Our first time here and won’t be the last, an excellent little restaurant with a fantastic atmosphere, great service and marvellous food. We could not fault this place.

We were here on Sunday night with a friend from London on her way to the Borders so it was important that our choice was right. As well as flying high on Tripadvisor the 3 restaurants are also given outstanding reviews on Time Out’s Eating Out in Edinburgh. We loved the food, the many carafes of wine!, and the excellent service. Wonderful staff and an incredibly reasonable bill! How funky is Bruntsfield becoming! Lovely to see this restaurant full on a Sunday night. Well done one and all!

We visited for dinner with some friends. There was a good choice of interesting food on the menu plus specials on the board. Everything we had was freshly prepared and very tasty. The wine list was good and we sampled white, red and a sweet wine with dessert. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are clearly labelled. It is certainly one of the best on this side of town and is on bus routes from the city centre. It is small so booking is recommended.

What a treat to be be back in the 3 Birds for lunch again! Possibly the best restaurant in the Bruntsfield area, with its sublime food, warm welcome and lack of pretension. I had the hot smoked salmon and melba toast followed by the vegan option of the coconut and lime roasted squash with corn and tortilla. Absolutely delicious. It’s a smallish restaurant so booking is advised but you’ll be so glad you did!

Excuse me for gushing. For my first Edinburgh visit, we were just looking at nearby gluten free options, and this place came up. What luck.Few tables, very friendly, helpful and chatty staff, and the dishes were absolutely delicious. Now, I can't remember the dishes exactly, (It was almost three years ago we visited), but I remember being wowed by flavour combinations and little surprising touches - like a vinegar infused tomato that just burst with flavour as I bit into it.For dessert, I had a tasting plate of the most adventurous flavoured ice creams I've ever tasted. Blackened garlic!I remember it being on the pricey side, but absolutely worth it! Definitely a destination dining experience for me - and a given, should I ever get to visit Edinburgh again. We visited in April 2018, which wasn't available to pick below.

Una de esas comidas que es exactamente tan buena como espera que sea cuando vea el menú en línea y reserve una mesa. El servicio fue cálido y amable y la comida deliciosa. Siempre es bueno que nos ofrezcan la oportunidad de tomar un apero antes de la comida, y para comenzar también tuvimos una salsa de pistacho y queso feta increíblemente sabrosa con patatas fritas caseras. Luego, algunos entrantes sabrosos seguidos de una excelente fuente para compartir de carne de res, verduras y papas fritas de excelente calidad con varias salsas caseras y mostazas. El Rioja fue un gran acompañamiento, muy oscuro y sedoso. Terminé con un poco de helado y sorbete, que era justo lo que necesitábamos después de la carne gigante. Todo en el menú se veía muy bien, algunas opciones vegetarianas interesantes, así como platos de carne. ¡Realmente esperamos nuestro próximo viaje a este fantástico restaurante de barrio!

Hemos sido grandes fanáticos de 3 Birds pre Covid y recientemente descubrimos que estaban abiertos para comida para llevar. Anoche tuvimos una gran experiencia con tres excelentes platos de lubina, hoja de ternera estofada y el filete de vaca grande para 2. Los dos primeros solo tenían que calentarse, pero el bistec tenía que cocinarse. Las instrucciones para preparar todos los platos fueron muy fáciles de entender y sencillas de hacer. Todos fueron excelentes, pero la estrella fue la gran vaca que estaba llena de sabor y tan tierna. En estos tiempos difíciles, sin duda recomendaríamos su servicio de comida para llevar que replica y no compromete los altos estándares de su restaurante.Es de esperar que el restaurante abra pronto, pero hasta entonces recomendamos que otros aprovechen el menú para llevar.Alan y Mags

We came here for a celebratory lunch with friends (including an 8 week old baby), and found this place to be cosy and charming. The decor is pared back / scandi vibes, and the menu has a scattering of interesting ingredients in dishes - ie beetroot mash with pork belly. We were able to choose starters from a brunch menu that was running, which was a great touch. Our waitress was incredibly friendly, and we really enjoyed our meal and experience here. (Also, the chips in particular were stand out!)

Solíamos comer aquí todo el tiempo y fue excelente. Doreen recibió un cupón para Navidad, así que pensamos que era un buen regalo para el almuerzo e invitamos a Paul a comprar el regalo.No sé qué ha pasado, pero está muy, muy lejos de lo que recordamos. La terrina de pato era sólida, no había esperanza en esparcirla sobre la tostada de melba.El estofado de venado, estaba delicioso, pero las porciones eran muy, muy pequeñas para un plato principal para 10. De hecho, la porción puede tener algo en común con los mini cubos de venado. Tal vez fue un plato principal "bebé".Nos quejamos sobre el tamaño de la porción, el servidor declaró que hablaré con el chef. Sin embargo, cuando se presentó la factura no había reflejo de nuestra queja, se nos presentó la factura completa.Esta fue la gota que colmó el vaso, pagamos y lo sentimos, pero no volveremos.Habíamos estado esperando un buen almuerzo pero lamentablemente estábamos muy decepcionados.Doreen y David, solían ser comensales habituales aquí, lo siento, no volveremos.Espero tener noticias de su gerente a cambio.

3 Birds is one of a dying breed - an independently owned restaurant that serves fantastic food without any fuss. The 2 courses for £14 deal is very good value. The quality of the treacle smoked salmon and remoulade was excellent and the trout with marinere sauce was so delicious I’m still thinking about it. They also do a super nice Bloody Mary. They menu is very fish/meat based so there are limited choices for vegetarians. I guess it’s because the menu changes often and is relatively small, but a bit more choice for the veggies would be cool.

I have been several times and always good food and service. However this was an evening visit. Our meal was lovely but we were not informed either when booking 4 weeks ago, or on arrival that we had only 2 hours for our table. We were really rudely ejected having been offered our deserts and tea coffee to be ordered and consumed in the next 25 mins as they “needed the table” - although we had just ordered more wine without knowing we would be asked to leave a short time later. We were then counted down to our departure every 10 mins and told loudly that “we have now asked you 4 times to leave” - this was at the 2 hour mark, not after.

Un agradable y acogedor pequeño restaurante que estaba lleno pero. . . ¡Creo que se llama The Three Birds porque eso es lo que alimentaría tu porción! El plato principal de bacalao con costra era muy escaso en papas (eran 4 pequeñas porciones de puré) y la col rizada era solo 2 pequeñas ramitas. . . lo suficientemente sabroso pero. . . por 17! ! Lamentablemente, esto no sería suficiente para la mayoría de los hombres y me alegré de tener 3 platos (entrante crujiente de gnocci y tabla de quesos para el postre), ¡pero aun así no sentí que había tenido suficiente! Por lo tanto, puede intentarlo, ya que fue lo suficientemente sabroso, pero no pase hambre, ¡probablemente se irá sintiendo lo mismo!

En Edimburgo recientemente. Recomendado a nosotros. Lindo cuarto. Tenía tres cursos. Trucha de mar con remoulade de rábano picante y terrina de pollo y pato para comenzar, merluza con tempura samphire y papas nuevas trituradas con hinojo y mantequilla de naranja para platos principales y quesos para terminar. Quesos de Escocia, Inglaterra e Irlanda; mis amigos galeses no serían felices. Los cursos son relativamente pequeños, pero el total se suma a una comida de 3 platos muy satisfactoria. Jarra de casa roja a un precio muy razonable para beber también. Todo bien. Un par de observaciones, me hubiera gustado un poco más una patada de rábano picante en mi plato, aunque reconozco que otros podrían estar en desacuerdo. Un pepinillo / chutney podría haber agregado algo al iniciador de terrina, tal vez. Las papas machacadas con el plato principal estaban poco condimentadas y la porción de merluza era pequeña. Sin embargo, estas son observaciones personales sobre una excelente comida en general y recomiendo encarecidamente este restaurante. El servicio también es muy bueno.

Comenzó bien con un personal amable y un menú interesante. La salsa de queso feta y pistacho era muy sabrosa. Mi copa de vino tinto estaba bien, pero el vino blanco de mi amiga dejó una cantidad alarmante de sedimento en su copa. Sin embargo, la fuente de mariscos era horrible. El lenguado de Dover era como ninguno de los dos había comido nunca (y ambos comemos pescado con frecuencia). Estaba firmemente pegado al hueso en lugar de levantarlo limpiamente. Fue duro y no sabía a nada. Los mejillones estaban bien, pero muchos tomates cherry flotaban en el caldo sin ninguna razón obvia. Las crevettes estaban empapadas y sabían vagamente químicas. Los pimientos finamente cortados en cubitos, etc. estaban poco cocidos. La masa madre estaba bien. Las patatas fritas estaban bien.

Everything about it was genuinely enjoyable - obvious things such as a varied menu, well-cooked food, friendly, helpful service but also less common things such as offering a taste of a wine before we chose.

This was a family meal evening. I have to say it was a fantastic one, not just because of the company, but the amazing warmth of the service we received in the restaurant. Let me tell you the menu is sublime, it's uncomplicated, seasonally changing and very, very good. We had the scallops for starters, venison and chicken for the main course. Whilst mine was excellent (tailored to my requirements) .. the venison was out of this world !! For desert its was the selection sorbets and ice creams for me,they were locally sourced and tasted delicious. This is small intimate restaurant, we were welcomed as old friends, hence being made to feel at home (thanks for offering to put us up for the night too lol !!) .. WELL DONE ... we'll be back.

This is a small restaurant and clearly busy. We had phoned ahead and told that we could only book at 6.15 and that the table would be needed at 8.15. It is a little cramped but we were seated on arrival. Others turning up on spec were turned away. There was a good choice on the menu with vegetarian & vegan options and also a specials menu. The wine list was flexible with glass, bottle and carafe options. Our only problem with the food was that the large fillet steaks from the Big Cow share option were more medium rare than the medium requested. Accompaniments were fine. We had no time for desert as the table was needed for others. Best to book way ahead and come at a slightly later time which would be more relaxing. Service was very good

They get one star because they seem to be busy enough, so they must be doing something right. However my experience might warrant zero if that were possible. Stopped by one day without reservations and they couldn't fit us in - fair enough. But I asked to make reservations the next day. Since we had plans, I asked if 9pm was possible and they accepted. That night we arrived at 5 til 9, having passed many other restaurants on the way. The restaurant is small and was completely full when we arrived. There was no table available and the place was stifling. We waited outside since there wasn't even a place to stand inside and it was so hot. After 15 minutes it was obvious that we wouldn't be seated. This place is capable of a single seating per night and should never have accepted a late reservation. So I was left late at night to find a place still open that we could get to before closing. Don't bother with this place unless you have reservations, even then don't count on anything. Or better yet, try some of the many other good options. I just wish they hadn't wasted my time.

Our timing was unfortunate apparently; they'd only been serving their new menu for a few days. It's clear they needed more practice, but but it also felt like a brand new chef cooked it all. Seasoning was so heavy-handed and the plating was ridiculous. We ordered a seafood platter, the veg (which could/should have been served separately) was pouring out of a fish head - and it was so spicy it wasn't edible. They kindly recooked the veg, but the zucchini and onions were still raw. While I do appreciate them removing the seafood platter from the bill, it is a huge buzz kill to pass the evening having to send things back because the chef didn't taste the food they're serving.

We visited this bistro after seeing its great reviews and it's close location to our hotel. This place is popular so we booked in advance! The menu is eclectic with a good selection of meat, vegetarian and vegan dishes. They also had some daily specials on offer. The service was friendly and welcoming, though casual. All of the food arrived piping hot and all dishes tasted incredible! Particular favourites were the lamb main course and black forest pudding. The portions aren't huge, but perfect for us, after three courses we were comfortably full. The only negatives I would say is that it is quite expensive and although the decor and atmosphere feels special and cosy, the staff appeared almost a little too laid-back. However, the overall experience was fantastic and it was great to taste something a little different.

3 Birds are a convenient choice if your in Bruntsfield area of Edinburgh. they also have 2 other places and I've also been to Apiary in Newington. Good food well cooked but I think their Bruch menu is best. 3 Birds service can be a bit slow (Sunday lunch) so don't expect fast food. I get a bit irritated with slow service in any Restauraunt, particularly as they don't offer a bread basket in recompense. You have to ask for this, however their dipping oil is exceptional. So to sum up good food, reasonably priced set lunch menu, and worth a detour of main road (10 metres).

Hubby booked here for Valentine dinner out a delightful choice, we have eaten here once before but this visit excelled the last. We were early, the staff were accommodating and friendly. This restaurant is super for coeliacs, vegetarians or meat eaters. We had the fish sharing platter for two, a special of the day at £45 but this was well worth it...beautifully cooked and simply presented whole Dover sole;green lipped mussels, chilli coated squid and two GIANT prawns and I mean GIANT with a healthy portion of fries and large hunk of bread with aioli and anchovie butter. As my husband is coeliac they had no problem supplying an alternative and suitable bread for him too. We had a reasonable white wine and really a super evening. I really recommend this place.

Great for vegetarians and meat eaters alike, my husband and I were so impressed with the food here, we wanted to transport it back home with us! The dishes were fresh, interesting and wonderful flavours. Highly recommended for people who enjoy good food.

Sono qui, abbiamo provato degli antipasti di un equilibrio unico, sapori contrastanti che regalano armonia al palato. Così anche il secondo, una carne ottima servita con delle salse, una al pepe e l'altra al formaggio, a dir poco deliziose. Non è un locale turistico, non è nei soliti giri, ma merita un salto. Cordialità e professionalità sono la perfetta cornice di un bel capolavoro. Non ho ancora pagato, ma non mi interessa perché ne vale la pena.

Have eaten here several times & always had delicious food, served by friendly staff and very good value. Excellent if you are coeliac or choose to eat gluten free as virtually everything on the menu is GF.

This was a real let down compared to their sister restaurants. The pork cheeks served to me were just 100% fat whereas others who had the dish at the table had some meat on them as well as fat. They should never have been served and I really should have sent them back now that I think about it. The beef fillet main was cooked medium rare but was very tough so I don’t think it was a good cut or fresh. It was also very under seasoned. The lamb shank was apparently very nice, as were the desserts and wine but overall very disappointing.

Went here for the first time to meet a former colleague for lunch. The restaurant is located at the top of Viewforth, just off Bruntsfield Place. When I was a student 40 years ago I rented a flat for a couple of years further down Viewforth so I had a nostalgic wander around the area before lunch. It's a lovely area that's not short of restaurants, but on the basis of my experience this one is most certainly worth a visit.

What a lovely local restaurant. Our flight was delayed, and when we phoned to let them know, they were charming and relaxed about it. When we finally arrived, cold, wet and hungry, we were made so welcome that we immediately knew we were in for a good evening.

What a welcome change from the average fare and service offered up in many restaurants these days. From the moment you walk through the door you sense that there is something different about this place. It isn't big, some may even say 'a little cramped', but that just adds to the warm, friendly atmosphere. There is undoubtedly a passion for top quality food and friendly, unpretentious service. The menu and Specials Board offer an enticing choice, with something to tempt most tastes. With a good knowledge of dietary needs such as gluten free, the ladies who run this place know their stuff and enjoy what they do. An excellent combination of flavours in our starters, main course and desert was complemented with choices from a good little wine list. To cap it all - excellent value.

Had a wonderful dinner at Three Birds with my boyfriend. The atmosphere was cosy, very inviting and everything looked very clean. I was really hungry so I had a very delicious starter dip with poppadoms. As for mains, both me and my boyfriend got fish. I had the halibut with crayfish and black squid ink orzo. It was exquisite, full of different flavours but after a while it got a bit sickly because of all the olive oil it was swimming in. My boyfriend's main (the market fish) was served with potatoes and some sort of vegan pesto butter and sauce. He really enjoyed it. His favourite thing though was the dessert at the end, his lactose free creme brulee which he loved. The only thing letting the place down was the service, even though the restaurant was inviting the service seemed to do the opposite. I would revisit.

It's like you're at home and a top top chef arrives at your front door to cook you a meal! And what a fabulous meal it is, using only the best locally sourced ingredients in an imaginative way. The staff were really friendly and helpful too, they know their stuff and make good suggestions and recommendations. Oh and time flies so quickly. Please go and try, you won't be disappointed.

A lovely dinner whilst staying at The Bruntsfield, a few mins walk away. Service was very good, food was excellent, the chicken we had was one of the best! Not a vast restaurant so best to book - and not a vast menu (but perhaps that is deliberate - what they do, they do very well).

Conseillé par mon AirBnB, à quelques minutes à pieds, je découvre un quartier très vivant, pleins de petites "échoppes" en tous genre (commerces originaux, restos, déco...). J'arrive au Three Birds un peu en retard, mais l’accueil est souriant et on me propose une table bien placée (merci à tous les restaurants écossais de traiter les "single" comme les autres clients!). La salle est haute de plafond et très cosy en ce soir d'octobre pluvieux, on s'y sent bien.

The specials were incredible; fresh and seasonal food, exciting specials and lovely service. The windo tables have seating far too close to each other and the restaurant an be busy, so venturing to the bathroom is a challenge.

Food was amazing, we didn’t not expect such quality. It’s not average good quality but really really good. Well cooked, fresh and tasty vegetables, the meat was exceptional... So tender! I will certainly go back and definitely recommend it.

Arrived for a Saturday lunch - haven't been for a while! Food was SO much better than we remembered or expected!! Really nice relaxed atmosphere - the only negative I have is that the two young waitresses were scruffy & obviously hadn't been trained very well. I know it's a small neighbour bistro but appearances matter!

I visited with my wife and sister-in-law for a pre-theatre dinner. They shared the Big Cow platter, and I had the sea bass special. The BC was tremendous. The sea bass in comparison was a little disappointing: well cooked but the skin was not crispy, and the bean and potato salad was under-seasoned and a little bland. Great value at £88 including wine, coffee and a tip

Birthday dinner on a cold wet night left us a bit deflated. Starters of hummus, bread, etc were good but mixed fish platter was disappointing with too many grilled veg and chips seemed out of place. Malaysian curry was bit dry. Staff friendly.

3 se hizo lo imposible para asegurarse de que nos dieron una mesa después de una reserva de confusión. El servicio era amable y bien superado. Hemos comido aquí varias veces y la comida (y vinos) siempre están a punto. El principal de venado y carne de arranque bajó especialmente bien esta vez. Volveremos pronto, estoy seguro!

If I could, I’d be at U of G everyday. They have an ever-changing offering of delicious and unusual soups, chillis and home-baked bread. Everything is tasty, filling and makes you feel good! The best take out place in the Forest Road/ George V Bridge area. There is some limited seating so if you get there early enough, you can dine in and chat to the lovely staff.

L'escargot Bleu Restaurantlocation-icon56 Broughton StreetBritish

We popped into L'Escargot Bleu for a sunny Saturday lunch on a recent three-day pass through Edinburgh. We've dined at great restaurants in many places, but there's no question that this little French gem is at the very top of its game. The dishes are fresh and delicious, using the best of seasonal produce that is lovingly prepared and presented. No exaggeration, this was quite possibly the best risotto we've ever eaten, anywhere, and the crème brûlée is absolute perfection. The staff is so charming and helpful -- and the dining space so inviting -- that you may want to linger after your meal over mouthwatering desserts, an extensive wine list and addictive coffees. Top-notch all around. Bravo!!!
