The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

The best pizza express in the UK - always great service and amazing allergen awareness. Great for gluten free.

It was my first time at Nando's. The employee explained how it works, and after that, everything went smoothly. You order food using the QR code on your phone, specify your table, pay, and wait for it to be brought to you. You pour your own drinks. You get your own cutlery, as well as the various options for seasoning or spicing up the food. Everything was very tasty, the medium spice level was fine for me; I'll probably choose something spicier next time. All in all, I liked it a lot.

Unfortunately it was the beer house last shift before it closes for refurbishment

Closed for holidays, no info online. Zero respect for customers.

Where do I start? I booked a table for 8pm on 15th December 2024 for my family and I. Upon arrival we were shown to our table and told someone would be with us shortly. The restaurant was relatively quiet at this point. After 15 minutes of staff ignoring us a young staff member who’s personal hygiene was questionable approached us and asked if we would like some thing to drink. We all ordered soft drinks. At this time we asked to be moved tables as we felt quite cramped in the area we were in. I didn’t think this would be an issue as the restaurant was quiet. I was told there were no other tables available. A short time later the staff member arrived and put down 5 bottles of coke and 7up. At this time we realised there was a slug on one of the bottles. The staff member apologised and removed the slug but left us with the bottles. He did not supply glasses so I assume he expected My wife to drink out of the bottle that the slug had just been attached to. I then informed another member of staff of this who told the original staff member to supply glasses. He did this but offered no apology and offered no ice for the drinks. The next issue - I approached the food service area and ordered my selection of food. I noted that there were hardly any selection of vegetables or potatoes. I also noted that the service area was filthy with food that had clearly spilled over and had been sat there for some time. I then had the unfortunate experience of approaching the gravy counter. Again this was filthy (photo attached). I then realised that we hadn’t even been supplied cutlery. Once sat down to begin my meal, after I had to approach the bar staff as there was not any waiting staff to be seen to collect cutlery I looked around me and noted that the walls were covered in stains and had clearly not been cleaned in a long time. (Photo attached). I then looked up to see that the ceiling was mouldy. (Another photo attached). We were then pretty much ignored again by staff and were not approached until we asked for the bill. We then had the pleasure of paying over £92 for this experience. This experience has quite possibly been the worst experience I have ever had at any restaurant I have ever been too. My wife holds a food hygiene certificate due to her line of work and noted that staff overalls were dirty, staff were behind the serving counter, not wearing protective equipment with their hair not covered. I think I would have preferred to have eaten at Fawlty Towers.

Visitó para el té de la tarde y se vio abrumado con la selección de comida por el precio. Los sándwiches de pan no blando obviamente habían sentado demasiada mantequilla. Rollo de salchicha y pudín Yorkshire delicioso. Pasteles nada que escribir a casa sobre bollos no calientes y sin mantequilla. Servicio bien, pero no excepcional. ¿Volvería probablemente no

Best fries I've ever had! great service, friendly, fairly priced Have been there many time during the year. never disappointed.

Este restaurante estaba muy ocupado en nuestra visita, también es dog friendly si quieres esa instalación. Nos pusieron en una mesa inferior porque teníamos 2 perros , pero el restaurante estaba muy ocupado y bastante ruidoso ya que era un viernes por la noche. La comida y las bebidas llegaron bastante rápido teniendo en cuenta lo ocupado que estaba, buena elección de ambos, pero las porciones no eran tan grandes. No teníamos postres, pero el menú se veía bien.

We were just casually scrolling and ended up here for dinner—and it turned out to be a great choice. The chicken ramen was delicious, super comforting, and flavorful. I also really enjoyed their in-house blend tea (I think that’s what it was called?)—a nice surprise that went perfectly with the meal. Definitely a solid spot for a quick, satisfying dinner.

When things go well it's very good - plenty of seating outside in the nice weather and there will be plenty space inside when (if?) they get they Saddle Room finished. However, when it is busy things can go downhill. Staff are pleasant but could be better organised and there doesn't seem to be anyone in charge. As a result it can often run out of things including beer and glasses (be prepared to get served in a plastic container if you are sitting outside at busy times). Booking is essential at peak times and the kitchen closes quite early.

I am very happy that I found this place. Every time I visit this place, or order your food home, I can expect fresh and very good food. I have never failed. I will recommend. Greetings

Netter Pub, aber überteuertes Essen. Fish and Chips geschmacklich gut, aber etwas wässriger Fisch. Toiletten fast genauso versifft wie in anderen Pubs. Man hat das Gefühl sich nach dem Hände waschen die Hände waschen zu müssen.

Close this place and didn't receive a call

Sat at the table for over 20 mins and watched as 3 other tables get served before us despite us being there first !!! What an absolute joke of a place , I’d like to say I will be back but I won’t !!!!!!! Now to post on trip advisor.!!!

Greeted every morning with a smile and a how are you, nothing to much for friendly staff great start to the day
