Whiskers Wine Cafe in Edinburgh, City of

Popped in for lunch purely by chance and oh so glad we did. Food was amazing and service very friendly. Only negative was that it was rather cold but there was a fan heater placed by our table. This won’t put us off returning when next in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this restaurant.

Amazing food, great service. Best Sunday roast in Edinburgh

The best food I’ve ever tasted. Amazing chefs and a place with a great choice of wines.

Very good Sunday roast!! Added bonus for me was the gluten free yorkshires :) We had a lovely evening and thank you to the waitress with the blonde hair for being so helpful and friendly. We’ll be back.

Fantastic roast dinner with amazing service! The gluten free Yorkshire pudding was 10/10 & the staff were very accommodating. Will definitely be back

A bit expensive but worth it. A good selection of wines and nice food. The quality makes it worth spending a bit more

Amazing lunch deal! Food was delicious and so was the wine! Will be back

Always have a good time when we dine here. Excellent wine list.

Popped in for a drink and was really impressed with the drinks menu. Top class wine and top class service.

Great little gem! Food was superb, and service was efficient and friendly at the same time.

Wow!! this is a lovely restaurant with a great menu and delicious food and wine. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Definitely due return visits.

Not a good experience. Food arrived Luke warm and one meal was cold in the middle. Wine very expensive compared to other places.

Lovely evening, great service and delicous food

A nice place to relax and have wine, very knowledgeable about the wine you have just ordered

Totally desapointing. This is a warning for all potential customers. We had a reservation for 8.45. Had to give card number to secure the reservation. No problem with that. We had done it with several restaurants around the world. However, about 20 minutes before the time of our reservation,we called and asked them if we could arrive 30 minutes later, since one of us had a health issue and couldn't get ready on time. They said that the kitchen closes at 9 so it was impossible. Then we told them that we wouldn't be able to come, they just thanked us for letting them know, and that was all. Nobody said anything about a cancellation fee. Nothing was mentioned at the site as well. When we emailed them to ask about it, they told us that we should have read the terms and conditions before ticking the box. Well, that was a first timer for us, since we have travelled all over the world and nothing like that has ever happened. Be careful dear people. They have found an easy way to make money, and you will be the victims. Just make sure you won't get ill, have a flight delay or feel sick 24 hours before the reservation...

Excellent food, excellent vine and great service! A real treat. Thank you

Delicious food, excellent wine menu and helpful staff. Will be back

Our group of friends all enjoyed our lunch here - 2 courses for £21, with plenty of choice. This was about our usual budget, but the wine was not, being somewhat on the expensive side. We prefer not to have music playing, but this was at an acceptable volume, so we could still have a conversation. It was quite quiet on the day we were there, but I imagine when busy it would be very noisy, as yet again there were no soft furnishings to absorb noise. Why do restaurants think this is acceptable? I would definitely recommend Whiskers for the food and the service.

Lovely place to stop for a drunk and some lite bites. Extensive wine menu along with some craft beers

Fun, unique, experienced based wine list. 10/10 menu - food was to die for. Service as if at a 5* restaurant. Couldn’t recommend this place more highly! Perfect date night or a memorable night out.

Had a BRILLIANT Sunday roast here last weekend with the whole family. Sis & I are veggie but they gave us amazing aubergine with all the usual veg trimmings. Was delicious and the meat eaters loved theirs too. Excellent value for money and wonderful staff who were attentive and shared their passion for good wine and good food. Deffo will be returning!

Great food, highly recommended 👌

La comida riquísima. Muy buena atención

Amazing!! Perfect wine and very good food!!!

Honestly lovely place, food was great and good service. However, we witnessed one of the service staff being berated in a demeaning way by what appeared to be his supervisor. That staff member was doing a fine job and did not deserve to be treated that way. Left me and my partner with a sour experience.

Really good food, very friendly staff. I was disappointed that the vegetarian roast option didn’t come with the same sides as the meat roasts, even though the Yorkshire pudding etc was vegetarian. I also wasn’t told that the veggie wellington wasn’t part of the Sunday lunch 2 course deal so was surprised by that in the bill, especially because they were out of the only vegetarian option that was included. A shame about these couple of things because the food was very good. Edit: Thanks for replying to me. However, I asked the waiter who checked with the kitchen and was specifically told that the Yorkshire Pudding was suitable for vegetarians. I then had some from my mum's meal so I very much hope it was actually vegetarian as I was told. I also looked at the bill and as separate starter and main it was £2 more expensive than the set menu. £2 is a small amount and not really worth quibbling over, however it was more expensive and wasn't communicated that it wasn't part of the set menu.

Excellent food, wine and Service; recommend it unreservedly J Hempel

Lovely atmosphere and lovely wine served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

A Turkey dinner in lovely surroundings and attentive staff We really rate this Bistro

Superb food, fun knowledgeable staff

Absolutely delicious! Everything was spot on

Stumbled across this little gem. We enjoyed an amazing Sunday lunch

I could give less stars but I don't want to because we all had a great time, the atmosphere was lovely and the food was top quality. It started really well. My sister and her husband ordered two non alcoholic beers that they loved. Spiced milk stouts. I had the oysters to start and they were lush. So creamy. Everyone else in my party seemed to love their starters too. Our servers were polite and friendly and some amazing smells were coming out of that kitchen. One downside was that I ordered the artichoke main course and it arrived in a coffee sauce I really didn't like. It tasted proper burnt. I was so sad because I love artichoke and coffee but this sauce was not okay, the carbony flavour had tainted everything. I don't believe it was supposed to taste like that. My sister said she could smell it and it wasn't good. The waiter made me feel a bit like it was my fault. :( Maybe it was my taste buds? Anyways, they remade it without the sauce and it was sooo much better. Delicious in fact. The hazelnuts were amazing with it and I borrowed some of my mums peppercorn sauce from her steak which blended so well, all sweet and creamy. 👌. It did mean everyone had finished when I got my food. And when we got dessert menus they took so long to get to us that we decided to get the bill and go home. Overall we had a good time but with the price we paid service could be a bit more prompt, I hate to be rushed but when you need something it shouldn't take too long to find someone to help. Also food that is not prepared to the customers expectation should be easily fixed without question (perhaps you should say caramelised coffee on the menu if the sauce is supposed to taste that carbony). The food IS good though and you can't discount a great ambiance.

We had Confit duck leg and it wa the best food we had during our whole stay in Edinburgh! It was the best. Lovely place, must go!

The lamb was great. This was my favorite meal during my week in Edinburgh.

Great place for a date night, lunch or a be early dink

Fabulous food, fabulous staff and brilliant atmosphere- 100% recommend Jonnie Cook and his team - just wonderful!

One of Edinburgh's best kept secrets. Wonderful wines, fabulous food, friendly staff, and a great vibe all round.

Excellent food and service. Great quality and delicious tasting too.

Enjoyed lunch, cheesecake to die for😋

We had the loveliest time grazing on small dishes from the menu, and a nice pinot Grigio. Great service, delicious food and not to be missed.

Great food, great service with a nice relaxed vibe

Amazing food and wine, our first visit and really impressed!

Had a fantastic meal at Whiskers on Friday afternoon with 6 other friends. Food excellent and service by Johnny amazing. Choice of lunch menu terrific

Quiet relaxed atmosphere. Chilled music and helpful staff

Always great food, and wine to match. Never disappointed with service either definitely worth a visit

Had s lovely evening meal here with my hubby last evening in Edinburgh. Staff friendly, lovely clean place, good atmosphere. Food was amazing, the gnocchi is the best I've had !! was worth the wait.

Amazing quality for this price and super friendly staff! Thanks a lot

The pork and black pudding scotch egg and steak and chips were quite filling. Strawberry cheesecake is tasty without being overwhelming.

We went two nights in a row! Delicious and beautifully presented food. Lovely service. Highly recommend!

The food was great and the serve was excellent. My husband ate the cod and i ate the salm

Amazing food. Been here 3 times loved it so much. For Lunch: Chicken Liver (sounds gross but is amazing) and the sugar roasted pork is best. Also, the Coley (fish) is amazing! Highly recommend. For dinner: The lamb shoulder is probably the best. The cod is amazing too. Highly recommend getting two entrees and splitting with your partner.

Amazing lunch, friendly staff and creative, tasteful dishes. Excellent quality for the price!

Fab restaurant very diseaving from the outside. Wine was great had the Melot. STEAK OMG PERFECT. Us the best oysters I've had so far xx

Very lovely pre Christmas lunch here with my parents.

Absolutely blown away by the quality of the food. Incredible value, 5 star food without having to pay 5 star prices. Highly recommend!!

Delicious food, great service and nice ambiance.

1st time at Whiskers Wine Bar & Bistro with family on Saturday 20th November. Service welcoming, friendly and professional with food dishes and wines described in detail. Cosy atmospheric restaurant where you relaxed immediately on being seated. A party of 4, we ordered 2 cheese souffle, sour dough bread with balsamic and 6 oysters, cheese souffle to die for and everything fresh and delicious! We had a sirloin, fillet steak dish with trimmings and 2 lamb shank falling of the bone, beautiful! My husband is a seasoned steak man and took time over his fillet steak as best he ever had...a true compliment .it was not just the main dish but the peppercorn sauce...my so said he could easily almost drink it, creamy in texture, not harsh like others and a light consistency. After having 2 bottles of wine, one a rich malbec which we would have had again but last bottle and apologies but my son ordered the second after advice which was also full bodied and delicious. For desert, being full we ordered 2 lemon sorbet, lively palet cleanser and delicious plus 1 icecream, yum. To finish, the flat white coffee did not disappoint and both my husband and son had long island cocktail...we cannot rate this establishment high enough and will be back as we were in Edinburgh for the rugby international against Japan a lovely end to a great day.Thankyou to the whole team at Wonderful Whiskers!

Delicious breakfast, good coffee, friendly staff, and just a great start to our day. Thank you.

Lovely lunch! Excellent quality local dishes prepared with care. Mussels were as standout as was sea bass. Great, thoughtful service.

Excellent food. An interesting and varied menu. Wine list very extensive and far from pedestrian. Good vibe on Friday Evening.

amazing menu selections, delicious food and exceptional presentation. The Pigs Cheeks were a highlight of our dining experience. A must if you visit Edinburgh.

Came here last night for a drink with my partner. The service was lovely, as was the wine! Would 100% return to try a few more different glasses and the cheese!

Fab steak night! Service excellent.

Lovely meal, excellent service and relaxed atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing restaurant. Gorgeous place, fantastic service and delicious food. Also tables nicely spaced so felt safe. Fantastic experience from start to finish.

Excellent food in a very cosy and relaxing setting. We had the mackerel and trout for starters, and cod and sole for mains. Everything was great but the cod was the highlight!

Delicious Sunday Roast & absolutely delighted to have a gluten free Yorkshire pudding - a huge one! Fantastic service from friendly, knowledgeable staff as always!

Beautiful food and very friendly staff.

Bella and the manager where great hosts. Thank you for the welcome

Great appreciation and accomodation of food intolerances,much appreciated and will return for one of those delicious looking Sunday Roasts

Lovely little place, good ambience, music wasn't to our taste but it wasn't loud. Good value Sunday roast on offer this evening. Very good quality. Would go again. Friendly professional staff

We enjoyed Sunday lunch for a very reasonable price. The food was absolutely delicious. Everything was very fresh and flavours where so good! Everything is locally sourced. Great wine selection too! Thank you! We will definitely be back! 🥰

Very good experience. The food is very good and so is the service.

Really friendly atmosphere, great food choices and drinks!

Exceed expectations. The food was quite expensive but the quality was really good as well. Excellent service , paying attention to the minimum details.

Lovely food, lovely venue and great bottle of Chardonnay, even if it cost an arm and a leg - but it was worth it for a first meet up with the Malaga Chicas. It's been too long

The best Sunday roast and fab value, service was great.

Gorgeous food for a great price. Staff were friendly and although they were super busy there wasn’t too much of a wait for anything. Definitely recommend

Very nice place am yet to try a proper meal but the menu looks really good, comfy environment and friendly people working there

Popped in for Sunday lunch food was lovely and great friendly staff Our one gripe was could have done with more meat on plate and less Yorkshire pudding

Lovely food and great service at a reasonable price

Visited Whiskers yesterday for a lovely Sunday Roast. Choice of lamb or beef. Food was really good as was the service. Lovely leisurely pace which is how Sunday lunch should be. Tables well spaced and sanitiser in full view felt very safe.

Very good wines with knowledge staff. Some reasonably priced bottles in the mix too.

Delicious food and friendly service, also good value. If anything though, the portions were a bit too big.

Absolutley amazing meal with friends. Staff fantastic, food gorgeou and it all felt very safe with covid restrictions. Well done Whiskers another wonderful evening had by all. Thank you

We hadn't booked Whiskers but managed to get a table for lunch while enjoying a wander around Stockbridge. Nice decor and tables well-spaced. Although we waited a good while for our starters (the restaurant was quite busy for a lunchtime), we were not disappointed when they did come. Both the Smoked Salmon Tartare and Chicken Pate were amazing - visually appealing and so very tasty. For mains we both chose Steak & Chips, and again we were not disappointed. The steak was cooked to perfection (medium rare) and complemented well by the garlic butter. We liked the fact the chef had sliced the steak, making it very appealing to look at. The triple-cooked chips were delicious and creamy. A very enjoyable lunch experience and we would definitely recommend Whiskers.

A really excellent lunch - delicious scotch egg with celeriac purée followed by damson crumble. Service was charming.

Fantastic! We booked a table for Sunday lunch, both having 2 courses for £20.For starters we both opted for the butternut squash soup with bread which was great. The roast beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and seasonal veg was absolute delicious! And a big portion too :) My partner as a veggie had the vegetarian option of lasagna which again, was delicious! The staff and service were both fantastic, honestly cannot speak highly enough of our visit. I 100% recommend a visit if you are in the area :) I’m gutted I won’t get another one of their Sunday lunches unless we are back in Edinburgh. Thank you for great food and service!

2nd time here, and still haven't got round to trying the food (think I'll wait until everything has settled down and try then).Opted for the BTG menu (nice touch is it's on the board as well as in the menu - assume covid reasons). Ordered a nice Reisling and wanted an Alberino (turned out to be a really popular wine as they'd sold out), instead the barman offered an equally good Pecorino.Service was good and the staff were friendly. Looking forward to coming back!

Really tasty lunch, great staff.

Can’t believe what a hidden gem this place is. All three courses are amazing. Highly recommend the Chicken Charlotte Pudding.

Having been to Whiskers for both lunch and dinner recently, I have to say that it was quite impressive. The food is very good and is served by friendly and attentive staff. The restaurant has enough room for diners to be well spaced out while retaining a relaxing ambience.
