Whiski Rooms in Edinburgh, City of

Great place to pit stop for a drink to warm your cockles with a fine whiskey didnt try the food but the guy on the next table had a burger and it looked the dogs bollocks great atmosphere, friendly staff and they’ve got a shop so if theres a bottle of whisky you fancy you'll find it there highly recommend..👍

It was good and the setting was great but the vegetables were poorly prepared (still the tails of the beans, the roots of the carrots and it was very very crunchy). Please note 10% service fee at the end

Had a fabulous meal. The steak pie was delicious and all members of our party enjoyed their meals. The restaurant was cosy and welcoming and the service outstanding. Can’t wait to go back !

This was a great introduction into Scottish cuisine. Started off with the Cullen Skink, a hearty portion of smoked haddock and leek chowder. This was followed by Haggis, Neeps and Tatties in a whiskey sauce, which I’d highly recommend - the haggis had a crumbly texture to it, and was a little salty but that balanced off well against the neeps and tatties mash and boozy whiskey sauce. Service from Margi and Lukasz was spot on - they gave good recommendations regarding whiskey tasting and were very attentive and welcoming.

Hadnt realised it was card payment only which didnt suit us as we had saved and brought cash ...we like the choice!.....food fabulous

My wife an I are on our honeymoon, exploring Edinburgh and were looking for a place with steak and whiskey. They have that and then some. In addition, our server Lucas was absolutely amazing. He took immaculate care of us and was magnificent. Great banter. Great suggestions for our travels. Very good food. And an enormous selection of whiskey, as well as flights. Cannot reccomend this place enough, especially if you're lucky to have Lucas as your server. Sláinte.

Very nice restaurant with kind staff. Salmon starter was delicious! Fish and chips was just okay, peas didn’t have any seasoning and were just plain peas. Whiski old fashioned was nice. Noted there was a birthday on our reservation but none of the staff mentioned it. Probably wouldn’t go again for food but maybe for a cocktail.

Really good place to eat close to motel one Less than 10min walk .

Cozy, delicious and a friendly staff! We really enjoyed our dinner.

We had a wonderful evening at whiski room. Our waiter Lucas was brilliant and very polite. Greetings from germany

100% recommended to drink whatever you want but especially whiskey. With 2 or 3 questions the staff gives you some very accurate recommendations.

Unfortunately my main was not to my satisfaction as the carrots were almost raw. Otherwise our meal was excellent

I can see why the whisky lovers amongst us enjoy this place, so much choice. Our server was lovely and dealt with a food issue with good grace, I appreciated that. Was disappointed not to have Christmas dinner as I hadn't ordered in advance. I wish this had been made clear on the website or at booking, I was very disappointed. My companion had been before and said the atmosphere was usually warmer so I'll give it another go.

Lovely restaurant with lots of historical bits and pieces to look at. Staff were lovely and overall we had a really enjoyable meal

We had deer and it was lovely. The restaurant is cute and cozy. The staff were not really friendly, I expected a better customer service from a restaurant like this (considering the price, etc)

We had a lovely time at the Whiski Rooms lovely service from Lucas and had a good laugh and amazing food would definitely recommend to friends and come back myself when visiting Edinburgh

great caring staff large meals great service good drinks

Lovely meal in the restaurant tonight. We were a table of three and we each chose different meals from the menu and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food. The service was excellent and the ambience in the restaurant was just right. We had a table looking out towards princes street and it was lovely looking out over the Christmas lights.

Me and my partner ate here for a special occasion and loved it! The staff were awesome and welcomed us with a glass as fizz as we were on our honeymoon! The food was excellent and would highly recommend!

For very good food, good atmosphere and lots of whisky and great staff; ; this is the place to be.

If you want to eat haggis, you get a plate with mashed potatoes with a ball of shredded haggis on top, surrounded by a layer of whiskey sauce. A real delicacy, just like the Fish & Chips, macaroni and a chicken dish that we ordered there. Our host there was Lucas. Lucas also gave the explanation at the Whiskey tasting, it looked impressive, given the expressions of some people.

Loved the scottish food. Exceptional whiskeys to choose from. Great service and a wonderful location

Lovely location and great food. Staff were excellent. I'll go back..

The food and service is wonderful.

We were there for my husbands birthday. All of us loved the food and the atmosphere. Great place. We all Loved it.

Just wanted a drink in a fun pub. Wrong place. All table service and a bit snooty.

An excellent meal- we had the chateaubriand and we said it was the best one we had ever had. Delicious! In particular the accompanying peppercorn sauce was superb!

Wonderful location with the helpfull service and great food. The best haggis I ever had! And the pie was outstanding.

This restaurant has been a favourite of ours for years when we have visited Edinburgh, but this time we were disappointed, the menu has changed and the food not as good and meals were cold. The vegetarian haggis was disappointing with no vegetables ie neeps! Very disappointing this time unfortunately

Had a lovely meal at whiski rooms last night, great food and service, was a little loud in there but there was a few xmas parties in so to be expected, overall excellent

Food, atmosphere and service all perfect My favourite restaurant in Edinburgh

I had dinner here for my birthday. I ordered the scotch pie and veg. It was lovely. The staff were friendly and they were not rushing me or my husband out, which I really like in a restaurant. We could take our time. Also, once they knew it was my birthday, they gave me and my husband a free shot of whisky!

I was very disappointed with the service at this restaurant, especially considering its high rating. We ordered three sharings and beers first, followed by the main dishes. However, the waiter completely forgot our sharing order and brought out the main dishes first. To make matters worse, the sharings were only served at the end, without so much as an apology. This kind of inattentive service and lack of professionalism is unacceptable for a restaurant of this caliber. It overshadowed the experience, and I hope the management addresses such issues to maintain their reputation.

The food was alright, but the staff was horribly rude.

Lovely dark atmosphere with plenty of interesting decor to catch the eye. Good drinks and food choices with matching recommendations. I had Steak Pie, Chips and a medley of veg. with a huge pastry top. 8/10, too much pastry and chips not hot enough. Gravy was great, lots of steak, crunchy veg. and highly evocative of childhood mealtimes.

Absolutely brilliant great food and wonderful service. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍

Great restaurant and service. We had the haggis and the lamb which were both amazing.. .

Lovely Scotch steak pie & haggis. Service was pretty good. Nice relaxed vibe.

This was a great find. If you like whisky, this is a place for you. Great selection and a choice of different whisky's selections to try. Both the Haggis neeps and tatties and Scottish Salmon were both amazing. A real gem, would definitely visit again.

Restaurant was cold, tables close together, food lukewarm, small portions, quite expensive

A whiskey bar with a pretty good tasting menu. In one section there is a shop with a wide variety of whiskey. thank you

The place was great! We personally didn’t like the haggis bc it’s not for us but the steak was delicious.

The whisky flight is a must with plenty of choices (region, style, etc) and for different budgets. Classic haggis dish were great too. There was a nice ambiance and as the sun set the Christmas lights really made the place look beautiful and cozy. The staff was friendly and I’d return to this place next time I’m in Edinburgh. One pet peeve of mine, they charge for extra crackers(£1.50), which is annoying as they don’t give you enough with the cheese board to begin with. Just put a few more crackers on the board and charge the extra £ on the menu straight away.

Nice restaurant with delicious food and great staff. We had roast breast of chicken, scotch steak pie, whiski’s fish and chips and whiski’s burger. All 4 dishes very tasty and good portions. The waiters were professional, attentive and skilled. We wholeheartedly recommend it, as we had a great time.

Charming setting with wonderful food and friendly service.

Really happy we pre-booked this spot, it is very close to Royal Mile but away from crowds. Food and service was of excellent quality, great ambiance and... bonus they have a great kids menu. I'll wholeheartedly recommend this to friends!

Disappointed with the change in menu. Missed not being able to get a steak option that used to me on.

Lovely restaurant and great staff. Highly recommended place to eat.

There are two separate rooms: one for drinks, and another for food and drinks, plus a dedicated area with souvenirs and liquors. I was there to eat, and I really enjoyed the atmosphere. The service was good and fast. If you want to try local food, the haggis spring rolls are a must! They were delicious, flavorful, and fresh. For the main course, I ordered the Beef Scottish Pie, which was an excellent choice. The meat was tender, juicy, and served in the perfect portion. You can choose your side; I went with the mashed potatoes—not the best, but still good. I’ll definitely come back for some drinks next time!"

Oct 28th walk in - Food was top notch. Lamb shoulder was one of the best meals I've ever had. Excellent selection of Whisky as you'd expect. Friendly and polite service - staff worked really hard. Very much welcomed the disclosure of the discretionary service charge by our host, unlike most other venues who slap it on and hope you don't notice! Therefore I had no issue in paying. Highly recommended!

Fabulous food, beautiful presentation. Good selection of drinks and the whisky flights are great.

Although Haggis is made from haggis, it doesn’t have any mutton smell at all, so don’t worry if you want to try it. The lamb chops were braised and delicious. The whiskey cocktail starts at 40 degrees, which I personally think is delicious. The service was really good. The waiter chatted with us for a long time and even gave us desserts. The price is 40 pounds per person for two people. The price is not cheap, but the service is really good. We are really happy. The service was really nice and the meal was delicious, honestly far exceeded my expectations and really surprised me!

My first experience eating Scottish food, delicious. I ordered the cullen skink, delicious, a hot whiskey cocktail to soften the cold. And the famous sticky toffee pudding dessert. Attentive and fast service.

The drinks were great and the food was almost as good as the service. A great respite in a very touristy area.

Very nice food and excellent service, would recommend.

Such a lovely experience whiskey tasting tonight. Very knowledgeable and not pretentious. Would recommend

Clean, calm place, where you can eat tasty vegan haggis. I recomend to take some ciders, there are really good. Gentle and kind service. I've enjoyed time here

Very friendly service and really delicious food. Everything here is prepared with different whiskeys in the sauce and this is also mentioned on the menu. The lamb shoulder was really tender and delicious!! We went there twice during our trip and would come back any time!!!

We had a great experience at the Whiski Rooms; would recommend

Very good restaurant if you want to taste local specialties with quality products and a subdued atmosphere!

We spent our last dinner in Edinburgh at the Whiski Rooms. We had the salmon, the lobster Mac and cheese, and the stake pie. It was all delicious, and the portions a were generous. The whiskey and cocktail offerings were good. The staff were friendly, helpful and quick. Overall a great experience that we would recommend to anyone.

Amazing place with the most excellent food.

Although the food was okay (not anything special but at least hot), we were charged a £10 tip without even asking. We felt like we were robbed, we won’t eat there again.

Nice bar-style restaurant with a large whiskey selection. Nice service, great haggis spring rolls as a starter.

Lovely bar and restaurant. Food was great as were the drinks. Large selection of whiskies as to be expected. Staff were friendly & happy to help in any way.

Stopped by here for lunch after exploring the Castle. Friendly staff and the food was very filling and tasty :) also seemed to be more reasonably priced than the other places around the Castle.

My husband salmon was some of our best after 5 nights in Edinburgh… my lamb was outstanding!! I went to cut it with a knife and did not need a knife because it broke apart with moisture the whole way through. Not a bit of excess fat or gristle to be found! We imbibed on the Island Flight of Whiskey as our finish. Easy to get in. Absolutely fabulous music mix and comfy seating. The food could not be beat! Clara was our server. Person that made the 🎶 mix seemed to be a mgr but was out helping tables

Great food was cooked perfectly and servers were very nice

I really enjoyed my dinner here. I had an Old Fashioned which was perfectly made and a scotch steak pie which was equally delicious. The staff was nice and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great too. They also have wonderful vegetarian options.

The place is delicious, very charming, the service is good and the food is great.

Great food, the environment is very chill and cozy. Had a great time

Bonne découverte. Plat bon et copieux On a partagé un "garlic bread" en entré, quatre belles tranches de pain. En plat on a testé le saumon et le fish and chips tout les deux très bien.

Had a nice whiskey tasting and then ate a delicious lamb dish. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere.

A fantastic spot to stop for a drink to get out of the rain. Ecclectic decor, homey coziness and friendly staff. Also, great to try a variety of whiskys!

It was our first time here, food and drinks were good overall. However, since everything on the menu sounds so exciting, we will appreciate more if we were given more time to look through the menu instead of being rushed to order. It felt like the staff who served us was rather pushy and impatient -- she came and asked twice if we were ready to order, we said we needed more time to think, so we suggested if we can order the starter first while we decide on the main, she said nope and just left abruptly. Understood that the restaurant was busy on a Saturday night, I guess if the staff wants to make sure we order as quickly as possible, she could also help by giving a bit more information about certain dishes instead of just saying "there are two different dishes".

Went for dinner with my wife and daughter had salmon for starter a bit over priced for what it was my wife had the same it was ok but nothing special Main course I had the fish and chips or whisky fish and chias it said on the menus (not been near a whisky) the fish was good but I counted 13 chips to accompany the fish My wife had the chicken burger and chips again sparse on the chips and my daughter had the Mac and cheese ( not much you can say about that ) during the meal my daughter wanted some water and as no one wanted to serve us we went up to the bar and asked At the end of the meal my daughter went to the loo and while she was there we were harassed as the wanted the table ( we weren’t even in the place a hour) Overall over priced it would have been cheeped to go to the five star restaurant in St Andrew square or the hotel at the east end of princess street whisky bar I guess its aimed at the one shot tourist that won’t be back My advice go somewhere else

The food was very tasty, the service was very good and the ambience was great. An all round successful visit!!!!

Nice place, perfect atmosphere and very good service.

Went with my mum and aunt, mum is coeliac. Both rated their food 10/10 (and are usually a little fussy). My burger was great, chips fluffy and generous portions. Beef burger slightly pink and tender, gluten free fish and chips crumbed batter lovely and crisp. Service very friendly and warm.

Fantastic food and service. We had steak pie and lamb shoulder. Both 10/10!!

Great meal as always at the Whiski Rooms. And great service too, also as usual. My wife and I had lunch today to celebrate a recent birthday, and both enjoyed our fish and chips and tasty desserts. The wee dram to wash it down was also excellent. Our waiter was attentive, funny and informative.

Amazing find. Serving late, after 8 when other restaurants had stopped serving. Quality and experience was excellent. Go here with confidence. We came for lunch the next day. Fantastic burgers!

This became our home-away-from-home restaurant and we loved it each time! Atmosphere and food were great. We lived the Auld Fashioned drink. And Sage took phenomenal care of us and was a highlight for us!

Great whiskey selection and great scottish food! Friendly service, reasonable prices and beautiful setting!

Beautiful meal here last night, we hadn’t booked and they were busy but still accommodated us, we were prepared for the 30 min wait on food, but they were so efficient we definitely didn’t have to wait this long. Food & drinks lovely and great staff. Highly recommend!

Recommended for people who want to compare Scotch whiskies. I thought it would be a bit strange to bring children, but surprisingly there was a kids menu so there was no problem. The location is just up the hill from the National Gallery of Scotland towards the Royal Mile. Advance reservations are required. The food is delicious, but the prices are a little high. We ordered haggis, spring rolls, fish and chips, and Caesar salad. From the kids menu, we ordered something like chicken nuggets and a set of chips.

Great spot for eating classic Scottish food. Fantastic gluten free options, very accommodating and tasty. Please be aware- this place was packed and definitely runs on the classic European timeframe for eating. Americans need to settle in and be prepared. The vibes were great, good music playing through the restaurant. All-in-all, definitely reccommend.

We choose to dine here for our 51st Anniversary . It was a great choice. Outstanding service and ambience .

Great Edinburgh restaurant with a more traditional decor. Upon arrival the staff did their utmost to make us feel comfortable and welcome. We therefore enjoyed the experience all the more....and considering we were celebrating two birthdays (waiters had no clue except two small badges worn) we were given two whiskies on the house which made it all the more special. If we are ever in Edinburgh again this will be the first port of call. Exemplary.

Been here 4 years ago already and when decided to come back to Edinburgh, my choice for food was here. All food was fresh, delicious and tasty

This is a place where you can enjoy sincere explanations from the staff and a delicious whiskey sampler at a reasonable price.

My best friend and I celebrated our 40th at Whiski Rooms and we were both very pleased with our meal, the service, and the overall ambiance. This was one of our favourite meals during our stay in Edinburgh.

Excellent menu near Royal Mile with more authentic Scottish experience and food options. Very satisfied with wine list and overall service. Chicken entree was incredibly tasty. Would go again.

Great experience, friendly staff, and a wide assortment of whisky. Oh, and you can also dine here.

The perfect restaurant for a themed whiskey flight! Thanks to the friendly and professional staff’s recommendations, my husband was able to enjoy whiskey tasting!

Amazing amazing amazing food! One of the best meal we had!

We went to this restaurant with high expectations, however the whole experience was rushed . The starters of onion rings and haggis spring roles where passable but they came out after just placing out order which seemed that they were pre-prepared ? Then I had shoulder blade (which was very tasty,) My partner had roasted chicken with mash - this was passable - the mash potatoes was very dry and horrible it came with a mushroom sauce which he didn’t like. Then we were asked to move as our table was booked (we were there for a hour and 10 mins!) do we decided to have the bill and go - at the bottom of the bill was a discretionary 10% surcharge… which I refused to pay - so check your bill and if happy then pay the 10% otherwise refuse .
