The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

This is a church cafe run by volunteers. It says it is an outreach cafe and an asset to the community - but this is hardly the case when the prices are off putting and more expensive than most cafes run as businesses. A very poor cappuccino cost £3.40 and my baked potato was nearly £8. It is set up in a church hall and the volunteers are pleasant but not exactly efficient (my baked potato was left on an adjacent table until I asked where it was). All the members of our table had their food delivered at different times so some were finished before others had started (we ordered together).

I visited The Dunstane restaurant a couple of weeks ago to try their new menu and was blown away by the quality of the food. The menu celebrates the finest seasonal and locally sourced produce, and you can tell how much care and attention has gone into carefully curating the dishes. We enjoyed the Highland rack of lamb and dry-aged sirloin of beef. Couldn’t fault the mains, both were presented beautifully and tasted as good as they looked. The lobster ravioli with the beef was outstanding, would have loved more of this but all the flavours complimented each other so well. The pistachio brûlée was out of this world, such a unique dish but the flavours were stunning and worked so well together. Whilst the menu is at a higher price point, I highly recommend booking for a celebration or special occasion. Such a lovely experience overall

Este café nunca decepciona, hemos estado en muchas ocasiones y el café, la comida y el personal son todos fantásticos. Seguiré adelante allí.

Good cocktails, use advanced cocktail techniques and achieve good results. It seems to be closed, just knock on the door and wait

Bought a cheese pizza from this place a few times, warm slices that taste delicious. Used to give leftovers of pizza to my friends and I a lot.

Lovely homecooked food which we couldnt fault. The only negative was being forced to pay a 10% mandatory service charge. Tips should be optional, they should not be forced on customers.

Excelente comida china auténtica, tuvimos Char Sui, huevo y arroz hervido. me recuerda el tipo de comida que solía tener en Hong Kong.

I have been going to this chippy for about 40 years, sorry to see it closed, it will be hard to find a replacement.

Definitely recommend korean chicken karake bite and spicy salmon crunch 😋

An experience of the most resplendent calibre! A veritable cornucopia of gastronomic ecstasy spanning a sublime two hours, wherein each morsel—be it saccharine or savoury—was executed with laudable finesse and presented amidst a tableau of unabashed opulence. Particular commendation must be bestowed upon the diminutive haggis, a miniature marvel of culinary craft. The attending staff exemplified consummate professionalism—ever-vigilant yet never obtrusive, striking that elusive balance with aplomb. Given the grandeur of the locale, the expenditure proved eminently judicious. Indubitably, the crowning jewel of our Edinburgh sojourn.

Clearly understaffed today. Such a shame. 3 staff to serve 1 floor while a private event was going on. Not the staff fault but management clearly.

Best service, tasty fresh soups and amazing breakfast baps !!

Terrible place food was expensive and came under cooked 2 times I mentioned it to the staff and they was very rude about it (they are also messaging people to rate 5 stars for money so half of theses reviews are fake)

You need to update your location in Google maps Mitsos! First time to be "catfished" by a restaurant! 🫣😅 Felt like the myth of the flying Dutch the effect of Fata Morgana... the restaurant was completely shut for this specific location of the Google maps!

La sopa está más que deliciosa. Este cafecito es imprescindible, yo tenía el camote asado y mi amiga tenía la lenteja y el sésamo. El pan de masa madre es una necesidad para mojar. Volveré mañana.
