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

The staff were really friendly and took the time to go through all the different flavour combinations. The price was really good considering all the cakes are baked on-site and they offer a student discount. The white chocolate filled cupcake I had was really moist and tasty without being overly sweet. The latte I had tasted more like a cappuccino but considering how new the business is I feel they are still finding their feet. There are only 2 tables and 2 chairs (so seating for about 4) but the decor is so cute and the seating was incredibly comfortable.

Had our wedding reception here and highly recommend it. Great venue and fab staff. We were married in Greece a few weeks ago and they had our wedding pics running on a tv screen and projector in main hall which was a really nice touch. Canapes were arranged for beginning of the night and a buffet later on with good selection of food.

lovely food, lovely place, lovely people

What words come to mind when I think back on my experience at Condita? Heart, Desire, Innovation, Thought, Perspective, Playfulness, Intelligence and Beauty to only name a few. From the moment we arrived, the warmth we felt from not only the staff, but the ambiance, the restaurant itself, felt alive. Our hosts made us feel like family instantly, kindly taking our coats and seating us at our table (1 of only few) and discussing how our tour would unfold, from how the menu worked to a history of the wines they offered. Nothing was spared to give us the best understanding of just how much care was put into cultivating an amazing opportunity to eat, drink, learn, absorb and appreciate everything Chef and his team were there to do. The food, was unbelievable, each course was hit after hit, easily the best food I’ve ever eaten (and I’ve been to many places and tasted much). This menu was incomparable, and the wines were phenomenal accompaniments, taking each dish further than I thought possible. I’ve never had a better experience, and the next time I’m in Edinburgh, Condita will be where I’m found. Bravo to the team, you far exceeded any expectation that I may have had, you hit the land running and burned the all of the shipsb. But that’s enough from me.

Please go to this restaurant. Small, family run, the food was to die for. The coconut duck and chocolate traditional dessert not to be missed. We will all be back.

It's a small shop, the taste is good, and the portions are not too big. Overall, it's cheap and cost-effective, and there's a 10% discount on cash. This is one of the few restaurants in the city where you can eat for less than ten pounds. Students, if you have enough money, don’t eat supermarket meal deals every day.

I accidentally walked into this bakery before it opened today and the lovely person working was nice enough to let me buy something that was already ready. The brown butter almond muffin with strawberry creamcheese icing and jam was DELICIOUS! I would've taken a photo, but I didn't have the selfcontroll to stop eating my treat :)

Absolutely recommended when you return from Arthur's seat and at any other time. Unbelievable good choice of whisky's.

En el Rollo sirve comida fantástica y el personal es absolutamente encantador. He comido allí dos veces. La salchicha vegana es genial. Muy recomendable.

The best language school. Super engaging lessons with plenty of practise, fun games, revision of lessons in an unusual format, and small groups. Teachers are the reason I keep coming back; they have a great sense of humour, make you feel very relaxed and turn us, international students, from strangers to friends. You won't regret coming and will return.

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

Fantastic pizza, exceptional quality and well-priced

Conseguimos nuestra ropa hecha mientras estábamos de turismo por waaay menos de lo que el hotel quería. Nos perdimos los perros, pero el depurador era genial y la ubicación era muy conveniente.

Kate’s Café fue una maravilla desde el momento en que entras por la puerta y te recibe cálidamente Kate, ofreciéndote un café mientras decides qué deliciosa comida te gustaría comer! Una buena gama para elegir - el bollo de ruibarbo con mermelada casera fue con mucho el mejor bollo que he comido! Bien hecho Kate, volvería en un santiamén.
