The best restaurants in Scotland

Just experienced top end steaks and sundries in the Uber Cool FINNIESTON. Been a couple of times but not recently. Perfect fillays with beef dripping fries and the legendary truffle mac n cheese. Great wine, perfect service also. Amazing experience..

A lovely little restaurant in the middle of Dalry (near Haymarket) which has been there for many years but until now (I'm an Edinburgh resident!) have never tried it. What a pity! The food, staff and ambiance were great. We ate the seafood pasta and the lobster burger, both outstanding and didn't break the bank. My only tiny disappointment was house wine wasn't great. I run an Airbnb near Murrayfield and I'll definitely be recommending this restaurant to all my guests.

excellent cuisine, very kind staff and splendid place, the quality of the dishes is very high, a true Italian experience. very very excellent

Very traditional Vietnamese Restaurant, tasty menues and drinks, fair prices and very friendly Service. 5 Stars

Really great food though frankly the biggest standout was the service - Harriot was one of the best servers I’ve had since moving to the UK 2 years ago, went above and beyond :) Self-serve wine was neat at first, but was awkward at a certain point as I fumbled with deciding which wine to order while servers had to sneak behind me

We came here for Mother’s Day. Booked for 3 people for a 10am slot and as first guests in, we were seated right next to the door on a four person table. As it was draughty outside, we asked to move to the three person table closer to the corner. Nobody else was in the restaurant. The waitress begrudgingly gave us the other table, mentioning multiple times how they were fully booked. She then explained which parts of the menu weren’t available today. One person from our group has an egg intolerance so when we ordered, we asked for scramble tofu instead. We were then informed that there was no scramble tofu but she also didn’t offer any other substitute - meaning they charged £8 for a roll with 2 potato scones and some avocado spread. Another person had an avocado allergy. The waitress was informed about this at the beginning of the order and when asked if the avocado could be substituted with spinach, the waitress said that there was no spinach on the menu. Only after pointing this out did she acknowledge it and the substitute was made on the order. However, throughout the breakfast the person started feeling sick, only to discover there was avocado on the other side of the sourdough. It seemed like the kitchen had put on some avocado, then realised the order and just flipped the slice of bread on the other side. We all finished food and after 30 minutes with no interaction a new waiter came to take away our dishes after multiple attempts to get the attention of staff without being rude. We informed him of the avocado and he apologised and took the item and the drink of this person off the final bill, which we appreciated. This used to be a great food spot and I have had many good good experiences in here over the years. It seemed customer service from the first waiter was not her strong point and gave the distinct impression everything was a problem to do.

Brilliant cocktails A absolute must to go to. UPDATE 05/04/25 We've been back a few times since my review. It remains one of the best in Edinburgh and definitely the most inventive. Science lessons too 😄 Today we came for the fabulous Grey Goose Tiny Tinis and stayed for more. Great staff and it's a vibe. Love it.

Awesome food, would totally recommend.

One of the best sushi spots in Edinburgh. The sushi is fresh and absolutely delicious, they have so many good options, and the service is great as well.

Great menu x tasty food and coffee and team x

Quality price; there's no comparison! Flavors of the dishes & Soup...

Cute, amazing ginger beer. V formal no dancing which would be fun

You have to look carefully to find a local restaurant. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is authentically local. Especially fried chicken

Have visited 3 times now with my family & have to say it’s an incredible restaurant. Highly recommend the cooking is exceptional. We have tried many dishes & were all high quality in taste , appearance & quality of ingredients. The service is also the best & they are extremely attentive & just so friendly & efficient. I have eaten Thai food all over the world & this place up there as one of the best. Just book ahead of time to make sure you get a table. We will be back when visiting Edinburgh next time.

Not the best food I've ever had and given my wife is Italian was unlike any Italian food I've had in 50 years. Food cold as was the restaurant with 2 out of the tasting menu having pass marks. Waitresses terrific apart from one who practically whipped my wife's plate away when she hadn't actually finished. Very disappointed, won't be back.
