The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

I asked yum yum an assortment of sandwiches for a party for my kids. I told them to keep it simple, 2 veggie options, 2 types of bread... Everything was done perfectly right, and tasty. They did a really reasonable price. But I didn't expect them to warp the sandwiches in a special packaging to keep it longer, with a label with all the ingredients, allergens and use by dates... On top of that, every time I go there, they are always very friendly.

Great prices and actual food (like breakfast rolls) not just pastries ☺️ but they do have homemade pastries as well, including donuts!

A true gem in the heart of Edinburgh! From the moment we walked in, we were captivated by the warm atmosphere and welcoming staff. This restaurant has it all: incredible, mouth-watering food, exceptionally friendly and attentive service, and fantastic vibes. I would highly recommend this restaurant!

Best Japanese food I've eaten since coming back from Japan.

The most incredible pancakes I have ever had! The staff were amazing and Abi the chef was exceptional! If you’re in Edinburgh it’s a must!

Best Scone in town. The red fruits scone is unbelievable. Baked fresh and delicious. The staff is super kind. Very welcoming atmosphere. ☕️🧁

Small, unpretentious family restaurant, very friendly service, I tried the Filipino cuisine dishes, very tasty, comfy food. Varied menu including Chinese and Japanese cuisine

Brilliant pizza, some of the best I've had. The coffee was made perfectly. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff that will look after you. Very reasonably priced for such great quality and service.

Homemade food served by its own owner; family atmosphere and the hostess spreads the joy of living and cooking

Food is superb 👌 we were group of 8 people having breakfast and all of us was impressed and super happy. Staff is very nice, not too long waiting and prices are reasonable. Thank you.

Very tasty doughnuts and great customer service.

My wife had acute disease and I cancelled my reservation 6 hours before, called the restaurant nobody answered and was charged for reservation. Incredible !!! Below the response is a lie. I called at least 4 hours before reservation and it was a serious sickness and nobody picked up the phone. I have evidence! A restaurant that lies!!!

Great place for afternoon tea. Fantastic value and super quality sandwiches and cakes.

A family member suggested I visit this place, and I’m glad I did! The pastries were delightful, though slightly sweeter than I’d usually prefer, but still very enjoyable. The lotus one was my favourite!
