The best restaurants in Southside / Newington Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white - great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!

Sensational flavours and professional, warm, efficient service. I shall tell many others. I shall return again and again!

Fantástico ambiente. Maravillosa selección de tés y tartas caseras, todas servidas en servicios de té antiguos que luego puede comprar si lo desea. De hecho, todo está a la venta a un precio negociable. Me encanta este lugar sin pretensiones escondido a pocos pasos del centro de la ciudad. Asegúrate de reservar. Uno de los mejores lugares de Edimburgo.

Had the turban tandoori, and honestly with the chilli sauce it’s probably the most flavoursome panini I have ever had. Top quality food, impeccable taste, unbelievable good service all in one. Can’t wait for my next trip to Baget stuffed

The classes and the tutors are excellent. Immersive so you are asked to speak Spanish throughout each lesson, however the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. I've found my Spanish conversation has come on a lot since I started at El Patio, so I plan to keep going with the classes.

We went here to get our laundry done. Findley is AMAZING. He stayed open longer just to finish our loads of wash. The set up is different from the states. You go in and he will wash as much as you can fit in a basket. He provides the detergent and fabric softener. We chose not to do softener. Our friends did one load and we did two loads. They were 19 GBP's per load. Then he tells you what time to come back or if you don't time it you just go back and your laundry is in a basket. We decided to wait so we had tea and coffee while waiting. Findley is super nice. His father was there, also. His father is a bit of a character but didn't take his comments personally. We were in desperate need for clean clothes as we had been traveling for 9 days already and had 15 more ahead of us! I had a sore throat and Findley suggested a tea that would help and he gave me salt to gargle with water when we got back to our hotel. It was the IBIS (South Bridge/Royal Mile) by the way and I DO NOT recommend that hotel! Anyway, it was raining when we were done and Findley suggested we take a taxi back so I wouldn't have to walk in the rain with my sore throat. He booked the taxi and it was there within minutes. BTW it was an OK walk from the IBIS but I was jut happy to stay dry with all our laundry! Super considerate and super nice. Our Laundry came out great and was so happy to have clean clothes, again. Highly recommend the Laundry Kafe!

these are the best cakes and pastries in edinburgh! such a hidden gem - the pistachio and cardomom buns are to die for! if you're visiting you have to drop by

Although a limited menu it is a great stop. Nice cheeses, meats and other things with a Spanish twist. A small variety of deli items to go, as well. Great, friendly staff, too!

By chance I found this place with my little boy. English breakfast was delicious, the service is fast and people are kind. Price is fair. Thank you

I would give 4* but the frangipane I had wasn't... It was a soft sponge. Also, a personal gripe is that I like a handle on my mug for coffee.

Popped in for some food and coffee. We had the sausage roll and the Cornish pastie with chorizo. The food hit the spot it was lovely and warm and the coffee was excellent. Place was very busy and managed to get table inside. Also had a lovely rhubarb slice of cake which was just yummy.

Popped into Picnics Takeaway for a quick lunch, chose their spicy chicken wrap, husband had spicy chicken on baguette. Both were stuffed with delicious chicken breast, chargrilled with spices, fresh salad, cheese, chilli sauce. Very filling, excellent value and friendly service.

Delicious classic Brazilian dish - Feijoada on a Saturday is a must, black beans pork stew served with rice , farinha (mandjoca flour) and fried cabbage, with chilli sauce. Authentic as you could get. Definitely recommend , very tasty and filling !! The best food for a Saturday !!

El servicio es muy amable y amable, siempre tienen las mejores comidas y son muy complacientes con su comida ya que mi novio es vegetariano y siempre cambian sus recetas para adaptarse a él. Su Yukgaejong y okonimiyaki es el mejor que he tenido, incluso mejor que algunos de Japón. Tienen un precio muy razonable, además de la increíble elección que tienen y el servicio que brindan. Su hija y su hijo son una delicia absoluta y la familia ha hecho maravillosamente para llevar su cultura a esta parte del mundo. Ten su pastel de matcha y te prometo que será la mejor parte de tu día <3
