The Westroom in Edinburgh, City of

Heerlijk eten, wat kleinere gerecht dus leuk om te delen. Prima prijzen! Klein restaurant met gezellig sfeertje. Ik kom hier graag nog een keer terug!

I am gluten free. There are several gluten free options for appetizers, which is wonderful. However, there is only one main course that can be made gluten free and it is without protein. When I asked whether I might add a protein to my meal (such as shrimp, which my partner was having in his meal) I was provided a curt "no". I was shocked that such a response would be provided to such a simple request. I would have, of course, expected to pay for the extra protein. Our food arrived and we were underwhelmed at the flavors. My partner had a seafood medley pasta and I had the parmesan risotto. His was to have shrimp and scallops. The shrimp was overcooked and the scallops were, at most, perhaps one scallop that had been chopped into four pieces. My meal was mediocre in flavor and I could not taste the pumpkin pieces in it. We shared the creamy chicken with fig on toast (gluten free) appetizer. It, too, did not live up to flavors, though the figs were fresh and tasty. We are good cooks and both remarked how easy it would have been to make each dish taste better. We did not finish our meals. We skipped dessert for fear it, too, would be underwhelming.

Fantastic service and new menu is even better than the last! Food is always so tasty and great portion size! Always great selection of drink and cocktails we really enjoy the venue and the staff are always really helpful kind and attentive!

Delicious tapas at a reasonable price. Loved the small intimate setting and location.

We had a lovely lady serving us, we got to sample wine before we ordered and that was her suggestion so thank you. The food was so tasty, the plates were cleared, nothing left 👏👏👏👏 I’ll be back soon.

Fantastic food and service such a lovely place perfect every time

Really good food, very kind, attentive and accommodating team, we had a lovely time and are looking forward to coming back again!

Very efficient friendly staff. Enjoyable evening. Whilst what I wanted on the menu they managed to produce a very acceptable alternative,

I got the squid appetizer along with the pork and lamb meatballs + tagliatelle. The meatballs were delicious, but both the squid and pasta were way over cooked. The pasta was falling apart on my fork. The salad thing that came with the calamari was straight up salty without much flavour. Overall really underwhelmed by the food. Great service though.

Great food choices and extremely fresh! We had the ravioli and aubergine and pistachio bruschetta, chef was kind enough to alter the ravioli sauce to our liking (and it was super tasty!) Some items on the menu weren’t available, which wasn’t highlighted until we ordered, disappointing but there was lots of choice. Had the affogato to finish; their coffee blend was great, highly recommend! Lovely ambience and great for a catch up with friends or a date. Best of all, they were dog friendly :)

Great place. Loved the low cost tapas and great drink selection.

My wife and myself a dined here for the first time on Friday 19th Sept and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Staff were very friendly and efficient and the food was excellent,especially having our pasta cooked not al dente as we prefer it well cooked. Altogether a very enjoyable evening and we will definitely come back

Great place for a wee bite. The vegetables were excellent.

Hidden Gem in Edinburgh. Food was delightful, interesting menu and concept, great value.

Very pleasant surroudings, good food and very nice staff. Will definately go back.

Excellent service and delicious food. Such a good choice to have English breakfast. Everything super tasty and fresh!

Fantastic food, beautifully presented in a lovely environment. Would recommend.

No food but drinks Service friendly, professional and accommodating.

Great experience! We went for a dinner, everything was perfect: food, friendly waiter, decor.

Fantastic tasty food great menu for food and wine and the service was outstanding!

Found this little gem following an online search. Everything was lovely. Staff were accommodating when we arrived early for our table, service was fantastic, staff pleasant, food choice was just right, food was so tasty and decor modern. Next time we’re in Edinburgh we will definitely be back.

We bought an Itison voucher for here to try some of their snacks. Very tasty but the tomato sauce was a little too rich for me. Reasonable priced drinks and bought a few extra snacks. It was a Friday lunch time and all tables were occupied. We couldn't believe what excellent service everyone received despite there being only one member of staff. I think she deserves a pay rise!

Excellent food and friendly service as always. Extensive menu and a lovely restaurant for either a quick lunch or a relaxing evening. Wine list is reasonably priced and offers plenty choice. We tend to order a selection of the small plates to share - most recent visit we shared 10 dishes between 4 for an evening meal.

Eight of us met for lunch and we were met with friendly staff, a super choice of food which was lovely. Overall lunch cost was good, only wished they had their offer on but appreciated it’s was during the festival and they didn’t have it on during the weekend. Will definitely return as will family members.

Awful pizza dry bread and olive bread sticks I nearly broke my teeth on base of pizza just snapped into bits all over cooked and hardly any filling on to just 2 meat balls

Such amazing service and food best little find in Edinburgh

Great place for cocktails and small plates dinner. Attentive bar staff working hard to look after a busy bar/restaurant.

Usual wonderful relaxed lunch with excellent service and friendly staff and great ambience 

I visited The West Room either a friend . I did t know what to expect. The ambiance was just great , high ceilings , rustic feel , tables well spaced. The staff are just so welcoming and even though they were busy nothing was too much trouble. The food is simply wonderful. Tapas style service to die for . If you want to impress someone without it bring over the top take them here. The value is excellent . Def worth a try

Always great to go here. Wonderful service and lovely selection of good food and drinks at really affordable price. Booked my next lunch already!

Really nice place, the food was delicious, service was lovely and friendly and the wine list was fab. Highly recommend.

Often visit this lovely restaurant. Lovely atmosphere, good service and lovely menu.

Real food, and really delicious.

Very nicely received, served and advised. Great food at moderate prices. Always my pleasure.

Found this place by chance needing help and the girl from the bar helped me so kindly....great atmosphere...will come back definitely!

Great place. Friendly service and food and wine fab.

Outstanding! Easy to book or walk in. Friendly, helpful, professional staff. Excellent choice of food and drink on menu. Food was delicious, fresh, well presented. Very relaxing dining experience. Will definitely return.

The service was warm n welcoming. Staff were very polite n attentive. Food was superb n good value for money. Sure to go again

Had a great first time experience, staff so friendly, food was delicious and I have had stomach surgery so the small plates were perfect for me. Our waitress was so nice, we were still drinking when the next guests for our table had arrived, our waitress said she could move us to a smaller table to let us continue with our visit instead of rushing us away. Will definitely be back 👍

First and foremost, the person who served us was lovely, always smiling, and super helpful. At one point, a fly landed in my date’s glass of wine, and it was replaced without question or charge. The food was delicious, my first time trying Arancini, and it didn’t disappoint! I would 100% recommend and will be back.

Looking for a light lunch in the West End and found this new concept - Italian tapas. Interesting mixture and good wine list. Also admired the manager for pointing out after we had chosen that we could have the same a bit cheaper off of the lunchtime table de hote.

We have previously been here albeit at the weekend and the service was great. Yesterday we arrived for a 4pm booking at 3.45 the door was locked the waitress signalled that they weren’t open. We knew our booking was for 4pm and were happy to wait. The waitress opened the door and we told her we had a booking for 4pm she said for future information we don’t open until 4pm we asked which table we were to sit at and she said anywhere. She didn’t show us to any tables we just had to choose a table ourselves. Her attitude was fairly poor. We also had requested a bottle of bollinger champagne at the time of booking and we received a message 30 minutes beforehand saying they were out of stock I would have expected more notice than this or at least an attempt to source it. Overall it wasn’t the best experience compared to our 3 last visits it’s disappointing as it was my husbands birthday.

Good selection of tasty food. Pleasant and happy faced staff

Great food and the waitress, Pooja, was very friendly, efficient, and helpful. The restaurant was very busy, but she still managed to find us a table.

Lovely inventive tapas dishes and very friendly service.

Excellent service and food. Visited for an after graduation meal with two young kids in tow. Waiter was very friendly and attentive, food served promptly and great selection of food and drink. Even suggested we ordered too much food (which we had!) Stupidly left my SLR camera behind but the waiter tracked us down half way along the street! Very grateful indeed. 5 stars all round.

This is a local gem. Excellent Italian food backed by five star service.

What a gorgeous night! We had such a lovely time at the WestRoom with such lovely and welcoming staff who made delicious drinks and helped us have a relaxing Saturday night in the heart of Edinburgh. Really reasonable prices too. We found it by chance but will definitely be coming back!

Lovely bar/restaurant situated in the west end of Edinburgh's city centre. Staff were friendly, food was nice and reasonably priced. There was a great selection of wines on offer.

Amazing food! Service was fantastic so quick and friendly we had a large party so it was really good as the place was super busy!

Lovely food. Great night. 3rd time there. Will definitely go back.

The setting is very pub-like upon entry, but the seating area round the back is nicer. Not sure why there are paintings of postcard-like Italy in places. Service was pleasant. Food was not great, the plates were cold and the food was cold and some over seasoned and overcooked. I don’t think they charged us fully because they could see we didn’t eat the plates.

Super service, good value Italian tapas, generous portions. Definitely recommend.

Totally enjoyed our meal,tasty and good value. Service was first class and cleanliness was spot on. We will return soon.

Team was understaffed or under trained. Nice but slow. Food was very good. May have just caught them on a bad night.

We came in for brunch today. We were served by a very nice woman, thank you for your service. The food was also lovely!

We had a brilliant meal for 8 people and the staff were all so welcoming!

Whilst it states cicchetti (which are small, mouthful, Venetian snacks) the the dishes are more akin to "Spanish tapas". There is a good variety of dishes and wines on offer. The 4 four dishes that we had were all very good . Well prepared and presented by friendly professional staff. We had a very enjoyable meal.

Big portions and very tasty (lots of seasoning). Service was friendly and timely. Good buzz on a busy evening.

Amazing staff, delicious cocktails and a good ambience !

Lovely place, great food and service. Didn’t feel rushed either. Will definitely return. The lady serving us was lovely and attentive and we had time to relax.

Relaxed vibe, Great waiter & good service Just sorry there were no sausages for the breakfast choice

Lovely atmosphere - calm relaxing. Great small plates

A great find! Came here for early evening food and drink with a friend. We shared small plates. Great choice with plenty of vegetarian options too. Everything we ordered was amazing and the service was brilliant. Cannot recommend enough!

It's a nice place to have a great time with friends. Karan was a wonderful host. We really enjoyed the food and the place. Highly recommend.

An absolute gem of a restaurant. Perfect small plates for sharing while enjoying a glass or two of wine! We had a lovely time - it was exactly what we were looking for and the menu did not disappoint! Highly recommend! We will be back.

Nice food nice atmosphere definitely worth a visit

Top quality Italian bites (of the generous variety) with something to suit everyone. Impeccable service.

A pre-theatre meal started the evening perfectly

We last visited pre Covid under previous owners but it remains true to its ethos of great value Italian cicchetti served with a smile and now featuring a small Indian curry dish, well done and all superb. Service was impeccable and food delicious plus good value wines.

Absolutely amazing Brunch and totally Italian inspired and cooked to perfection. Great coffee and the server was the friendliest, most hospitable ever! Will definitely be back, and as an Edinburgh resident, it's a gem to find!

Excellent high quality breakfast! Large portion, absolutele worth the money. Although when we came, they had already stopped serving breakfast menu, they cooked it for us. And even more, that is the first place, that has 2 lady's room and one gent's, which is just a respect😎😎

It's an excellent restaurant, an Italian experience with a twist. It offers a fusion of Italian flavors served tapas-style, perfect for those who want to explore a variety of dishes in one sitting. Inviting ambiance, excellent service, and tapas-style dishes make it a local gem.

A lovely meal out on our visit to Edinburgh. Lovely food and setting. Friendly attentive member of staff.

Absolutely amazing food. The on-the-day home made ravioli was just amazing. We got around 7-8 small plates that came to a mount of £60, worth every single penny can't complain about anything. Amazing friendly service, will be back next time we're up like.

Great staff! Lovely food and great prices. Thank you

It's actually Italian not Spanish though. Food was nice, my kids enjoyed the fries, good place to chill out.

Great little local restaurant, food was really testy and piping hot .

Good atmosphere with friendly relaxed service. Look forward to trying food next time we visit.

Lovely food and lovely wait staff

The braised beef and parsley pesto pasta is to die for!! Delicious!!!!!

Absolutely a delightful experience. The cocktails were delicious. And the shared plates were , creative, innovative and deeply satisfying. Will definitely visit again before we head back to Canada. Note: The service was attentive and informative. A true pleasure Cheers

Great Cocktails and delicious interesting shareable plates, friendly service and reasonably priced. Too bad I’m just visiting Edinburgh or I would be a very regular customer.

The 2 for 2 set menu was great value, the food was very tasty (especially the ravioli of the day) and the service came with a smile. Our meal was a very pleasing part of a most enjoyable Monday night out. The West Room is Highly recommended. As are Say She She live. The female trio harmonised even better than the Ravioli and saffron cream sauce served by West Room.

I'd never heard of cicchetti before (Venetian style snacks served with drinks) so was interested to try it. I stuck with the Contorni + Insalate part of the dinner menu and chose crispy zucchini flowers (£5); buttered new potato, cauliflower and prosciutto (£5); and salmon pate with caviar, blinis, crème fraiche and dill oil (£8). Everything was really tasty though a little oily and I found the blini a bit too thick and chewy. This did not spoil the experience though as I really enjoyed everything. The staff were very professional, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere in the restaurant was relaxed and cheery. I had a pint of Moretti (£6.50). For dessert, I had a delicious pistachio and raspberry tart with chocolate mascarpone (£7) with a decaf americano (£2.50). A very enjoyable dining experience.

The West Room is a nice place and the food was quite good. Some courses were better than others. The only thing I would say is they miss a trick by not asking you if you want a dessert or coffee or another drink. I think their profits would increase substantially if they did.

Lovely little place. Excellent menu, food was delish and good portions. Was quite noisy when it was full.

Great selection of food and drink at very reasonable prices. The food was delicious and staff very friendly and helpful.

Lovely stylish gem of a restaurant, attentive service, fabulous food and great atmosphere. Def return next time we are in a Edinburgh

Everything great although asked to vacate the table to accommodate next sitting . Our party would suggest the only reason we hadn't finished was that the service was too slow !

Really excellent both the food and value. Today we had the vegetarian breakfast / brunch and previously I've had other dishes and never been disappointed. Come and dine you won't regret it :))

What a charming little place. Service was fantastic, so friendly and attentive. Food was fine. Nothing outstanding but would definitely recommend as the whole experience and nice wine with great service.

We ate on a busy evening after the Scotland England rugby match. Despite this the staff were very attentive, the wine was really good as was the food. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back

I love this place for pre-rugby lunch. The food is delicious, staff are so nice and friendly and hard working and the house red wine is such good value. We will definitely be back again!

First time here and definitely would return. Food and drink was lovely. We did the tapas dishes and they were all so nice! Staff very friendly and welcoming.

Really good service and the food was so good as well

Best restaurant experience I have had in a long time! The staff were so welcoming & friendly! The food & drinks were excellent, such good value for your money! Will definitely be back! Than you ☺️

Great food and service! Will definitely be returning.

I booked this place for valentines day. I selected on the booking for standard seating and not on the bar. When we arrived, nobody came to welcome us and help us find our seats. For a restaurant to only have two front of house members on valentines day is asking for problems. Then we found out we had been stuck on barstools facing the wall at the front of the restaurant. It was ridiculous that the restaurant had this tried to flog this as a table?! Then as we looked through the menu, the couple behind us complained about the risotto so we decided to leave and make dinner at home. Overall, very disappointing wouldn’t come back

We very much enjoyed our lunch here one rainy Sunday afternoon. We had the soup and bruschetta, followed by two pasta dishes. Everything was hot, well cooked and tasty. The cocktails we enjoyed first were delicious. Good value, good food, nice place.
