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

Had lunch with some friends, and as a first visit, it certainly lived up to expectations. It was very busy, but very little waiting time.

Dîner en famille chez Bertie's, les avis nous ont plutôt incité à visiter cette adresse. Le décor et l'accueil sont très bien mais nous avons été un peu déçus de la qualité des fish and chips entre autres. Ce n'était pas forcément les moins bons que nous ayons goûter mais certainement pas les meilleurs. Nous nous sommes laissés tenter par c'est drôle d'idée de dessert, la barre mars frie et c'est encore plus décevant. Attention ils ajoutent 10 % d'office en pourboire sur la note finale vous pouvez refuser mais c'est plus que fortement imposé.

开心果冰淇淋真的无敌，吃起来几乎跟真的烤开心果一样，恰倒好处的甜味，点睛之笔的微咸，甚至有一点点烤制坚果的焦香。唯一的问题是口感跟其他冰淇淋比起来比较稠，但这真的无关紧要。同样质量的gelato在国内卖得绝对更贵。建议去Instagram上蹲他们的菜单（前几张图有个针的是置顶，找不是置顶的帖子第二张图，大约早上十点），看到pistachio直接去吃，绝活中的绝活。 黑巧克力冰淇淋非常浓郁，浓郁到了一种有点过头的境地。喜欢吃黑巧的绝对会很喜欢，但起码也得是能接受70%的程度。 榛子冰淇淋也很不错，但并不是非常惊艳。榛子的香味有点过头。 最重要的是性价比很不错。两个球四块五，三个球五块五，比某a开头的gelato便宜一磅，并且料下的狠多了。 热巧克力我怀疑是黑巧克力化了之后加奶搞的，过于浓郁了，甚至有种黑巧的酸味。虽然3.5gbp一杯但实际分量小到喝几口就没了，不是特别值吧。 周末没去过，听说排队人很多。所以建议george square下课了顺道去吃一下，十几分钟的路程。 Pistachio ice-cream is top-notch. Taste like real roast pistachio, with perfectly balanced sweetness and saltiness. Dark choc and hazelnut are both great but not even close to pistachio flavor. A must-try. I would suggest following their instagram page and look for daily menu, and when you see pistachio, just go there. Try to pick workdays cuz I heard there will be a long queue at weekends.

Average Turkish cuisine. Portions nit as generous as other Turkish restaurants I gave been. Meat was a bit smelly and very little in the dish. Prices are higher than usual specially for such small portions. Staff very polite and caring. It us at a corner of a traffic junctions and you can get there only by foot. Efes beer is served in original bottle as ur is in Turkey. Small venue and not very decorative and presentable.

staff friendly and kind coffee is tasty all bakery product great

Location: Palm Court is located in the stunning Balmoral Hotel. Vibe/Ambiance: The atmosphere is grandiose and beautifully decorated. The domed ceiling, lit-up trees, and a harpist playing in the background create a relaxing and somewhat romantic experience. Even the bathrooms are lovely! However, it does feel a little stuffy since the room isn't huge and there's minimal natural light. Food: We opted for afternoon tea with a bottle of wine. I ordered a fall drink—a gingerbread cappuccino—and it was delightful! I highly recommend it. The food and presentation were great. We started with a small cup of soup, then moved on to the "afternoon tea" selection of sandwiches and scones. The food was delicious, especially the scones. The sandwiches were good but not particularly memorable. The final course featured a variety of desserts. By the time we got to dessert, we were all quite full from the sandwiches and scones! The desserts were good. Also, they easily accommodated a vegetarian diet, which is great. Service: The service was fantastic, as you'd expect from an establishment within the Balmoral Hotel. Our server, Freddy, was very attentive and courteous. Price: It’s expensive—there's no other way around it—but that’s to be expected at the Balmoral Hotel! There are many less expensive afternoon tea experiences in Edinburgh, but if you’re looking for 5-star service and a romantic, relaxing time, Palm Court is your place. Overall: We enjoyed our time at Palm Court. They accommodated a vegetarian diet and allowed us to bring a 10-week-old baby in her pram, which was nice. They situated us so the pram was tucked away from other customers. While I’m unsure we’ll rush back because it is expensive and a unique experience, I can definitely recommend it if you're looking for an upscale afternoon tea experience.

We had a Scottish breakfast there. Good value for money. A beautiful plate served with a smile and kindness by the staff.

The most amazing ramen (Hakata-Ya) I’ve ever had in my life. The broth is delicious, full of flavour and perfectly balanced. Ordered plum sake instead of a cocktail and was absolutely happy with my choice. The service is 5 starts, very attentive staff, polite and caring. Highly recommend!

Technology is poor, WiFi slow, Aircon noisy

Called in here in our way back up the Royal Mile from Holyrood on a very wet Saturday lunchtime. It was clearly a cafe which attracted our American visitors and we could see why as it was very quaint. We just had soup and bread because we were having an early tea but I am pleased to say it was served piping hot and in lovely dishes. I would be happy to eat here again.

I have a terrible moment with ugly and unpolite treatment by the staff Not recommended at all.

A café with a livery atmosphere. A nice place to collect oneself and chill for a bit. Coffee was very nice (cortado), and I had a carrot cake which was tasty but a bit too sweet for me. Daily soup is also available if one is in a search for a quick lunch. + The staff was lovely!

Our 2nd visit to this restaurant. Book a table as it is very popular. Delicious home cooked pizzas. Super friendly and efficient service from Irina. Really lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend.
