The best restaurants in Edinburgh and Lothian

Mouthwatering desserts and lovely service, thank you! Will be coming back.

Staff are amazing. Food is pretty dam great too.

Brilliant family run cafe, Amazing staff and beautiful food!! Great prices too:)

First time in Osteria. Dined here on the early bird menu. Food and staff were first class. From the moment we walked in, to us leaving, service was excellent. The food was delicious, very tasty and beautifully presented. Enjoyed a lovely red wine recommended by our waiter. Lovely ambience in the restaurant. Looking forward to our next visit.

The most delicious vegan food we've ever eaten. The atmosphere is super cosy and the staff super friendly. Huge praise!

Bruschetta pleasant base tasting well with the tomatoes gently heated with a careful touch of seasoning to bring up their natural flavour. Calamari lightly cooked, pleasantly al dente and not tough.The seasoned coating was good. It's now rarer to be given "tender" calamari as (in my experience) they have to be good and fresh, then cooked promptly and briefly. But September is a good month and the Forth supports shoals of same, so little excuse other than a chef's casual timing. The ravioli was my second dish but I swapped it with my sister who had ordered a rack of lamb. Though looking well grilled, it was found to be effectivly raw. My bent, is for meat served blue but not raw. Unlike beef, lamb on the bone becomes difficult to cut as any slightly warmed adjoining fat becomes extremely slippy and exceedingly difficult to cut. And eating, without resorting to chewing! makesw a nonsense of "tender" lamb. By ignoring the fat, I still enjoyed it but found the waitress's response as to why it was so little cooked..... unsatisfactory ..... apparently "an In-house" style yet not mentioned on the menu ? So glad the chef doesn't have a preference for raw potatoes ! I'll check next time. regards John Perreur-Lloyd

A delicious and generously priced meal! Highly recommended.

Words can’t truly describe how amazing every aspect of our dinner was. It was our last night in Edinburgh and we definitely ended our trip on a high note. All the staff were very friendly, attentive and helpful. We ordered from the A La Carte menu and from my lobster rolls starter to the cod main, it was like we were on an exquisite culinary journey which I did not want to end. Iulian, our waiter, was very helpful in answering any questions we had about our meals and Phil, the sommelier, kindly suggested wine pairings which were delightful to say the least. I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous about dining at Fhior, but the atmosphere was very unpretentious and welcoming. I will definitely return if ever in Edinburgh again. Chef Scott creates some amazing dishes! Talent like I’ve never experienced. Do yourself a favour and go if you have a chance!

Lovely venue, service was good. The food was really disappointing. It was definitely average at its best. The pizza was sloppy, the starters were massively overpriced, the fillet steak was average and my wife’s pasta was quite bland. Not sure what’s happened to this place but the food is definitely not as good. The cost of the meal was ridiculous. Too expensive now Won’t be back

I LOVE this place, and I go as often as possible. Cosy atmosphere and fantastic people working there. The food is delicious, and they also have a section selling typical Italian things. Really recommend

Amazing place with the nicest owner ! We arrived quite late and even though she was planning to close she made us great food and the best vietnamese drip coffee ever ! Everything was perfect, will definitely come back again :))

Was on my lunch break and went to Bobby's for a toasty and the lovely staff allowed me to pay the following day because my card didn't work. This really helped my day as otherwise I'd have had to return to work hungry. It made me feel really hopeful about how kind people can be. Thank you so much! The toasty was also delicious and served nice and hot!

Lovely ceramic cafe to spend a few hours relaxing and painting. Very chilled atmosphere with lovely views of bridge. Great coffee and baked good. Staff are lovely and really helpful. Highly recommend :)

A friend and I visited this lovel establishment, mainly for tea and coffee. Since the appetite desired it, could not resist and ordered the very classic scottish breakfast platter. The portion was satisfying, with a simple yet harmonius presentation and the taste was just right. The staff were absolutely great, did service with a smile and checked on our table a couple of times to make sure everything is okay. If you are in the area, definitely check this place out. ^_ ^ <3
