The best restaurants in Portobello / Craigmillar Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Amazing food, atmosphere and customer service. Best shop edinburgh. Big love from marseille.

Lots of tasty treats on offer here. Delicious loaves too. Very friendly service.

Went to Malvarosa on a Wednesday night with some friends and it was a big beautiful hearty homely meal, and a very enjoyable evening. We ordered one or two small plates for each of us, shared some paella, and then went through the whole dessert menu. Food was excellent. Delicious, and cooked and plated right beside us in the small kitchen area. It was exciting to see the measured theatricalilty that goes into creating the dishes, now that they have been perfected through years of service. Among the small plates, I believe we liked them all. The aubergines were great. Chicken, fish, prawn, all were tasty. Loved the gravy on the meatballs, had to order extra bread (which was excellent as well) to soak it all up. The paella was fantastic as well. Special mention goes out to the Choco Loco (coffee with coconut rum and cream) and the Churros (comes with excellent thick chocolate sauce - with just enough bitterness) and the basque cheese cake (just the right hint of sourness). All in all a very enjoyable meal. It strikes the proper balance between being a reliable neighborhood restaurant but also a quiet special place. Recommended.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We recently needed last-minute catering for a group of 20, and Butternut went above and beyond! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Every dish felt crafted with care, and the flavors were spot-on. The team was so accommodating and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend Butternut for any catering needs or just a cozy spot to grab a bite. Thank you 🙏

Lovely place for the day, but the food from vendors on the beach was a little bit expensive.

Had a beautiful birthday breakfast here at Butternut Squash. The delicious French toast and omelette was amazing. Then I was surprised with a strawberry filled shortbread cookie for my birthday! Such sweet women! Thank you 🫶🏼

Excellent beach front food outlet.

Loved this little gem. Wish it didn’t close, hope the restaurant starts up again

Superb cafe, food is always perfect. Not one complaint at all, lovely staff and very friendly. Won’t use another cafe in this area, definitely recommend. White House kitchen 10/10

Like another review mentioned, you get very small portions of coffee here while the prices are quite high. It's very much a modern hip Edinburgh cafe but out in Portobello. The staff we interacted with was really nice, and the layout was good. Has baby changing facilities, which is always a plus. Around £35 for two small coffees, two brownies, and two toasties, which is normal Edinburgh rates, tbh but still quite costly.

Una pequeña tienda de delicatessen con un stock interesante, pero me sorprendió un poco la ausencia de precauciones de covid, así que no volveré a entrar; tienes que confiar mucho en los minoristas de alimentos en tiempos de covid, pero si no se molestan en hacerlo use una cara que cubra en un espacio tan pequeño y confinado, ¿qué más no se está haciendo?

We try to visit the Little Green Van whenever we visit Portobello to walk along the beach with our dog. Great coffee (offers several options of non dairy milk) and always a great selection of cakes. Opted for the vegan carrot cake which was delicious. Expect to queue, but worth it. They offer dog biscuits and cushions for using for sitting on the prom wall.

I was at the Golf Club with friends for a Christmas dinner. The food was excellent and the staff attentive but not overpoweringly so. It was very enjoyable and I do recommend it as a dining out experience. However, there was one thing missing. No disabled access. I realise that generally speaking, those who frequent a golf club will be fairly fit and mobile, but for the mobility challenged visitor, entry to the building is awkward to say the least. I am disappointed that I will be unlikely to visit again, solely for that reason.

Great pub with quite fancy menu

brilliant meal very good and excellent delivery service too.
