The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white - great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!

La comida estuvo muy rica, pedimos dos desayunos escocés y ha sido el mejor que probamos en todo Escocia, el lugar es pequeño pero bonito, fácil de llegar y buena atención de las meseras y el chef, súper recomendado

Great atmosphere along with great food! The staff & owner are so cordial and welcoming! Owner, Ben was genuinely concerned that we were having a good time! Along with our waiter, Jack, who was delightful and fun & had great suggestions too! When we’re back in Scotland this will be our first stop! Highly recommend Balerno Inn!❤️

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. The coffee was incredible! Best I've had and reasonably priced considering the venue has a very up market vibe. Friendly staff too. Will definitely come back again for the food as it looked delicious.

This is a wonderful cafe with delicious food fabulous service and the sweetest softest most well behaved dog you could ever want to accompany you for brunch. Heaven.

Was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was on arrival and the staff were so helpful. Had a very enjoyable night out at my step son & daughters wedding reception.

Damn good service and food. Never had a Nepalese Curry. Amazing. Very attentive (but not too much). I was the only one here (early dinner at 430). Great little spot.

A great spot for Singaporean and HK inspired treats! We arrived ten minutes before the place opened on a Sunday, and, I’m glad we did, as the place filled up very quickly. The interior is small, but has a really nice vibe! As someone constantly missing the Hong Kong teatime culture, I was very excited to see some of my favourite cafe classics on the menu, including HK toast, kaya toast, and teas and coffees with condensed milk. We ordered the roti canai, kaya toast and HK toast to share, and a cup of teh tarik, a Singapore signature hand pulled tea, each. Everything was delicious and satisfied my craving for nostalgia (and good food!). I was a bit confused that the crusts were cut off the HK toast, as this is unusual at least in Hong Kong, but my sister pointed out that bread in the UK is much tougher, so this was probably a very good shout! Didn’t have much interaction with the staff, but we didn’t really need to as they were very efficient and we had no complaints about the food. I’d love to come back during a future visit to Edinburgh to try their coffee and larger main dishes.

A great find. Went on a Tuesday evening, it was packed. A great sign of high quality food. Very good food and good service. Highly recommend.

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 :(

Love this place!! The crepes are great and filling and good value - and the people who work there are really lovely!

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

Fantastic service and with smiles along with banter. I had the Wellington burger and omg I was not disappointed with it. Massive and tasty you should gi e it a go. I will be back

We had an amazing visit to this restaurant on our first visit to Edinburgh to see our son and his partner. The food and service was amazing! We cannot wait to go again

Great city with lots of things going on! It was the fringe festival and the military tattoo show so was busy. Loads of lovely restaurants and cocktail bars. I ended up doing the Edinburgh dungeons that was an experience! Make sure you have comfy shoes as it’s plenty of walking. There is also a hop on hop of bus that takes you around the place. I only stayed 20 minute walk away from the main centre so was perfect! Would definitely go again!
