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

Probably the best fish and chips in town. Haggis is also highly recommended 🥰

This is some really good oink here, I passed by in the morning when for the walk on the hill and saw the pork being freshly pulled. Lovely! Service was fast

We loved our breakfast at Society! So good. And Katie was awesome!

I came here a few days ago. I booked a 12:30pm slot, and asked with 2 hours notice if we could move our slot to 1:30pm. The staff said no, and needed 48 hours notice to do so. I would understand this notice if it was busy or fully booked, but when I arrived there were around 10 other people and only 8 cats (not a lot compared to other cat cafes). Even though I am aware this is the only cat cafe that I am aware of in Scotland, it wasn't busy at all and found no reason not to move our booking for an hour later. In fact, we booked our visit on a Wednesday, purposefuly on the least busy time! After all this, we arrived half an hour late, and were given a talk on how to treat the cats- the four of us who arrived all own cats individually. I am aware the worker didn't know this, but it wasted our time further. The worker in specific was hostile and condescending, and we were a little upset prior to the visit due to the timing conflicts (which we are partially to blame for), so his attitude wasn't appreciated. In addition to this, the menu was overly expensive, although the female server was quite nice. Then, all 8 cats were asleep! Not one was awake the entire visit nor did any have any interest in us. You'd imagine for £12 per person the cats would be walking around, but no. Only go here if you fancy sitting and wasting your time for £12 and overly priced drinks, with hostile workers and cats who don't want to know you at all. Do not visit!

Food is authentic and high quality. Staff are brilliant and the service is great. Atmosphere is happy and bubbly, music and plenty buzz.

Fun little 'hidden' bar tucked behind an old fortune teller theme park attraction. The drinks are great and there's a fun grabber where you can get random flavours and the bar staff will use those to make a cocktail. The champagne foam cocktail was incredible. This is a great place for couples.

Great atmosphere even on a Tuesday night - helped by the "pub quiz" that our table won handsomely! To judge by the experience of our table of five, the food and drink here is good, and fair value for money.

Good coffee, sells Aeropress, great service. Go.

Small foodie restaurant with nearly all of the menu being gluten free and enough vegetarian options. Make a reservation on the weekends as it fills up quickly.

UPDATE OCTOBER 2024: ✨ OMG! ✨ That Greenwoods magic is still fully shinin' and I am delighted! Return trip here on our Scottish hols this half term and honestly, it was just as good as two years ago, it fully lived up to the rose tinted hype of my memory and I am so so pleased. Had the courgette salad this time, very healthy, very demure. Fab service, great vibes. Would recommend booking to avoid disappointment. Have already booked our next visit, for December 2024 and can't wait to see you soon 😘😘 REVIEW FROM DECEMBER 2022: Amazing breakfast stack pancakes 🥞 I would fully recommend this place for breakfast, brunch, and everything in between. Bacon, sausage, egg, tomato - and pancakes and maple syrup! Not only is the food amazing, but the staff are warm and friendly and the decor is cosy and modern. We had a table by the window so got to see Edinburgh waking up whilst we ate, which was lovely too. Thankyou Greenwoods for a star breakfast ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Not great, especially for people with dietary restrictions. Menu isn't very descriptive, with dishes including cheap elements that aren't listed to bulk the plates out. I'm unable to eat potatoes, and asked to swap the potatoes for some green leaves or veg. They refused, which is really unkind, and told me the only swap they would be willing to make was to fries - weird suggestion for someone who has just told them they can't eat potatoes. On arrival, the meat platter was a bit chewy, the gyros a bit bland. Wouldn't go again or recommend it.

Delicious, I always come here and leave crazy

Best pizza in the town very friendly atmosphere

I was hoping to pay by bitcoin as advertised, been told by staff their terminal is not updated and i can not pay by BTC lightning.... disappointed, giving 1 hour journey to find out

This is my newest favourite place in Edinburgh. The food is fantastic and the place is very cozy.
