In Divino Enoteca, I had an amazing time! Particularly the wood-fired pizzas, the food was fantastic. It was the ideal setting for a casual dinner—warm yet energetic at the same time.

Lively spot filled with locals. Great beer & whiskey selection. The “bunker” downstairs was quiet & comfortable while the main room was packed and loud (in a good way). Good bar food.

Stopped in as a walk in, able to get a table no problem. Had the vegan gluten free breakfast which was incredible. Fast, friendly service. Also had vegan cakes including Oreo cheesecake which looked soooo good. Highly recommend, I will be back!

We visited for a birthday/anniversary dinner and we really enjoyed ourselves. Service was good, efficient and friendly, and the food was excellent. The menu is a little limited, but I think that is understandable these days, and the fact that it is changed daily suggests that the chef is making best use of seasonal ingredients. My starter of Cullen skink was not a very French dish, but it did have French cheese added, and it was delicious, so we'll allow that! For my main, I had the duck breast, which was beautifully cooked and came with a delicious buttery sauce. My dessert - pear and almond frangipane tart - was a generous portion, and delicious. As well as the main menu, there is a "prix fixe" "Cafe Classics" option, although there is only one dish option for each course. There is a great selection of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, and a good wine list with a number available by the glass. The restaurant is small and very cosy, with a real French bistro feel. We have been occasional visitors here for many years - we couldn't remember how long, but certainly over 20! - and it has never disappointed.

One of my favourite places in Edinburgh. Lovely spot to sit outside for hours on a sunny day with a fantastic wine and cheese selection.

Genuine Afghan cuisine but we found very oily (ghee) and didn't realise it was a dry bar only!

The food is immaculate. The staff are so lovely and welcoming and the scenery is lovely. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone who is out for a trip in Edinburgh. Also the music is fire, this is written by a kid BTW so that is a compliment, and my mum loved it too. Definitely recommend, give it six stars if I could.

Enjoy a bit of history with your pint. Personally I like the poster from the 1970 Edinburgh Commonwealth Games. Also known as the IX Games. Sometimes they comedy or pub quizzes or live music. They always have T & G

We have just had a 3 generation dinner and it was excellent. The staff were laid back but also attentive. The food was fresh and full of flavour. We particularly loved the Hong Kong style dishes. Great value and we are looking forward to coming back

I recently visited this pub when visiting the City. The pub was quite busy, has a large TV and staff were very friendly. I only had drinks so can't comment on food or bar snacks. I recommend visiting if your in the area.
