The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Placed an order at 9:10 with delivery estimated 20-40 mins on just eat, they show up at 10:45. No hint of an apology, nothing. Absolute joke, wont be back.

Lovely food and good service. Always enjoy our visit. Also child and dog friendly. Have been visiting regularly over the last few months and always consistently good food and service.

I’ve been here a couple of times and really like it. There’s a takeaway counter at the front of the venue with a scattering of tables to the rear. It’s a bit French theme with brilliant sandwiches and pastries. I went for a smoke salmon sandwich and cream cheese baguette. It wasn’t the biggest but it was beautifully presented and really filling. Nice wee touch with the old school juice bottles as well. It’s not as hectic as others in the area. There’s music in the background that doesn’t interfere with the ambience. The menu isn’t the biggest but what it does it does expertly well.

I used collection for my family, very tidy clean shop. Nice local shop kebab and chips very good. Parking free

We went here for breakfast on our first morning in Edinburgh. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. They brought water to the table straight away and I had a really lovely coffee. We had french toast and the BBQ Sub. Both were so good. Would definitely go back!

Muy decepcionado. Entró a las 11: 45 para algún almuerzo con niños pequeños y a pesar de que estaba menos de la mitad lleno tomó casi 20 minutos para tomar nuestra orden, luego después de esperar 45 minutos nos informaron que nuestra comida ni siquiera había sido comenzada. Tuve que irme después de estar allí más de una hora y conseguir comida de la cooperativa para mis hijos hambrientos. Obviamente hubo un problema en la cocina y estas cosas pasan pero la falta completa de comunicación del personal fue inaceptable y toda la experiencia fue muy frustrante

Evitar a toda costa. Tomó £ 18 de mí sin entregar mi pedido y luego afirmó que recibí el pedido cuando me disputaba el cargo con el banco. Gente horrible.

Great wee cafe for a coffee or a bite to eat. Fairly basic menu but tasty food. The cakes are amazing. Staff are very friendly. Would recommend.

Tenía una buena sopa y pastel, ambos encantadores El café no era nada especial, lo cual fue decepcionante. La selección de pasteles se veía bien

Como en toda Gran Bretaña, este Costa brinda lo esperado... este local en particular se encuentra en la estación de Waverley, desde parten los trenes hacia Inglaterra.

Came to Edinburgh on a 2-day stint to get a taste of the city. Seen this coffee place as one of the recommended and went in eager to taste. Upon entering, it was an unwelcoming atmosphere. In the brief interaction with one of the guys, he was extremely rude and embarrassed my friend in front of other patrons. We were tourists and visiting a number of places to get a sense of Edinburgh in general, incl. all the different recommended bakeries/coffee shops etc. We were not aware of the 'ONLY SPEND IN OUR SHOP, EAT FROM OUR SHOP' policy they had in place, and so took a snack from a local bakery that we seen recommended. Had we known that he was going to inhospitably call it out infront of everyone and make us feel unwelcome, we would never have went in. From a tourist point, its restrictive and detracts from the overall experience of exploring the area's culinary offerings - maybe the guys should keep this in mind for future given that Edinburgh is a city full of tourists? I should also mention that I initially was going to buy a snack from their cafe, as my friend had their own but I had none, however there was only one non-fresh looking croissant left on display? So we were not even aware they even did snacks. We then sat in uncomfortable silence for the duration, quickly drank the coffee, waited to pay (at least 7minutes) a hefty sum for a tiny coffee. Definitely dont recommend for tourists and will not be back

Quería apoyar a la Galería Nacional con una rápida parada de café. Desafortunadamente el café fue el peor que he probado en mucho tiempo - era insípido. Incluso me preguntaba si la cafetera no funcionaba. Las mesas no se despejaron lo suficientemente rápido. Pasteles muy caros. Lo siento, no volveré.

The food here is what you'd expect. Various levels of sugar and sweetness, which, if this is what you are after you are in the right place. The reason for the three stars, was the restaurant was not particularly clean. Tables were sticky, receipts were left on floors, floors were grubby, toilet was dirty. To be fair, there was only a single person working and he was doing his best to cover everything, but he really could've used some help.

I asked specifically if there was onions in the sweet chilli chicken as most bought in ones do. I have a onion intolerance I was assured by the staff member there wasn’t onions in the mix - when taking a bite I was unsure and the after the second I tasted a onion and then looked through the mix and there was onions I spent the next hour and a bit vommiting. I would hate for someone who was actually allergic to be told wrong information. It is shocking, staff should know what is in things or if unsure check the ingredients before selling a product, I would have just had a ham and cheese and wouldn’t have been a waste of money and me being ill. Staff member was really nice which made this more of a let down.
