The Queens Arms in Edinburgh, City of

Friggin best Sunday Roast. Potatoes had the perfect crisp. The beef was perfectly cooked with a sear. And Yorkshire pudding that’s better than House of Prime Rib.

Fantastic food and beautiful interior

So pleased we chose to eat here. A lovely pub with friendly staff and the burger was to die for! Would definitely eat there again.

Absolutely great little find! Staff were so friendly and helpful - even happy to let us sit undisturbed for a fair while before we decided to order. The Queens burger was prob the best burger I have had in a very long time. When we come back to Edinburgh, we shall certainly be coming for another meal.

Had a sharing board Sunday roast. I found it an amazing deal - £45 with also sharing dessert. Good service, maybe a bit slow in clearing the table after we had the roast but overall everything was great. I’d go back

Fun pub to have a drink. I would go again.

Both the food, and service, were fabulous. We arrived at least half an hour before our booking at 4pm….but Abbey kindly seated us early and could not have been more personable and friendly. Thank you Abbey for your kindness during our lunch....and to the kitchen colleagues for the delicious food. One of the highlights of our Edinburgh stay. If you want a great meal, service and atmosphere this is the pub to find it in

My wife and I went there on a sunny weekday afternoon. There are tables on the street if you like sitting out. We sat in, there's plenty of seating and very comfortable. We went twice that week and experienced excellent food, good beer and wine, and welcoming and friendly staff. Well worth a visit.

We love this pub! I always come here with my parents when they come to visit me and the food and service is always good. Love that we can bring our dogs too! Our server was Kitty L and she and all the staff were lovely.

We are 2 couples in our 30's travelling together from Denmark and we were visiting this place. Amazing food and great atmosphere. We would deffinately recommend The Queens Arms to others! 😃

One of the good friendly addresses in Edinburgh. Mythic Irish pub, with great atmosphere and decoration. Used by locals and tourists. I highly recommend to book for a dinner during the weekend

Absolutely perfect pint of Guiness! Thanks Aaron

Super bar in the centre of the beautiful new town in picturesque edimburgh . An absolute must visit for anyone going to the city or for locals alike.

Enjoyed our lunch. However I did not expect it to be a working lunch! Three guys on computers chatting, completing orders for drinks etc all Queens Arms staff. I now know too much 🤐. Just a suggestion if you are all going to work within the pub sit together away from customers. We have retired and hate work chat we did that for 50+ years 🍻

A full pub but just away from the bigger crowds of George Street and Rose Street. Great place to go to relax with friends and have a meal. Recommended but don't all come so I can enjoy it some more

Dog friendly, amazing place with amazing waiters, the food was delicious, nothing to add ☺️

Very quaint with an excellent atmosphere, and amazing Sunday Roast! A kids menu is available for the little ones!

1000% Reccomend! The staff are top tier, the food is excellent, and the atmosphere is quintessential hospitality. I was traveling solo, and booked ahead to celebrate myself for my birthday, and the warm welcome I received was the best. Thank you all!!!! I can't wait to come back.

Pub right next to my stay, on the last day I decided to go to dinner and have some beers and everything was excellent, the food was very good and the staff was exquisite... if I come back I will repeat

Great pub, food service and vibe!

We found this gem of a pub in Edingburgh, the best of a few we'd visited whilst on our mini holiday here. All staff were friendly especially Mark who was super accommodating.

Had a fantastic meal here! 2 adults and 2 kids aged 3 and 6. The kids menu was great and portion sizes were perfect. The food was delicious. We haven’t been to this pub in almost 10 years and were so excited to be back. The whole atmosphere has remained consistent. It’s a great spot for a meal or quick drink anytime you are in the area! It can be busy though so booking in advance is recommended.

This is the place for a perfect Sunday roast! Absolutely the best Yorkshire pudding--light and crispy with lashings of deep brown gravy--so so very good, and meat cooked to perfection 👌🏼 The staff are welcoming and efficient. Too full for pudding, but saw a few pass my table and they looked scrumptious 😋

Very nice venue as always. Wonderful part of town and a beautiful old basement bar. Professional staff and a good menu.

My partner and I came in for a quick drink and bite to eat. We were quickly seated, and our server Kitty was exceptionally attentive and friendly. The food and drink came quickly and was delicious. Will be back with bells on! Allez le queens!

Cute staff, great food, good whiskey list!!

One of the best pubs in edinburgh. Great food and atmosphere. Will be back here every time we visit edinburgh

Consistently a great place to visit, if your in Edinburgh then this is a must do. The food, the drink, the team behind the bar are always amazing.

We had the fish&chips and a couple of Joker beer. Everything was perfect! The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food was delicious, generous sizes and came very quickly. Great atmosphere!

Visited a number of times over a rugby weekend and found this place to be a really warm and welcoming one. Plenty of booths and tables to eat it, good food and drinks all round, even had a Sunday night quiz, which we won. Will definitely return!

Disappointed with food menu after checking it out before visiting. Left without buying anything.

My suggestion is go to Queens Arms for really good pub food, good mixed cocktails and a warm and homey environment. The Chicken Pie is flavorful and whomever made the drinks did a great job. A really good Negroni. The chips were cooked perfectly a slight crisp on the outside and tender on the inside. 20-30 per person.

The best fish and chips I’ve had so far in Edinburgh:) and great soups of the day. I really enjoyed the staff and the atmosphere

Always a great go to place, fab atmosphere, food & staff 👍🏻

Really nice, authentic bar with music and sports. You have to try the Sunday roast, it was the best.

So glad we booked! Food was immense! Staff very friendly. Very nice ambiance! Will definitely be back! Thank you so much x

We went on a busy Saturday evening, luckily we had reservations. Our first meal in town and oh so good. I had queens pie, it was chicken this evening, excellent flavor. Fish and chips was a hit as well. And the steak and chips also delicious. We also had chicken skewer app plus onion rings. All good was excellent. Great whiskey selection and beer selection. I think something for everyone. For a busy night, excellent service.

They were great. We loved it. Food and service excellent.

The place is great. I recommend the meat with potatoes and onions.

Friendly but quiet mid afternoon

Always good place for a nice friendly lunch

Only in for drinks. Good service and nice ambience.

Amazing traditional pub with great food!

Lovely Sunday roast with perfectly cooked beef! Been many times and can't wait to be back. Vegan roast also highly rated.

Everything about this roast was outstanding. Highly recommend.

Had the sharing roast it was nice but not spectacular as everyone goes on about. We did like we could have it well done. But not that we were charged for extra gravy. Had it not been for the offer I'd have said it was a bit over priced still.

The team were brilliant and friendly. The decor and atmosphere was perfect. Exactly what we were looking for in our Sunday roast vibe. The food was fab too, gravy was amazing. We got the sharing roast. And bloody Mary’s.

We came in twice just for drinks, lovely pub. The first visit they were in the middle of a power cut but it was still lovely. Second time was very busy Wednesday night and there was a great atmosphere.

Suxh a pleasant time, just came for a drink and a snack. Staff were so lovely and attentive and the food was gorgeous highly recommend

Omg! The fish and chips were delicious.... and the rest of my party thoroughly enjoyed the sharing roast platter. The brownie with the raspberry and aniseed (?) sorbet AND the banana blondie was outstanding! Book ahead as this place is understandably sought after! Oops, forgot to mention the mac n cheese....yummmm! And of course, the staff were warm, welcoming, accommodating and hospitable! 💯

That is simply the best Sunday Roast I’ve ever tried! This was highly recommended by a couple I met at another pub and it was totally worth it! Also the staff is really friendly and welcoming, and the whole ambiance with the tiles, dimmed lights and book shelves gives this really cozy feeling!

Good Sunday roast for two for 45 pounds including the dessert. Very nice vibe, local. I thought the portion was a bit small. Reservation needed.

Ottimo Sunday roast e bellissima atmosfera, davvero caratteristica e tipicamente scozzese: ci tornerei volentieri!

Had steak and chips and pie of the day which was chicken. The only pastry in the pie was the top layer, the rest underneath was just the chicken filling. Felt more like a chicken soup with bread on top. Food tasted good but nothing amazing. Make sure you book ahead, it’s popular and gets booked up quickly. The rugby was on, so we also watched that and the atmosphere was nice. Kitty, our server, was great!

Exceeded expectations! We made reservations for the Sunday roast dinner. I accidentally made the reservations for the wrong day, but the staff was overwhelmingly accommodating! They sat us shortly, although busy, and my husband and I were able to enjoy Trivia date night with a DELICIOUS Sunday roast dinner. I am a travel agent and will highly recommend to all clients traveling to Edinburgh.

Simply awesome.... has the most comfy pub vibe filled with Scottish charm, great food and cocktails ... will visit everytime we are in Edinburgh

Booked only two hours before the rugby snd got a view a of the screen. However, the staff went above and beyond to cater for my disabled partner. Both Ali and and Ali would check in with us and sorted us a table post match. It made my partner feel very included and special. The service charge and more was well deserved

Shown to our table by Marc who was very friendly and explained all of the specials to us.The atmosphere was very chilled and made us feel relaxed. Tori took our food order and again was very friendly. The food was amazing so hot and delicious and would definitely recommend to family and friends and a must for our next trip to Edinburgh.

Food was good and service very attentive. We were there on a Monday afternoon but choice so it was quiet as expected. No complaints

Great place. Excellent food and service by friendly staff. Best to book though as gets very busy, especially if a sports event on. Highly recommended.

Loved everything about this pub

We were at the pub today before heading to the airport as we wanted to have some typical Scottish meals. Although the place was pretty packed and we were not able to sit at the dining area we still got a spot in the bar area (we didn't have any reservation). The staff was super welcoming and helpful , the fish and chips, one of the best I ever had and we also enjoyed two specials for Burns Night (and I'm not a fan of Huggies) and the service was efficient. Thanks again for such a great experience before leaving Edinburg, we will definitely visit back and recommend this place in the future.

Food was really nice but service was a bit slow.

Choose this place because of google reviews and didn’t disappoint. Very cosy atmosphere inside which i wasn’t expecting. Love the walls full of book shelves. The bar staff were all very nice as well. Very nice melody music of 80s but. Ot that loyd so you can enjoy the friend’s company and talk easily. Nice seating area. Food and drinks were good too.

We all enjoyed eating together.

Nice underground pub, very traditional. We didn’t eat, but had a few drinks. The Edinburgh nitro stout was nice. They have quite a number of whiskies, and the menu gives details of the expected flavour of each (in my opinion not to be relied upon). It was a little expensive and servings are slightly less than 25ml due to the way the whiskey was poured. The ambiance is very nice.

Good place for having Scottish drink!

Full marks - well done. Thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon. Many Thanks. Craig and Gill.

Tonight I had an amazing time in the Queens Arms. As a pub it is very rare to be given the opportunity to enjoy good music and good company at the same time. Switch off your phones and enjoy the relaxed and comfortable environment. For anyone visiting Edinburgh grab the opportunity to eat fantastic food and absorb a piece of Scottish History. Highly recomended for the way a pub should be in such a restricted environment for music in general in Edinburgh. A special mention to Autumn who is an asset to your company a lovely educated lass. As an Edinburgh rugby fan the place to be not just not for rugby but sport in general. Long live the Queen . My sincere gratitude and thanks for such a special place.

Great atmosphere - good prices and food menu - centrally located - staff friendly

We had a perfect lunch and drinks at this cosy place. Everything was great, the staff were also friendly and welcoming.

Super crowded when we popped in, but they had first come first serve tables without a booking so we were lucky to grab a table. Food was delicious, had the Queens pie and loaded chips! Cocktails were class!

Lovely place for drinks and food

The Queen's Arms was fantastic for our group of 4. It's a good idea to get reservations as it always seems to be busy. We sat in a church-box-like little "room" with its own half door. Our waiter staff was fantastic, friendly, and informed. We had the onion rings and loaded fries as appetizers, and they were both absolutely fantastic. The loaded fries are loaded with, among other things, barbecue beef or pork. It was delicious! For our main, we had the hamburger, the fish and chips, and the Mac cheese. The fish and chips were quite a large piece of very well prepared, Haddock. All were phenomenal, and I'd recommend any of them and would definitely recommend the Queen's Arms.

A bit of a long wait, but I recommend it. It is eaten well and not messy. The place is also very nice and well furnished. Clean tables.

We both had the steak from the very limited menu. It would have been better described as onion rings with a slice of steak. Then ejected from our table very promptly after the alotted time.

We came here for a birthday meal for two of our group. We pre-ordered the food over a month beforehand. We were a large group of 9. We waited until almost an hour and fifteen minutes for our mains. And at least 25 minutes between finishing each course for the next to come out. It just so slow. The waitress also made comments about needing the table at a certain time and we bit our tongues to say we would have left by now had things come out at appropriate times. Got charged a ridiculously high service fee for mediocre service and average food. It was New Year’s Day so giving benefit of the doubt but honestly you’re better off finding somewhere else to eat if you want a good meal. Haggis was good, steak was good but small, mac and cheese tasted like crayons, desserts were below average (dry and not flavoursome). Wouldn’t return

Amazing food, service and atmosphere! Super dog friendly without being doggy! Not a free table in house yet service was fast. I’m partial to a weekly (or two) pub burger and this was by far one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. 10/10 would recommend but book to save disappointment. Thanks guys, we’ll be back :)

Lovely venue, really rude staff who seemed like they did not want to be there. Would like a contact email for someone I can speak to re this please.

The food was great, the Atmosphere was fun & inviting and the staff were very helpful & accommodating !

We came here as it was recommended on TripAdvisor and it did not disappoint at all. We had the Sunday Sharing Lunch and the beef was cooked to absolute perfection. It also had a really nice atmosphere and ambience inside the pub as well. It was well worth a visit and we shall definitely come back here at somepoint. Thank you to everybody as the service was brilliant.

All very good! Spectacular burger!! We left very satisfied with both the service and the food.

One of the most coziest pub in Edinburgh, we had just 2 drinks, but really want to end the day in there

Nice pub in the center of Edinburgh. Exquisite cuisine, good atmosphere, friendly staff. I recommend the fries and garlic bread. Variety of beers. A place to rest and enjoy the Scottish atmosphere. It's not very expensive, reasonable prices.

We tried Sunday Roast while we visited Edinburgh by the Google review and it was great. Beef was fantastic. I strongly suggest to book the table.

During our Christmas trip to Edinburgh, my husband and I made reservations for a date night away from our family and the Queens Arms did not disappoint! Marta, our server, was so sweet and answered all of our crazy questions regarding the menu and the ambiance was so charming and cozy… just perfect for our date night out. The food was delicious and of course, the beverages were on point! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!

We had a lovely dinner. Marta, our server, was fantastic and answered all our questions, guided us through ordering and was the reason our experience was so great. Fun and delicious place to be.

Poor service. Worth going to for that experience

I arrive at 13.35 for a lunch for two. Place Is semi full, I approach a lady to ask for availability. "Mmm we are quite full but let me check".. She comes back a couple of minutes later with a smile "I have room at 15.45" pause and another, different smile "which is about two hours from now". Now, there are only two options. The server had forgotten her medicine and was delirious. Or she was the boss, the joint is doing great and definitely did not need that extra customer, so why not have some fun? In any case, I have been doing the same job for 18 years in a much more crowded city, yet new and intriguing experience for me.

Great pub, staff were absolutely fantastic, good selection of drinks and good seats for watching the sports!

Had booked a table for 4 people. A lovely quirky pub restaurant we had pie of the day which was chicken and leek for 3 of us and fish n chips. It was tasty and all clear plates from all 4 people so we all enjoyed it. We had booked via open table app received e mail confirmation and text message day before and on the day as reminders as we had travelled from Newcastle for the day. Loved the booth with the swing door which we were sat at. Great service from staff all pleasant a nd friendly and popped back to check if further drinks required. Nice to see service with a smile as some hospitality venu es seem to have lost this. Thank you we had a lovely meal and will visit again on our next visit to Edinburgh.

No host on the door to check on booking (which I did in advance), my table was not ready, I’ve been overcharged for £20 for drinks which I never ordered and I supposed to have 20% discount on the whole bill as that place has a partnership with my workplace. But I’ve got just -£2.50. I’m very disappointed with this place. From food I’ve tried mac and cheese and hand cut chips which I can recommend.

Great old fashioned pub in the city centre. Food is good, you may need to book. Cosy neuks and welcoming atmosphere

Friendly team. Food ok. V busy

Wonderful sharing roast.. all included with no extra cost for cauliflower cheese unlike most. Lovely medium rare beef and super tasty. However you do get charged for extra gravy, however well worth the extra £2 Also Yorkshires well worth the extra £1 each! Everything cooked homemade. One of best roasts you can get in a pub.

Very cozy, warm. Great welcome and impeccable service, all the teams are truly impeccable. We recommend and will come back on our next road trip.

Best spot for drinks and food in Edinburgh, caused by the Ambiente, and food. When i'm in edinburgh, i'm at the Queens Arms for sure.

Historic Edinburgh pub, food was excellent and atmosphere was cracking

Based on the reviews and photos, this was one of the first pubs we tried in Edinburgh. It did not disappoint. We loved the cozy atmosphere and book-lined walls. The bar staff were all very nice as well. We enjoyed the fun 80s British pop playing in the background. We recently saw it was picked as one of the “cozies” pubs in the city and thought that recognition was spot on.

We went to this pub to watch an international rugby match, the atmosphere was great! The waitresses made us feel at ease straight away and looked after us throughout the dinner in a very kind manner. The food is really good, the beer fantastic! Advised!
