The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Genuinely the worst Chinese I’ve ever had, Carrots with the Salt and Chilli Chicken balls and chips too? Odd. The rice was like a slimy stodgy brick.

Never had a Chinese meal for years, decided on a take away from Ginger Express ! Wrong decision !! Ordered online at 6.20pm £12.55 for lemon chicken and fried rice. Two phone calls later it arrived at 7.40pm cold ! Rice was ok once microwaved BUT chicken was very very tough, old, it went in the bin !! Disgusted !

I enjoyed the two large pizzas—Mix Asian and Chicken Club Special—from Chicken Club for £21 as a home takeaway. The food was delicious, and I appreciate that they serve halal food and accept card payments. However, I suggest providing insulated packaging to keep the pizzas warm, especially in the city’s harsh weather. I also noticed that their hygiene and halal certificates displayed on the walls were 4–6 years old and appeared to be expired, which should be updated for customer confidence.

This is the place we stopped to have something to eat and drink. We were very pleased, the food was very good. The staff was very friendly.

After arriving in Edinburgh late yesterday and not being able to locate a restaurant that did not require reservations we opted for a pub for dinner tonight. And we are very happy we did. We mostly interacted with the manager Jamie although the bartender was pleseant as well. Jamie was very helpful offering suggestions and insight into their food and drink options. Service was great, drinks refreshing and the food delicious! We tried haggies for the first time with their special- haggies fritters and they were very good. Have to say this evening was by far one of the best dining experiences so far on our Europe trip! Highly recommended if you are in the area.

It was a terrible decision to eat here. Several places were packed, we were all hungry, and this place had available seating. Should have been our first clue! My daughter-in-law ordered a Caesar salad with chicken....chicken was dry and no cheese. She asked for cheese and after 10 minutes the waited came back and said, "We ran out of cheese yesterday." I ordered the pizza, no words can describe how bad it was. My husband ordered the nachos. Talk about stale, oil soaked, gross food. My granddaughter ordered the club without bacon. Guess who got bacon? Our son ordered the Cajun wrap and he said it was good. All in all, not a place I would ever recommend.

Really friendly staff, food was exactly what I expected and wanted, did what it said on the tin, no surprises, very enjoyable lunch

Our go to place when we are in Edinburgh meeting up with a friend. Never been disappointed with the service or the food, and once again we had spot on service and delicious food. Thank you!

We had a great experience! Kenneth was personable and friendly. We had the Korean Chicken burger and Bacon Roll, both were delicious. It was a great way to start our travels.

Visitamos Antico para un almuerzo tardío con la familia, nuestra mesa, como hemos solicitado y aunque no pueden garantizarlo, tenía una hermosa vista del puente ferroviario. La comida era buena y también el servicio, le faltaba un poco de ambiente, pero era bastante tranquilo, estoy seguro de que estaría ocupado. Sin duda volveremos, preferiblemente, con un día soleado : )

Enjoyable long lunch, Christmas set menu, great value. Coley dish tasty and cooked well. Nice creme brulee too. Washed down with some decent wine and a superb view over the Forth made for a nice afternoon.

Delicious food. Friendly delivery guy. Fantastic!

Visited Prezzo due brief visit in Edinburgh. It looked really great on the photos so decided to give it a go. We turned up in restaurant on time and waited 5 minutes to be welcomed as front of the house keep disappearing to sort someone else out. We have been seated at the small table, when having booth booked online. The atmosphere overall was really loud and we just felt ignored, on the couple of occasions we had to stand up and go to the bar to ask for service such as drinks. The only good experience during our visit was food. Really delicious and well made. We’re disappointed with our visit and hoped to have better time.

La familia se reúne el día de San Valentín. El lugar estaba lleno de gente. Callum nuestro camarero era de primera clase, pero corrió harapiento debido a la evidente falta de personal. ¡Vamos Gerencia, revisen sus rotaciones! El lugar parecía que necesitaba una limpieza profunda debido al gran volumen de clientes que deben pasar por sus puertas. Definitivamente no es la mejor comida, los ingredientes de pizza eran escasos y secos, la cocina simplemente no podía seguir el ritmo. La comida era mediocre. Lástima realmente, ya que mi familia son grandes fans de Pizza Express en general, pero este restaurante en particular está en urgente necesidad de una actualización y atención al detalle. Edimburgo tiene muchas mejores ofertas en la manga. Estrella de oro para Callum, aunque por su profesionalidad y fabuloso servicio al cliente, estaba muy tranquilo bajo una inmensa presión.

Wife and I popped in here for a quick lunch today and the food really surpassed our expectations. My wife really enjoyed her fusilli arrabbiata ('not too spicy, just right') and my lasagne looked fantastic and tasted even better. The service was excellent and we were really looked after by Emilia. Excellent value for money. Thank you.
