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

had previously given a good review as when we'd been before it was lovely but our last visit was disappointing. there was only a few people in and our food took forever even though we only ordered 2 pizzas and a garlic bread. the bread took so long we ended up asking for it to go.. eventually after an hour after finishing the pizza we had to leave as our parking was expiring.. we realised the garlic bread was sitting on the counter in a takeaway box but nobody had given it to us. wonder how long it sat there! proper weird a shame as pizzas used to be great but this time, it wasn't worth it at all :(

We chanced on this beautiful cafe and we were so glad we did. The salmon croissant with goat cheese was the best ever! And so was the quiche ... I am here for a few days but would definitely like to come here once before I leave.

Tomamos cafés, helados y lemon cake. Todo muy rico y en un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor. Súper recomendable en la zona de Cannongate

Lovely little cafe, with friendly and helpful staff and a great selection of food. It was a perfect place to meet friends from Rome and the Netherlands. Our group ordered a wide variety of choices from the menu including the soup, Scottish breakfast, scrambled eggs and salmon, smoothies, waffles, carrot cake and tea - all delicious. The atmosphere is warm and inviting and the owl cushions very comfy. You could miss it walking by, but well worth searching it out and popping in. It extends a way back - a bit of a tardis for seating.

Tropezó con esta joya encantadora mientras estaba en Edimburgo. Cálida bienvenida, gran elección de menú, servicio fantástico y a un precio razonable.

got a hot chocolate and a cappuccino, had one of the best cappuccino's in edinburgh. got a bit lost and the lovely young lady helped me find what i needed, i am very greatful for all her help and simply loved the hot drinks i got from the Waverley Cafe. Im going there again before i head home, thank you soo much.

Comida deliciosa, ambiente cálido, excelente ubicación y excelente servicio al cliente. Este es nuestro segundo día consecutivo para venir aquí a almorzar. Es una visita obligada. Edimburgo es sorprendentemente caliente durante el verano.

El mejor desayuno escocés que he tenido; manos abajo. Excelente servicio al cliente (que puede ser raro en estos días), los empleados son atentos y muy divertidos. El café también era bastante bueno. Si está en Edimburgo, hágase un favor y comience el día con una comida aquí.

Support the only independent coffee shop on Princess Street and get value and quality.A little stall for coffee, hot chocolate or pastries. Very friendly staff and barista who knows how to make a good coffee. Intend to re-visit for brunch next time I'm in Edinburgh.

Pasé a almorzar por casualidad y me alegro de que lo hiciéramos. Los sándwiches se veían fantásticos (tenía el cubano que estaba lleno de buen sabor) y mi pareja tenía el Dominican Rice Bowl (picante y delicioso). Servicio amable y una cálida bienvenida. Recomendamos la Guajira!

Truly outstanding meal and service!

The best place ever! We had an issue with data and the phone didn't work ( problem with different country numbers) and couldn't take the order, but the kitchen chef made it for free. 🫶 Food is Great! Love it.

Me decidí a comprarme un helado de aquí una de las tantas veces que pasé por el lado y en que momento no paré antes.... Unos helados tremendos, desde el momento que probé uno ya cada día que estuve en Edimburgo fui a por uno. Para mi el Salted Caramel estaba delicioso.

Beautiful setting in the heart of wonderful Edinburgh. The welcome and attention from staff was exceptional and made our evening. Helena in particular was first class. We sampled mousaka, spanakopita and aubergine iman and all were exceptional. A truly wonderful Greek cuisine experience. Thank you to all concerned. We shall be back.

This is undoubtedly the home of the best bacon rolls and fruit scones in Edinburgh. We moved office and still have our weekly roll run here as tried others near our new office and nothing compares. Lovely staff and food always fresh and of a good quality. Good variety at lunchtime too. Support local and try it out.
