Whiski Rooms in Edinburgh, City of

Perfect place for fine British food and awesome drinks. Ended up going twice because it was so good! First time we had dinner and drinks. I ordered the salmon, which was delicious. Their drinks menu has lots of choices, all of them superbly crafted. Second time we went in just for drinks while we waited for the Makars mash bar reservation. It was great too!

Very nice people, good whisky experience

4.5 is not justified….for us it is one of the number 1 in Edinburgh….a real treat…everything was perfect…mention +++ for the Scotch eggs…the Heggis and the beef casserole… The dessert is very good, a little bit sweet for us… The waitresses were very pleasant…don’t miss this address

This restaurant was brilliant - just off the royal mile with a lovely view from where we sat of princes street and the Scott Monument. The service was possibly the best I've experienced, very prompt and polite. The salmon dish was gorgeous and very much worth the money, as were the drinks. All round a really positive experience at a lovely restaurant!

Came in for some scottish classic dishes then returned for dessert. It was all amazing, as was the service. No waiting for lunch on a Saturday! Highly recommended!!

Delicious Scottish food and drinks

Very touristy restaurant in the heart of the city. Nice food, reasonable prices. Mediocre and impersonal atmosphere

Best ever Old Fashion I've had.

Magnificent restaurant in the central area of ​​Edinburgh. We went there based on recommendations on websites and it did not disappoint. We were 6 people and we were in an area as reserved, although we had not previously reserved a table. We had a wonderful meal, and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend it for lunch or dinner.

My wife and I celebrated her birthday here and it was perfect food excellent Great service and staff

Great food and service. An excellent whisky list with a highly knowledgeable staff who gave great recommendations. A definite stop for my next visit to Edinburgh.

Amazing food even if you don’t drink! Mick our waiter was super chill and the food was delicious. Clean plates all round. Fantastic Haggis!

Great restaurant with friendly service and delicious food. Definitely recommend the haggis spring rolls and the trio of salmon starters and the salmon main. Busy restaurant but accommodated us being late due to cancelled train. Highly recommended.

It was quite empty so the atmosphere was very cold, Food was amazing can’t fault it we got the haggis Burger and venison loin but they charged us 12.5% discretionary service which would’ve been fine if they informed us but they didn’t seem to mention it at all and we were unsure what it was until after payment, felt quite sneaky really

The food was lovely, staff were incredibly attentive and friendly.

Everything was super good, large selection of whiskeys and the dishes were excellent although a little expensive

Super lunsj og super service. Ekstremt god mat og drikke. Her har det lille ekstra som de andre ikke har. Vi ramlet inn her ved en tilfeldighet, men anbefales på det sterkeste av alle oss 8.

Tuvimos una tarde maravillosa en la sala de Whiski - -gran menú -personal encantador, amable - excelentes cócteles y cócteles

Excellent food. Good value. Staff were pleasant and helpful.

We don't mind tipping for good service. However, just to add 12.5% to the bill and put the word discretionary against is... it puts people into an awakward position.. On this occasion, the staff actually did themselves out of a better tip...

Great reception. Very attentive staff without being intrusive. Great food and drink. Thoroughly recommend this restaurant.

Good restaurant close to Royal Mile. Food is not excellent but there is a wide choice of whisky flights to accompany food, coming from twin shop next door.

Wonderful restaurant - classy, delicious traditional yet modernised Scottish inspired food. Just wonderful. Great ambience and inspired staff. Rare these days. Thank you!

Lacked atmosphere, sat by the window on our own. It was cold and service was impersonal

Good whiskey and beer, but are the opening hours wrong?

Really enjoyed our evening here. Good food, lovely surroundings & wonderful service from Mick. Nothing was too much to ask. I’m a bit of a fussy eater & Mick was accommodating. It was very relaxing. Than you

Lovely supper and warm friendly service. Thank you.

Excellent. Table was ready when we arrived. Food was great. We had haggis spring roll to start. Then a dry-aged steak, steak pie, and whiski burger. Everything good and great service.

My wife and I really enjoyed our time in the restaurant. The waiter was very helpful and gave great advice and helped with choices of whiskey. The food was delicious, and we weren’t rushed at all. A great experience and would definitely recommend and return ourselves.

Really good burgers, and fabulous chips! My husband loved the local beer. Great service. Was initially worried it would be too much of a ‘tourist trap’ but very pleasantly surprised!

Tuvimos una gran experiencia en las salas de whiski la comida era increíble y nuestro camarero León era muy servicial. Sin duda recomendaría.

Wow what a nice place and food is amazing hat off to the chef

Lovely restaurant with a fantastic selection of whiski!! The vegetarian haggis is to die for. Try the herb mash, you won't regret it

First time visiting the Whiski Rooms, but certainly won’t be the last. Great service, extensive Whisky menu and although not an extensive wine selection, the Primitivo we chose was excellent and complemented our dinner choices of Haggis Spring Rolls (incredible) Lamb Shoulder and Venison Loin (also amazing!). Great service, great ambience and the quality of the food speaks for itself as well as the portions being generous. We had a lovely and romantic evening at Whiski Rooms and look forward to visiting again in the future.

I had haggis, chips, and a whiskey cocktail. Everything was really good, and oh my, it was my first time having such a whiskey cocktail. The taste of the whiskey was amazing!

One of my favorite places in Edinburgh… love the vibe

The food was good staff were friendly. I was in this restaurant on Friday with a group of friends for lunch. The haggis was delicious 😋. I paid for my food the guy behind the bar said to me there's 40 pounds still owed. So I called my friends back and the guy behind the bar said there's a voluntarily cover charge on the bill that we were told all the waiter's put them on the bill that is outrageous and shocking.

Very nice place, it was our first dinner in Edinburgh. A little bit pricey but the atmosphere is warm and the food is good.

Called in for lunch and we weren’t disappointed. Lovely pint of IPA and a glass of Sauvignon blanc. We ate the Cullen Skink and BLT which were delicious. Staff were friendly and attentive without hovering over us. We’ll definitely be back.

Delicious food, very good service and great ambiance.

Steak was good, fish and chips ok, peas too salty. excellent service from some of them

I booked at this establishment following a good review on the internet regarding the Haggis. The setting is very well designed and my wife and I were seated at a table with a view of Edinburgh, great! The decoration is very well chosen, very cozy. The staff are charming. Except the waitress we had. Unfriendly, bad advice, asks if the Haggis is well cooked, answer, it's a Scottish dish so cook the same thing everywhere and so on. Expensive prices for the quality on the plate.

Had booked for hogmany celebrations as I have been in for dinner a few times and have never had a bad experience. I paid my table for 4 in November in person, however received 3 emails stating that they were still looking for payment. Two of the three emails did state to ignore if already paid, however one didn't which I was concerned about and had to contact the Whiski rooms to advise them. The night in question!!! Food was ok??? Couldn't rave about it. I had the seabass and didn't enjoy it at all. Was very salty, fish overcooked, vegetables raw. Wasn't overly impressed by the cheese and biscuits either..Cheese was rubbery and crackers were disgusting however the chutney was nice. The atmosphere!!! There was none. For a New Year celebration the atmosphere was very flat. I believe the owners like Jazz music however the choice of music for a New Year celebration added to the flat atmosphere. The restaurant emptied before the bells and we were one of these tables who chose to go back to the hotel and toast the new year in our room. As a place that I would frequent when in Edinburgh which is approximately 4/5 times a year I'm afraid I won't be back. I had high hopes on doing something different on hogmany and saved to be able to enjoy my New Year. Money wasted.

Had a lovely meal here, a great place for an introduction to traditional Scottish food and whiskeys. Our waitress was great and was a lovely setting. We had Cullen Skink & tiger prawns to start. Haggis and Scottish Salmon as mains. All were tasty. Followed by the introduction whiskey flight. It was on the more expensive side, but as a new year's day treat we enjoyed ourselves! Would recommend.

Whisky and chocolate tasting this afternoon with Stephen as our host. It was brilliant. Stephen is extremely knowledgeable and takes you on an excellent adventure of tasting great regional whisky s, paired with chocolates. Highly recommend this experience to others

Great location. Great food Great service Was a brilliant experience in Edinburgh

What a knowledgeable and very helpful gentleman was Mick and all the staff in general! Popped in for a wee nightcap and was pleasantly surprised by the distinct knowledge and overall warm feeling being in such a quality establishment. Highly recommended for anyone looking for knowledgable people who know whisky and not at a crazy price, in fact very reasonable considering the proximity to central Edinburgh. If you’re looking for a dram, this is the spot.

Lots of choice for whiskey, excellent service. We had a cheese board, which was not very special.

An excellent meal with a knowledgeable and helpful team of staff. The food was impeccable, delicious and beautifully presented, and the alcove where were seated was pleasantly quiet which made the entire meal a lovely experience.

We had a nice table by the window. Staff were excellent as was the food. I would highly recommend a visit.

Great whisky tasting and occasion Would definitely revisit

We had an amazing time - have been more than once and the service and quality of food (steak!) was excellent and value for money. Our waiter Luca was fantastic, he really looked after us and made a fuss of my other half whose birthday it was. Thankyou so much Luca! We look forward to coming again.

Friendly staff, good food and a nice atmosphere. Location is very good too with a nice view over Princess Street gardens.

Amazing selection of whiskies and a few draught beers

We had a lovely dinner . We had a front table and had a great conversation, dinner and laughs. Old fashions was excellent. Whisky flight was great.

A superb spot. Don’t be put off by the tourists, the food is absolutely top class. Well worth a visit

Lovely warm welcome from Allister and the team. Great menu choices and fantastic food served by a professional and friendly team. A big thank you to everyone, especially Allister for a great experience. Highly recommended.

Unfortunately, we didn’t get a chance to try their food. The owner or manager—I'm not sure who—was quite rude and told us that they were full in an unpleasant manner (and I'm not easily offended, but I could sense a hostile attitude). There were actually three empty tables. In the end, we waited for 30 minutes at a restaurant nearby. We would have been willing to wait if they had offered us to do so. Anyways good luck with such an attitude.

We come here regularly and the food, service, atmosphere (and drams!) are always spectacular. Sage regularly serves us and she is always super friendly and knowledgeable. All staff are wonderful and a true asset. We will be back again very soon!

Great restaurant. The food was amazing. I also loved the 'Smokey' Auld Fashioned cocktail. Fabulous

We visit Edinburgh for a couple of days to experience the Christmas atmosphere. Part of this experience has to be the Whiski Rooms. Set just down from the Royal Mile, it is a fantastic dining experience. We selected the festive menu, both selected the pate, which was delicious, and then we had the Ox Cheek and the Turkey dinner, with Crumble and Panacotta to finish. All complimented by an excellent bottle of Malbec. I usually finish with a whisky from their excellent selection, but I had no more room to fit this in. Everything about the evening was superb, and the staff contributed to the experience. Thanks to all at the Whiski Rooms, particularly the chef who excelled himself. See you all next year.

Gikk tilfeldigvis forbi og booket et bord her senere på kvelden. Maten var fantastisk og lokalet var fint. Anbefaler denne plassen 😊

3 meals ordered 2 unfinished both totally unacceptable

Stopped here for lunch on a cold, wet day in Edinburgh, so was very glad of this cosy restaurant. The food was delicious, and the service by Lucas was excellent. Will definitely be back.

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..👍

we were two couples meeting in Edinburgh and we ate in this wonderful establishment, the food was quite magnificent, I could recommend the Venison loin, the also have a good selection of wines. The atmosphere was great and the views across Edinburgh from its elevated position stunning - I will be back - our hosts were Ugnius and Amanda and they looked after us well

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 !

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

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.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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!

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.

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

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

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.

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

The food and service is wonderful.

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

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

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

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!

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!

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

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.

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.
