The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh and Lothian

I had a great experience,from the beautiful smile of the receptionist to the way our orders were taken,to the way it was served. I'll give 10/10

Imagínate la escena: una gloriosa mañana de mayo paseando por la explanada de Portobello con mi marido. El sol brilla y apenas hay brisa, decidimos desayunar tarde y sentarnos en una de las mesas al aire libre, a pocos centímetros de las arenas doradas. Es jueves por la mañana y casi instantáneamente un atento miembro del personal viene con menús. Yo me decanto por el Espy Benedict y Dave se decanta por el rollito de desayuno de triple tocino, ambos con té. Rápidamente llega el té: dos pequeñas ollas y tazas separadas, con abundancia de azúcar y leche ya a mano. Poco tiempo después llega el desayuno. Los huevos Benedicto XVI es delicioso, todo servido en una cama de cohete fresco, y un glaseado balsámico es un placer bienvenido. El piso triple (para sorpresa de nadie más que de Dave) está lleno de tocino de medio cerdo y huele increíble! Ambos son igualmente deliciosos, con el mismo camarero asegurando que estábamos preparados para el té, el agua y todo lo que necesitábamos. Todo llegó a alrededor de £ 20 - £ 23 y bien vale cada centavo. Hermoso desayuno, con personal agradable y vistas increíbles sobre la playa de Portobello sorprendentemente tranquila. Definitivamente irá de nuevo!

I’ve been visiting Jon Sharp’s coffee shops for nearly 15 years and have always thought the coffee was outstanding. I’ve also really appreciated the stories I’ve heard about Jon’s dedication to quality and consistency—it’s something I genuinely respect. That said, I’ve been increasingly frustrated by the constant prompt for a tip when ordering takeaway. A latte now costs £4.25, which I’m fine with—the quality is there, and I understand prices have gone up. But expecting a tip on top of that for a takeaway coffee feels unreasonable. I even asked one of the staff members once if they’d tip on a £4.25 takeaway coffee, and they laughed and said no. What bothers me more, though, is how the staff’s attitude often shifts when I choose to skip the tip. I’m still a paying customer. Why should my experience change because I didn’t tip for takeaway? It honestly makes me think twice about sitting in, which I also do regularly. By contrast, another favourite of mine is Artisan Roast. The coffee is slightly more affordable, the team is always warm and friendly, and they skip the tip screen automatically for takeaway—no awkwardness, no guilt-tripping. And it certainly doesn’t lack in quality. In fact, when you speak to coffee people around Edinburgh, it’s like the Apple vs. Android debate—everyone’s got a favourite, and both sides are passionate. I truly hope Jon Sharp sees this, because I’ve always admired what he’s built. But in times like these, when many people are struggling, the tipping setup makes a difference. Over the past 10 visits to Bruntsfield, I’ve consistently chosen Artisan Roast—and I’ve had a great experience each time. Today, I decided to return to Project Coffee, and unfortunately, it reminded me why I haven’t been back sooner.

Tuvimos un desayuno encantador aquí un sábado por la mañana. Personal agradable y amable. La comida era muy agradable definatley una clase por encima de todo era muy buena calidad y el café sabía tan bien! La única razón por la que doy un 4 sobre 5 es porque nuestra mesa era tan pegajosa y no estaba limpia correctamente que era horrible apoyar los brazos en ellos y sentir la pegajosidad : (

Excellent food and a wonderful staff and atmosphere! 😊

Great food. Staff friendly. Some good entertainment on a Saturday night.

Fantastic wee pub. Decent priced drinks by Edinburgh standards these days. Friendly staff, live music, quizzes and live sports and cracking well priced pizzas. Lovely proper old school pub.

Oh wow! We thought it’ll be nice to have dinner in a restaurant instead of going to a pub! High hopes however the battered cod & chips was tasteless and pretty oily¿ How can a simple dish fail In a hotel restaurant! Never again

Had a lovely breakfast, and the service was friendly and fast.

A really great Fringe location, lots of great venues, bar options and food in the garden, and even more great options very close by. You can easily grab six shows in one go.

Good staff very quick cool guy but the cheesy chips were not melted and were stale will not visit again.

Ordered a drink and toastie. Toastie £10!Drink came quickly (apple pressé served with a slice of lime for some reason). Toastie didn’t arrive for 30 mins despite the place being practically empty so I asked to cancel as I had to go. The chef said that “you can’t cancel” and one of the waitresses had to say they would have it instead which they shouldn’t have to do when it was the chef’s fault. They did offer it to go but this would have meant a further wait. The reason given for the delay was a new chef but it’s a hot sandwich mate, it’s not complicated. One of the chatting waitresses could have made it if he couldn’t. They verbally gave me the price for the drink so I didn’t have a choice about the service charge. They also don’t ask about allergies nor have they marked on the menu which I believe is a legal requirement. Reading the other reviews from 5 years ago I can see that service time has always been a problem for them and doesn’t seem to have improved. Vegetarian options were limited and I don’t think there was anything vegan besides chips or salad.

Great location if you want the hottest tourist spots. Castle is spectacular. Staff are super friendly and accommodating.

Food was very good, but no veggies in sight. Service was quick!

Nice pub, with a mostly Scottish crowd, all Champions League games were on. Large selection of draft beer, I would love to come back.
