The best restaurants in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

Near our apartment we found this cute place. Super cappuccino, coffee and cakes! The guys are very nice and kind. Try it!

Really delicious and authentic Turkish/Scottish breakfast and coffee! 😍 and the staff were all so friendly! Would really recommend!

Cosy atmosphere, friendly staff, delicious coffee & food. What more could you want?

This is by far, THE BEST COFFEE EVER on Leith walk! And I've tried them all! The staff are all amazingly friendly and very accommodating. Mike, Vivi, Marek, Dylan, Katie, Monica and Nagesh make an awesome team and their banter is second to none! Dogs are very welcome and one of the many reasons I like to spend time there. It's a fab place to catch up with loved ones or just chill and read a book. Only one criticism really, is that the coffee shop is most definitely in need of a refurbishment. The toilet desperately needs attention, it's not great, but if you have to go, right! The staff look like they could do with more space behind the counter as you can visibly see they often bump into each other just trying to serve us, the customer. I have a very strong feeling its the staff that keeps the place alive and buzzing with such a good vibe. The service from staff is top notch, this is due to them and not so much the owners that seem to have abandoned the fact that these guys, are busting a gut to provide us with amazing coffee and good food. A must visit if you are looking for the best coffee, great banter and amazing service! They also have a stamp card and great alternatives to coffee too😊 I'm hoping their Gluten free range will expand too😉

We had lunch here as soon as we arrived in Edinburgh, before checking into the hotel. I had already read some reviews looking for places in the area, so I was sure to go. I confirm everything: we ate very well. Actually the best food we tasted in Edinburgh! It's a very welcoming little place and the managers are very nice.

Best pizza in the town very friendly atmosphere

I ate a lot by myself. The miso soup is served first, so it tends to get cold.

40 minutes drove just to see it's close opening hours wrong

Very good atmosphere in this very pleasant little restaurant! The food is excellent, the cocktails very good and the service perfect! If you pass through Edinburgh don't miss this restaurant!

I was hoping to pay by bitcoin as advertised, been told by staff their terminal is not updated and i can not pay by BTC lightning.... disappointed, giving 1 hour journey to find out

Food is always beautiful - but truffle ramen is the best. Portion sizes are also great, and the staff could not be nicer.

Best curry I've ever eaten, again. This is the one behind the Mosque, not the one on the road that says it's the original. Proper food, lovely welcome and service. Great coffee too.

We had a fantastic meal in this authentic family friendly Italian restaurant. We had pasta accompanied by a beautiful fresh salad. The pasta flavours were delicious. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

This is my newest favourite place in Edinburgh. The food is fantastic and the place is very cozy.

Bell's Diner opened in St. Stephen Street, Stockbridge, Edinburgh in 1974, the same year my wife and I moved into Stockbridge. They served the best burgers I've ever tasted. And no sweetish American-style buns and slobbery 'mayo'. The wine list starts at £21 a bottle. We now live 20 miles away but travelled in to have our final Bell's meal last week as the restaurant will soon be closing down. So, probably too late now for folks to get a table. Sad news indeed.
