The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Extremely busy and really hard to hear each other. Due to business we presume, service was very very slow. Took forever to even order and receive a drink. Food was ok but we were a bit disappointed in the taste and quality for the price. Appreciate the tapas style dishes come out as and when they are ready. But the salads came out near the end of the meal which seemed a bit odd. Staff super friendly.

Best steak meal I've had in a while. Recommended.

Nice place, good atmosphere and above all the staff, attentive, friendly, makes you feel comfortable , everything all positive. I would return without hesitation

Really nice cosy place highly recommend the old fashioned

One of the best coffees and desserts I have had. Their brews are just excellent Must try if you are a coffee lover.

Lovely restaurant, Staff very friendly A well worth visit Great choice of tapas Crispy white fish was awesome my favourite.

No accessible toilets is a real drawback

Incredible value for money. Best in Edinburgh.

Best Greek food in the city - never disappoints.

This restaurant was recommended by a friend of a friend and I think I also saw it on TimeOut so I said we gotta go. He didn’t have a reservation but were only two people and thankfully they were able to find a table for us. The place is below the street level and tiny. Candle lit and moody, very dramatic but the art on the wall lifts the spirits a bit. The menu consists of tapas like dishes to share and we were recommended to pick 5 things. We chose 3 starters and 2 mains. The chicken was super juicy and very well seasoned, it was very spicy but I like spicy so it was right up my alley. The shiitake mushroom was great too. The cheese filled choux pastry was delightful, there’s only one so we ordered two. The venison tartare was gamey in a good way and beautifully prepared. The mushrooms tons and chives added a great flavor but also texture, love itttt. There’s a selection of cocktails and also wine by the glass. The only downside was the lack of ventilation, the food smell is overwhelming and I still smell of food 😅 The service was amazing, all the staff is lovely honestly we were very well taken care of. I’d definitely recommend to anyone coming to Edinburgh!!

Got the Catalan I think, jamon was average and olive oil has this unpleasant edge. Ingredients are not of high quality, and the crusty bread was quite decent on its own but it's too thick and hard for a sandwich. 4 thin slices of jamon also was hardly enough, the ratio of the dense bread to the filling was just too much. Maybe if half of it was served as a open faced sandwich it might be better(although more difficult to eat possibly)

We went for lunch and felt very welcome. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Lentil soup was good, just the side bread could be changed for the roll. I had a bruscheta without avocado due allergy. But they forgot😔. So I removed one star for rating.

The website is still showing “temporarily closed” yet no reply to emails regarding voucher that was purchased last year. Value of voucher £150, will the restaurant re-open and this be honoured?

Gorgeous little winery! Had a fantastic time with my friends here enjoying amazing cheese, wine and cocktails. It has a warm, cosy atmosphere and great service from the lovely owners. Would 100% recommend! :D

Tiny hidden away place. Park for free outside the door and get inside. I've never been to a place that sells food and has a full gym right next to where you eat. I love pumping a bit of iron so it doesn't bother me but I've just never seen this setup before. As far as gym equipment goes it's all the proper Olympic bars and decent racks, only 8 quid a session. Anyway back to the food. Quite a large menu to choose from but be aware there are only like 2 tables if you are sitting in. Food was all fine nothing mind blowing but fine. Would come back to hit the iron maybe.
