The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Amazing spot next to a wonderful beach! Me and my 7 year old came down for a wee walk around and then realised how lovely the beach was and how nice the day was so went back and got my wife and 2 year old. Had a flat white the first time I was there and served by a very friendly lady had a little chat about her menu. Tacos aren’t something you can find anywhere in Dunbar so when I returned later my wife we got the beef tacos and a few tins of juice and I have to say there where absolutely lovely! The kind lady (owner I think) also brought them down onto the beach for us while I was setting up with our young ones! 100% will be back again and telling people about you guys! Keep up the great work!

Great place for a coffee and a sandwich or cake. This café was an unlikely find first time round and well worth a second visit. The Portuguese 'pastel de nata' are the genuine homemade article and out of this world. There is a large fridge with a range of tempting cakes and desserts. The menu also features soup, baked potatoes and breakfast items. As the café is within a modern community centre accessibility for folks with mobility issues or parents with young children is very good. Table service.

Visité este encantador café acogedor estilo Hong Kong con mi amigo. Tiene muy buen ambiente y agradable y precios razonables de las comidas. Tuve curry de ternera muy sabroso con arroz y el mejor fue French Toast! Recomiendo este encantador café a todos los que les gusta la cocina china / Hong Kong!

All of the food I've tried so far has been absolutely delicious some of the dishes can be a little spicy but never disappointed because it has so much flavour!

One of the best falafels I have ever had😍😍😍

The lounge was lovely. The atmosphere was great but the service was fantastic. Shubh and Bhumika took great care of us. Shubh especially, recommended us drinks and deserts and was completely spot on with both. I would definitely go back anytime they are working.

We were gleefully welcomed by our proprietor, Vivienne at 11pm, well past her normal check-in time. That was a delight in itself! She has lived in Edinburgh her whole life so she is a wealth of information regarding things to do, places to go and sites to see. Truthfully, you can't do Edinburgh wrong. It is a lovely lovely city. We were within walking distance of the Royal Mile and enjoyed the 15-20 minute stroll into the heart of the city. Our rooms were spotless and quiet. Breakfast was divine and Vivienne is every bit as warm and friendly in the morning as she is late in the evening! The whole experience was a 10! Thankyou Vivienne!!

Decent food for a decent price, really nice workers and customer service. There is lots of good selection, and vegetarian options too.

The BEST baclava we’ve ever tasted. Massive choice so bought one of each to taste. We are hoping to contact the owner to see if they would post as we live far.

Esta visita fue con tres amigos que nunca ha estado aquí antes y todos estaban muy impresionados, no sólo con la común (una preciosa casa privada) sino también la bastante variedad de comida deliciosamente delicado.

I love that Edinburgh now has take-away that doesn't involve food saturated in grease. The cauliflower Mac and cheese is delicious as are the prawns. My partner had the pork belly and dauphinoise potatoes, said he couldn't fault it! Thanks back burner!

Encontré este café en el casco antiguo de la ciudad cuando necesitas de refrescos, excelentes largish tazas de té y enormes trozos de bizcocho casero. Las grandes ventanas para ver el mundo pasar, todo a un precio de ganga! Esta verdad es difícil de superar.

La comida y la relación calidad-precio son increíbles, pero el personal lleno de bromas y extremadamente amable está fuera de este mundo, me encanta este lugar

We came across this chap in grass market walking during our Edinburgh vegan food trip. We had the blueberry cheesecake recommended by the other reviewer, totally agree with the sentiment, outstanding in flavour and texture. We also tried the brownie, tiffin and some cookie marshmallow sandwich creation (yeah we like vegan cakes!). Everything was handmade, the chap took pride in his work and was super friendly. 10 out of 10, if this business was nearer where I live, I would need to buy another wardrobe! Go visit!
