The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

I visited this morning. There are no options for breakfast because they do not have a kitchen. I ordered a delicious slice of avocado, cheese toast, and coffee. It was crowded, but the atmosphere was nice.

Perfect for a pre theatre dinner. I reserved a table online which was very easy. The food is delicious. (I had the Chicken Gyro Wrap) The service was excellent, The staff are very friendly & attentive. I have some dietary restrictions which I noted on my reservation. The waiter went through the menu with recommendations and also pointed out what I should avoid due to my alargies. Lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend it.

I really enjoyed my meal here. Good food reasonably priced and nicely served.

Great bites and inventive cocktails.

It was so good and the guy at the service is adorable. So much recommended

We've been coming to our favourite Edinburgh place since it opened in 2015 and looking back I couldn't believe my only review of it was 7 years ago. Chef Sean continues to innovate and delight in equal measure, as is clear from the proliferation of 5* reviews - don't hesitate to ask anything about the food or the wine, he is rarely happier than when describing the provenance of the cheese or veal.. or the terroir of his new favourite wine... I rarely go for restaurant wine pairings but wouldn't hesitate to recommend the offerings here. You won't be disappointed by the quality, value or attention to detail! I've posted the current menu below - you'll get a copy in your goody-bag when you leave. And I can't leave without mentioning Keith - Sean's brother and head of music production at The Table. The place wouldn't be the same without you, Keith. Look forward to seeing you both again, soon! And next year is the 10th Anniversary! Can't wait for that..

Love this place - fantastic food and super friendly staff. Good value and very tasty, very highly recommended.

Love this wee place. Grab a takeaway cuppa and a pastry or biscuit. Then take it next door to the airy sitting area, decorated in deep blue and white, like a Greek taverna.

I have been wanting to try Pulse for a while now. Had a hard time choosing what to have for lunch because everything sounded great. I had the mushroom and zucchini french toast and a banana mini muffin. It was delicious. Everything is vegan / plant-based which makes me extremely happy. The service was one of the best I've had in Edinburgh, everyone was so kind. The location is perfect, right off Princes Street but tucked away below, with the church, graveyard and Edinburgh castle in view. Just a heads-up that they're only open Thursday to Sunday (reason why I haven't been able to try it until now). As a plus: the lovely complex where Pulse is also has a Fairtrade shop, another cafe and a bookshop.

Very nice restaurant! The atmosphere is cool and the staff is super friendly. THANKS !

Great atmosphere! Great service! Amazing food!

Fantastic little place, excellent homemade food. Superb ambience. Strongly recommend.

Great atmosphere, warm, comfortable, lovely food with Indian flavours. A perfect place for business lunch or meeting friends. Very highly recommended.

An interesting cafe under a church in Edinburgh. The cafe has limited hours and is run by volunteer ladies of the community. Their scones are tasty, coffee and tea fresh and hot. Unfortunately, their cook was taking a well-deserved week off so there wasn't any soup or hot foods. But we enjoyed visiting the cafe and recommend you support them while in Edinburgh. They raise money for worth causes.
