The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Lupes, una institución de Edimburgo, ha ofrecido a la gran cantidad de estudiantes de español un gusto de hogar, pero es mucho más que eso. Las selecciones de tequila, especias asiáticas y mucho más cubren los estantes de esta pequeña tienda de delicatessen. No puedo ir a esta parte de la ciudad sin pasar por un vistazo

Nous avons pris quasiment tous nos petits déjeuner chez The Dean durant notre séjour. Le personnel est super sympa, les petits déjeuner sont copieux et savoureux, le cappuccino est super bon. Nous avons adoré et nous recommandons ! :)

On cold and very wet December days, this cafe was a great place to warm up. I suspect it would be a great 'slice of Italy' at any time of the year. Excellent hot and tasty panini, homemade scones and hot coffee...very welcome and much needed. Great attentive and friendly staff. We will ready return (and have) to this great cafe. For us, a bonus is that it is nowhere near the city centre.

We very much enjoyed an amazing platter for two. A whole prepared lobster, champagne lobster pate, dressed crab, prawn cocktail, smoked salmon, hot smoked salmon, a box of super Greek salad,oatcakes, crusty bread. It was beautifully presented and delivered on a covered platter. Enough amazing food to last us a couple of days. Highly recommend all their products,produced by a small family business.

Después de tres años, les hice la visita de regreso que prometí en mi primera revisión a continuación. Nada ha cambiado mucho. Personal amable, blancos planos bien hechos con granos de café aceptables, buenas opciones de asientos, pasteles acogedores. Precios agradables también por los estándares de la ciudad.

My girlfriend found interest in me there hihih. Delicious food, big portion,couldnt eat all :D , affordable prices.

Popped in for some food and coffee. We had the sausage roll and the Cornish pastie with chorizo. The food hit the spot it was lovely and warm and the coffee was excellent. Place was very busy and managed to get table inside. Also had a lovely rhubarb slice of cake which was just yummy.

Friendly staff, BYOB, and the best Dumplings I've tasted outside of Poland. Would recommend a lot, so fresh and delicious

Anywhere else, I would be unenthusiastic about Chef Bako, but for touristic Edinburgh it's not at all bad. Situated at the far end of the Royal Mile, near the Museum of Edinburgh, it has a fairly basic menu that includes fish & chips. This was freshly cooked to order, and served with a micro pot of mushy peas, and equally sized one of tartare sauce. They are unlicensed, so I splashed out on a can of Irn Brew. The fish & chips were fine - not a huge portion, and not cheap, but about as good a deal as you can get in this part of the city. There are a few seats along a counter on one side of the shop. I'm amazed how much more expensive it is than Glasgow!

I visited The Dunstane restaurant a couple of weeks ago to try their new menu and was blown away by the quality of the food. The menu celebrates the finest seasonal and locally sourced produce, and you can tell how much care and attention has gone into carefully curating the dishes. We enjoyed the Highland rack of lamb and dry-aged sirloin of beef. Couldn’t fault the mains, both were presented beautifully and tasted as good as they looked. The lobster ravioli with the beef was outstanding, would have loved more of this but all the flavours complimented each other so well. The pistachio brûlée was out of this world, such a unique dish but the flavours were stunning and worked so well together. Whilst the menu is at a higher price point, I highly recommend booking for a celebration or special occasion. Such a lovely experience overall

I have passed here many times but today was the first time I went for a coffee. Great coffee and cake however very noisy with dancing staff chatting and dragging dance mats through the cafe into the dance studios 😬 it’s ideal for dance mums waiting on their kids but not for a quiet coffee and chat

Este café nunca decepciona, hemos estado en muchas ocasiones y el café, la comida y el personal son todos fantásticos. Seguiré adelante allí.

This is a church cafe run by volunteers. It says it is an outreach cafe and an asset to the community - but this is hardly the case when the prices are off putting and more expensive than most cafes run as businesses. A very poor cappuccino cost £3.40 and my baked potato was nearly £8. It is set up in a church hall and the volunteers are pleasant but not exactly efficient (my baked potato was left on an adjacent table until I asked where it was). All the members of our table had their food delivered at different times so some were finished before others had started (we ordered together).

Good cocktails, use advanced cocktail techniques and achieve good results. It seems to be closed, just knock on the door and wait

Bought a cheese pizza from this place a few times, warm slices that taste delicious. Used to give leftovers of pizza to my friends and I a lot.
