The best restaurants in Almond Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Bamboo has been our local Chinese of choice for the past 3 years now. Family who visit always rate it above the other ones in the area too, and trying to be as honest as possible with the review. We ordered takeaway this weekend with a variety of dishes, and sadly every single one of them had issues. Vege spring rolls - usually really tasty, these were overcooked and bland. Salt and Chilli chips - they are provided in a cardboard box, rather than the paper bag other things come in. As a result, even after a 5 min journey home they were completely soggy, and not remotely spicy. Prawn toast - Passable, again, a bit soggy from the issues with packaging. Special fried rice - Fish was really bland and the remaining meat was incredibly fatty - my wife ended up spitting it out. Noodles main was more of a special, given it had a random hair inside it. Overall, standards just seem to have completely dropped. Bland food, lacking in spice or flavour and definitely not fresh. Will be giving it a wide berth for the foreseeable future.

Good selection of drinks and friendly, helpful staff. The manageress really goes the extra mile to help the customers.

Me pasé por un café y pastel y nos alegramos de que lo hiciéramos. En medio de la calle High Street, el servicio era bueno y la calidad de los bollos de café y canela era mejor. Vale la pena visitar

I Thoroughly enjoyed my fish and chips at The Hawes Inn thanks to Chris the Chef. Our waitress Claire was exceptional and extremely helpful with my partners allergens making sure her food was safe to eat. She was very professional and polite which made us feel very comfortable and welcome. I’m sure we’ll visit again sometime soon.

Thanks to Mario for helping with the menu. I'm coeliac and he advised me on what was available. The chef prepared my meal separately in the oven,much appreciated 👍🏼 ..maybe some gf bread would have been nice.

I always walk by and never see the place open much anymore

Wow, what a delicious Sunday roast By far exceeding my expectations and great service from Lawrie We will be back soon

Great 2 course deal. Went with my friend for a catch-up lunch. Just fabulous and was served by Max who we could not fault his service - excellent asset to the company. Lovely burger 🍔 too.

First visit to this place and the food is awesome. I had the Montreal cheesesteak and it was full of flavour. Also had the poutine, something I’ve always wanted to try and it was delicious. Super quick service and friendly staff. Will defo be back.

This place could be great and I hate leaving a bad review. But the food was pretty poor. Short rib was a large bit of bone with a bit of grizzle on it. Chicken dry. Prawns looked good. Beef tartare inedible. Staff lovely and view great but they need to step it up with food. Certainly won’t be returning but give it a go. It was maybe just an off night. Very expensive for what it was. I don’t mind expensive meals if it’s good but this was probably the worst food I’ve eaten in a restaurant in a long time. The shop fitters were in doing upstairs so perhaps they are just in a temporary guddle. They have a lovely outside area that looks right over to the rail bridge so it’s a lovely spot. Worth trying in case the chef was off that night.

I used to do the karaoke in this wee gem of a place. Not sure if it's still open as I'm sure i seen a lease sign up at front of it 🤔

Great service as always, lovely place to relax and even Ollie enjoy his pup cup 🐶🐶

Took our 18 month old. She loved it all. We went a Friday morning during school term which was ideal. It can get very busy at times but what can you expect. They do great food and prices aren’t terrible. Only downside is parking. Plenty of it however full of potholes and massive puddles. Still 5 stars.

Great place. Sandra in reception was great and very hospitable. She even suggested few places that we can visit. Rooms were great.

This is a wonderful place with a lovely owner and the people from the village. I had an honour to spend an evening in the pub with the locals, and it was my best evening during the whole schottland trip. I would never think it can be! I have never experienced sich a friendly and open atmosphere! I will love to come again. Thank you, Dave, Alan, Claire, and all other guys at that eve!
