The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Loved this experience. I was made to feel welcome and custom appreciated. Service was on the slow side and it wasn't handled particularly well at the start. I did decide to forego the wine tasting pairing and cheese course as a result. Having said that, the food was spectacular and the wines I did sample were great (thank you for letting me taste from the wine pairing menu for the white - great flexibility to make up for the slow start). The seven course is well worth the price and the wait staff were friendly and happy to chat over the dishes and ingredients. The Sake Ginger Grapefruit cocktail I ordered at the start was a revelation as well!

La comida estuvo muy rica, pedimos dos desayunos escocés y ha sido el mejor que probamos en todo Escocia, el lugar es pequeño pero bonito, fácil de llegar y buena atención de las meseras y el chef, súper recomendado

Went out with an old friend great food great staff and had a great time. And quite affordable for what you get Would recommend.

Great atmosphere along with great food! The staff & owner are so cordial and welcoming! Owner, Ben was genuinely concerned that we were having a good time! Along with our waiter, Jack, who was delightful and fun & had great suggestions too! When we’re back in Scotland this will be our first stop! Highly recommend Balerno Inn!❤️

Absolutely gorgeous place to visit. The coffee was incredible! Best I've had and reasonably priced considering the venue has a very up market vibe. Friendly staff too. Will definitely come back again for the food as it looked delicious.

Mediocre food and terrible attitude from the owner who refused to honour our reservation. Kept waiting for 20 minutes for food that tasted as bad as the meal we had on the flight over. Salt by name, salty by attitude.

Great tasting food, staff very friendly, lovely place to visit, dog friendly too, selection of beer amazing. Will be back

Was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was on arrival and the staff were so helpful. Had a very enjoyable night out at my step son & daughters wedding reception.

Damn good service and food. Never had a Nepalese Curry. Amazing. Very attentive (but not too much). I was the only one here (early dinner at 430). Great little spot.

A great spot for Singaporean and HK inspired treats! We arrived ten minutes before the place opened on a Sunday, and, I’m glad we did, as the place filled up very quickly. The interior is small, but has a really nice vibe! As someone constantly missing the Hong Kong teatime culture, I was very excited to see some of my favourite cafe classics on the menu, including HK toast, kaya toast, and teas and coffees with condensed milk. We ordered the roti canai, kaya toast and HK toast to share, and a cup of teh tarik, a Singapore signature hand pulled tea, each. Everything was delicious and satisfied my craving for nostalgia (and good food!). I was a bit confused that the crusts were cut off the HK toast, as this is unusual at least in Hong Kong, but my sister pointed out that bread in the UK is much tougher, so this was probably a very good shout! Didn’t have much interaction with the staff, but we didn’t really need to as they were very efficient and we had no complaints about the food. I’d love to come back during a future visit to Edinburgh to try their coffee and larger main dishes.

A great find. Went on a Tuesday evening, it was packed. A great sign of high quality food. Very good food and good service. Highly recommend.

had previously given a good review as when we'd been before it was lovely but our last visit was disappointing. there was only a few people in and our food took forever even though we only ordered 2 pizzas and a garlic bread. the bread took so long we ended up asking for it to go.. eventually after an hour after finishing the pizza we had to leave as our parking was expiring.. we realised the garlic bread was sitting on the counter in a takeaway box but nobody had given it to us. wonder how long it sat there! proper weird a shame as pizzas used to be great but this time, it wasn't worth it at all :(

Crepes ottime, sia dolci che salate, fatte sul momento, sottili e croccanti! Ci sono piaciute in tutte le varianti che abbiamo provato

We three friends had an excellent lunch in La Potinere. There is a choice of two items for each course two having one of the starters & I had the other. There was a similar choice by my friends for the main course of chicken en croute while I had baked salmon. One of my friends treated us to a very fine bottle of Montrachet which we relished. The cooking & service were of high quality . Would we go back ? Indeed we would.

Tomamos cafés, helados y lemon cake. Todo muy rico y en un ambiente muy agradable y acogedor. Súper recomendable en la zona de Cannongate
