The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Hadn't been here since it changed its name. Strange sort of entrance with a lot of steps. Very very dark back room. Still, staff were friendly and drinks were reasonable!

Just moved here 1 month ago, stayed in clermiston before and went to marmaris at duart crescent, but this pizza 12i chick and sw corn alot better... would recommend.

We had a takeaway last Sunday and we really enjoyed it. The Prawn Mayan was delicious and plenty succulent prawns too. Some other restaurants are very stingy on the prawns. Hubby and kids loved it too and will definitely be ordering from here again in the future.

Hermoso helado de cereza, recomendado por un encantador miembro del personal. El helado no decepcionó y el servicio tampoco. Si hay una plaza de aparcamiento fuera, siempre aprovecho para entrar! Me encanta.

I don’t know if we just visited this pub on an odd night but our experience here wasn’t the best. The vibe in the pub didn’t feel very welcoming, the staff seemed tired and unhappy, the butterbeer wasnt great, and there was an open mic night of sorts happening which was chaotic and was a bit of an earache honestly.

Small, local eatery. I had the white pudding and fried fish, all very tasty and fresh.

This is my favourite Chinese restaurant in Edinburgh. Excellent food from mainland China with a lot of authentic dishes. The owners are very friendly and welcoming and very child friendly too. The hot and spicy crab and the steamed seabass is especially good.

Unfortunately, this proved to be a very disappointing experience. Having ordered two starters, two mains, sides etc we were told approx fifteen minutes after ordering that one of the starters was no longer available. Having opted not to order an alternative, the other starter arrived immediately. It was cold. The mains (tikka bhuna and tikka masala) which arrived later also proved to be disappointing. Both tasted almost identcal, and certainely not as expected. The chicken was tough and the sauce unusually thick and almost sticky. The side orders did not arrive. When we queried their absence, it appeared that the waiter did not have enough English to understand our issue. Overall, a very disappointing experience.

Maybe I'm jaded after having lived in New York for 4 years, but this business says New York style bagels and they most certainly are not. Very mediocre and overpriced bagel. Their veg cream cheese is very good, but overall I wouldn't return.

Stopped by here on the way home. The place was empty but the kids corner was a bonus for us and kept our 3 yr old son happy! Menu doesn't have much choice but the food was delicious! We had chicken burger and an old Smokey burger. No complaints! Staff and punters were friendly an we will definitely be back again. I dont know why there wasn't more publicity about this place as it defo needs it. Come here if u like no no fuss good pub grub and a place for the kids to play.

Fantástica selección de bollos y pasteles. Es un poco caro, pero perfecto para un pequeño placer, me encanta el bollo de castaña! 😋

Staff fantastic and friendly! Deserve much praise!

Dropped in for lunch after visiting the castle. Nice menu. I had Cullen skink which is a fabulous smoky fish chowder. Caesar salads fine. Service kind and attentive. Steak sandwich flavorful but had a large piece of unchewable gristle, dropping restaurant rating for us. Still, overall a fine experience and definitely recommend.

Very nice inside, very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I asked about gluten free and everything is gluten free apart from the bread, and because of this there is a risk of cross contamination. I went for the spicy Chinese soup and felt fine afterwards. The small portion was a good size and the cappuccino with almond milk was delicious. A very nice peaceful lunch. I did notice a lot of people coming in and and leaving without buying anything - there were only a few options, so perhaps there was nothing to taste.

Dismal. Placed an order for £40 of food, after an hour tried to contact the restaurant. No reply from either number. 2 and a half hours later order was rejected by text. Hungry and haven’t been refunded. Don’t waste your time with this place.
