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.

I unfortunately had a pretty disappointing lunch here. I ordered a ‘bloody mary cheese melt’ which I believe was supposed to be a toastie as this was also how it was described by the girl serving us when she brought it over. However, the bread was simply just warm, not in the slightest bit toasted which also meant the filling had soaked through the bread, leaving the bottom soggy. I also ordered a side of ‘potato rostis’ which I was expecting to be just that - rostis. However they ended up being just some fairly sad looking hash browns which had presumably just been cooked from frozen. There was also no effort made on presentation at all. I personally feel £4.50 for the ‘rostis’ and £9 for the sandwich / toastie is unreasonable given the quality. One of the friends I was with also ordered a side of the tenderstem broccoli, which arrived lukewarm at best. The staff member serving us was very friendly and gave us almonds on the house as they did not have the wasabi peas we had ordered - this was really nice of her! However once our food was brought to us, we were not visited / passed by any staff members even once. Despite the fact we were I believe the only people in there towards the end, the staff all opted to remain on the other side of the restaurant, chatting by the bar. It would have been nice if we were checked up on, even just the once, or just to have someone clear our plates / offer another drink etc. I would understand if the place was incredibly busy, but it was very very quiet. We ended up having to ask for the bill as we were leaving as it was clear no one would be coming over. Overall, the restaurant has a nice atmosphere but I do feel it was way too expensive considering the quality of the food and lack of service once we had been given our food. Thank you regardless :)

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.
