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

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.

Wowza! Great food. The lovely staff (Steven & his lovely mum) chatted to us. Street food style dining Very casual but great.

Truly outstanding meal and service!

Absolutely lovely place in Haymarket ! Since the cafe opened we’ve been going for Sunday lunches and brunches. From the moment you go in, the owners welcome you and get you seated and you feel looked after. The food is wonderful and you can see it’s freshly made behind the counter. The coffee is lovely and they offer lots of gluten free and other cakes that are often home baked ! They also are dog friendly and adore dogs, have treats for them and water bowls . The place Loui and Greg (owners) created is a little community where customers come back regularly and chat. Absolute gem in Edinburgh. Defo must go when in Edinburgh!

Estábamos en el camino al cementerio Greyfriars Kirkyard y paramos aquí para un bocado rápido. No es un gran establecimiento, pero es tranquilo y acogedor, con una disposición limitada de asientos (6 - 8 personas) Propiedad de una pareja dulce parece y estaban bastante ocupados con sus órdenes... El menú se ve bastante tentador teniendo paninis, wraps, bocadillos... Mi esposa pidió una envoltura [envoltura caliente mexicana], y vi su sopa del día [sopa de papa de puerro] en el menú y se veía bastante tentador. Pregunté si podía probarlo antes de pedirlo. Y estuvieron de acuerdo... Estaba delicioso, era una sopa de batata con un poco de pimienta negra. La envoltura era crujiente, estaba asada magníficamente con relleno sabroso y también lo estaba la sopa... lugar fresco, acogedor, buena comida y dueños cálidos... 4 / 5 PS: Cobran 50 / 70 peniques extra por la cena - en los arreglos, eso está bien.

This hidden gem was amazing! The plant based cinnamon rolls were amazing and the vegan sandwich we shared was the best sandwich I’ve had in an age and I eat meat From the sourdough, to every part of the filling it was delicious..

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.

We tried here for the first time today. There’s a very clean, fresh and welcoming atmosphere in this very attractive cafe, situated near the stunning Royal Botanic Garden. There’s a very appealing choice of cakes and scones etc. We shared a cheese and chive scone which was delicious, plus we enjoyed excellent tea and coffee. We intend to return when we are next on foot, in Inverleith and wholeheartedly recommend Krem Karamel.

Bittersweet is glorious. Absolutely exquisite cocktails, delicious small plates of Italian food and detailed and attentive service. The venue is beautiful and the staff were passionate and expressive in their shared mission to ensure we had a wonderful time and experienced a sensory explosion of flavour in everything we drank and ate. Visiting from London I was pleasantly shocked that the bill was so reasonable for such a feast in flavour. I honestly can’t think of a meal I’ve enjoyed more and am already looking forward to returning when back in Edinburgh for the festival. Leith has a new jewel in its culinary crown and it’s Bittersweet.

They offer wide variety of fillings for rolls and sandwiches. It is best option for a quick lunch during work hours. Also rates are quite reasonable.

Mi esposa y yo pasamos unos días en Edimburgo, y Preacher se convirtió en mi lugar de café. La gente es muy agradable, y el café y la comida son deliciosos. Un buen día me tomé un sándwich de huevo y queso y al siguiente un pastelito. Me gusta mi café bastante básico, así que tomé un café con leche sin azúcar. Fue un café agradable y rico. Sin duda recomendaría Preacher’s.

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.

Cinco de nosotros acabamos de cenar en Sen Viet Vegan. Compartimos el plato para empezar y fue increíble! Sería bueno mostrar el precio por cabeza para esto en el menú. Las comidas principales también eran muy agradables - un montón para elegir y las diversas sopas Pho puntuaron muy bien. El personal era servicial y amable y el restaurante era cálido, con un ambiente agradable. No sabíamos que era BYoB, pero había una tienda cerca de vino y cervezas. Era efectivo solo la noche que fuimos, que por casualidad teníamos con nosotros. Lo recomiendo encarecidamente y sin duda volveremos.

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.
