The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

We visited during covid times for a takeaway coffee and cake. Excellent selection of cakes and excellent service with a smile. Best Victoria Sponge I've had in ages! Great value as well. Will definitely be back to try more! Also very well done during Covid - was takeaway only when we visited, with a plastic screen at the door.

Stopped off whilst on an evening visit to South Queensferry. Loads of ice cream flavours to choose from despite some being sold out from earlier in the day. Gentleman who was serving was very professional and thanked us for stopping by as we were leaving.

Friendly staff, excellent pastries, above-average coffee. Not advisable for groups of more than 4, but perfect for couples or single people.

Fantástico ambiente. Maravillosa selección de tés y tartas caseras, todas servidas en servicios de té antiguos que luego puede comprar si lo desea. De hecho, todo está a la venta a un precio negociable. Me encanta este lugar sin pretensiones escondido a pocos pasos del centro de la ciudad. Asegúrate de reservar. Uno de los mejores lugares de Edimburgo.

We ate here for my wife's birthday, oh what a fantastic choice. It is BYOB which is a nice change , the food was absolutely fantastic. The owner is so nice and helpful . He has as well as the restaurant a selection of deli products on sale for you to take away and try to replicate the dishes on the menu, a must in my view.

Loved this place. Great for either take away or eating in. I could honestly have tried everything on the menu..it all looked so fresh and healthy. Such a refreshing change from the chain restaurants!

The best language school. Super engaging lessons with plenty of practise, fun games, revision of lessons in an unusual format, and small groups. Teachers are the reason I keep coming back; they have a great sense of humour, make you feel very relaxed and turn us, international students, from strangers to friends. You won't regret coming and will return.

Had the turban tandoori, and honestly with the chilli sauce it’s probably the most flavoursome panini I have ever had. Top quality food, impeccable taste, unbelievable good service all in one. Can’t wait for my next trip to Baget stuffed

Fue un muy buen desayuno en Hata! Tomamos los rollos de canela, un chaï latte y un pistacho latte. Un ambiente muy relajante y agradable.

Was introduced to Luna Caffe as my family raved about it. Now every time I visit them I have to eat here. Amazing pasta, genuine friendly service and a truly local feel. I am slowly working my way through the menu and every dish has been tremendous. Dog friendly and BYOB so everyone is happy. Thank you so much to all the staff and I will see you again in September.

Me detuve aquí un par de veces mientras trabajaba en la zona. La comida siempre ha sido muy buena, pero tengo que decir que los rollos de desayuno son increíbles! El personal siempre es muy agradable también cuando entro. Definitivamente volveré

Para ser honesto, fuimos aquí porque Kilted Donut al lado estaba cerrado para Navidad / Hogmanay! Pedimos 2 x milefoglie - chocolate y pistacho. Eran agradables pero caros en £ 3. 50 cada uno. Entramos y salimos en unos 10 minutos, pero parecía un lugar popular.

Not for the first we've used Koshi for a special occasion and as usual a really positive experience. Friendly staff Great choice of Indian / Nepalese dishes. Only wish we lived closer!!

Collected food from here a few times. Breakfast rolls and lunches have been great! Definitely been missing them while they are closed during this lockdown!! Hopefully they will be open soon

got a hot chocolate and a cappuccino, had one of the best cappuccino's in edinburgh. got a bit lost and the lovely young lady helped me find what i needed, i am very greatful for all her help and simply loved the hot drinks i got from the Waverley Cafe. Im going there again before i head home, thank you soo much.
