The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Thoroughly enjoyed this unusual and whimsical eatery in the heart of Edinburgh's moneyed and fashionable Hester Wailes district. We chose to eat in the dark School Gymnasium space although the outdoor terrace and the Space Deck looked equally inviting. Our meal was served by a Saint Bernard dog called Atkinson, who was a lively raconteur and before becoming a waiter has worked as an adept polar explorer, despite only having one leg. The menu lists fifteen different kinds of chips, with deep fried mars bars on offer for the vegetarians in the family. I chose the King Edward three eighths by two inch chips while my wife went for her favourite thick cut turnip and mangelwurzel. Absolutely delicious and served with tomato squidge and garlic margarine. We both chose sugar-coated plantain chips with potato custard for dessert. Washed down with a delightful bottle of Chateau L'effrayant. The bill was GBP 178.30 plus VAT and 10% service charge.

Gran hotel en excelente ubicación. Buenas instalaciones en todo el personal agradable, gran desayuno. Recomendaría mucho este hotel

Stopped at Brunch Box on a whim while road tripping from Edinburgh to the Lake District, could not have been happier with the service or the food. The woman working there even happily made a off-menu item for my vegetarian girlfriend.

Este lugar nos preparó pizza vegana sin problema. Alcachofa, origano, aceitunas, salsa de tomate. Simple y delicioso Una verdadera joya italiana!

I Like vegan choices my partner likes more traditional food we had baked sweet potatoes with avocado and a couple of fresh fruit smoothies ,the fresh baked cakes we’re delicious staff were lovely would highly recommend

Went in as an alternative to (Mcds) so glad we did. Staff were brilliant taking the time to explain the menu options to me and my 3 children, ( which are major fussy) Served in no time at all, prices very reasonable too. Will definitely be back

Bubble Tea was divine. It was a bit of a wait but Taro Tea definitely worth it. Would definitely return.

The staff here are brilliant, and the quality of food is amazing for a quick bite. The wedges are a particular favourite for a side!

In seven days I spent in Edimburg, five nights I went in Vapiano, to eat Pasta, home made. Very, very good. I'm italian and, believe me, it was so good that it seemed to be in Italy. Don't lose this place when you'll be in Edimburg.

we went here on a whim, however the sushi was amazing !! Small and cosy, but the staff were friendly :) i can definitely tell that they value their customers a lot :)) My friends really enjoyed the ramen and okonomiyaki, the sushi was great too n

Best cake I've had in Edinburgh. Really special stuff at excellent prices. Would recommend for a treat.

perfect hyderabadi biryani served in edinburgh at very affordable prices. people craving for perfect biryani must try this

Great atmosphere in the restaurant/bar of Voco Hotel at Haymarket and delicious food. Our waiters Cole and Jake were very polite. We will definitely visit again. I can recommend the pepperoni pizza and the tomato soup.

Enormous breakfasts (meat and vegetarian options) that were delicious in a quirky environment with excellent and friendly service. A must visit cafe in Penicuik tucked out of the way. Highly recommended.

The staff were really friendly and took the time to go through all the different flavour combinations. The price was really good considering all the cakes are baked on-site and they offer a student discount. The white chocolate filled cupcake I had was really moist and tasty without being overly sweet. The latte I had tasted more like a cappuccino but considering how new the business is I feel they are still finding their feet. There are only 2 tables and 2 chairs (so seating for about 4) but the decor is so cute and the seating was incredibly comfortable.
