The best restaurants in Scotland

Excellent valve lunch menu with paired wines. Friendly attentive service and unstuffy atmosphere. We loved it

A fabulous Christmas meal, with efficient and friendly service. Just what we've come to expect from the Salt and Barrel. It never disappoints. Well done everybody.

Popped in for a quick lunch and got a warm welcome, lovely meal and the best hot chocolate I've ever had. Staff were lovely and had a good chat. Prices are great too. All in all, will be back again and again

Brilliant. Lovely service from Shevaun, cosy atmosphere, tasty food with lots of flavour and just a generally great place.

cool, but it’s closed 😉 without any info

I wandered into this little treasure of a cafe by chance. It’s quite tucked away but well worth the effort. Friendly and engaging staff take a real interest in visitors. The bacon sandwich was fresh and generously filled. Also a great range of homemade cakes and tray bakes. A bright, peaceful and calm atmosphere with a wonderful view of the river and passers-by. Highly recommended and would visit again! Well done team HH 🙂👍🏽

Excellent thoughtful dishes in a beautiful setting. The wine pairings were great and the service was attentive and friendly.

Excellent service as always from Roddy and the team for yet another buffet order. Delicious food and perfectly wrapped to accommodate allergies. The sausage rolls and leek & cheese quiches are a must! Thanks again.

We've been on a lookout for a good vegan burger for months - well we finally found it! Incredibly delicious, super flavourful, tucked away in a little colourful corner. Well worth a visit and do try the shawarma and the pretzel bun burger, your taste buds will be grateful!

Epic from start to finish never had a bad meal from here. We travel from Glasgow just for the tacos on the regular because there so good.

If you're looking for the best soups in Edinburgh, look no further than Iona Cafe! Their soups are simply outstanding – fresh, hearty, and bursting with flavor. Perfect for a chilly Edinburgh day, they offer a variety that caters to every taste, from classic lentil, mushroom to unique seasonal specials. The warm and welcoming atmosphere, paired with friendly service, makes it a top spot in the market. Highly recommend stopping by for a bowl of comfort!

Delicious, filling, good price and friendly staff. Couldn’t ask for anything more than that. Good restaurant. Thank you

Called in very late night early morning on night out. We were the only ppl in the whole time. Two staff members working. No food sitting ready going cold so it was prepped fresh. Polite service and we werent rusged away as we sat and ate. Basic night out food

We loved this place. The coffee was excellent and so was the cake. The service was friendly and efficient and there was plenty of easily accessible cold free water. Interesting stuff on the shelves too. Highly recommended.

Nice place, nice coffee and scones. Very limited menu, no Scottish breakfast, for example. No lunches, just cakes. Also full of original art, various sizes, pretty decent too.
