The best restaurants in Scotland

Was recommended to eat here and didn't disappoint. Happy staff,friendly service, and the food was excellent. Nice little atmosphere along with dog friendly, Would highly recommend.

Food was good and service on this occasion was good.

Wow food is realy good , staff are really friendly Mixed kebab all my favourite

We're always greeted by a warm, friendly atmosphere and the lovely staff, who will go above and beyond. Great menu and stocked bar, the Smiddy is a well loved Southside pub. Highly recommend for a few drinks or a nice relaxed meal.

The Marcliffe has changed hands recently and I'd hoped the high standards would remain. Sadly this is not the case. The food is still excellent but the service is sadly lacking. I suspect this is due to inexperienced staff and poor leadership. I had to ask to have a pre-prandial drink despite arriving 30 minutes before our allotted reservation time. We were given the wrong menus initially. We were brought the wrong bottles of wine (both of them!). The cutlery had fingerprints on them. I had to ask for our wine to be poured on more than one occasion. So disappointing and I hope things improve as the Marcliffe is/was one if our favourites.

What an experience! Would highly recommended for an explosion of amazing flavours. We allowed the waiters to recommend some favourite dishes and this definitely helped us get the full experience. The waiting staff kindly offered to assist us with the bbq to ensure it was cooked perfectly. Can’t wait to go back. 👌🏻

Good food, great portions. Friendly service and well priced. What more could you ask for??

Fabulously welcoming family-run restaurant and so obliging: l was nervous about trying Thai food as l have a nut allergy, and the staff prepared an absolutely delicious nut-free dish for me which really gave me confidence in dining here. SO so friendly, great atmosphere and delicious food.

What a lovely surprise !!! It was amazing food, staff and atmosphere!!! Definitely be back .

Tasty food and coffee, good service

Proper local Bar represented by sound folk who work there. Their wee gig venue next door is a treat. Check their gram for Live Music/What's Oan @leithdepot138

stayed for two nights whilst house hunting in the area Honestly Cant fault the Ben Cruachan Inn . Staff were excellent,polite and friendly. A credit to the business Room was clean and comfortable Very happy with the price paid Price included breakfast which was very nice I would definitely book again if staying in the area

Cute hotel located in a historic castle. It’s a bit outside of the city center in a quiet neighborhood but makes for a peaceful stay. My friend and I shared a suite and it was quite large. The bathrooms were also quite luxurious and there’s a tub as well as shower. They have free breakfast if you book directly with them, but since we booked it through the Capital One portal, we didn’t have that. The keys themselves are physical keys (not keycards). The front desk is nice and even though there wasn’t a water bottle filling station, they filled them up for us. They were able to hold onto our baggage after we checked out while we explored the area.

Lovely little spot for lunch or dinner.

One of my favourite places in Edinburgh. Lovely spot to sit outside for hours on a sunny day with a fantastic wine and cheese selection.
