The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

This place certainly doesn’t scrimp on portions and is by far the cleanest and freshest in Edinburgh! The new breakfast items are better than McDonalds so would recommend these too!!!

Let me preface this by saying that we did have an okay time at this establishment. We were greeted and seated quickly, told there was table service and the server checked in on us fairly quickly. After his shift ended, it kind of all changed for the worse. There was not a lot of people there, and quite a lot of servers, however it almost seemed like our table was avoided. While the wife went off to do a bit of shopping I figured I could have a drink and enjoy a bit of sun on a day where the forecast said rain. After finishing my drink, my empty glass was on the table for 40 minutes without anyone coming by even though they passed by frequently. I finally flagged someone down from a group of servers having a conversation, and I got a new drink. After this happening a couple more times, we decided to move on. Getting the check was also basically the same thing, a group of servers having a conversation so I went up to them. Most of them didn't even react when I asked for the check, but one very nice lady helped me out. Really hope this changes as I enjoyed the location, music and selection.

Rude owner Lesley I believe her name to be complained about having lipstick on my glass she wasn't happy dirty toilets and the barmaid who looks like Meg griffin from family guy looks like she's on the game such a horrible and dirty pub rude staff

Fui a tomar un café mientras esperaba a la esposa. Tomé un café con leche plano con un dulce millonario. El café y la torta dulce millonaria fueron realmente buenos. No hay muchos asientos en la cafetería, pero parece ser una excelente opción de comida para elegir, especialmente para llevar.

We had been told by others that we should look forward to a high quality meal in an exceptional location overlooking our home city. From the very beginning we sensed that the restaurant was not going to live up to our expectations. The dining area did enjoy good views in all directions, but the furnishings were sparse with hard chairs and no table coverings. We were advised that we would have the table for a strict maximum of two hours. There was no à la carte menu, only a single choice for each course. The description of each course may have been appetising, but the portions were minimalistic, defeating even nouvelle cuisine in terms of their smallness. The service was very slow at times, with the result that we were informed that we would very shortly have to leave as our time had run out, even though we were still awaiting the dessert, not to mention the coffee. To make matters worse, the restaurant was noisy. For such an experience, the price was exorbitant, and it is possible to enjoy much better food in more comfortable locations in Edinburgh. As for the view, that is available for free.

Used to be a good chippy not so impressed these days Service has slid right down hill late delivery's tastless fish or old fish only reason u can go from good too bad lack of respect for customers won't be ordering again

Quick coffee break whilst visiting Edinburgh and sheltering from the rain. It was very busy but waiters were attentive and organised Cosy little cafe

Popped in here on  Saturday, however again it was disappointing. Long queue, which was very slow to clear, only 1 person managing the coffee orders, so that added to the delay, no apologies given for the wait, just that Costa was shut, so that was making them busier. Scone was lovely and fresh, and coffees were hot. The seating area was very full, however we managed to get a table as someone left. No cleaning of the tables between customers, and many customers just leaving their empties on the table rather than taking them to the return area, which when we took ours it was overflowing with dirty dishes. Won't be rushing back here anytime soon.

Closed before the stated opening hours and demanded we drink up at 5 past 9 Appalling service in a bar with zero atmosphere Won’t b back and wouldn’t recommend a visit Drive past, there are better bars within a few miles

This is a hidden gem! Some of the best sushi and ramen I have ever had. The steak ramen was Amazing and I would come back here in a heart beat! The cocktails were also very tasty.

Muy decepcionado de que ya no hay bagels sin gluten. Compra con el aspecto de que podría hacer con una buena limpieza. Personal agradable.

My mum took my two kids today- she was in horror and panic when she couldn't find my three year old because he had wondered off with another family- and was only discovered in the main reception of the commonwealth pool. for your children's safety don't use this soft play. Such a disgrace my heart aches at all the horrific endings today could have had- absolute shame on this so called child friendly venue.

Kebabs are great. Delivery fast and staff friendly.

Hermosa tarde fabulosa con sándwiches deliciosos y frescos, bollos pasteles con un montón de té o café acabada con una copa fuera de Prosecco. El personal cálido y acogedor agradable. Recomiendo encarecidamente este encantador salón de té. Sin duda volveremos. Una pequeña joya

Okay for a quick bite the price reflects the quality. Typical version of a greasy spoon. The smell of grease sticks to you if you’re ordering to take away best to wait outside.
