The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white - great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!

Best breakfast spot in Edinburgh! Highly recommend for veggies. The staff are great and super helpful! Will be back as it’s that good!

I’m originally from Musselburgh and am often back to visit relatives but we don’t often go into the main part of town. We ate here on Saturday night as two couples as my brother in law has raved about how great this place is. I was a bit sceptical as Musselburgh wouldn’t be a natural home for an Argentinian Steak House. I have to say it was fantastic. The feature is the quality of meat and that made all the dishes brilliant. We had the sharing platter - loved it. The meat was cooked exactly as asked for at medium rare and the meat was beautifully tender. The beef taco starter was brilliant and all the other steaks looked amazing. As designated driver I can’t comment on the cocktails but the others seemed to enjoy several and rounded off the meal with liqueur coffees. The quality of food is exceptional and can see why it was always busy - we had booked 3 weeks in advance and got 5.45 as all later tables were booked and they were also full when we arrived. We paid about £250 for 4 - starters , main meals, several cocktails a couple of desserts and coffees - well worth it and I would suggest that having eaten in Edinburgh at Hawksmoor, the quality of food here is in a par for a lot of better price. Wow.

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. The coffee was incredible! Best I've had and reasonably priced considering the venue has a very up market vibe. Friendly staff too. Will definitely come back again for the food as it looked delicious.

First visit for us to the Balerno Inn was a great experience. We were in a Bothy which was cosy despite the cold Sunday. All the food was excellent and served in a decent time despite it being pretty busy. Prices were fine and the staff were friendly. We will be back.

Mediocre food and terrible attitude from the owner who refused to honour our reservation. Kept waiting for 20 minutes for food that tasted as bad as the meal we had on the flight over. Salt by name, salty by attitude.

We are regular visitors to the brewery bar and pizza kitchen. This is a great place to visit for all ages. A real family friendly experience, dog friendly too. The pizzas are to die for and there is such a wide ranging choice to choose from. The range of beers on tap is great, there is a beer for everyone whatever your taste is. A wide range of spirits, wine and soft drinks as well. Justyna and her team are fantastic. Very welcoming and always happy to chat. Service is fast and friendly. We recently attended the comedy night which was such a laugh and greatly received by all who attended. I hope this becomes a regular slot in the calendar. To sum up. Great beer, great pizza, amazing staff. If you haven’t been along you won’t be disappointed with a visit.

We ate at the Skyline Restaurant multiple times during our stay at the Tynecastle Park Hotel. Their breakfast was absolutely delicious - My husband had the Traditional Breakfast and I the Eggs Benedict. I would highly recommend both. For dinner, we came on a Sunday so had the chance to try their delicious Roast Beef. Their Butterscotch Pudding is also INCREDIBLY DELICIOUS. Can't wait to come back on our next trip to Edinburgh.

Damn good service and food. Never had a Nepalese Curry. Amazing. Very attentive (but not too much). I was the only one here (early dinner at 430). Great little spot.

A great spot for Singaporean and HK inspired treats! We arrived ten minutes before the place opened on a Sunday, and, I’m glad we did, as the place filled up very quickly. The interior is small, but has a really nice vibe! As someone constantly missing the Hong Kong teatime culture, I was very excited to see some of my favourite cafe classics on the menu, including HK toast, kaya toast, and teas and coffees with condensed milk. We ordered the roti canai, kaya toast and HK toast to share, and a cup of teh tarik, a Singapore signature hand pulled tea, each. Everything was delicious and satisfied my craving for nostalgia (and good food!). I was a bit confused that the crusts were cut off the HK toast, as this is unusual at least in Hong Kong, but my sister pointed out that bread in the UK is much tougher, so this was probably a very good shout! Didn’t have much interaction with the staff, but we didn’t really need to as they were very efficient and we had no complaints about the food. I’d love to come back during a future visit to Edinburgh to try their coffee and larger main dishes.

Does what it says on the Tin. The staff were really nice. The service was excellent. The food was pretty ok too, but that is for individual pallete I guess, however it is good honest food.

had previously given a good review as when we'd been before it was lovely but our last visit was disappointing. there was only a few people in and our food took forever even though we only ordered 2 pizzas and a garlic bread. the bread took so long we ended up asking for it to go.. eventually after an hour after finishing the pizza we had to leave as our parking was expiring.. we realised the garlic bread was sitting on the counter in a takeaway box but nobody had given it to us. wonder how long it sat there! proper weird a shame as pizzas used to be great but this time, it wasn't worth it at all :(

Crepes ottime, sia dolci che salate, fatte sul momento, sottili e croccanti! Ci sono piaciute in tutte le varianti che abbiamo provato

We three friends had an excellent lunch in La Potinere. There is a choice of two items for each course two having one of the starters & I had the other. There was a similar choice by my friends for the main course of chicken en croute while I had baked salmon. One of my friends treated us to a very fine bottle of Montrachet which we relished. The cooking & service were of high quality . Would we go back ? Indeed we would.

Tomamos cafés, helados y lemon cake. Todo muy rico y en un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor. Súper recomendable en la zona de Cannongate
