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

Lovely food and service. It's a bit pricey for the portion sizes, but the food and experience were great.

May not have done enough research but I was under the impression that this was a bit like a deli with indoor seating. Turns out the stuff is all premade on a shelf like Tesco meal deal or Greggs sandwiches, they then just heat them up. Also 1 singular table. Walked out within a minute of walking in without food as £7 for a prepackaged sandwich with no seating is expensive.

Good atmosphere and reasonable prices but we had a very poor experience. Ordered two coffees which then took around 10-15 minutes to arrive (they weren’t that busy) then within a couple of minutes of getting them another member of staff came round to tell us that they were closing in 10 minutes. They then proceeded to clear up around us making it very clear they wanted rid. Not impressed. If you do decide to visit, suggest you check how long they will give you to drink/eat. If we hadn’t have paid up front would have walked out.

A bit late for a review however myself and my family where here in Feb during a visit for the six nations. It was my highlight of the trip (maybe not the highlight Ireland did win). The steak was superb. Excellently cooked. I’m going back to Edinburgh next February and can’t wait to come back to this restaurant

Love this shop , plenty of choice , great Scottish comedy merchandise, their coffee beans are fabulous and the staff are friendly and helpful

Good service but food quality was less than average. Sushi was Ok but chicken teriyaki was bad, most of it was plain rice, chicken was scarce and tasteless, and there was an evident lack of vegetables. Sad if you consider they charge £9 per Teriyaki dish. We won’t come back.

Food was amazing, i especially enjiyed the oysters with a crunch. Servers were delightful. Prices are very reasonable. Make sure to reserve ahead.

Wonderful food and atmosphere. The staff were great, and the cocktails are phenomenal. Would recommend for sure!

Arrived at 20.40 the kitchen was due to close but they still accommodated us We had the best steak pie ever compliments to the chef Would highly recommend Thank you

Nice hotel, but there are a few details that could be improved: you need to push the room door with force, or it won’t lock properly—in fact, it doesn’t lock at all unless pushed firmly. The TV isn’t mounted quite straight—it has a slight tilt on the wall. Not major, but noticeable. The safe box and fridge are not secured to the shelves, so when you pull the door, the entire fridge or safe box moves with it.

Had calamari and pizza. Fresh, full of flavour. A+ customer service. Welcoming and lovely atmosphere

Great Storytellers Afternoon tea. Quirky and fun. Food Great. Service exceptional. Definitely would go back

The food is very delicious. We ordered the Sentinel Burger, which came with brisket and buffalo fries. The taste was excellent, honestly.

Just a quiet drink as we explored the royal mile . Bar staff very welcoming and friendly. Lovely quaint bar for a nice relaxing drink

Crispy, golden batter, flaky fish, proper chips – the core components are excellent. The atmosphere is lively, and portions are generous. Importantly, they offer options suitable for Muslim dietary requirements, expanding their accessibility. In short, Bertie's provides a solid, classic fish and chips experience with inclusive options. Recommended. Digestion protocols engaged.
