The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Lovely food - very inspired menu, some different touches. I really like the decor. Staff were friendly and helpful

Ontzettend lekker gegeten. Vriendelijke bediening. Lamscurry en chickentandoori was erg goed. Ook de pappadew als voorgerecht is een aanbeveling.

Absolutely gorgeous food, particularly the specials. Really good portion sizes (so much I ended up taking some home for later!) The staff are very friendly and it’s a great night out

Popped in for a casual pint and found a really relaxing pub with knowledgeable staff and an interesting line up of craft beers, both on tap and in cans. Didn't try the food but I couldn't resist a cheeky peep at the table next to me when their food arrived and it looked great. There is a wonderfully secluded beer garden here for when the weather improves too. Sitting just off the Royal Mile, it's the perfect bar to escape to to get away from the throngs of tourists.

Our server was spot on; he had a lot of spiel to remember and he aced it! The vibe from all the staff was chill and friendly but effortlessly professional. Drinks were delicious, I really appreciated including the ABV of each cocktail on the menu.

Great pre theatre meal at Solti. Super friendly staff and gave us great recommendations. My lamb shank just fell off the bone and was delicious. The rest of my party all loved their choices and we finished off the meal with unusual but scrumptious desert of nutella peshawari nan with kulfi and Mango sorbet. Beautifully presented and just tasted amazing. Would definitely return and would recommend if you are eating before seeing a show over the road at the theatre or during festival time.

Young lad behind the counter has the worst attitude absolutely atrocious service food was mediocre. For a wrap, go next door

Innecesariamente caro. Cenamos con bebidas por el mismo precio en un restaurante italiano mucho más exclusivo. La comida no es auténtica cocina turca: carne quemada, arroz agrio y pan insuficiente. Hay una zona de aparcamiento de pago, que cuesta £ 6 por hora. - - - - - Gereksiz pahalı. Aynı fiyata çok daha lüks bir İtalyan restoranında yemek yiyip içki içtik. Yemekler otantik Türk mutfağı değil — yanmış et, ekşi pirinç ve yeterli ekmek yoktu. Ücretli bir otopark var, saati £ 6 .

I really wanted to like this place! It's located in a charming part of Leith and looks like a sweet place for a date night. It has a legit-looking pizza oven and a nice atmosphere with good lighting that is not too loud or crowded. This being said, I was intensely disappointed (devastated?) by the pizza. I can't imagine the other food would be better because it was elementally bad. By this, I mean the basic elements were tasteless: dough and sauce. You may write me off or judge (at your own peril) because I'm lactose intolerant, and my partner is vegan, so we get pizza without cheese. I'm from Philly, where we have the most delicious tomato pies that will rearrange your cheese-centric universe. Pizza is simple, and it's about dough and sauce. Cheese is the icing on the cake. You don't eat cake for the icing do you? DO YOU? The waitress was kind, but hilariously brought us more pizza when we said we didn't like the pizza, and that it was flavorless and sad. Ha. She brought more sadness! This time, a smaller version of the mushroom pizza, with butter on the mushrooms, which she hoped would fix the tasteless problem. *Butter is not THE or a key ingredient to good pizza! We took a few bites to be polite, but damn, to complete this ramble with a question to humanity, how on earth are there so many glowing reviews? Are these people dead in the tongue? Note, I was in a good mood headed in to the place and left in a good mood, but poorer (expensive!!) and full in a bad way during my bike ride to the pub. We won't be back to this spot, and the search continues after numerous failed attempts for a good pizza spot in Edinburgh. Will this be a fruitless endeavor? I think I can't last long here without good pizza. It's existential. I hope this brings about a flavor/soul search for Origano. I don't write this in spite at all, just hoping for better food and real love and effort in the food to come from hearing my experience. Perhaps my partner and I are outliers, but also, maybe people are just being polite. Time will tell.

Proper pub, spotlessly clean, friendly welcome from the landlord Kevin, interested and engaged with his customers, the McEwans 80 shilling is outstanding and the mince pies are great, if you're a visitor to Edinburgh or a local there's no place better to go than the diggers ( Athletic Arms)

Educated Flea now Bistro Coco - same horse, different jockey! Educated Flea has been taken over by the former Head Chef and is now known as 'Bistro Coco'. From the same premises with a similar style of cuisine, Bistro Coco continues to serve high quality food and is already building on its renewed 5* review rating via TripAdvisor. The King is Dead; Long Live The King!

What a lovely wee find - and such amazing home-made cakes

Una experiencia fantástica. La pizza fue la mejor que he probado y nada como esa basura “nappy” de Nápoles que se hace tan rápido porque los chefs italianos necesitan hacer más pausas para fumar. La salsa Mutti es la mejor pero no tan buena como el guapo embajador de la marca escocesa Neill y su PA Catherine, que han creado un recuerdo que pone el nacimiento de mis hijos en segundo lugar con el sentimiento de amor que sentí después de mi comida. ¿Cómo lo hacen todavía en 2024 es la octava maravilla del mundo. Si puedes entrar te sorprenderás. ¡Vete!

I went to check this restaurant as it was close to our hotel and had good reviews. Food is amazing! Great portions for the price, the staff are super super friendly. We will be coming back :) Update: I visited again for dinner on my final day in Edinburgh! We had such a nice time, the family working there were super funny and entertained us when we were feeling down. We enjoyed the food so much!! Thank you, once again :)

Solía gustarme mucho este lugar por sus comidas vegetarianas a un precio razonable, pero mi reciente visita fue decepcionante. Pedí el tazón satay después de que el personal me dijo que era una comida completa. Por 16 libras. 50 , eran solo unas pocas verduras, una pequeña cantidad de tofu, y una salsa de maní sosa. Sin sabor real, se sentía muy mal en relación calidad-precio.
