The best restaurants in Colinton / Fairmilehead Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

On cold and very wet December days, this cafe was a great place to warm up. I suspect it would be a great 'slice of Italy' at any time of the year. Excellent hot and tasty panini, homemade scones and hot coffee...very welcome and much needed. Great attentive and friendly staff. We will ready return (and have) to this great cafe. For us, a bonus is that it is nowhere near the city centre.

Great coffee and cake with a scenic view, been multiple times with both friends and family. Always high quality food and pleasant staff ! Would recommend

Súper buena comida, personal amable, conozca a todos los que vienen y se toman el tiempo de conocerlos a todos y aprender su habitual.

Delicious food! Lovely staff and peaceful atmosphere. Come here for lunch every now and then and fantastic every time. Great soup, mac and cheese and paninis. Good prices, a gem of a lunch spot. Thank you!

Mushroom soup was fantastic and a great portion for the price, friendly service. Will definitely be back when next in the area

Bruschetta pleasant base tasting well with the tomatoes gently heated with a careful touch of seasoning to bring up their natural flavour. Calamari lightly cooked, pleasantly al dente and not tough.The seasoned coating was good. It's now rarer to be given "tender" calamari as (in my experience) they have to be good and fresh, then cooked promptly and briefly. But September is a good month and the Forth supports shoals of same, so little excuse other than a chef's casual timing. The ravioli was my second dish but I swapped it with my sister who had ordered a rack of lamb. Though looking well grilled, it was found to be effectivly raw. My bent, is for meat served blue but not raw. Unlike beef, lamb on the bone becomes difficult to cut as any slightly warmed adjoining fat becomes extremely slippy and exceedingly difficult to cut. And eating, without resorting to chewing! makesw a nonsense of "tender" lamb. By ignoring the fat, I still enjoyed it but found the waitress's response as to why it was so little cooked..... unsatisfactory ..... apparently "an In-house" style yet not mentioned on the menu ? So glad the chef doesn't have a preference for raw potatoes ! I'll check next time. regards John Perreur-Lloyd

Party of 4 at 18.30 tp 20 30. On a Friday. Very good service, and excellent food. Friendly staff nice atmosphere.

One of my favourites in town. - food is really good. Fresh, tasty and typical Scottish food. Scones are very good. - prices are ok for Edinburgh - suitable for family, friends and nice for weekends - booking recommended - they have some highland cows near there, which are really cute 🥺🥰 - area is very beautiful for a walk and spend a day walking around.

Piatti di ottima qualità.. personale super cordiale e posto molto facile da raggiungere prezzi nella media. Consigliato!

Stopped for lunch when walking water of leith path.well made tasty food served quickly.

The order was late and when I tried calling the restaurant they didn't answer, but the food was very good and I would order from them again even if it came late

A very enjoyable visit to the Charwood with 3 tasty courses

Lovely Cafe, very friendly efficient service and great food. A tad chilly though, kept my coat on.

Ordered a take away, was probably one of the best pizza I have had in a long time. Was made to perfection with fully loaded toppings and cheese, would try it again and again.
