The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Very tasty, I would suggest you to book a table because it is a small restaurant and lots of people love it! Great for veggie/vegan & curious folk ! 🌱🐣

Excellent overall, 100% recommended!

The Little Chartroom was my family’s favorite meal while in Edinburgh. The food was superb, the ambiance was calm and aesthetic, the staff were incredibly kind. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

This is by far one of the nicest lunch,brunch Italian food takeway places in Edinburgh. Everything is baked and made fresh in the shop. From delicious cakes and pastries to amazing sandwiches. They also serve accoasionally some lunch meals to go -salads, gnioki, risotto etc. Great coffee too. It is a takeaway coffee shop. Be aware! No sit in. But the food is one of the best in the area. LOVE IT

Amazing pizzas and mini calzones (better than big calzones in our opinion). They pride themselves on great ingredients and it shows in the taste.

They appear to have closed but are giving no information!!! I have a voucher as I have seen other people write here and I can't get any response or money back. It's atrocious. Surely they cannot keep socials open and be listed in Michelin guide when they've gone under by the looks of it. But why so secret with no note that they have closed??

The nicest place we have ever visited for the breakfast! thanks to the very friendly owner ☺️

Amazing food, great atmosphere and lovely staff:)

Yet another beautiful vegetarian dinner - we ordered starters and sides to create a vegetarian tapas meal. Friends also enjoyed delicious pork dishes. As usual, there was a relaxed atmosphere and the owners are just so friendly and welcoming. Sundays are well worth a visit when they have live music. A real treat! Thank you Faedra and Spyros.

Great food and super polite staff. Went there with our two kids and the staff was super with them as well. Would highly recommend. Food was very tasty and delivered super fast. Absolutely nothing to complain.

Sen Viet, located in the heart of Edinburgh, offers a delightful culinary experience inspired by the vibrant flavors of Vietnam. With its inviting exterior, the restaurant provides a warm and welcoming atmosphere, inviting guests to escape the often-gray Scottish days. Sen Viet prides itself on its extensive selection of authentic vegan Vietnamese cuisine, carefully crafted with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Each dish is a testament to the dedication and passion of the staff, who take great pride in presenting every meal with meticulous attention to detail. The result is a sensory feast that tantalizes the taste buds and engages all the senses. Among the highlights of the menu are the summer rolls, featuring a harmonious balance of crisp vegetables and springy rice noodles, complemented by a tangy dipping sauce. The vegan Pho is another must-try, boasting an abundance of flavorful toppings and a generous portion of rice noodles, all swimming in a rich and satisfying broth that showcases Sen Viet's authentic Vietnamese heritage. With its well-established and highly acclaimed London restaurant, Sen Viet brings its culinary expertise to Edinburgh, promising to delight customers from near and far. The restaurant also offers enticing discounts throughout the year, making it an even more attractive destination for those seeking a unique and memorable dining experience..

Loved their wide, fresh and really tasty selection. Had the cinammon bun and a dulce de leche amaretti with an oat latte and it was all great ❤️

Wow. I came by here on the recommendation of a Time Out article and I am so glad I did! I got the caponata sandwich which I took with me to eat by the Water of Leith. It was an absolute delight and probably one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had - perfectly seasoned, perfect amount of greens and perfect type of bread. It is indeed a “big” sandwich which makes it great value! The restaurant is super cute and pretty accessible from city center.

Great food and great service :)
