Aunque esto parece un bar común en la superficie, la comida es algo realmente especial. Tomé una margarita picante y tacos de cerdo que estaban llenos de hierbas frescas y grandes especias. También tenía buena relación calidad-precio. Mi recomendación sería insistir en sentarse en la fabulosa sala de tigres en la parte posterior (completa con un enorme tigre mimoso en la barra). Es aún más divertido y cómodo que el resto del bar, que ya es divertido y peculiar.

Spent a great day yesterday (Saturday 15 March) watching the rugby in the Safari Lounge. The atmosphere is lovely and it's a very welcoming pub. The staff are very Friendly, Polite, Courteous and Professional. The food menu is really good plenty of options for all., but I highly recommend the Fish and Wedges it's delicious. Thank you Simon and your team, I had a great time and a great seat to watch the Rugby. Amanda

Food was beautiful, it only gets 4 star due to value for money, had the Sunday dinner which was lovely but didn't feel you got much for the price of it. Would go back but wouldn't get the Sunday lunch again, purely on price.

Stopped for a mid-week glass of wine and a bite. Fish and chips were divine, honestly never had such tastey chips, and a poke bowl with mushrooms (which could have been better with salmon). But a great place, do give it a try

Fuimos a probar el fish and chips pero acabamos probando más platos de la carta ya que tenían muy buena pinta. El local no es muy grande pero tiene un salón al fondo ideal para almorzar o cenar. Pedimos un par de tacos, muy buenos y con sabor, los recomiendo, sobre todo el taco de pollo barbacoa koreano. Del fish and chips…esperaba más, las patatas eran horneadas, no eran fritas, lo que hace que no sea un típico fish and chips, aunque de sabor estaba bueno. El servicio muy bien, amables y simpáticos, el precio en la media de Edimburgo.

Ordered food to be delivered at Bellfield on pub quiz day, as it's always been possible, and as Safari's website allows you to do - no indication this was no longer an option. After being charged, waiting for over an hour, and half an hour past the estimated delivery time, phoned them to be told they no longer deliver to Bellfield but the order went through, so if we wanted the food, we'd have to go collect it - which meant leaving the pub quiz to get the food. Option to cancel order and get a refund was never offered. Girl serving was very apologetic and bonus tequila was offered, but.... =/

I was served a drink but every table was reserved for the quiz and when I found an empty table without a reserved sticker I was told it was reserved. Got told could sit at the bar where everyone coming in would be on top of me. If they don't want passing custom then they should say. I have been there plenty of times but won't be coming back.

This was an appalling experience. We had high hopes for this place as it had featured on square meal as a good GF restaurant. Our table was in the lounge part in the back. It was quirky and quiet but that meant we didn't see the waitress much. My main meal, fish tacos, smelled odd in a very bad way. And tasted even worse. And I was extremely ill afterwards. The side dish was aubergine tempura which was basically tiny bits of aubergine coated in some sort of batter and deep fried. My daughter's mushroom tacos wasn't much better. The wedges were the only thing that were nice. No one check on us to see if everything was okay with our meal or else I would have said something. As I was with my teenage daughter she was too much in a panic at me complaining. When I paid I did mention it to the waitress about how it tasted so very oddly but she brushed it off as a change of menu and was more concerned that I wasn't leaving a service tip. I did have all the symptoms of food poisoning later that night. A report to Edinburgh's food hygiene department will be going in as soon as I have recovered from this nasty visit there.

I would like to start by saying that I've worked in the food/service industry for ten years and I like to eat out a lot. And this place is genuinely one of the all around great places to eat or drink in Edinburgh. The food and menu is quite different from anywhere else with just great flavour combinations. The food was cooked perfect. Simple additions like pickled veg on the side salad, really nice. I appreciate any drinks menu that serves a bloody mary and a Mezcal margarita, because you're covered whether you walk in at lunch or dinner. Strikes me as a place with a strong team and that you're well taken care of. I don't write reviews, this is my first. I just felt they deserved the praise and more people should be talking about safari lounge.

The food in Cafe Grande is absolutely lovely! A huge issue was had that I have an extreme allergy to eggs and carry an EpiPen. This was made aware when ordering the fish and chips. The food came with tar tar sauce which had touched the fish. The waiter/bartender tried to argue to say there was no egg in tar tar sauce which he was incorrect about. He then proceeded to take it away and return 2 minutes later with the same fish which still had tar tar sauce on it pretending it was a fresh dish. Extremely worrying for people like myself with severe allergies. The whole experience was recovered by the lovely food and the waitresses who were working - all were so lovely, accommodating and great!! A massive thank you to them!

We spent five days at the Caledonian and we were sorry to leave. The service and customer friendliness was Superb. Erin Miller at the front desk was particularly helpful with our getting situated there; she is a very kind person. Amy Ried was very knowledgeable and helpful as well. The concierge staff was terrific - Massie and Stewart were able to guide us in settling in and discovering the best of Edinburgh; Stewart was great to talk with about a variety of topics. The hotel is gorgeous with a dining area that makes the hotel guest feel like part of the royal family. It is located just under the famous Edinburgh Castle. Most museums, restaurants and parks are within a 15 to 20 minute walk. Allow me to recommend the Pathology Museum at Surgeons Hall.
