The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

We came in at 5pm on a Friday in December, even though it was a fully booked night the staff managed to find us a table. There were multiple vegan options for starters and mains, and a lovely vegan trifle with vegan cream for dessert! The bang bang tofu was great and came on top of a fresh veg salad. The sweet potato pocket was gorgerous, the seasoning was delicious and the tahini sauce made the main a 10/10. The staff were really friendly and the atmosphere was great. The main came out a tiny bit cold but given it was a busy Friday evening I didn’t mind! Overall we had a lovely night, drinks were great, really nice to see somewhere with multiple unique vegan options per course.

Proper little pub nice friendly locals and a good pint of tenants

My husband and I went for dinner here with our 16 m o before attending the Botanics at night event. Service was good and food was great. The staff were also really good with our son. Particularly love that they offer child portions of almost everything in the main menu rather than just something fried and chips! Only thing that was missing is they don't have baby changing facilities. However the staff were able to provide a private space for us to do a nappy change when required and were very apologetic not to have a space. We are already planning to go back soon 😊

Nice little café with really pleasant and friendly people :). Sat there and worked while waiting for my car. With free wi-fi which I needed.

Amazing restaurant , quality of food was great and the staff very attentive. Can't recommend enough

Food excellent and could not fault the service 👌

In company for a get together with some friends...oblivious behind the bar how loud the music was ,could hardly hear ourselves....won't be back.

I visited this restaurant because I saw someone post a picture of the ramen. I am now telling you to also visit this restaurant because the ramen was amazing. Beautiful restaurant, friendly staff, and delicious food!

Great little place with a small range of home-cooked food. Very friendly and warmhearted service and best brownie, I've ever tried!! If we still have time, we definitely come around again! Best wishes from Cologne, Germany:)

The best Thai food in Edinburgh. We ordered starters, curry and noodles and everything was delicious. Perfectly spiced, comforting and all round yummy. The staff was so sweet, and they offer student discount. A lot of veggie and vegan options too. 10/10 would come back here again.

Met a guy called Josh Baker? Not really much of a Baker but can mix tunes like class 👍

Great boozer we usually go their when dundee united are playing hibs. our bus gets booked in the management & staff can't do enough for us, foods amazing

Came in for a night cap based on recommendation, lovely spot with great whisky choice, good beers and friendly staff and locals. Hope to pop in again soon

Local cafe with good food and reasonable prices, the staff is always friendly and they serve the Scottish traditional food :)

Really disappointing. Had gone has had great reviews, but service was flat and not special. Restaurant was chilly, basic set up, paper nspkins, no candles for dinner. Cold bisque which I sent back but no further check all was good. Felt it was expensive and wouldn't return.
