Rebecca she was so kind to share her name at the end of the service.(She shared her name when I decided to make a review.) We were well aware of time to leave and thanks for her keep reminding me that they have to prepare from fresh the desert. I was planning to order only sorbet (I believe minimum prep time) but she just stand on top of our table and felt pressure to decide. I’ve been multiple times in this place mostly with satisfaction. But this time 9th May we couldn’t enjoy our family lunch only due to the attitude. Hope that will change

Came for dinner - enjoyed my cod starter but the main (salt beef) was very salty (served with a broth containing pearl barley) and didn't taste of much else besides salt. The caramelised brown sugar tart for dessert was amazing and the highlight of the meal. Service was friendly but a bit slow.

Great place. Professional but unfussy service - could not be more helpful. Brilliant drinks menu - loved the choice of aperitifs! Food was delicious - set lunch was great value for modern but satisfying seasonal food. Went again for dinner during our stay in Edinburgh and had the pie to share - best pie ever - pastry sublime and shin beef in red wine filling delicious

Very beautiful setting in which we had lunch. The lunch formula is accessible (starter/main course/dessert for less than £30) but the portions are clearly reduced compared to the other guests at the table who ordered à la carte. This may justify the price but the portion could have been slightly larger.

Top quality ingredients, smiling and attentive staff, refined but informal environment: a place not to be missed if you want to taste the best of Scottish cuisine in a contemporary version, added to the fresh bread baked continuously in house. Truly superb, the best dining experience in Edinburgh as far as we're concerned. It's not cheap but neither is the city of Edinburgh in general and it deserves it for the quality and cuisine (at lunch they also offer a £23 menu)

It’s hardly surprising this is such a popular venue with the menu including a wide selection of locally brewed craft beers from Newbarns. Allow at least 90 minutes for the 3 course set lunch.

I had high hopes for this place as the daily menus and high quality ingredients really drew me in. However I have to say I was disappointed. The food was fine, a little on the salty side for me. The service was ok but not what I expected to be coupled with such a high end menu. Twice a server reached over the top of my head whilst I was eating to either place or pick something up from our table without warning which was very disconcerting. I just feel like it was overpriced for the experience.

The location was great, the food was good/okay We had food at the bar, and the bar waitress was... for lack of a different word... "efficient" She wanted us out of the place again as fast as possible. It really doesn't take a lot to be a BIT more hospitable, genuinely hospitable, and that would have made all the difference, but unfortunately that made the experience less than mediocre...

We had a fantastic experience here. The service was first class - attentive and professional without being fussy or hovering. The food was absolutely superb from starter to dessert - fresh, full of flavour with good portions. It was great to see choices that we wouldn't cook at home, such as Jerusalem artichokes and lamb offal - all cooked to perfection. Drinks, particularly cocktails were imaginative and delicious. I wasn't a fan of the long wine list and particularly the only measures offered as 125ml and bottle. A polite request for a more user friendly list, maybe with some 175ml or sharing carafes would be perfect...? Eating at The Palmerston was easily a highlight of our Edinburgh visit and we loved it here. I'd be back anytime, this place is special.

Surly wait staff? Check. Tattooed disinterested baristas? Check. Team-members immersed in their personal emails and focussed solely on one other? Check. The Palmerston embodies the too-cool-for-school ethos of the modern British coffee house. The team makes you feel like they’re doing you a favour by making you a latte. Yes, they serve great coffee and pastries - but there is a pervasive joylessness about the whole enterprise.

I recently dined at your restaurant and wanted to share some feedback about our experience. The food was truly delightful; the ragu made for a lovely starter, and the lamb was very enjoyable. However, we found some aspects of the service lacking, particularly when our waitress was unable to explain the dish thoroughly. Additionally, the atmosphere seemed off from the moment we arrived. We were unsure whom to speak to upon entering, and once seated, the lighting felt too bright, lacking warmth. Moreover, the open windows made the dining area uncomfortably cold until we requested they be closed. While these elements detracted from our experience, I believe small adjustments could significantly enhance the overall ambiance and service. Despite these points, I appreciate the quality of your food and hope my feedback is helpful.

Fantástica comida en The Palmerston. Ubicado en un precioso edificio, anteriormente un banco, pero muy relajado y un agradable ambiente mojado. La comida era muy buena. Brandade entrante era excelente - buena cantidad de pescado en escamas en una mezcla de patata cremosa suave de terciopelo. El pastel de venado y vino tinto para 2 estaba delicioso (aunque solo una tapa de pastelería, por lo que algunos podrían consultar pastel) , y el chocolate y Guinness Sponge Pudding terminó la comida perfectamente. Muy bonita botella de tinto chileno para acompañar. Una de las mejores comidas que he tenido en Edimburgo.

El almuerzo fijado en £ 24 por persona era desafortunadamente abrumador. El camarero era bastante poco comunicativo, ciertamente no efusivo o acogedor. Nadie vino a comprobar cómo estábamos. El entrante era mínimo, pero bien, huevo cocido y apio. Principal, la pasta en ragu era bastante pequeña, cena escolar y muy salada. Se lo dijimos al camarero, dijo que se lo diría al chef pero no alteró la factura. Postre, un poco de merengue, satsuma y salsa de chocolate y muy básico. En general, no hay gran valor. Al hacer la reserva me preguntaron si había una ocasión especial y cumpleaños marcados. Ninguna referencia a esto durante el almuerzo, ni una vela, ni una bebida gratis, ni una mención. Al final pedí que se eliminara el cargo por servicio. Me las arreglé para pedir disculpas a medias. Huelga decir que no volveremos ya que todo fue un poco de mala calidad.

Absolutely love the palmerston. The vibe is spot on and the menu is always perfectly curated. Wherever we have been he have sat at the bar which I really love. When we went last time we had a 50minute wait between starters and mains and I was away to give them a gentle nudge but they beat me to it and said our order got lost. These things happen and you can really tell how good a restaurant is when they respond to these situations and they were so kind. The food was worth waiting for and they insisted that desserts and cheese for afters would be on the house. Top class. Can’t wait to go back.

If I were to describe my experience at The Palmerston in two words it would be: incredibly underwhelming Where to start, I heard fantastic reviews about this place from the internet and from food critics around Edinburgh. The word on the street was this was Edinburgh’s chefs favorite restaurant. I was incredibly excited to try the food here during my 2 week trip to the UK. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. Now I don’t want to be too hard on them, the cocktails and appetizers were very good but it’s the entrees that fall completely short. I ordered the Kid Crépinettes with mash and cabbage and my partner ordered the Roasted Pork Shoulder with celeriac and bitter lettuce. The Kid Crépinette was probably the most disappointing due to it being very bland and gristly. Traditionally they are coated with melted butter and then tossed in breadcrumbs before sautéing or grilling. This felt like it was maybe formed and just put into the oven for 10 minutes. No hint of truffle or any significant flavor. As for the roasted pork shoulder, you would have thought it was a grilled pork loin with how tough and flavorless it was. Usually roasted pork shoulder means fall apart tenderness and flavor but this was tough. The only redeeming factor about the meal was the appetizers, cocktails and the wonderful service who did not charge us for the poorly made dishes. This all being said I would consider giving the Palmerston a second chance if I was in Edinburgh again in the future but I couldn’t help leave my thoughts on a dining experience I was very much looking forward to.

Booked the Palmerston after seeing good things on social media but with the daily changing menu it was hard to know what to expect, we were roughly aware of the style of the food however it seemed way too expensive for what it was, the food was nice but it cost a total of £90 for what we had in the photo and was not worth it overall. Staff were nice but not overly attentive and it seemed very laidback for a higher end restaurant. Tables were very close together and was a bit disappointed with the feel of the place. So overall the food was nice but not worth the money as there are better restaurants in Edinburgh that are similar style to the Palmerston.

I really enjoy the food at Palmerston, and that is exactly why I’m writing this not so pleasant review. I’ve been to the place 5 times now, and the food is always top tier. However, the service is just so bad every time. It’s incredibly slow and it takes around 20 to 30 minutes for a waiter to realise you finished a meal and bring to a desert menu/a bill. And that happens even after asking them to do so multiple times. It’s very unfortunate because whenever I feel like having dinner there I have to be prepared to deal with the service. It’s such a shame and I really wish that this wasn’t the case…

Brilliant wine list although it is pretty pricy! We got a great bottle but it was 4x retail price! Understand the challenges of running a restaurant these days but this seems excessive.

We had a great time at the Palmerston. The atmosphere and service make it a wonderful experience. We got the pumpkin soup, pork shoulder, halibut, and the apple bun dessert, all of which we would highly recommend.

We love this place and go frequently. Some of the best pastries in Edinburgh, and friendly service.

Este es uno de nuestros lugares favoritos para comer fuera en Edimburgo. El servicio siempre es genial, y la comida es increíble. Vemos al mismo personal una y otra vez, lo que significa que se les retiene. Nunca nos han decepcionado y la calidad de la comida es excepcional. Las porciones están bien. Leer algunas de las críticas negativas en este restaurante me impulsó a enviar esto, ya que se siente como si hubiera poca apreciación de los productos de alta calidad cocinados increíblemente bien.

We’re confused… we heard great things about this place but it was remarkably average in every way. Did we order the wrong thing? Was it an off night? Food was pub quality at best, service was quite poor, and ambience was practically non existent.

Great meal here - produce is fantastic. Liked the relaxed service, and a very good wine list as well.

Prachtige eetzaal met bijzonder mooi plafond. Heel aardige bediening en prijs-kwaliteitverhouding prima. Voor culinaire hoogstandjes zal je ergens anders meer moeten aftikken.

Thank you so much! As a family, we had a wonderful evening with you! Delicious food, super friendly service, and sports on screens everywhere—what more could you want? Now it’s time for the Nottingham Forest game—we’re keeping our fingers crossed!

The Iralian Roadtrip...just glorious! Every course was a masterclass in innovation and flavour. Memorable.

Visiting Edinburgh from the states. Our first night was dinner here. Very good food. Excellent service. Cozy, Italian “homey” charm. I had a great conversation with Meemoo, the owner, who loves Edinburgh and clearly loves his establishment and customers. Thank you!
