The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

This is quite possibly the nicest Starbucks on the globe - and we’ve been to a fair few. The staff are just lovely, they treat us like old friends. The layout is quirky but cool. The location, Stockbridge, is the best in Edinburgh. It’s getting renovated right now and we miss it so much. See you soon!😘

That is the worst chicken curry i have ever had in my life. Absolutely inedible. Watery bland curry sauce, not convinced the chicken is even cooked. I've had 2 forkfuls then binned it. Avoid at all costs.

Very lovely server here helped me on a Monday to get my £2 student drink as UNiDAYS wasn’t working properly! He was so friendly and made my day. Great atmosphere in the cafe too :)

Cenamos y desayunamos aquí mientras estábamos alojados en el hotel. El personal es muy agradable y servicial, la comida era buena, no buena comida, pero no caro, así que por el precio está por encima de un montón de otros lugares. Normalmente no iría al restaurante de un hotel si no me quedara, pero volvería a ir allí si estuviera en Edimburgo.

The coffee is the best !!!! ( way better than any of the other well-known coffee outlets). Food is delicious ! BUT - premises are grubby and toilet is dirty and cramped and in need of refurbishment !!!!

From the moment we walked in the service was exemplary. Food was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Restaurant was clean but food a bit pricey. The manager whose name we didn’t get was great but special mention to Fraser who went out of his way to give us fantastic service

Mi comida para llevar favorita. . . . Este lugar es amigable, acogedor, limpio y ofrece un excelente servicio con precios que coinciden. Recomiendo totalmente la pizza doner kebab con ensalada. . .

We went on this tour on Saturday 3rd of September for my daughters 21st birthday the lady that took the tour was brilliant learnt lots about GIN and got to sample purchase and wax top a mini bottle, it is really worth a visit the Tour Guide was called Elisa very easy to understand, I would recommend if your staying central Edinburgh you would need a taxi to and from! But overall a fabulous 👌 day out thanks from us in Belfast x

Pizza was cold and the base was solid. My son even said he didn’t want his because it was too hard. Really is so overrated and expensive. Chips and macaroni bites were decent. Although very salty.

This is a great location and the staff are lovely. (we were there on Tuesday 18th June.) The coffee is also very nice. Unfortunately it was filthy - the toilets needed a good clean - they were quite disgusting. The tables also needed clearing up more regularly - and a spot of cleaner on the tables wouldn't go amiss.

Friends were staying at The Craigiebield, and were very happy with their room, we decided to have Sunday dinner, sadly roast beef was tough, it had been sliced in very thick slices which didn’t help, I’m sure if it had been sliced thinly they would have got away with the meat being tough. Food was served on cold plates not good when hot food is being served. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Refurb of the hotel has made a great difference.

I have enjoyed this cafe and used to go after work for my lunch on a regular basis. Have not made it for a few months. Absolutely shocked at the price I paid today for a filled baguette and tiny pot of tea. £7.50 for a baguette with microscopic salad and 3 crisps! £10 in all for this and a cup of tea.

My partner and I visited on a lovely sunny May day. The cafe was quiet but we were greeted as we walked in. We ordered a soup and toastie between us. The soup was tasty although we should have asked for two spoons. And the toastie was served with an option of chips or salad. We chose the salad which was nice and had coleslaw with it. Portion sizes were good for the price. Only slight downside was the toilet was not as fragrant as it could have been (obviously not always controllable) and had a few bits and bobs lying around. Other than that the cafe was good and we would visit again if in the area. Thanks.

Lovely atmosphere, had vegetarian meal, imaginative, well presented. Would be Great venue for a party And Would also feel quite comfortable come here as a solo diner
