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

A delicious and generously priced meal! Highly recommended.

Words can’t truly describe how amazing every aspect of our dinner was. It was our last night in Edinburgh and we definitely ended our trip on a high note. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We ordered from the A La Carte menu and from my lobster rolls starter to the cod main, it was like we were on an exquisite culinary journey which I did not want to end. Iulian, our waiter, was very helpful in answering any questions we had about our meals and Phil, the sommelier, kindly suggested wine pairings which were delightful to say the least. I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about dining at Fhior, but the atmosphere was very unpretentious and welcoming. I will definitely return if ever in Edinburgh again. Chef Scott creates some amazing dishes! Talent like I’ve never experienced. Do yourself a favour and go if you have a chance!

Amazing place with the nicest owner ! We arrived quite late and even though she was planning to close she made us great food and the best vietnamese drip coffee ever ! Everything was perfect, will definitely come back again :))

Was on my lunch break and went to Bobby's for a toasty and the lovely staff allowed me to pay the following day because my card didn't work. This really helped my day as otherwise I'd have had to return to work hungry. It made me feel really hopeful about how kind people can be. Thank you so much! The toasty was also delicious and served nice and hot!

Cute little and authentic bistro right next to Haymarket train station. The food is freshly prepared and the sandwiches/panini are great! There are also soups, sweet baked goods and salads. The service was also very pleasant and courteous. Not just worth a detour for people in transit.

Walked in to try some of their fish and chips. We were seated properly for a table of two in the upstairs section, which is very nice. The fish and chips itself was on the oiler side so if you like earlier food, then this would definitely hit the spot otherwise Would say that it was all right. They did offer some sauces on the side chips however, if you’re not a chip, you could substitute in onion rings for an extra cost. for two people to orders, efficient chips and a drink. It came up to around 40 pounds so pricewise it was decent but still on the more expensive side for what you got.

Staff are so friendly and welcoming. Food and drink were phenomenal as always. Highly recommended.

Great sushi place, delicious food. Green tea Ice cream is amazing!

Great place to have a drink and listen to good Jazz music.

Not one to leave bad reviews but I dare anyone to look how dirty the restaurant is when they go in, sat in the corner next to a pillar. Pillar and window was caked in sauce that's been there a lot longer than the one day as the pillar has a fabric cover which I know they ain't cleaning hahahaha!... Price was reasonable considering the location but the service sucked bro, blue cheese was like milk and the honey mustard was just honey with a tickle of mustard... I get everyone has different ideas of how sauces are supposed to be and I get the restaurant can have their sauce whatever way they want... But bro, clean your restaurant!

Elle . R is very kind and good at her job

Un amigo sugirió visitar Lowdown, así que fuimos a comprobarlo durante un viaje de compras. El personal era muy amable y servicial. Recomienda si te gusta un frijol limpio y cuidadosamente seleccionado. Volveremos la próxima vez que estemos en la ciudad.

We are locals and love coming here to this great, cosy, friendly restaurant. Our evening begins in their downstairs wine bar before heading up the restaurant, and back down for a nightcap. The menu seems to change daily. Last night my partner praised the beef Bourgogne. The pheasant & partridge main was great. I’d recommend the Puilly Fume wine and the French dessert wine to accompany the cheese. This is an amazing, family run establishment and so friendly.

Absolutely disgusted by the attitude of the front counter lady. We arrived without a booking and had mentally prepared for the possibility of being turned away or having to wait for a long time. There were two groups ahead of us - she greeted them and told them they would get a table in 10 minutes. She completely ignored us (first red flag). After I made eye contact with her, she curtly told us she didn’t have a table available in a frustrating manner (second red flag) and then walked away. With no clear information given, we assumed we could queue for our turn. Five minutes later, she noticed we were still in line behind the two groups and shouted at us, asking why we were still there since she had already told us there was no table. We explained that we didn’t mind waiting, but her response was appalling: 'I don’t have a table for you, do you want to wait for 1.5 hours?' We understand it’s a busy café, but she could have politely informed us about the 1.5-hour wait time instead of shouting. After reading past reviews, I realized we weren’t the only ones who had this kind of experience. We were initially drawn to this brunch café by its positive food reviews, but the treatment we received was horrendous. They have absolutely no interest in customer service, and the first impression was terrible. I’m glad we didn’t spend a penny supporting a business like this.

My absolutely favorite breakfast spot in Edinburgh! Just writing this review makes me long for their delicious Full Scottish Breakfast (highly recommend!). The friendliness and warmth of the staff makes me feel welcomed and at ease. Even when this charming and cozy restaurant is full and busy, I still feel well tended to and appreciate the calmness and professionalism of the waiters. I also enjoy the Scottish touches -- like receiving a serving of haggis with the a miniature Scottish flag proudly placed in the center of the iconic dish. Will definitely return!
