Era mi día libre y tenía muchas ganas de ir a algún lugar para almorzar, que tenía buena comida, así como ambiente. La magna no decepcionó. Tenía tres de sus platos pequeños y un par de copas de vino. Me acompañó mi perro, que el personal hizo muy bienvenido. Le proporcionaron agua y golosinas, realmente me cuidaron Rob y Sarah. Definitivamente volveré.

Como celíaco el menú es variado y emocionante. No hay necesidad de quedarse fuera, ya que el equipo se asegurará de que puedan satisfacer sus necesidades sin compromiso.

Mary and Vincent are such a joy to work with, their service is unparalleled. Compliments to all the cooks and chefs, the haggis is delicious, and they even made special accommodation. When I asked for one of the sides was that the main course. If you are looking for some traditional gastropub Scottish Fair, you have come to the right place. Hopefully I will get to return many times during this visit and our future trips to the city. Thanks again to Mary Vincent and the entire team!! Definitely tried to hang a spring rolls and the haggis that is on the main course alongside the veal. Also, I highly recommend asking about the variety of champagnes and whiskeys available. Sticky toffee pudding is not to be missed. We had the soup of the day which was a lovely squash soup. And the scallops are some of the best I've ever had, all local and perfectly cooked

I love The Magnum! I went there for the second time with my best friend and it never disappoints! The Magnum is more than a restaurant. The warm atmosphere makes it seem like you’re at a friend’s dinner party, not just dining out. The staff makes you feel genuinely cared for, adding a personal touch to every visit. It’s the kind of place where you can truly relax, like you’re part of a community, rather than just a guest at a restaurant, plus it’s pet friendly! The food is fresh, delicious, and well presented, and they have a great selection of cocktails and wine and the service is top notch! Last year, I ordered a Vieux Carré cocktail, but they didn’t have one of the ingredients. This time, our server remembered and surprised me with the cocktail without me even asking! I was really impressed by the level of service, It was such a nice touch. You can definitely trust this place, it’s a real gem!

My partner and I spent 4 evenings in Edinburgh last week and dined at The Magnum twice despite attempting to try a new place each day. We just had to come back because no other place could live up to the quality, atmosphere, cosiness and sincerity of The Magnum. Amazing staff and a wonderful clientele of mostly locals - a testament to the effort and passion put into this little corner of the city. The dish “Aubergine Involtini” was a strike of culinary genius and the little puff pastries served as an appetizer were a great surprise. Both evenings we arrived without a reservation and were seated at the bar since the restaurant was fully booked - this was truly a strike of luck as we would sit alongside kind local regulars who really made us feel at home. We are so grateful for the wholesome evenings and hope to come back in the future. Fun Fact: As soon as we landed back in Denmark, we ordered 3 of the whiskeys we tried at The Magnum: Auchentoshan (both Three Wood and American Oak) and the Talisker Port Ruighe. The bottles should arrive by mail today.

I was vacationing in Scotland and was recommended to go to this place by my Air BnB host and let me tell you, I was not disappointed in the slightest. The first time I went was for lunch and I had their lunch special, which was highlighted by the sweet chili beef. It was so good that my wife and I decided to get another plate of it. Looking over the menu, there were so many options I asked if they had any open reservations for dinner that night and Lewis was kind enough to squeeze us in. We showed up and they had our table marked with a little card with my name on it and were excited to see me again. For dinner I tried the Wagyu Burger and my wife had the King Prawn Pasta. Both meals were top notch and the burger especally would be in the top 3 burgers I've ever had in my life. We had a few more days of vaction left so I made another reservation for 2 days later following our first dinner. I knew our waitress, Olivia, would be working that day so I requested her specifically. When I arrived, they had my table marked again this time with a hand written note. The staff there is truly awesome. That night I had the beef cheeks while my wife had the burger she missed out on the previous time. The beef cheeks were superb. Not a single dish there was even remotely bad and the chef there has done a wonderful job with the menu. tl;dr: Lewis and Olivia are awesome and made me feel right at home, the food is top tier and creative, the staff as a whole were amazing and the atmosphere is warm and friendly.

Hands down best meal I’ve had in a longggg time. This place looks like a pub, but is run like a top tier restaurant. Everyone is hustling and bustling to provide the best service to you. The first evening, we had the venison, market catch, veggie soup, sticky toffee pudding, mango sorbet and chocolate marquis. It was absolutely sensational. We ended up loving it so much we came back the next evening for dinner and tried new dishes. The second evening we had the soup again, Korean fried chicken sliders, bacon cheeseburger, the steak with garlic butter, and the beef cheeks. We also had the panna cotta- holy moly best thing ever. Do yourself a favor and dine at this establishment at least once- make reservations as it does get busy in the evenings. There is not one thing I would change about this place- truly a phenomenal meal (both times!) and wonderful staff! Thank you to Lewis and Olivia for providing us with hands on experience and truly the best service we’ve had!

We were visiting during peak tourist season and truly wanted a good late lunch. Not an easy find at times. This place was well worth the walk. We were lucky enough to be seated without reservations, but that may be risky as it fills up rapidly. Tap water is fantastic The beer is spot on. We did a half carafe of red house wine. Solid choice. The food was excellent. Scallops and Haggis bon bons to start. Venison rare and oh so tender. Sides were excellent. The amuse bouche between courses were a treat. Cheese plate and port for myself and sticky toffee pudding for the rest of the group. Excellent meal. I would recommend the cheese be divided among several friends as it is a healthy portion. Staff was attentive and pleasant to interact with Not sure why it's a 4.5* on Google. Really 4.7+ in my estimation.

I had booked The Magnum for my partner's 30th Birthday for a group of 16 of us. I cannot rate this place more - it's a hidden gem in Edinburgh but I have to say it is definitely worth a visit. The food was sublime. A special shout out goes to Sarah the event organiser - from the outset, her knowledge of events, clear communication and professional manner was faultless! A fantastic venue for group bookings, a casual meal or event just for drinks with a gorgeous outdoor drinking area. Thanks Sarah and the team!

My aim when visiting Scotland was to try their national dishes. Cullen Skink and Haggis to be precise. A quick Google search and the Magnum was recommended. We were not disappointed. We arrived around lunch time on a Sunday and were seated at a really cosy table near the window. Perfect for people watching. We were presented with a full menu as well as a menu of smaller plates. Perfect for sharing. Lewis our waiter took amazing care of us. We ordered the Cullen Skink, haggis spring rolls and prawn tacos. We also ordered a large portion of chips. If it weren't frowned upon, I would have liked my plate it was so good. I'd 100% recommend having a meal at this fine establishment.

We enjoyed our last Scottish dinner at The Magnum. The restaurant is well-kept and very bright, the service was very friendly and the food was excellent, of excellent quality and tasted convincing. For an aperitif we had croquettes with cheese and Serrano ham, followed by a Cougère with aioli mayonnaise as a greeting from the kitchen. Starter “Bang-Bang” cauliflower and an open ravioli with porcini mushrooms and truffles. As a little refreshment we were then offered a melon gazpacho. The main course was the scampiliguini (classic) and the venison loin fillet (innovative) with black squash, green asparagus, artichoke puree, blackberries and a surprising café au lait sauce. For dessert we shared a rich cheese plate, with ham, apple chutney, quince jelly and crackers. All in all, a convincing dinner.

I was in Edinburgh for a week recently and, even with all the great restaurants, I ate at The Magnum 3 times. Why? The food is excellent; Delicious small bites, starters and main courses. I enjoyed every dish I tried, and loved the Cullen Skink, the scallops, venison, and haggis spring rolls. Great, professional, courteous service by a hardworking team. Nice, warm, welcoming atmosphere. The Magnum was convenient to my B & B in The New Town, however, it is worth travelling from other parts of the city to enjoy this lovely, lively restaurant / bar.

Whilst there, we saw the level of food that was being served to other customers. We will definitely be going back to try more. Compliments to the chef with his eye for detail and quality. The service was excellent as well. Sarah, one of the waitresses and Rob, the manager, went out of their way to ensure that we had a wonderful time, and we were only there for lunch.

We were staying at the Marriott Courtyard on a drizzly rain Monday night and looking for someplace nice to eat that wasn't too far to walk. When we settled upon trying The Magnum, we weren't anticipating that it would be the culinary highlight of our UK visit. Our server ( Sarah ) and the bar keeper 9 were friendly, helpful, and attentive without being intrusive. The ambiance was warm, inviting, and romantic. And the food was out of this world. Chef Piotr is clearly passionate about his work. Each dish was a creative blend of local ingredients, all perfectly prepared and plated, coming together in a way that had us excitedly trying to decipher the complex interplay of textures and flavors. Sarah helpfully answered our questions about some of the local produce that was new to us. All in all, it was one of the most memorable and delightful meals we've had in 30 years of marriage.

The choice of small plates and main menu items was really interesting and they have a fine wine menu with many good wines available by the glass with an excellent choice of beers. My husband particularly enjoyed his scallops followed by the Chilli beef and spicy prawn tacos. The rhubarb panna cotta desert and coffee were also excellent. My husband went for lunch for the next two days and thoroughly enjoyed the food, drinks, atmosphere and welcome on each occasion. Paeta ( The Head Chef) certainly knows what he’s doing! We will certainly return for another visit next time we’re in Edinburgh.

Went to the Magnum for my birthday meal and can honestly say it was fantastic. From the minute we arrived the service was 10/10. The decor and ambience of the restaurant is lovely. We had three courses and thoroughly enjoyed every single one of them. The quality of the ingredients is amazing. Would recommended this place!

My wife and I went here just before Christmas for her birthday. The place is great. We were advised when we arrived that they were very busy and there will be a delay in getting our food, no problem we weren't in a rush so all good. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. We had a cocktail and a whisky to start the evening, brilliant. They brought some tasty nibble then the starter, excellent. Then a pallette cleansers again great. Then I had the venison for my main, I must admit I was a little disappointed while the venison was cooked perfectly it was a little tasteless I've had venison many times before and this was a little lacking. Food wise, that is the only complaint. The wine, we ordered the malbec and at £41 a bottle not really up to it sadly. The wine is quite expensive here. Other than those niggles a good place to visit.

Ordered 3 starters to share between two of us for lunch and they were all delicious. The Cullen Skink was a particular highlight. Truffle on the open ravioli was also spot on. The dog received plenty of attention too.

El mejor sitio donde comimos en Edimburgo, aunque las cantidades no sin muy abundantes y el precio es algo alto, pero volvería sin duda.

Good restaurant in a great location. The service is the best. We ordered 5 main, turkey and seafood were not impressive, but the steak, venison, and duck were excellent.

I won't lie, I went in because of the pub name (it has an interesting historical background) but the food was absolutely first class. Bangers and mash were on point and the servers were absolutely fantastic. The prices were good, too. 10/10 recomendation.

The selection of whisky is great and the food was alright but felt it was way overpriced for the quality we received. We were also charged £8 twice for one portion of the haggis bon bons (apparently this is some kind of a service charge, ridiculous we had to pay double for one small dish) Seems like a tourist trap to be honest and I don't think we will be back. There are so many better bars with more reasonable prices and better service.

We was on a short trip in Edinburgh and this place was the best to breakfast! So tasty and handmade food and drink.
