The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

While me and my friends were waiting on a delayed train at the nearby train station Waverly. We stopped into Mimis bakehouse and had a cup of coffee and some scones. They were some of the best i have ever had, and the coffee was exceptional as well. Me and my friends were thrilled with the quick and effective service offered by the staff. Will be returning!

Mi marido y yo tuvimos una experiencia maravillosa alojándonos en el Glasshouse para mi cumpleaños esta fue nuestra 3a visita y por mucho la mejor x Olivia (Gerente) nos había actualizado a una suite era increíble que era tan encantadora que no podíamos haber pedido más, era hermoso x También Isacc (conserje) era muy servicial, es un personal del hotel tan amable no puede hacer lo suficiente por usted, el desayuno también era muy bueno, nada era un problema

After going to the gallery we went to the cafe for a late lunch. The meals are reasonable value and all fresh, good food.

El entorno es agradable, pero el té de la comida y el servicio son terribles, la leche para el té vino inteligentemente equilibrada boca abajo en la taza de té y se derramó sobre mí. Los bollos se ven bien pero son horribles y secos. Cero ayuda del personal del desultorio. El día estaba borracho. No es un buen café para alguien con discapacidad.

Don’t go awful rude aggressive staff OMG apparently I am barred despite never being there on accused night. Was told by the exceptionally rude aggressive finger pointing bar boy that I had apparently been there drinking at table 2 (wherever that is) “a while back” with some girlfriends and was drinking my own wine. He said if I gave my name he could say if it was me. I did and apparently he didn’t know the name of the person so therefore could not substantiate this ridiculous and offensive claim. Never in my life have I encountered such rudeness and unjustifiable accusation. I would happily admit to any wrongdoings but being accused of frequenting a venue on a day/night that I wasn’t there and accused wrongly of behaviour that I would not commit in a bar that I have always paid good money in is beyond belief. Do not go - rude, inconsiderate staff who blandly tell lies and accuse innocent people Previous experience has always been great. I even have a discount card, previous staff wonderful - this young boy awful, no customer service and it is easy to say that it’s not acceptable in this day in age to actually finger point at someone and talk aggressively. He did actually point his finger at me with no proof. Nor had no name of the supposedly accused person or when I asked for the cctv camera proof he could not provide any evidence Please don’t go, staff who behave like this should be trained properly or work in a different environment.

HOPE THE OWNERS SEE THIS!! So this is the best Chinese takeaway but there's a catch they only open when they want to so it's so frustrating 😞 on busy days like Friday/Sunday and I wait for hours hoping that they open . And there's no way contacting your phone number just rings out So the food here is amazing but just wish they update there open times at least please Thank you

Tengo muy buen recuerdo del local y sobre todo de la gente que trabaja alí. Me gustaría que supieran lo que agradezco su confianza y su apoyo en un momento crítico que pasé . Para mi siempre será mi sitio favorito para tomar algo en Edimburgo;además me gustaba mucho la comida.Gracias desde Elche en España

This used to be a fairly bog-standard pub frequented by summer stag parties looking for nose-bag food. One to be avoided. Now a very friendly gastro-pub with nice staff and great service. Super location and dog-friendly. Now attracting families for food rather than stags for drinks. Nice.

I think she was the manager,Annie, who was so lovely and helpful, was the best customer service I've had at a dessert place in Edinburgh. Yummy

Decided to pop in here from working late in Edinburgh for a simple chicken curry fried rice. The chicken, rice and curry sauce all had barely any taste to it which was the first thing I had noticed, this was followed by the chicken having a very weird soft texture to it which was easier than normal to bite through for chicken, was told this could possibly be due to the way they boil the chicken at first so not thinking much of it I continued eating. Even in my very hungry state I couldn’t manage to finish the food. I then spent the next 4 days in bed, unable to eat or stay stood up longer than 5 minutes without being on the verge of passing out or vomiting. I am just now feeling slightly better after 4 days of constant diarrhoea and vomiting. I have been unable to go to work the past 2 days and will no doubt have to take tomorrow off as well as I still don’t think I’ll be fit enough to carry out physical labour. Can’t fault the service at all as we received our food relatively quick and the server was polite and helpful. Unsure if this was just a dodgy batch of chicken but after doing some research, all my symptoms line up perfectly with salmonella food poisoning. Eat at your own risk

Accidentally I gave her 30 pound instead of 10 that I was holding in my hand as I got distracted by thoughts. I said hey I ment to give you just the 10 and she quickl hid the money as I was looking at it and told me I didn't give it to her. She started being rude and shout so I didn't argue but decided to leave this review.

You really need to check how you price impromptu requests. 2 slices of toast (which my wee one decided she didn't want to eat) £3.95. This, when chicken nuggets and chips on the menu are only 55p more at £4.50. So, I asked for 2 bananas... £2.00.

We stopped here for lunch on a day's walking. The halloumi flatbreads which we had toasted, were delicious with lots of fresh salad inside. Coffee is good too. It's easy to pass by these little cafes without noticing them but this one was worth a stop.

I've been here a few times since it opened but this was the first time for about a year. The food was very good but for a Saturday night the place was empty: no more than 2 tables being used at a time during the whole time we were there, although it did do a steady trade in carry-outs. Even although it was quiet the service was less than attentive. There were 2 waiters and someone who appeared to be the manager but who seemed to do very little. We were not made to feel welcome.The food was very good, not too spicy hot like I find with some restaurants. It's such a shame about the atmosphere and service and I wonder why it was so quiet.
