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

A great time! Go there with your eyes closed, the addition is also a good surprise given the quality!!

A wonderful place a stone's throw from Princes Street. If you're tired of burgers and fish and chips and want to treat yourself to a plate of pasta you absolutely have to stop by! Handmade and well-seasoned pasta is certainly not easy to find in Scotland, with them you will feel like you are at home. We ate lasagna, walnut triangles, focaccia, cantucci and tiramisu, all delicious! Thanks again to Milena and all her wonderful team for their hospitality ❤️

A family member suggested I visit this place, and I’m glad I did! The pastries were delightful, though slightly sweeter than I’d usually prefer, but still very enjoyable. The lotus one was my favourite!

Consistently great service from a busy and engaging team. Superb eats, coffee etc etc. tiny space with tables outside but the staff lavish attention on customers.

Beautiful little cocktail bar, stylishly decorated and lit. Lovely chatty barmen behind the counter.

I love this place. Great vibes, excellent service too. Staff are very knowledgeable about the wine, there is so much to choose from. Pasta from next door (artisan pasta maker) is one of the best pastas I’ve ever had.

Passing by one day and being married to a Frenchwoman, it pays to spot things like this. I booked online and was called moments later, apologising for the lack of a high chair for our wee laddie. No bother I cried as I was already salivating at the menu. Lewis, Esteban and the hidden Scott and Jennifer (chef and owner respectively) were awesome. Lewis was engaging but not in your face. Proudly explained the Kombucha ingredients (she had the sea buckthorn and orange whilst I went for Onion and Squash) were foraged. Everything is understated quality. The tables look roughhouse but are lived in and have a well worn sheen. The cutlery was brought to you on linen and per diner, not a jingle jangle of steelworks. We had the Brunch du Marche and Brunch Satine to share. The pastries were lush. Just enough hint of hazelnut to the chocolate filling and the creme pat wasn't too sweet, not too plain. The house baked bread was dense and flavoursome and the butter made on sight. The eggs were perfect, and seasoned to perfection and the mountain of boudoin noir (black pudd to you Scots) was super, alongside the french tatties. The salmon just oozed quality, the cheese and charcuterie were served at the right temperature and even my coffee cup had a feel to it; properly chosen by someone who cares. Our son slept peacefully for 85 minutes which was plenty to enjoy a wonderful meal in delightful surrounds. A coupe had gorgeous looking brioche rolls on a neighbouring table, and 4 chaps had the brunch and a family brought daughter and boy to another and all left happy. We will be back. Vive Satine, vive la France.

A very nice Thai lunch from the fixed menu. Draught Singha beer is good, I could half a half and husband could have a pint. Not a large restaurant, so best to book. We'll be back.

Cozy place with excellent food, coffee and desserts. Friendly staff as well, very pleasant place to hang out!

Quaint and quiet little cafe with some of the nicest staff you will meet. They have a fantastic selection of cupcakes and various other baked goods such as scones, cake slices as well as soup of the day and a variety of hot drinks. The Lemon Berry cupcake was zesty with a fresh berry centre that wasn't too sharp at all.

Fantastic restaurant, highly recommend if you’re into a Japanese diner. Very friendly staff, absolutely great food and surprisingly tasty sushi. Cozy vibes, would love to come back.

Bell's Diner opened in St. Stephen Street, Stockbridge, Edinburgh in 1974, the same year my wife and I moved into Stockbridge. They served the best burgers I've ever tasted. And no sweetish American-style buns and slobbery 'mayo'. The wine list starts at £21 a bottle. We now live 20 miles away but travelled in to have our final Bell's meal last week as the restaurant will soon be closing down. So, probably too late now for folks to get a table. Sad news indeed.

An interesting experience in a quirky setting. We were offered tasters of various drinks. Friendly staff. Hope to visit again.

Popped in for lunch purely by chance and oh so glad we did. Food was amazing and service very friendly. Only negative was that it was rather cold but there was a fan heater placed by our table. This won’t put us off returning when next in Edinburgh. Highly recommend this restaurant.

First time at Kim’s bulgogi and my friends and I were instantly greeted by the friendly front staff. After ordering, the food all came quickly, but the food was still all very high quality!! The soy dakgangjang was crispy and the meat was succulent, topped with mouthwatering sweet soy sauce, and the bibimbap came in a filling portion with plenty of sauce to go with it. Overall, very good experience, would definitely come again!
