The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

A true hidden gem. Gorgeous coffee and a well-curated selection of tasty sandwiches. The young woman at the helm on the day I visited was rushed off her feet, but doing an amazing job. Big up to her. I’d like to have seen her sleepy-looking male colleague do more to assist her than nonchalantly rolling a fag in the back room. Maybe he was on his break? I mean him no disrespect, but he was “on display”, chilling out, and she was as busy as hell. It wouldn’t have killed him to help her out. That said, I will definitely return. Looking forward to it already!

What roll van offers food like this ( see added photos) ! Best food going, specials are a must !! Go once you will keep going back , food is that good Can't say enough food stuff about this place, even our Ted loves his breakfast here 😋

Really high quality food beautifully presented and a warm welcome. I sat in and got something sweet to takeaway. Highly recommend

Was surprised at how busy it was as hadn’t heard about it from my friends who are local to Edinburgh. We were delighted with the food service and whole experience will definitely be back on my next trip up north.

We went Miju for dinner because our hotel is very close by Haymarket so this place is just a short walk from the station. We were greeted by a sweet waitress and she explained the menu and chef’s special very well. We ordered a good variety of food such as a sashimi platter, Seabass, yellowtail, Otoro, Uni sushi, etc takoyaki, salmon tarter, and Tonkotsu ramen to share. The food were so delicious and fresh. And everything was freshly made by a Japanese chef at an open bar where you can see it’s made to order. We added an Eel roll at the end and it was the best roll we have tried anywhere else. We are so glad we found this little gem in Edinburgh. Forgot to mention, the atmosphere there is very Japanese izakaya style. You feel like you are traveling in Japan. Last but not least, this place is also reasonably priced for what you get. Fresh ingredients, great chefs, amazing food, lovely vibes and deco and warm service. 10 out of 10!

The staff there are amazing - I go in at least 4 or 5 times a week and have been doing so for years and I have never had anything even approaching a bad experience. From the Manager Ryan all the way through the staff they are friendly, chatty and make a bloody good cuppa too

Chakra Meditation in Stockbridge shop on Sunday morning was immersive and calming. Guided meditation was helpful to sit in my own silence for my introduction to meditation.

SO VERY YUMMY! This is possibly the best gelato I've ever had. The staff are lovely and the prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend it!

Esta es mi segunda visita al podrán aprovecharse Diner y aún estoy tan impresionado como yo era la primera vez. Muy amable, la comida muy buena, nada más que quisieras, desde un establecimiento como este

Upmarket restaurant in a small country village serving a delicious, good quality range of food. We enjoyed Saturday night dinner at this restaurant and I was particularly impressed when the days special was Ox Cheek. It did not disappoint! I enjoyed a melt-in-the-mouth beautifully prepared dish and was toiling to finish it all. Thankfully we'd shared bruschetta to start...the portion was more than enough for two and it was delicious. I'd highly recommend 119 and will most definitely be back.

Fantastic place that we stumbled across while staying at the nearby Novotel. Very reasonable prices and a wide selection of food and drink for our breakfast. We had a toddler with us and the lady serving was very welcoming and friendly. There is lots of space and the cafe had a nice decor. We had coffee, tea, croissants, muffins and sausage patties. I would definitely pop back here again when staying nearby.

Mabitt makes and sells the best homemade cheesecake it’s amazing highly recommend anyone to go and get a slice either sit in and enjoy with a coffee or take home for your desert - that’s what I do our treat !

Me sorprendió mucho encontrar jugo de caña de azúcar fresco en Edimburgo. Me encantó el servicio! ¡Excelente producto y buen falafel vegano también! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Delicious classic Brazilian dish - Feijoada on a Saturday is a must, black beans pork stew served with rice , farinha (mandjoca flour) and fried cabbage, with chilli sauce. Authentic as you could get. Definitely recommend , very tasty and filling !! The best food for a Saturday !!
