The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Wir fanden es toll, dass hier britisches Frühstück in einer veganen Variante angeboten wird, geschmacklich war es aber nicht ganz unser Fall. Dafür war die Bedienung sehr freundlich und der Laden ist sehr liebevoll eingerichtet. Zur Frühstückszeit war es etwas schwierig einen Tisch zu bekommen und einige Leute mussten weggeschickt werden.

Delicious food and nice friendly staff

Really good Italian restaurant. Great food and excellent friendly staff.

Have been going to this resturant regularly for nearly 10 years. Always giving it a 5 star rating. Last night for my wife’s birthday we visited again expecting our usual high standards. Firstly, the food was excellent as normal, no issues there at all. But for some strange reason our engagement with the staff including the owner was very “flat and low energy”. We waited 40 minutes for our first course to be delivered , Arancini and Mozarella Fritta …. No one explained why the wait was so long. Apart from asking for our order and delivering the food there was NO attempt to engage in conversation with us…. A mile away from the experience when Marisa was front of house in the early days. This was the first time in ten years going to Gigi’s that I haven’t left a tip. Your food is excellent, you need to refocus your standards of service as your prices are now at “ Edinburgh” levels… so the experience needs to be top notch. Also an increase in Veggie pasta options would be a good idea both for the customers and your profit line. Hope to come back and also hear some more good reviews. Disappointed local and big advocate of Gigi’s Bonnyrigg.

Food is great, such a warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Front of house service was great, attentive without being too fussy. The food was disappointing, it was visually very attractive but a few of the dishes didn’t deliver on flavour. The pork in particular was almost all fat with hardly any meat. I’m afraid it’s not comparable to Number One or The Kitchen for the cost.

Omelette on bagel was recommmend, and I’d definitely did not disappoint! Great service and great food!

Had an amazing experience. The atmosphere was amazing and something we'll always treasure from our visit to Scotland.

Nice quality food and plenty of it. Good for price. I liked being able to add and remove items. Arrived quickly and was hot

WARNING!. Outdated menu prices, overpriced and underwhelming!. Expect to pay £35 pp for a small amount of food excluding alcoholic!. Beware of fake reviews! Ive been here twice for a takeaway and it was pretty good,albeit with above average prices and decent enough food. However I dined in and apart from the atmosphere, I was disappointed with everything else. First of all,the menu on their website is not up to date so add at least 2 to 3 pounds on top of the prices on there. So therefore expect to pay close to 17 pounds for a tiny main course that is half the size of a takeaway sized portion,which consists of like 6 pieces of meat!. You still need to get rice,that will cost you 5 quid, starters are at typically 8 quid(avoid the samosas at all cost as they they are tiny). nan bread is close to a fiver,poppadoms will cost you 2 to 3 pounds. The rice is a tiny portion,less than a ready meal.the chilli garlic lamb i had was half the portion size of a standard sized takeaway tray.the chicken pakora was ok but nothing to write home about about. All in all,thats like 35 to 40 quid per head for a very average meal.i wouldn't bother dining in again for sure as that's very poor value for money,in fact it's safe to call this an expensive waste of money. id rather buy an Indian ready meal of virtually the same quality,for less than a tenner than to dine here again. This place must be making huge profits by serving tiny portions at ridiculous prices or paying their staff next to nothing. Only come here if you want to waste money and feel ripped off!. Complete waste of time and money,places like these should be shut down.

lovely experience, lots of paint colours to choose from:) would recommend

There were many tiring things. But I recovered after eating fish and chips. It felt really good. The flesh is really soft and the potatoes are delicious.

Authentic Korean flavour, fresh tantalizing snacks. Surely, it's the one to return again and again.

Good for late night food when nothing is open.

Seriously awesome fine dining spot! The service was excellent and super fast. Totally worth the price, you should definitely check it out. I'll be back for sure.
