The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

An outstanding dining experience from start to finish

All the classic sweets and Scottish fudge and tablet.

I was so disappointed in this place! After being there for a meal with my friends and place being absolutely roasting and us complaining about it several times however we decided to return for drinks in their “wine bar” however situation was changed because of the baby at home so we couldn’t make it, I gave them a call 3h prior our arrival to say we can’t make it, to which very rudely I was told that they will charge me 10£ per person!!! Not per table, but per person!!! I didn’t even manage to hang up before my card was already charged 40£ I am absolutely shocked about the attitude and the price they charge. I would never return even if living in the area and have passed this around my friends to not return either. Very disappointed!

Incredible value for money. Best in Edinburgh.

Moonwake is a cool place and that's my first tip. Tip: It gets cold here, even under the heat lamps but bring a coat and come anyway. This is a review of the Moonwalk Taproom. Yeah, there's a brewery here and from those clean and shiny vats come some great tasting, local and craft beer. But what else can I say about the brewery? I suppose I could say that the open entrance space has been used for a local pop up market and it was petite but fun. There were just a few stalls but each one was local, quality and good. The main reason, unless you want to look at shiny vats, to visit is the taproom. The taproom is up a flight of stairs, is on a balcony and overlooks the brewery. Isn't that a great place to enjoy freshly poured pints? Staff here are friendly and since they make the beer on offer are way more involved than some city centre franchise clone. You can meet the owners here. Order at the bar or at the table. I've talked through what I feel like and have had recommendations. Tip: Moonwake is a local treasure, isn't huge so you can strike out and turn up when there are no free tables. Consider getting in touch if you want to bring the office or a group of friends. Pizza! For at least half the time I've been drinking here there's been a deal with Pizza Geeks. That's a brilliant local pizzeria. Use their app to do an "at table" order. Frankly, beer from the brewery served with freshly made pizza carried over the bridge from the local restaurant is amazing. Tip: Follow Moonwake on social media. They're lovely, transparent, informative and it's the best place to keep up with their latest brews and events. I'm a fan but I'm yet to try their e-commerce offer. If I buy a crate of their beer then I'd drink it! [May 22 update - even better with beer garden] [September 22 update - still good] [April 23 update - really enjoy their market events, recommend following on social to find out about them] [July 23 update - growing and successful but still feels indie and authentic] [October 23 update - Moonwake Beers are superb and they have a knack for great guest taps too] [March 24 update - So much happening here that it's worth signing up to the newsletter] [October 24 update - they span their event social media into a different account. Bizarre decision but worth following]

The food was honestly really nice, and was prepared quickly. I liked the crispness of the lettuce and bacon.

Very helpful, knowledgeable and friendly staff

Yummy food! A variety too. Freshn always ...and really good . Nice owners too. Was really glad Adam took me there.

Wow, it's been a long time since I've had such a great meal. The atmosphere was great. Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves. The staff that we had were jolly and helpful. We booked, and it was a good job we did. I strongly recommend that if you want to go, you do the same.

It requires advance reservation. We booked it a week in advance It was previously a library and was turned into a tea café We were three people, and the place was elegant and quiet, and the people working in the place were nice and helpful, and we chose afternoon tea. It is a stand containing a simple collection of citrus fruits and sweets And two pots of tea The price was as shown on the invoice, £65.

The food is amazing, the staffs are amazing and really helpful, everything is really fresh, recommend!

Food delivered a while after first estimated time. That being said, the food was absolutely brilliant and will be ordering from Hungry Wolf again!

We visited here for dinner on Thursday evening. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. The starters of pork cheek and scallops were excellent. Followed by venison and halibut which again exceeded our expectations. Sticky toffee pudding and crème brulé to finish both of which were also excellent. We will be visiting again soon. Thanks to the staff for a great evening

We had a takeaway in Nov, 24. Cost us £63. It was awful. Sorry, but that is the truth. The Mangsho Roti at £16.95 was inedible. Very bitter and sour. It went in the bin. The chicken pasanda was tasteless. It too went in the bin. We will not be buying anything from here again.

We came to Duck and Waffle to celebrate with my family. As we were a large group, they allowed us to use the whiskey room after reserving with a deposit. The restaurant is just located outside/ near to the entrance to the shopping centre and has a great atmosphere with the lights and open whisky bar. The whisky room is great with a TV that can be linked to phone to show pictures. The only negative about the private whisky room was that it heated up quickly! The staff were attentive and friendly with them showing to out seats and taking drinks orders quickly - and giving several useful recommendations! The only downside was that overall the food was lacking. The Harrisa Cauliflower tasted okay but felt that it could have used more time to cook and soften up - further more, the turkey main was very average alongside the plum pudding. So all in all, great atmosphere and service - the food was lacking.
