The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Popped by this newly refurbished police box for a drink after work today and wow! It was perfectly brewed, great tasting and really friendly service. What better way to spend an afternoon than chilling in the sunny St Patrick Square with a coffee! Would totally recommend and will definitely be back.

I had the vegan churros with Biscoff sauce and it was absolutely delicious. The owner was so nice and friendly too. I am definitely be going back! Really glad I found this place!

All of the food I've tried so far has been absolutely delicious some of the dishes can be a little spicy but never disappointed because it has so much flavour!

One of the best falafels I have ever had😍😍😍

We stumbled across this place whilst trying to find somewhere to eat on a Saturday night. They had one last table and we dived in. The owner was so so welcoming and super helpful, recommending what to try and explaining how the menu worked. We’ve done countless Chinese/Japanese/Korean BBQs but never one combined with a hot pot. Fabulous food! Lovely atmosphere. Would definitely recommend and would absolutely come back next time we’re in Edinburgh

Yummy. Lovely range of home made Greek savoury pastries. Generously sized and ours were still warm. Took them home and heated them up as a lockdown treat from a local shop. Worth a stop buy - you can quickly park right outside if you watch out for wardens and they are currently serving from the door. Will be back again to try some different ones.

One of my favourite vegan eats in Edinburgh. The hearty soup is perfect during the cold winter months. Can't miss the tasty vegan cakes 🧡

Last year, mum and I found Max Bakes. Mum had haggis and black pudding and I had feta and spinach. I had never had haggis or black pudding (always put off by the ingredients 🤦‍♀️) I tried mums and vice versa...both were delicious! This year we planned to hunt Max Bakes down, worrying he may not be here this year, and much to our delight we found him in the exact same spot! (later we found out he is a permanent fixture not just for The Fringe) We order two haggis and black pudding rolls and they were as good as we remembered! Two very happy travellers 😁

Visité este encantador café acogedor estilo Hong Kong con mi amigo. Tiene muy buen ambiente y agradable y precios razonables de las comidas. Tuve curry de ternera muy sabroso con arroz y el mejor fue French Toast! Recomiendo este encantador café a todos los que les gusta la cocina china / Hong Kong!

We came across this chap in grass market walking during our Edinburgh vegan food trip. We had the blueberry cheesecake recommended by the other reviewer, totally agree with the sentiment, outstanding in flavour and texture. We also tried the brownie, tiffin and some cookie marshmallow sandwich creation (yeah we like vegan cakes!). Everything was handmade, the chap took pride in his work and was super friendly. 10 out of 10, if this business was nearer where I live, I would need to buy another wardrobe! Go visit!

I love that Edinburgh now has take-away that doesn't involve food saturated in grease. The cauliflower Mac and cheese is delicious as are the prawns. My partner had the pork belly and dauphinoise potatoes, said he couldn't fault it! Thanks back burner!

Encontré este café en el casco antiguo de la ciudad cuando necesitas de refrescos, excelentes largish tazas de té y enormes trozos de bizcocho casero. Las grandes ventanas para ver el mundo pasar, todo a un precio de ganga! Esta verdad es difícil de superar.

La comida y la relación calidad-precio son increíbles, pero el personal lleno de bromas y extremadamente amable está fuera de este mundo, me encanta este lugar

We were gleefully welcomed by our proprietor, Vivienne at 11pm, well past her normal check-in time. That was a delight in itself! She has lived in Edinburgh her whole life so she is a wealth of information regarding things to do, places to go and sites to see. Truthfully, you can't do Edinburgh wrong. It is a lovely lovely city. We were within walking distance of the Royal Mile and enjoyed the 15-20 minute stroll into the heart of the city. Our rooms were spotless and quiet. Breakfast was divine and Vivienne is every bit as warm and friendly in the morning as she is late in the evening! The whole experience was a 10! Thankyou Vivienne!!
