The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Do not be put off with the queue outside It goes down quick. Fantastic scottish breakfast. Every ingredient perfect. Can not rate it high enough. An Edinburgh must.

Great for a high quality lunch and dinner. We parked around the back of inn in a sort of residential area just aside thr high street. As a previous resident of Balerno, I can advise that there are two other car parks within walking distance. Good portion sizes and elegant traditional offerrings. My wife had the burger and our children had the choice of two types of menus for infants and then slightly older. I had the Sunday lunch which is nice and rich without being obscene. The waiting staff were very friendly and accomodating to us considering how up and down we were with the kids. There is also the added benefit of an outdoor swing set and climbing frame for the youngsters to use, this is in a closed off area so excludes access to the wider public which is great. Our kids could not finish their serving so we asked to take it home and they were nicely wrapped for us in foil. Will be back!

Best food, best service. Everything with lentils and beans is banging.

Nuestra última visita a este restaurante el día de San Valentín fue una vez más excelente en términos de calidad, servicio y relación calidad-precio. Una fantástica elección pre-teatro y experiencia! Mención especial a Carrie y Steven por ser tan atentos.

Chaskaa is my number 1 curry take away service. Like most Indian curry lovers, I have tasted many curries throughout Edinburgh and Chaskaa Punjabi Murgh - one of their specials is the best I have ever had and will continue to have. Their Chicken Pakoras are the best we have ever had, just as the onion bhajis were delightful. I have recommended this place to work collogues who have visited the restaurant to eat in and loved my recommendation: Karahi, Punjabi Murgh, both dishes they loved. I have been in the restaurant to collect my order and the staff are the best, I mean really could not get nicer people, very friendly and who take the honour of serving you, the same goes for the delivery person , we have seen a few different drivers and every single one of them makes you feel like 5 star service, the food, the packaging, the staff, everything is perfect. I would recommend. Just an FYI, you get money back on each order, its like a points loyalty system, on average we get £2 on each order back into our chaskaa account, it feels great after a few orders you end up with a free curry or even a free meal.

had previously given a good review as when we'd been before it was lovely but our last visit was disappointing. there was only a few people in and our food took forever even though we only ordered 2 pizzas and a garlic bread. the bread took so long we ended up asking for it to go.. eventually after an hour after finishing the pizza we had to leave as our parking was expiring.. we realised the garlic bread was sitting on the counter in a takeaway box but nobody had given it to us. wonder how long it sat there! proper weird a shame as pizzas used to be great but this time, it wasn't worth it at all :(

We chanced on this beautiful cafe and we were so glad we did. The salmon croissant with goat cheese was the best ever! And so was the quiche ... I am here for a few days but would definitely like to come here once before I leave.

Tomamos cafés, helados y lemon cake. Todo muy rico y en un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor. Súper recomendable en la zona de Cannongate

Phenomal food, burgers are top teir, great selection of salads and sauce. Service was great as well very polite and welcoming, Lynne even gave me free haggis on the burger which was unreal. Will be there every time I pass the retail park

Tasted the Moist chocolate cake. It was really delicious not too sweet. It was just perfect 👌.

100% recommend this little cafe, staff were more than friendly and very attentive. Food was top tier, we had the Full Scottish and it was a generous portion. Set us up for the day nicely.

Yo recomendaría la comida aquí, especialmente el menú degustación. Es buena relación calidad-precio y lleno de sabor. No puede decirse lo mismo del precio del vino. Un vaso grande de Primitivo te costará 24 libras en mi libro.

Gorgeous food and fabulous service by the lovely Lily (and the great barman with the fab beard whose name we did not get - sorry .!). Thank you for a wonderful evening - we will be back x

Instagram photos don’t always tell the truth. While service and wine were very good, the food was a big disappointment. Look very pretty on the plate (for instagram) but none of the dishes were memorable or flavourful.

Immaculate. Immersive. Impressive. Make a booking while you can because each course was perfection and the wine pairings were sublime.
