affectionately referred to me as lovely. Received breakfast with no silverware, drink or water. Staff was completely indifferent. I worked in the restaurant industry for over 20 years. What was most infuriating was their idleness and chitchat. It wasn’t that busy. I understand being in a restaurant when it’s slammed, and you can’t take care of your customers. This establishment seems to lack any kind of floor management. Kitchen and bartending excellent. Big disconnect getting to the customer though. Would not recommend unless you like to gamble.

unexpected, unusual, familiar, very good, pleasant atmosphere

Stopped here for a coffee and snack after just arriving from airport. My fellow traveller couldn't find her handbag when we were leaving. We were afraid it was stolen. Friendly personell helped us out and viewed their cctv footage to help out. Turned out we didn't come in with the bag, probably left it in the bus! So they pointed us to the bus company where we could retrieve it. We were so relieved! Oh, and the coffee & snack I had was really good too 😀 Returned a day later for a snack of great side dishes too: yummy fries and some glazed carrots. Was served by friendly staff again. Would certainly recommend and visit again!

Had the french toast, eggs Benedict and a croll, very lovely

Arrived late into Edinburgh and this was a real find. They serve food until 10pm and it was delicious. My husband had a rare steak cooked to perfection and I only wanted a light meal so had chicken wings and beetroot, feta and fennel salad. Simple but delicious menu and great drinks list as well. The staff were lovely and would highly recommend.

Went in the first time bc it’s right next to my hotel. The welcome was phenomenal by hosts and bar staff, and dinner was delicious. Great drinks too. But the truly outstanding feature of this restaurant was the personalities and the service, especially Annabelle James, who ended up taking care of me two nights in a row. Excellent interpersonal skills, pleasant, intelligent, efficient, unobtrusive, and helpful. Shes terrific at her job and I enjoyed making her acquaintance. I will come back here again.

Amazing place! I was up in Edinburgh on business and popped in here for a meeting and a working lunch. Beautiful place & the staff were AMAZING. Nothing was too much trouble. I have never felt so looked after! The food was delicious and the cocktails were delightful! I will 1 Million percent come back here the next time I'm in town! Thank you! What a fun work day!

Nothing amazing. When you read the menu, it sounds epic, but what actually arrives is a bit lacking. I wouldn't rush back. Staff are lovely.

Absolutely loved our breakfast here. We walked in off the street to be greeted with such a warm welcome. The food was fantastic and the service was even better. Jordan was so kind and courteous, he couldn’t do more for us. Would recommend 100% if you’re in Edinburgh!

Great service from staff , good atmosphere and a great situation at princes Street

Recently came in for a few drinks after a busy day of sightseeing and was greeted with a warm welcome by Annabelle! She recommended some cocktails which we absolutely loved. Atmosphere was lovely and cheerful. A very enjoyable experience at The Huxley, and she’s talked us into coming back to try the breakfast menu too!

Great place. Very nice service, great drinks and food. Beautiful view of the castle

Lovely breakfast, good value and lovely staff

A wonderful place to enjoy food and drinks situated at the west end of princes street with really friendly staff and delicious food this is not to be missed, we love relaxing here with a nice bottle of pinot grigot

Beautiful place inside and out. We popped in for a few drinks on Saturday night. The 3 Bartenders couldn’t be nicer. Didn’t get other 2 names, but one of them was Paul. Great drinks suggestions and brilliant chat. Will definitely be back and will recommend to others. Will be our new regular for sure. Keep up good work guys!

Food was great, the view as well was amazing. I ordered a caramel latte which was nice (Should have mentioned extra hot though). The Scottish Breakfast was really good. It's just the service was too slow for us even though the restaurant wasn't crowded. All in all, a nice breakfast experience, will come again!

The Huxley offers a fantastic breakfast experience in a chic and inviting setting. The Scottish Breakfast was generous and packed with authentic, rich flavours, capturing the essence of traditional Scottish fare. The Eggs Benedict Royale impressed with its perfectly poached eggs atop a tender base, all enveloped in a luscious hollandaise that brought the dish to life. The cappuccino was smooth, with a well-balanced blend that rounded off the meal perfectly. Ideal for a relaxed yet refined breakfast in Edinburgh. A thoroughly deserving five-star experience!

Fantastic! Great food, good atmosphere and some of the best service I have ever had in a restaurant...thanks especially to Nicole, great lady who made sure everything was perfect for the family Nothing was too much trouble. A rare thing these days! Cannot recommend thus place highly enough.

Nice breakfast selection and yummy, too. Price was reasonable, and the view from where we were seated was lovely.

Fantastic food, amazing service and great atmosphere. Seriously recommended.

Fantastic spot with fab service! Perfect for people-watching.

The food is absolutely beautiful, the atmosphere is lovely the staff are so friendly specially Kyle, he couldn’t do enough for me and my mum who are visiting, Kyle is so lovely and a a real credit to the establishment! Could not recommend enough!

Great service lovely atmosphere

I ordered fish tacos, they were cold. Ordered lasagna bites and that was cold as well. Also, got sick probably because the pork loaded fries weren’t cooked well.

It's a nice bar in a brilliant location. I was only there for coffee and food so I'm not sure what the night time vibe is like.

Could not cut my steak and un the end fave up. Said so when they cleared the table and later on was told that they tested the steak and took it off the menu and did mot charge me. That's what I call customer service.

Great service, food and ambience. Great place for lunch or drinks when in Edinburgh. Recommended.

We were looking to have a good breakfast before our departure, this is the ideal place. Very good, diverse choice and excellent waitress. I recommend ++++

Popped in for a drink after walking out of the 5 star establishment across the road after waiting for 15 minutes plus for no drinks to arrive and watching a mouse run across the floor in front of us. We were met with a warm welcome on arrival at the Huxley and were shown to a table immediately despite it being a busy Friday evening with no prior reservation. We told our server (Stewart) the story of our first attempt to get a drink at the other establishment which was meant to be a treat as it was our wedding anniversary. He took our drinks orders and brought our drinks over to us very quickly and a glass of Prosecco each on the house as it was our anniversary. Thank you Stewart! Great atmosphere, drinks and service

Lovely place and cosy atmosphere, however the customer service provided by one of your waitresses was terrible. Had total attitude towards our group of friends so unfortunately won't be back in a hurry.

This is a must-go-to!! Everything is homemade, presented with love and super good!! Staff super-friendly. Nice place. Gladly again and again... :-D

Worth stopping for breakfast or dinner....excellent dishes, local beers and impeccable service/cleanliness.....well done!!

One word to start; Great! Like any tourist it's sometimes hard to find a good place to eat not knowing the lay of the land. We ended up in The Huxley by very good misfortune. We had actually stopped in a close-bye restaurant and got completely ignored (never got seated) so we decided to leave that restaurant and go to The Huxley instead. We were very happy with the choice. From food, to atmosphere to staff, it was the best in all 3 categories in all the restaurants we ate in, as we traveled for 2 weeks through out Scotland and Ireland. The food and drink was superb but what really made our stay was Charlotte. Charlotte was an engaged, pleasant person. She took care of all our needs, answered all the annoying tourist questions we came up with, put us at ease and made us enjoy our day in Edinburgh that much more. It has been two weeks since we were in The Huxley. Through all the hustle and bustle, traveling 200 miles aday and trying to get in as many sights as possible, Charlotte still stands out in my wife's and my memory to the point of requiring us to write this review. We wish Charlotte and The Huxley continued success and would highly recommend both to new customers.

I wish they carried the Edinburgh Rhubarb and Ginger gin (not just the liqueur). Their trio of sliders is great, but it has been sold out a couple of times that I patronized the restaurant. Castle view side room is pretty amazing if you are lucky enough to get the spot.

Very nice young crowd in Edinburgh, breakfast top.

Excellent place for a drink or light meal with comfortable chairs, a view of the castle, and a bustling west end of Prince's St.

Great Scotch breakfast, the only way to start the day in Edinburgh. Great service in a really relaxed environment. And a great people watching area as well.

Food was great. I got the breakfast sandwich and it was good. The others in my group got eggs Benedict and the Brioche French toast and they loved their meals. The atmosphere is fantastic. Location is fantastic. Service was stellar and friendly as well. Monday morning about 9am is when we went.

Nice atmosphere, average food & service.

A saudi tourist review 🇸🇦 Came here for the breakfast, crolls are the best can’t get enough of it ! There juices were so fresh and sweet , french toast was not my favourite , staff were amazing,we modified our plates to halal versions, the view was breathtaking 💗 Definitely coming back

Good vibe good food +100 for taste of music here 🫶🏻

we are from saudi arabia , this is the second time her for drinks and food it was fantastic in every thing 💕

Fabulous food, comfy seats, clean and friendly staff. Just Fabulous

Great service, very tasty well cooked steak. However given the size I'd say it's overpriced.

Lovely place and the server Andrew was so nice to uss at the table. Will revisit soon😃👍

It was a nice place Will come back again for sure.good place for family and us couple

I had dinner one evening with my family in this restaurant, very clean and the staff were really kind, excellent food!

Cozy ambience, courteous waitresses and good food 👍🏻

Very clean and spacious....staff were wonderful...had french toast with maple syrup...excellent

Great service. Love the updated decor.

Came here with the wife, popped in for lunch bite to eat. Passed many times and for no reason, just never came in. Always go to George street for drinks and eats. From the moment we walked through the door, we felt very welcome. The staff were welcoming and had big smiles to welcome us. Showed us to our table and took a drinks order. On the return asked our food order. The food arrived and was pipping hot and have to say, very tastey. There are tables up a stair from the street level, but plenty on the same level. Chairs are very comfortable, only slight thing is they are a little lower than normal for eating food. But that’s a bit pick. It was ok! I’m sure it’s a nice place to have a drink, and you can sit and watch the world pass by the windows. It’s Edinburgh prices, but worth it for the quality of food. Would we come here again? Definitely

Very good food in a really nice location inside and in a central location for Edinburgh. The service was not pleasant, the waiter added his 10% tip without request and made an unpleasant joke about Italians. Who knows if they know that 90% of what they cook is Italian.

Delicious food, beautiful decor and friendly service. Go for the loaded fries! We added them to the haddock and the wagu beef brisket. Epic final meal in Edinburgh after surviving the Fringe.

Fantastic venue for breakfast/bruch The Crolls (croissant buns filled with a choice of fillings) are amazing and very good value for money Service was friendly helpful and efficient Will be our breakfast place to go whenever in Edinburgh

Highly recommended for breakfast, the stuff is very friendly

Love the place! The food is good, the staff are Brilliant! Shame we only had a few days here!

Do try their crolls with black pudding - simply amazing 👍 came here for breakfast a few times because it was so delicious 😋

We were in Edinburgh for the day visiting from up North as we try do a few times per year. It was very sunny and we really liked all the flowers outside the cafe so decided to sit and have a few drinks. Once we sat it was really awkward because we saw three waiters but nobody came up to us for 7 whole minutes (I know this because I’d just sent a txt message as we sat down). We tried to get the waiters attention and some even looked at us but there was no acknowledgement. Eventually a girl came over and I understand people can have bad days but it just seemed that she couldn’t be bothered with us. There was no smile or even polite chat, she just waited to see what we wanted. We ordered drinks which took another 6 7 minutes to come. Again no ‘do you need anything else’, she just left. My Prosecco was so flat as if it was the last glass, I did drink it because I didn’t want to make a fuss. The same waiter who served us, her friends must’ve been sitting besides us because she then decided to sit with them and eat and drink. Maybe she was finished or on her break I don’t know. But we then didn’t know who was meant to be serving us. We finished our drinks but again nobody came up to ask if we needed anything else. It wasn’t super busy either btw. We managed to flag down a guy and I asked for another Prosecco but asked if it was nearing the end of the bottle I would order something else because my last drink was flat. He went away and returned about 5 minutes later saying the reason for our drinks delay was because they were opening a new bottle. As if that was a huge deal and reason for a delay. We eventually got our drinks 10 minutes in total later. I just don’t really understand this place, cute spot decent decor but really slow and unfriendly service. I wouldn’t come back here again.

We had a drink here before heading upstairs for a meal at Kyloe. We had a window seat and our drinks were served at the table. Servers were efficient and friendly. The seating was comfortable.

Service was slooow, it seemed that the waiters were idle a lot but I had to ask for the receipt more than once and food took a long time. Food was mediocre at best. Burger was very small and salad wasn't very good. I was charged 10% service charge without them asking me about it, had they asked I wouldn't have given it. I felt a little scammed at these prices.

Used to be one of our go-to bars in edinburgh. Unfortunately, they have seen fit to change the seating and decor and have downgraded the ambience as a result. Service was very slow, we waited 25 minutes for our drinks order and then gave up and left. Not recommended.

The Huxley is a fun restaurant with many indoor and outdoor tables, with the former surrounded by comfortable chairs and loveseats. The food is delicious, especially the soups and the burgers. The service was rather slow, but perhaps this is just by American standards and may be normal for Europeans.

Lovely breakfast, hash is particularly good, great service.

Nice place to be, professional staff, excellent menu.

Had an amazing experience at the Huxley last week to celebrate my partners graduation party, which they were really accommodating for our large party and had really great service without coming to the table too often. The portion sizes were amazing here, even for the kids meals, and the highlights for everyone was the burgers, fish and chips and loaded fries, but a small portion of the loaded fries is plenty for 1 person. Just a word of warning for people that don’t love ‘steak cut chips’ as they are served very large on the fish and chips dish, which may not suit everyone’s tastes. We all had a great time visiting and will be definitely visiting again!

Lovely bar, great atmosphere and helpful staff, prices are to be expected as in the area, will return.

Specially prepared lasagna snacks, three snacks for 20 pounds, very delicious, perfect for clinking glasses and drinking.

Very good food...great seat by the window with a view of Edinburgh's hustle and bustle.

Great cafe in the heart of Edinburgh. Big picture windows to take in the city scenery and architecture. Friendly staff and great food!

They prepared the dish to our liking, very good service

Nice restaurant to have brunch. First time I tried a croll, very nice. The place is pleasant and bright, the service is very good

En direction de Dean village, petite pause repas et super surprise dans ce restaurant. Plats typique écossais excellent, savoureux copieux. Serveur à l'écoute.. Et bières ipa a déguster. Attention très copieux, et bon marché. On a prit 3 plats et cela suffit largement pour 2.

Breakfast tasty and reasonably priced

This restaurant, right outside our Hilton hotel, formerly the Waldorf Astoria, was very conveniently located. The fare was good, not excellent, and the service horrid. They served one of main courses to other guests which basically ruined our experience. They were apologetic and didn’t charge for that plate after it ultimately arrived.

A lovely place for pre - dinner drinks with a choice of tables indide or out. Cleanest outdoor area in the city. Staff were first class. Toilets were clean prices a little higher than others nearby, but you are in the capital, and the environment was worth it.

It's an excellent place to go for a drink or something to eat! Excellent customer service and delicious food with affordable prices.

Very good location and beautiful place

Came here for some lunch and cocktails on a Saturday afternoon and it was really nice, loved the decor. I got fish tacos with cheesy fries, my brother and his friend got the chilli beef tamale pie and everything was really good. I got a great wine recommendation and the server was really friendly. Would definitely recommend :) we will visit again when we are back in Edinburgh

We love the Huxley! We have been to Edinburgh twice and gone both times. Our first time we stumbled upon it and were thoroughly impressed and our second time we made it a priority to go. The meals are delicious, the wait staff are friendly and the space is adorable.

Loved this placed. We was recommended this place and everything was very good cocktails 🥂, food service, atmosphere. Would definitely go back.

Amazing beef brisket sandwich and Castle Rock view. Bit slow the service

I read the good reviews so I thought I would come and have my breakfast. After I was shown to my seat, it was 15 minutes before they took my order. I was about to walk out when the lady finally came to take my order. Once my order was in, the food didn’t take long to come out. I had a Carmel latte, which arrived warm, not hot and was stone cold by the time I was finished it. The eggs Benedict was nice, and satisfied my moaning tummy. A nice decorated cafe with a great atmosphere, I can see its appeal.

Best classic and vegan burger we ever had! Class.

Stopped in for a light dinner on my own. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I had the most delicious Brisket roll and fries. There was plenty of fries and a fantastic roll with melt in the mouth brisket. I was quite full, wanted the smores pudding but decided against it as I thought it would be too much. The server suggested the kids portion and I am so glad I had it. I could have left with no pudding and never having it. His suggestion was perfect with the ideal pudding and a nice wee cocktail to round it off.

The Breakfast is great here and the tea is sooo good.

Delicious fish and chips Nice setting Overlooking princes street and the tram

It was an excellent service, delicious food and drinks, lovely place !!

All very well! Excellent service, attention and predisposition, I hope to return soon

Staff was rude and breakfast was burnt out with bad burning bread taste. The atmosphere was alright and the decoration is really lovely.

When we first walked in, we were given dirty cups for tap water that were later replaced with another pair of smelly cup when we pointed out the dirty cups (one had clear lipstick marks on it). Then when we ordered our breakfast, we got burnt toast with the smashed avocado toast (the whole thing tasted burnt because the toast is the base). On top of that, the service was not very friendly.

Wow, wow & wow. Cannot recommend the Huxley high enough. Loaded fries with haggis and whiskey sauce - amazing, as well as cocktails and the fantastic decor and ambience. A special thanks to the wonderful waiters, Jack and the young lad who had just turned 18, sorry didn’t catch his name. Thanks also for the complimentary Prosecco for my birthday, a lovely and appreciated gesture.

Had the French Toast with Nutella and Banana. Delicious but phew... very filling

Very warm atmosphere, traditional shelled and hearty breakfast. The servers are kind and pleasant. Reasonable price. We had a great time.

Very friendly staff.. Nice place to have a drink and meal.

The place looks nice, but it’s a scam. Do not eat here!
