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

Best breakfast spot in Edinburgh! Highly recommend for veggies. The staff are great and super helpful! Will be back as it’s that good!

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 :(

Myself and three friends stumbled on this lovely place on our way to the Grassmarket. We received a warm, friendly welcome from the staff on arrival and were seated immediately. We chose breakfast items which were all freshly prepared and of high quality. You get good, homemade food and there is plenty to choose from on the menu. We were so impressed that we returned for more on the following day!! Lovely, friendly staff and a very pleasant vibe to the place. Can highly recommend x

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

Me gustó mucho la comida ya que soy un gran fan de haggis! Así que personalmente recomendaría este lugar a cualquier persona en el área local.

Excellent food and a lovely atmosphere in a quirky setting. Very pleasant, helpful staff. Would highly recommend for a great place to eat.

This bistro is 1.5 miles from the East end of Princes St. On the bus route up North & South bridge to Newington (about 10 minutes). This is small, friendly, elegant restaurant. The owner is so kind and welcoming. As local residents we love coming here as the quality of the ingredients and cooking is superb. It’s not your typical Indian menu. Dishes we enjoy are Crispy fried okra, Dirty Samosa chat, Prawn Malabar, Ghee roast chicken and Lal mas. They also serve a Tasting Menu. Vegetarian/Vegans also catered for. A small wine list. Would love to see a Tapss style evening event as their amuse bouche was outstanding.

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.

We had early breakfast in this small deli with our family of 5. Menu and the whole experience were something out of the ordinary. Everything was made to order and really good, for example the wonderful toasted strawberry and brie filled croissant. We enjoyed also the thoughtful service as we ordered even something outside of the menu. Prices reasonable.

Loved this place. Great for either take away or eating in. I could honestly have tried everything on the menu..it all looked so fresh and healthy. Such a refreshing change from the chain restaurants!

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.

Lovely atmosphere, service was friendly and attentive, and most importantly I ate the best Vietnamese food I never experienced in Scotland.

Fantastic cafe, great breakfast rolls, delicious coffee, fabulous freshly squeezed OJ. But particularly lovely service - really friendly and fantastically efficient - can’t recommend highly enough 👌👌 🤩

This place simply does not disappoint. Whether it is the speedy and friendly service or the beautifully laid out food that fulfills all your cravings, you must visit this place. There are a lot of vegan restaurants that boast being great, yet they lack the key ingredient: simply great food, without anything extra. For a vegan restaurant, I look for comforting flavours that deliver and make me and my tummy happy. I have finally found a place I can openly recommend to everyone. Reasonable prices, great services, friendly atmosphere and food you can actually be happy with. I need to go back here, asap. You should too.

Great fresh baguettes and panni's cooked to order buy a lovely friendly server. Very reasonably priced and filled us up.
