Bar y restaurante de 5 estrellas. Estuvimos aquí la mayor parte de la noche. Personal amable y encantador con grandes bromas. Estábamos sentados en el bar y pedimos algo de comida más tarde y fue increíble! Muy sabroso.

Firstly, this is a pub.....a very nice pub. Service is very good and the place has a cosy atmosphere, but the choice of beers other than those perceived as mainstream, are now less than this bar stocked in the past. Great food ! Unfortunately though, the prices are a tad extreme - examples being... £8 per portion of olives/£12 minimum starter/£21 minimum (non veggie) main/cheapest wine £10 large glass/Cheapest cocktail (containing alc) £12. The two mains we received were very fashionably Small !! Delusions of grandeur re the pricing ? Most people if eating there will go once, but many wont return due to cost/value. It is a pub after all (did I mention that ? ;¬) )

Great atmosphere and service, small ish menu but nice choices and starters and mains were all very good. A mini negative for lemon tart as it needs something to balance as dessert (meringe and tart) too sweet but good otherwise. Sticky toffee pudding and custard was below average. But rest meal was very good and well balanced across 6 different dishes across group. Would recommend. And it's pet friendly which is always a plus.

Had a lovely meal here on a Saturday evening and everything was lovely. We had 4 courses, a bottle of wine to share and a cocktail each and all totalled less than a hundred quid. The food was absolutely gorgeous. We had hummus, carrot tartine, risotto, chicken Kiev among other things. Everything was of a really good restaurant standard and certainly not bar food if you know what I mean. The wine was not heavily marked up supermarket plonk and more akin to something you'd find through a wine club. Really good. The chap who was our main waiter was great. On point, friendly and good fun and attentive. The other couple who brought some of the food and the wine were lovely too. The atmosphere was nice and relaxed. People eating, some having cocktails. Some just having a beer. Just what you want. We had an itison voucher which was good value so check that out online.

Arrived on Saturday afternoon asked for a table for drinks and was offered a table in the back of the restaurant. Ordered 2 bottles of wine (£36 each) between 4 people over two hours. As we were drinking our last glass of wine we were told we had to leave in the next 5 minutes as the place was busy and they needed to continue to turn the tables. We were not warned of this and we were made to feel we were not spending enough money. Enquired if the table was booked and was told it was not but other people were waiting. Very confused and disappointed.

We stumbled into this restaurant completely drenched by rain and were lucky enough to still get an incredible dinner (even though the kitchen was nearly closing). The food is seasonal, regional and most importantly delicious and the cocktails were original yet classic (and also delicious). The staff was incredibly friendly! We felt so welcome and left with a significantly better mood than we arrived.

My husband and I were here last night, the food was lovely, we had as a starter the crispy poched egg with black pudding and asparagus, was cooked just right, the yoke was still gooie an warm inside. I then had the lamb with lamb sweetbreads (lamb tentacles for those who don't know) wasn't my cup of tea, but at least I tried it but the Lamb was gorgeous just not enough could have eaten more.. then the desert I had the seasonal crumble ( which was pear and apple) very warming and just the right ratio of sugar to cinnamon 😋 and last but not least we had a great waiter called Stewart thank you for your service. Highly recommended dining here 👌

Especially the ‘pigs in blankets’ which is actually beautifully seasoned pulled pork in a wee circle with bacon around it and a spot of delicious chutney on the top. Absolutely delicious!! The waiter said they’re coming off the menu soon…. No!!! Call them something else and leave them on please! The decor is lovely and the staff are always super friendly. One day we’ll try dinner!

I booked for NYE and wasn't aware there was a specific NYE menu outside of the seasonal one online. The 75pp cost was a suprise but one we accepted as part of the NYE experience. Despite this the food and service was not up to the standard of the price charged. On 3 separate occasions we got the wrong food served, the staff delivered our meals before we had finished our last course making us feel rushed. And the food itself particularly dessert was unimpressive. This was disappointing as I've previously come to this place when visiting Edinburgh and had a great meal and experience hence booking for NYE. The place itself is beautiful.

I went to this place with my wife without a reservation and asked for a table for food at the entrance. We were offered a place at the bar where ordered some drinks while waiting for the table. After 30 minutes we saw an empty table for two and asked the staff if it was free but they said it was only for drinks and the chef was not taking any walk-in people for dinner. Also the same person told me that I've asked for a table and not specified we also wanted to eat, and the person who received us might have not understood or clarified. I asked if they could fix the misunderstanding by letting us sit anyway and eat, considering it was already 19:30 hs but they rejected the request even after being very clear about how frustrated I felt by their response. We left the place without any type of compensation besides a verbal apology. I am really disappointed with how I was treated as a customer and I only assign this behavior to this particular place, since I had an outstanding experience as a tourist in Scotland and this is the exception, not the rule. Also worth noting that the barman who provided our drinks at the bar was very nice and welcoming.

When it comes to cocktails, The Voyage of Buck offers vibrant and diverse drinks that are sure to satisfy even the most discerning palate. The cocktail menu here takes you on a tour across five major cities that were very poignant in the life of William ‘Buck’ Clarence, philanthropist, polo player and travel companion of Prince Albert Victor, the infamous grandson of Queen Victoria. ‘Buck’ returned to Edinburgh Scotland in 1900 and lived in the house that is now the Voyage of Buck until 1935. Travel around the globe with cocktails from Venice, such as the Chocolate Orange Espresso Martini, the Black Opium Negroni from Shanghai or the Sumac Paloma from Istanbul. Maybe a wee trip to Monte Carlo is what you fancy with Bugatti Highball. For our drinks we stayed local with a mocktail using local Talonmore; and we also hopped over to Jamaica with the Calypso Sour. All the drinks are very well balanced, not overwhelming on the alcohol and a delight to drink. Voyage of Buck’s Autumn/Winter menu is all about sharing. For me, sharing plates are more than just a dining trend; they are a communal experience that fosters connection and enjoyment. The beauty of sharing plates lies in the opportunity to sample a variety of flavours and textures, transforming the act of eating into a journey of exploration. As each dish arrived at the table, a sense of excitement filled the air, as we both reached across the table to claim our portion, with many an ‘oo’ and an ‘ah’ of delight as we savoured the offerings. The Hummus and Sourdough provided the perfect appetiser whilst we changed our minds several times over what to order. The creamy, smooth hummus paired perfectly with the tangy, chewy sourdough. We chose the Ricotta Raviolo and the Oxtail. Both dishes equally delectable. The raviolo was beautifully crafted golden pockets housing creamy cheese and sat in a pool of pumpkin veloute. The cinnamon flavour was very prevalent. As for the slow cooked oxtail, it was a melt-in-your-mouth delicacy hidden underneath a blanket of the creamiest and lightest of truffle potatoes. There's a choice of five mains dishes. Very tempted by the Beetroot Risotto it was the Chicken and the Venison that got ordered. We indulged in the succulent cooked chicken breast boasting tender, flavourful meat that paired exquisitely with crispy, golden-brown potatoes and the chicken and mushroom jus. The venison is their signature dish and no wonder. Cooked to absolute perfection - seared on the outside whilst still red in the centre. It was melt in the mouth incredible and I have to say, possibly THE BEST venison I have eaten since Kilted Lobster in Stockbridge closed! A must order dish! There’s two choices for dessert and a cheese course. House custard tart, rhubarb compote (£7) Whole St Marcillin cheese, maple roasted figs, pistachios, sourdough (£14) Buck’s affogato; vanilla pod ice cream, espresso (£6) We went for the Custard Tart and the Affogato. Although rhubarb is not in season, it is used here as a compote; and to me Autumn feels like the perfect time for rhubarb! Tart was well cooked and added the perfect sweet end to dinner. The Affogato was all it promised to be - coffee and vanilla ice-cream. The Voyage of Buck offers a cosy yet stylish ambiance and knowledgeable staff which really enhance the dining experience, ensuring your visit is a memorable one. Say goodbye to the ordinary and let your taste buds embark on a voyage of their own.

Lovey decor and staff were the first things noticed. The menu still seemed summery which was good as summer does seem to be dragging out (good thing also) and it was a bright and warm day sat by the window. The food was good (not sure about the fries, maybe just too crunchy after eating other dry ish food - the Arancini balls) and the drinks were great. I tried an espresso martini which was presented well and not too sweet. The second desert / drink was almost pure alcohol with some cream - I loved it. Will definitely be back if/when the menu changes for winter.

Not really sure what we expected but wanted to try something different. We ate on Saturday late afternoon and the place was pretty full . Ordered drinks ( our server didn’t know what drinks that they carried that are caffeine free ) so I settled for a fresh OJ and lemonade and glass of champers for the Mrs . The drinks did t come by the time the starters arrived , the girl went and fixed them for us The starters which were ok , the mains however were not as good . The lamb I had was a bit confused I felt . It’s pulled lamb with a few potatoes over the top with 2 sauces and some cucumber strips ? Tasted ok but yeah didn’t get the plate , like it’s sloppy with more slop ? The chicken was a bit tough and the joloff rice was reminiscent of an uncle Bens ! No check back on us for the mains so we paid and left . Not terrible but not great either . Decor was nice , service felt haphazard.

We arrived at 3pm to find a party of around 40-50 people celebrating a wedding. The only table available was beside the bar and underneath a speaker. Given the noise levels of 40-50 people meeting and greeting this was not a great atmosphere for a pleasant afternoon lunch. The food menu looked interesting however several of the dishes seemed like culinary experiments - burrata with water melon & honey (sounds interesting) but when it arrived there was a heavy dose of sea Salton top of a what was otherwise a lovely burrata. Other dishes were similarly odd combinations. Wine (£9.00+) was very poor quality. Food aside the noise levels from the wedding party made it almost impossible for my wife and I to speak across the table. Perhaps this could have been a relaxed venue but I don't think you can host a group of 40-50 which almost fills a bar and simultaneously have couples at other small tables. I appreciate this group were great business for the pub however they sacrificed the small tables and lost the opportunity of cultivating possible return customers. Even with a better menu this meal is one of the worst experiences I have had anywhere.

We went for dinner on Friday evening at 5:30pm and the place was packed and everyone sounded like they were having a great time. We walked in, found a member of staff and they quickly cleared a crowd from around a table to get us seated, delivered a bottle of water and glasses, poured for us and handed out the menu. She returned promptly to get our order for food and drinks. We both got cocktails ordered from a book's worth of choices. Took a bit of reading to decide. The food came soon after the drinks and was appetising and well presented. We had two courses ordered but eventually took a sweet to share between us. Dundee cake, St Andrews cheese and honey, different but it worked. By now it had quietened down a bit thank goodness. Enjoyed it.

Every bit of our lunch was delicious. My mushrooms with sourdough starter was to die for, and my daughter loved her aranchini with mint sauce (if we weren’t in public we would have licked our plates clean!) Lamb with roasted squash pieces was really tasty too as was my daughter's sea trout. Everything was so well flavoured/seasoned. All the sauces and purees were super tasty. We weren't drinking, so my daughter had a "mocktail" which was citrus-sy flavoured and delicious too- sort of comforting as well as zingy. The service was friendly and attentive without being over the top. I think we know where we will be having lunch again next time we are in central Edinburgh! It's a bit hidden away but worth seeking out.

Great cocktails and food. Staff were lovely and attentive. Daniel’s cocktails were delicious and singing even better!

Loved this place! Just happened on it as we planned on going to a different restaurant and so glad we did! Service was excellent…best we have had since we have been here…had three starters and wine. Chicken thighs were amazing and the cauliflower fritters so good!

This beautifully designed cocktail bar and restaurant has one of the most prolific cocktail lists I have ever seen! We dined as a family and we each thoroughly enjoyed our various cocktail choices. We shared small plates at the recommendation of our waiter. The staff is so helpful and kind the whole dinner. Likely the best food we had in Edinburgh. I cannot recommend this gem of a restaurant enough,

Very disappointed by this pub. The decor is fantastic but that’s the only positive from our visit. The staff were very sullen and unwelcoming, and didn’t seem to want anyone’s custom (they reluctantly gave us a table despite saying they had 2 available for 2 hours between 6pm-8pm on a Friday evening and while we were there they asked 2 other ladies for their table back even though there were multiple empty around us). The drinks weren’t much better. I ordered a 175ml glass of Viognier for £9.00 and was very disappointed that it was served at room temperature, completely ruining what should have been a good glass. I wouldn’t return but based on the staffs’ attitude I doubt they’d care.

A pleasant little bar just off the west end in Edinburgh, good for a quiet drink, food or somewhere to meet up at.

Really fantastic cocktails with interesting flavour combinations that actually taste good, not interested for the sake of being different. Amazing atmosphere too, they played all of my favourite music so it was really just the best combo

Really nice atmosphere with friendly and attentive staff let down by disappointing cocktails. My friend also ordered the chilli margarita and it was so spicy it was undrinkable for anyone at the table. Won't be going back.

They are very polite and there is quick service. I came with my family, and it was amazing. I would definitely recommend it. My daddy really enjoyed his pint of Guinness.

This is as good as pubs get. Really well-crafted cocktails and the menu puts a modern spin on traditional pub food, making it more making it more appealing to the younger crowd.

This bar was recommended to us by our Airbnb host, so we went without knowing this place serves some of the best alcoholic drinks... And we don't drink alcohol! Luckily these guys know how to make a delicious, fresh mocktail and didn't give us a hard time about it. Service was great but I especially loved the interior. The tasteful art deco features are absolutely amazingly done and it feels very cosy. Our apple/citrus drink was really really good!

How sad. I remember when this was a proper real ale pub. Won't be back.

Mediocre bar food, alright but nothing amazing. Place is quite, bit off the city centre, so if you'd like a bit of peace go there and relax.

Vlak bij ons hotel ontdekte we deze gezellige plek. Bij binnenkomst werden we direct welkom geheten en kregen we een knusse tafel in een soort nis. De cocktail en wijnkaart is uitgebreid en het eten is (als je wilt) shared dining. Het eten was heerlijk maar vooral de gastvrijheid en de relaxte sfeer viel op. De barman heeft, toen hij er even de tijd voor had, ons uitgebreid tips gegeven voor leuke dingen in Edinburgh die net even wat minder toeristisch zijn. Sorry dat ik niet meer weet hoe je heet. En super bedankt voor de tips en de ontspannen avond!

Søger du lidt mere moderne mad, men i den hyggelige pubske atmosfære, så er dette stedet. Høflig betjening. Gode øl. Og sindssygt lækker mad. Dette sted vil jeg klart besøge igen en anden gang.

My friends and I have visited Voyage of Buck a few times over the last few years . We have always enjoyed it , that’s why we’ve returned. Sadly this visit could only be described as underwhelming. The atmosphere was as always cosy & staff friendly , which we appreciated. However food and drinks were disappointing, previously the cocktails have been special , a memorable one came with a little light to show off the glitter , just a little quirky and memorable. This time my friend got a clear liquid in a clear glass , no garnish at all. She wasn’t expecting a sparkler or an umbrella, but nothing! Food was ok again nothing special £15 for half a cauliflower , which was undercooked and not particularly tasty. So sadly with such an abundance of restaurants in Edinburgh we will be giving somewhere else a try next time.

We ordered soup and cheese toasties. Homemade, comforting and authentic! Big plus for their fresh sourdough bread. All the pastries were tempting, that will be for next time :)

The food was absolutely amazing!! It had a good portion of food, and out of all the places I’ve tried in Edinburgh this one has the best portion to quality to price ratio!

Absolutely the worst experience of my life! If you’re thinking about visiting Cafe Mango, don’t. The staff is unbelievably rude and behaves like they’re doing you a favor by serving you. Customer service? Non-existent. The food? A complete disaster. Everything we ordered was either overcooked, under-seasoned, or downright inedible. It felt like they scooped leftovers from a garbage bin and served them as "meals." To make it worse, when we politely raised concerns about the food, the staff responded with arrogance and hostility instead of fixing the issue. The place was filthy, the atmosphere suffocating, and even the water tasted bad! I wouldn’t wish this experience on my worst enemy. Avoid this place like the plague—it’s a waste of time, money, and your taste buds. If I could give it negative stars, I would.

Went for lunch and wasn't really sure where to go, really glad we happened to walk past this place. Steak frites are super reasonably priced and so tasty with lots of peppercorn sauce. Soup and bread very tasty also. Great service and very friendly/helpful.

Fui allí por negocios a hacer una auditoría. La camarera era extremadamente grosera y muy descarada. Se negó a dejarme hacer la auditoría sin razón aparente.
