The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Gran comida, gran servicio. Disfruté viniendo aquí con mi familia antes de un espectáculo en la carretera. Tenía el cordero de la vieja escuela y estaba delicioso

The nicest BD in Edinburgh, I think. Service was awesome in the top bar on Sat 8th March

Amazing food and service. We were running late and they managed to extend our table a little longer which was lovely of them. The pasta and pizzas were amazing along with the lemon dessert. Dog friendly too so it was perfect for us with our little dog.

Tomé mi dinero para un pastel de fiesta. Pero se fue a la bancarrota así que no hay pastel y no hay dinero... muy decepcionante. Solo un correo electrónico renegando de la orden

Gran relación calidad-precio - cordero era tan bueno, buen ambiente y un servicio amable. Pequeño restaurante encantador, sin duda volverá

What a cracking little bar. Friendly staff and locals.

Increíble noche para celebrar nuestro 25 aniversario de boda! La comida era increíble y el personal era atento, educado y conocedor tanto de la comida como de las bebidas para acompañar la comida. Gracias especiales a Nitin, Caitlin y Michael que nos cuidaron e hicieron nuestra celebración especial. También gracias a los chefs y el equipo detrás de escena!

Solid lunch spot. No bean burgers, actual vegan food 🖤

First time eating here and it surpassed the recommendation we got. We ordered 6 dishes between 2 and that was enough food for us. Each dish was incredibly flavoured and perfect for sharing. Cocktails were also banging and the staff extremely friendly and helpful. Will be back for sure.

A small but lovingly run bistro. The staff are very friendly and patient if you don't speak English very well. The food is very tasty.

What a gem! Market Street hotel is located right across the street from Waverley train station. We stayed in Great Britain for 21 days and the bed here at Market Street Hotel is ranked the highest. So COMFY. The room was well-appointed, the mini bar was stocked with drinks and snacks, the staff was so helpful/friendly, the room was spotless, and a fantastic shower. The location is perfect. It is so close to everything we wanted to do on this trip. Market Street hotel had everything we needed to enjoy our 3 days in Edinburgh. What a way to start our travels in Scotland. We would definitely stay here anytime we're in Edinburgh. Highest recommendations for this place ❤️

I was here for the Scottish breakfast and I was super satisfied. VERY GOOD!

Microwaved dry scrambled eggs, couldn’t eat them. Blasting eggs in a microwave is not a culinary skill you should be paying for! Lady very nice and offered me an alternative fried egg which looked like a poached egg, coffee was nice & sourdough good quality but I won’t be back for microwaved eggs!

Great place with interesting events including those in Scottish Gaelic.

We ate here after a show at the Playhouse on a recommendation from a family member that lives in Edinburgh. The restaurant is spacious and light and the service is superb. Our waiter Gabriella was so patient with us (5 chatty females who hadn't seen one and other for a while) The menu had lots to choose from and on the whole the food was good, although the calamari wasn't great and although we ordered the tortilla medium it was a wee bit dry. The pork cheeks though were outstanding as was the paella. All of the portions were a really good size and great value for money, as was the wine. This restaurant could really cash in on its locality to the theatre but it absolutely doesn't. It also doesn't include the service charge as standard which is another absolute bonus in my eyes and the service was outstanding! This is an absolute gem of a restaurant in the current climate of excessive overcharging by most other restaurants. A definite worthwhile visit ✨️
