Twenty Princes Street in Edinburgh, City of

We booked a family meal for 8. Everyone agreed that both the service and food were first class. The waiting staff were excellent. Well trained and attentive. The food was excellent and the restaurant location and ambience were perfect. Will definitely book again when we next visit Edinburgh. Highly recommend.

Steak is the most expensive one in the menu, but it was the worst I’ve ever had, even I do better. When we said to the waiter that it was tough, he said - “I see”, and then they stopped being nice with us)

Excellent dinner, very good food and lovely and attentive staff. Very good also for someone in a wheelchair.

Lovely and fine restaurant with a great view of the city. Food and drinks were amazing!

Food was too small portions, service was ok, not 5 star, atmosphere/decor was a wee bit better, very over priced, adding 12.5% tip, that’s basically 12.5% extra to rip off it’s customers, it’s not the USA, we have minimum wage here. Anyway, it was just all right.

Nice restaurant and the staff are friendly and prompt service. Although, I ordered steak with cost £36 and it was very very tough and I had asked for medium and the steak was rare.

The atmosphere in this restaurant is truly amazing. A really nice place to sit and eat. The decor and views are gorgeous! The staff were wonderful and very friendly too. They did look after us properly through the whole meal. Our only downside was the steak. We both had sirloin and had to send the first back as it was gristly and very tough. To be honest, the second dish of sirloin wasn't much better. For £36 I wouldn't expect to have to chew my steak or sweat trying to cut it. We will try again but maybe a different meal ☺️

Seabass (watch out for bones), Lamb rump, and Macaroni Cheese were all amazing. Fries weren't impressive but okay.

Nice traditional British Restaurant serving traditional British dishes great atmosphere. The food is amazing, though wine is expensive but nice. Lovely!

Good food and professional staff, wonderful lounge overlooking the old city.

Food excellent. Service poor. I think when places add the service charge, they don't seem to see their customers.

Disappointing menu. Poor range of options if you don't eat meat or are vegetarian. Food was pretty good however. Service was awful. Waiters were quite rude & arrogant.

Had the afternoon tea, scones were good but the rest not so much. Would not go there again

A lovely family birthday meal. Delicious food, friendly, attentive service and a good atmosphere.

All style and not much substance. The service and cocktails at the bar were both fine, however, the dinner service was very poor. Serving staff were inattentive and aloof. No apology for an incredibly long wait to take our orders. When the food did arrive, many people received incorrect orders. The scallops and garlic mushrooms were fine. Steaks were a disaster as they all arrived rare despite several orders being between medium-rare and medium. The meat itself was very fatty and full of gristle. A few of us had trouble chewing the meat and had to leave almost half of our food. One order was sent back and when the new dish arrived, there was zero improvement. It's a shame as it's a beautiful dining room in a great location. Unfortunately, it doesn't quite live up to it's potential.

Keeps on bothering me with ads. Very Frustrating

Unfortunately we were disappointed. We booked the restaurant based on the dishes that were online on the memory card. Unfortunately, neither the desired starter nor main course were available because the menu had been updated - just not on the website. The atmosphere was rather cool and the pictures had nothing to do with the way the dishes were presented. Unfortunately, more appearance than reality. Probably OK for tourists, but not for Edinburgh connoisseurs. We made the most of the evening. Too bad

We stayed at the hotel rather than just using the restaurant, staff were all friendly and helpful. Unfortunately the towel radiator in our bathroom was broken so the bathroom was chilly, we asked for fresh towels as they wouldn't be dry. It was reported but not fixed, when we asked they initially said they couldn't find it, and then was informed part of a bigger problem, didn't fill us with confidence that it had been looked at. Lift out of order for the duration of our stay. Breakfast was cold on 1st day, I managed to eat mine mostly, but wife couldn't eat hers and didn't order 2nd day because if that, but mine was OK 2nd day just as well as I was going to challenge them this time. They were also happy to swap the haggis and black pudding 2nd day for another sausage, I tried them 1st day but not to my liking. Great central location.

Me and my fiancé chose this restaurant for our anniversary and booked window seats in advance, however we didn't get them prolly because we booked too late. Environment's okay, window seats look really nice. Food tastes fresh especially the cod is tender. Kinda big portion and nice presentation. Not the best among all the food I've tried but deserves the price and four stars as I've given. Would've given the atmosphere 5 stars before the bunch of noisy customers came in, I think it's the staff's responsibility to handle noisy customers. Overall is okay.

Beautifully presented afternoon tea with the best scones I've ever had! The chilled cucumber soup was a nice touch, as well as the warm toastie. Lovely atmosphere and view of the castle, not overly busy, and great tasting food.

Arrived for Sunday roast , waited 1 hour, then they said they’d sold out , waited another 15 mins then left … terrible service

Elegant and refined restaurant, excellent for a romantic dinner for couples. The dishes are well balanced and tasty. The only flaw is the service mark-up not expressed on the menu which increases what seemed like low prices considering the location.

Very lovely place I came with my partner for an anniversary date. Our server Carlos was nothing short of polite and accommodating. We were seated at a table with a lovely view which was accompanied by a complimentary celebratory dessert by the restaurant. Would definitely recommend.

Fabulous meal and well looked after by all the staff , sitting in wonderful surroundings

The waiter was extremely rude and we had awful service. When we came to the restaurant there was no warm welcome and we had to wait some time to be served although we had a booking. I was shocked by the rude waiter when I asked about the tea selection, he replied in a passive aggressive way: “the one my colleague told you before”….excuse me, isn’t it part of the service you need to provide and telling the selection of teas you have, considering it’s written in the menu that we need to ask the staff about the available teas ? Yes I asked his colleague before and so what? I came to have a good time and relax and I’m not supposed to memorize all the teas if you cannot write them in the menu…. Then I asked about the oat milk that they had and guess what? I’ve got a rude reply again:”it’s a restaurant, not a coffee shop here”. Sorry, what??? Seriously? Yes that’s a restaurant and I’d expect a better service here. I’m so shocked with this rude behavior. The food was okayish, the cod tasted like the cheap fish we give to cats lol The lamb was nice but the potatoes graten was okayishhhhh for the starters we ordered bread which came with one type of each … lol the monkfish was super fat and oily… but the salmon was nice. We also ordered the french fries and they forgotten I think and then Brought two sets but the wrong ones and it was too late when we finished the mains We decided not to take any deserts after this service…. When they brought the bill we wanted to ask to remove the service charge and I think they understood that it was horrible and removed it prior we asked So I don’t recommend this place at all. The food is ok and doesn’t worth it. The service was horrible and spoiled our dinner. Maybe it’s because we are foreigners and they are racist maybe because for any other reason I don’t know but that’s very disappointing

We went with the organized trip of the Community of Madrid. A great surprise, all the Spanish workers, from Seville, the food was very delicious, we tried the Huggis, surprising.

My fourth or fifth visit, with last night bringing 16 customers. You didn't let me down. Very well looked after by you folks - appreciated. Will be back, cheers, Graeme.

Lunch at £20 for 2 courses Limited selection but food were tasty Nice ambience

Fabulous champagne afternoon tea.

As a walk in for lunch i was promptly seated at a lovely small table by the window. The sun was shining and it was a great opportunity to make the most of it. I'd followed the restaurant on social media for a while and thought id take advantage of thr 2 courses for £20 and a couple glasses of wine. The haggis bonbons and the chicken was delectable! I'll happily come back the next time I'm in the city.

Very cozy place, delicious cuisine and refined service.

Beautiful restaurant with nice views. The staff was really really nice. I asked the waitress for a recommendation, she recommended mussels. They were delicious, probably the tastiest mussels I’ve ever had, although several were broken… Looking forward to coming again.

Enjoyed Scottish cuisine at a beautiful restaurant

Beautiful inside and the view is spectacular. Get a table by the window (also be sure to check out the bathrooms!) My smoked salmon salad was divine.

I ordered a medium rare steak, it came out bleu rare. Sent it back, it came back mostly well done. I looked at the previous reviews and set myself up for a major disappointment. It is way overrated for what it provided. The taste for everything was not even good. DO NOT COME HERE.

Such a disappointing experiencing. My seafood orzo was tasty but my friend's pork belly was cold. Politely sent it back and when it came back the pork was hot but the potatoes were cold. No-one checked on us, we sat with finished plates in front of us for around 20 minutes and overall the service was non-existent. The staff were then whispering about us when we asked to have the 12% service charge removed from the bill. I can't remember the last time I did not tip but I honestly can't remember ever experiencing such poor service.

We thoroughly enjoyed Afternoon Teat at Twenty Princes. The service was outstanding. Beautiful restaurant, not too loud. A pleasant, busy, late lunch crowd of varying ages. Lots of tea options (or coffee), and we each tried two. Nibbles and scones were delicious. Several local teas are rather expensive - this was affordable, elegant, and delicious. A real treat.

Lovely restaurant. Amazing food. We were welcomed by lovely and kind staff and made our experience fantastic. 10/10 would recommend. Definitely will be back!!

The building is old, the building is beautiful. Wonderfully decorated and clean! The restaurant was spacious and there was pegs to put our jackets on. Table was huge and more than enough for the group of 6 we had. Service was prompt. The food was so so so so good! It was fantastic! Only gripe I will make is that when giving the steaks out. The server said Medium Rare, I repeated, he said medium rare again. I said the medium rare was mine. I was under the impression that my food was cooked too long, which didn't matter all too much because the flavour was really good. However it turned out another person in the group had my steak. Which I could see was cooked perfectly. I was very jealous and certainly would have preferred being served this one. The deserts also were very tasty and nice. I would definitely come back here!

Food was amazing . Staff very friendly and very welcoming.

Was absolutely brilliant,customer service was fantastic great place to be!

Made to feel so welcome and the food is brilliant me and the wife will definitely be going back

Thank you for your clean store and wonderful service. I was able to enjoy a delicious meal with peace of mind.

Despite having a vegetarian tea menu online it is not available in the restaurant. When we requested the vegetarian menu we were told it is not available and we would not be accommodated, and then basically asked to leave. Cannot recommend this place at all. Deplorable service.

Correct food. Spacious and well-kept site. One of the best we found in the area. Very nice and attentive waiters. Advisable.

A fantastic dining experience! The food, ambience, location and most of all the service 9.9/10👌

A very nice restaurant right on Princes Street. The restaurant is fantastically decorated & the food won’t disappoint. I’d recommend to anyone looking for a good meal.

Excellent food, friendly welcoming service. Great decor, lovely atmosphere. Great place for dinner.

It was out first experience with an afternoon tea and it was perfect. Tea selection was great and we loved the food, especially the the savouries.

I made reservation for traditional high tea, but couldn’t have it, cause of reserving too late. Staff recommended me to have lunch or snack at bar. Foods were nice!

Lovely atmosphere and food and service were excellent.

Wonderful vibe, service and food. We both ordered the filet and it was cooked perfectly. Great location and ambience.

The restaurant was quiet, bright and airy, a real peaceful escape from the hustle of the city. We were served by Alejandro who was so polite and efficient. The food we had was absolutely delicious. My boyfriend says it's the best fish dish he's ever had! (He had the sea bass.) The raviolo I had was amazing as well. We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner and the awesome views. Keep up the good work and thank you very much to Alejandro, other waiting staff, the chefs and front of house. Truly a gem in the city!

Horrible bad treatment since we waited more than 45 minutes and with the drink on the table they told us that their kitchen was saturated and they couldn't serve us and as a favor they didn't charge us for the drink. As I said, it is a disgraceful bad experience and not at all recommended.

Fantastic fish and wonderful atmosphere and service but the cocktails were limited and the Mac n cheese side dish was awful, no flavour. Wonderful otherwise, lovely anniversary dinner

Quite simply beautiful surroundings and the staff were amazing. Beautiful tasty food. Our whole day was amazing. Thank you.

Second time we’ve been here and again the food was excellent, the staff were friendly and readily available, the only negative was the bottle of rosè we got wasn’t very nice, other than that highly recommend.

Food and atmosphere were lovely, some prices were high and we didn’t appreciate the service charge but none the less we thoroughly enjoyed the experience we just wished that tipping was fully optional as otherwise we would actually tip.

We had a very enjoyable evening at Twenty Princes Street. The staff were very pleasant and extremely helpful. My only criticism is that I am allergic to Shellfish and both fish dishes on the menu had shellfish included in them. I was therefore a bit restricted with regards to the menu.

This restaurant is located inside Indigo hotel in Edinburgh and was a wonderful find. The decor was on point and reflected the heritage of Scotland. It was well laid out and the window tables had a nice view of parts of Edinburgh. Our three course meal was one of the best we’ve had in a while. Couldn’t complain about anything.

Wonderful anniversary meal - service was brilliant, food was lovely and the ambience was great. Twenty Princes Street was a tranquil place to escape the hustle and bustle of the festival

Gorgeous setting, fantastic food and attentive staff. We opted for the 2 for £20 menu which is amazing value. Highly recommended. In fact we’ve already booked our next visit!

Absolutely beautiful in every way. Food, service, decor, views. What a classy, but friendly place. Exceptional.

Yesterday I went to dinner to celebrate my birthday and we had a good evening. The service was very good and the food delicious.

Really nice steak. Just what we needed. Medium rare steak with veg

We really enjoyed our visit to Twenty. The food was delicious. We would definitely return. I recommend it.

Great experience from start to finish!

Had a lovely 3 course meal here which we were very happy with. Food was delicious and very well presented. I found the food prices quite fair for the quality, but did think drinks were a bit overpriced- £42 for a bottle of Prosecco I feel is pretty steep compared to many restaurants! Service was good although a little on the slow side. When booking, the restaurant states for a table of 4 you are given 2 hours. We were just getting to dessert after 2 hours, but we weren’t made to feel rushed at all. We found it a little odd that having ordered the breads for the table, they arrived at the same time as the starters, instead of the usual case where they’re brought quickly to have whilst waiting for starters. So we ended up eating bread after our starters. Perhaps just a little error in timing at that point. Waiting staff were friendly and informative. I had written a note on our booking that we were celebrating a special big birthday so if there was anything that could be done to help make it special (eg a nice view) it would be appreciated. Our waiter apologised at the start that unfortunately the tables at the windows were booked for a long time so it wasn’t possible which was fair enough and I appreciated him acknowledging it. Maybe a little happy birthday message on the birthday boys dessert or something else to mark it might have been nice but it wasn’t too big a deal. Overall very happy with our evening and would book again.

My husband and I ordered the lobster seafood dish. There was no lobster in my husbands dish . I had a small amount of lobster. We originally ordered from the Al a carte menu but were advised by the waitress we could order the same on the table dote menu having said it was the same. When we ordered our sweet my sweet was missing the ice cream which the waitress said was because I paid extra £5.00 for it on the table dote menu but it didn’t come with I cream . I felt this was a very cheap skate thing to do considering I paid another £5.00 to have the sweet !!! Overall that was a real mistake as the sweet really needed the ice cream it was not good without it ! Spoiled everything !!! Such a shame

20Princes St is in the Indigo Hotel. The restaurant has better soundproofing from street noise than the hotel has. This was recommended to us. We found the food fine, but several of the appetizers that we tried, didn’t appeal to us. The food was fine and reasonably priced- on the high end- but the service was awful. Go have a drink in the bar- lots of interesting combinations and cute menu there.

A really lovely evening at Twenty, we went on a Saturday and there was good atmosphere yet calmness. The wait staff was so fantastic and really looked after us. We can't wait to return with more members of our families next time.

Was there to meet friends and we had a lovely time. Food and service were perfect.

Service was impeccable and the food was honestly some of the best we’ve ever tasted. Highly recommend.

Fabulous meal, great value and lovely staff

We had a lovely dinner to celebrate our anniversary. The food was amazing, and the servers great. They even brought out a special dessert with Happy anniversary written in chocolate on the plate. It was a wonderful celebration

The food was ok. The service was good. I’ve been in far better establishment’s £42 for a bottle of Prosecco! Extortionate!

It was the first time we called room service, and the price was cheaper than expected (I think it’s not much different from nearby restaurants, after all, you don’t have to go out). We ordered chicken breast and seafood, which were quite delicious! ! ! The chicken breast can actually taste smokey, it’s so delicious For dessert, I ordered pudding and hot chocolate cake. I highly recommend the chocolate cake, it is very delicious! ! ! A must! ! !

Lovely lunch meeting up with friends over from US. The food and service excellent ad always and stunning views of the castle 😊

Fabulous as always Food delicious and staff brilliant Highly recommend

Very enjoyable lunch here and only managed two courses. Mushrooms to start and very delicious sea bass for main. Good selection of cocktails and wines. Good service and nice ambience. Highly recommend.

Food was nice but the service is just so slow and both of my friends felt they were being neglected. No one come check on us to see if we needed drinks after seated, we gave order of all drinks and food after getting the attention of the waiter ourselves, food took a long time to arrive and no one come and check and ask how’s the food after they’ve been served. In the end, none of us manage to get the attention of the waiting staff so we had to just get up and walked to the reception and pay ourselves. Fairly disappointed given it’s such a nice restaurant on the review and look.

We had a delicious afternoon tea. It was beautifully presented and good value with plenty for everyone and catered for all dietary requirements. It’s a lovely location with great views. Excellent customer service.

Enjoyed my dinner here, food with rich taste, elegant environment, good service.

Very good food, but we waited for our bill for 45 minutes after we were done eating.

All excellent, great good and service Fabulous location and atmosphere

Gorgeous interior, big circular tables booth-style - perfect for conversations. Lovely food and drinks. Prices are a bit more but worth it for special occasions. Need to return to try out the 2 courses for £20 which isn’t valid on Saturdays.

Overall a fantastic experience, food, service and ambience were great.

Wonderful evening spent overlooking the amazing city with fantastic food and great service!

The food was OK but the service was excellent, The Scallops were good but lacked flavor. The sea bass was good but also needed more flavor. The cod was delicious and flavourful. the sides were all very good!

Første stedet vi spiste på i Edinburgh. Fantastisk service og mat. Jeg spiste lam og den var perfekt stekt. Kommer tilbake neste gang.

A lovely afternoon tea with an interesting savoury section. We'll worth the money

Twenty Princess Street 🌟 The Twenty Princess Street restaurant in Edinburgh is a classy dining experience, worth visiting at least once in your life. Located in the heart of the city, the venue enchants from the moment you enter with its enormous hall with high vaults, which gives a feeling of unparalleled grandeur and spaciousness. The walls of the restaurant are furnished with a series of paintings depicting the history of Scotland's important men, a refined and cultural homage that adds a touch of elegance and a deep sense of historical belonging to the environment. The service is impeccable: we were welcomed with warmth and professionalism by "our" trusted Spanish waiter. Our table for nine was perfectly set in a round table setting, which made for easy conversation and conviviality. In the center, a splendid floral composition welcomed guests, a detail that underlines the attention to the care and beauty of the venue. With great courtesy, the staff then removed the composition to allow us to chat comfortably during dinner. The quality of the food was excellent. Each dish was expertly prepared, using fresh, high-quality ingredients, and presented with an aesthetic that pleases both the eye and the palate. The menu offers a wide range of options, satisfying even the most demanding palates. Another feature that makes the Twenty Princess Street restaurant unique are the huge windows overlooking Edinburgh's main street. These allow you to enjoy a breathtaking view of the city, adding a further element of charm to the already splendid atmosphere of the venue. I didn't take photographs of the dishes because I wanted to enjoy the evening.

Whatever we had was delicious! The grilled lamb was exquisite. The decor and atmosphere was on par with the food. Rafael was fantastic with the service. Great wine selection. Highly recommended!

Beautiful hotel restaurant and bar. Starter, main and dessert were excellent, tasty and well priced. No rush to pay, relaxed! Liked it, highly recommended

Always enjoy going here for dinner. The menu is innovative and the food is well presented and tastes delicious. The service is always good and you never feel rushed. Highly recommend if you want great views and a thoroughly delicious meal.

We did not have a booking but were given a beautiful window table. Loved the food. Had few beers. My experience was elevated by the wonderful friendly professional staff, from the man who gave us our table to the waiter, and waitress who served us. So so nice to have friendly staff it made our day and I highly recommend this restaurant...

Excellent dining experience. Superb service. All dishes were true Scottish food. Will return. Highly recommended.

Really good food and efficient service. Hidden away on first floor of hotel - not well advertised from Princes Street otherwise I would expect it to be much busier. Not the cheapest but very good value for money. Would recommend.

Great atmosphere, food, drink and service. Lovely views. Would recommend.

Superb view, real scottish food, staff a little too busy
