The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

I used to frequent Cafe Truva at the shore a number of years ago and was looking forward to visiting their Lady Lawson street branch on a visit to town. What a disappointment! The ‘panini spice’ that I used to love was a delicious mix of spiced chicken, mozzarella and sun dried tomatoes served with a lovely Turkish-salad meze. Unfortunately there must be profit margins to protect here and the quality of product has been compromised beyond all recognition...bland strips of processed chicken, one piece of sun dried tomato all cooked without seemingly much care. The side salad used to be a real treat served with feta cheese, stuffed vine leaves, tzatziki and cous cous, instead you are now served some chopped lettuce, tomato and cucumber with no dressing.....distressing stuff. I hope they are reading and take these comments into consideration, will not return in a hurry which is a crying shame.

What an awesome Country Pub. The staff are warm friendly and really treat you well. I’ve just finished off a lovely Sunday Roast thanks to Chef Lee. The flavours were amazing. I had the meat mix and it was delicious. All In all a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thanks Guys Ash

Gibt sich als Restaurant. Wir saßen draußen mit anderen Gästen. Der Tisch klebte stellenweise noch etwas. Das hätte uns zu denken geben müssen. Nachdem sich nach 10 Minuten niemand vom Service blicken ließ, ging ich rein an die Theke. Ja, bestellen kann man hier oder online vom Tisch aus mit QR-code. Steht nirgends. Also am Tresen bestellt. Es dauerte 50 Minuten für "fast food". Alles etwas klebrig, keiner hat gefragt, ob man noch etwas trinken möchte. Fish u Chips waren naja, Burger war ok. Insgesamt so gar nicht unser Ding.

Probably the worst Chinese food I have had in a long time. Not sure what beef is used in the curry but it was almost powder like texture, three random half mushrooms and tonnes of onions. Very poor. The duck was not shredded duck as advertised and portion size was small for the price. The munchy box came in a tray and is very small compared to other take aways. Would not use again.

It's a mixed bag, can Di the best food, depends on chef, order tonight a accepted then cancelled, friends over now too late to order elsewhere, cheers fir that!

We have had the occasional takeaway from here a few times in the past sometimes been a bit hit and miss, but last night we had the set meal for 4. What a mountain of food!!! Food quality was very good and very tasty. We will certainly be back more often.

Visited for lunch and WOW! Service was amazing and so were the sandwiches. Can’t wait to try more of what they offer! We had the fish dinger sandwich, Italian and Lebanese Chicken. All the sandwiches had fantastic flavours. Also great selection of drinks behind the bar.

Really awesome!!! Staffs are friendly. Location is really nice. Open upto 3am!!! Recommend

Easily the tastiest pork sandwich I have had in my memory. I choose the sage and onion stuffing with apple sauce and every bite was delicious! Coming from the states and having had a lot of pulled pork sandwiches, I was pleasantly surprised by how much better this is in comparison. Was curious about adding the stuffing but it resulted in an especially succulent result. I would not hesitate to return and if I lived in Edinburgh, this would easily replace my weekly lunches at Chick Fil A!

Can’t understand why some reviewers put the boot into this great café, which is tucked away on a local-knowledge walking path. I don’t love the brutalist architecture, nor does there ever seem to be anyone working in the attached “sculpture workshop”, but the brunch menu is well-curated and everything we ate was extremely tasty. Couldn’t fault the quality of the service either. We are returning this week for a special event featuring a competitively-priced gourmet “spring has sprung” evening meal, happy to be making another visit to an excellent spot.

Maravilloso restaurante junto al maravilloso hotel boutique de Salisbury. La comida era muy buena por su dinero y el personal era muy encantador.

Aunque fue noche extremadamente concurrida , el personal fue atento y el servicio fue bastante rápido La comida era muy deliciosa y las opciones de menú eran grandes El precio también era razonable en comparación con la calidad de los alimentos y el servicio ¡Mi hijo me llevó a este lugar para celebrar mi graduación de maestría y tomó la decisión correcta!

We were in for drinks and wow. Sich a good selection of beers and staff who could explain the different tastes. would recommend.

En Pret A Manger me comí el sándwich de pollo y aguacate que estaba bien. Los precios no estaban mal. El personal podría ser mejor, más amable, es decir

Lovely family breakfast. Good service, friendly staff and excellent food. The vegan pancakes were delicious. Everyone enjoyed their food. We went back later for lunch take-away. Am sure we will be back.
