The best restaurants serving Other international-cuisines food in Edinburgh and Lothian

Crepes ottime, sia dolci che salate, fatte sul momento, sottili e croccanti! Ci sono piaciute in tutte le varianti che abbiamo provato

We visited last night for the first time and as soon as we arrived we knew we were in for a great night. The incredible service started as soon as we walked in the door. As it was our first visit our server (who I wish I had gotten the name of but she was so lovely) explained the menu and how it all worked and gave us time to look at the drinks and the food menu. She was attentive without being intrusive, perfect balance and couldn’t do enough for us. On to the food which was nothing short of exceptional. We had 6 different dishes and every single one was a bit of food heaven. We also went on to have the dessert which was just delicious. The atmosphere in the restaurant is so lovely. All the staff are so welcoming and friendly. We finished the night at the bar and were talking with the staff like we knew them. We even got to speak to the chef at one point and tell him how incredible the food was. The was excellent value for money too. Each dish and drink is very reasonably priced. We had 6 dishes, 2 desserts, a bottle of wine, 2 beers and 2 cocktails and it was only £136. Absolute bargain!! I could rave about this place all day - and likely will tell anyone who will listen how amazing it is. It was the perfect first visit and we already can’t wait to go back. A gem of a place and I am so excited it is in Bathgate.

We had early breakfast in this small deli with our family of 5. Menu and the whole experience were something out of the ordinary. Everything was made to order and really good, for example the wonderful toasted strawberry and brie filled croissant. We enjoyed also the thoughtful service as we ordered even something outside of the menu. Prices reasonable.

Truly outstanding meal and service!

Best cocktails around Edinburgh and great staff. Best whiskey sours ive had in a long time. The venue itself is unique also accompanied by good tunes.

We had a fabulous early Christmas lunch here with my elderly parents. We all thoroughly enjoyed the food and the service was so friendly and efficient. We were really well looked after and will definitely be recommending it. I’m sure we’ll be back.

I have been wanting to try Pulse for a while now. Had a hard time choosing what to have for lunch because everything sounded great. I had the mushroom and zucchini french toast and a banana mini muffin. It was delicious. Everything is vegan / plant-based which makes me extremely happy. The service was one of the best I've had in Edinburgh, everyone was so kind. The location is perfect, right off Princes Street but tucked away below, with the church, graveyard and Edinburgh castle in view. Just a heads-up that they're only open Thursday to Sunday (reason why I haven't been able to try it until now). As a plus: the lovely complex where Pulse is also has a Fairtrade shop, another cafe and a bookshop.

Another great meal at The Terrace. Well done to Rihanna for her attentive service. A brilliant place for students to learn on the job and we will return again soon.

De bediening was vriendelijk en zorgzaam. Het eten was perfect klaargemaakt en bijbehorende wijn was goed gekozen en geserveerd

Small foodie restaurant with nearly all of the menu being gluten free and enough vegetarian options. Make a reservation on the weekends as it fills up quickly.

Genuinely brilliant food. Great, warm service. Would return without hesitation.

Ka Pao is a fantastic spot in Edinburgh for anyone craving vibrant and creative Southeast Asian flavors. From the moment you step inside, the ambiance is buzzing with energy and excitement, making it a perfect place for a memorable dining experience. The menu is inventive, with a variety of small and large plates that are perfect for sharing, allowing you to try a bit of everything. The food is outstanding—each dish is packed with bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and a beautiful balance of spice and zest. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always happy to help with recommendations if you’re not sure where to start. Don’t miss their cocktails, which are as creative as the food and pair perfectly with the dishes. Ka Pao is a wonderful choice for a night out with friends or a special dinner. It brings a unique, exciting twist to Edinburgh’s food scene that’s sure to leave you wanting to come back for more! Highly recommended for anyone looking to try something a little different!

Food was good value for the price but let down by lack of decor and lack of drinks available. Wouldn’t go back.

We visited this beautiful wee gem tucked away in this pleasant suburb of Edinburgh: Newington. The lovely couple who own it ( and two sister restaurants in the city) explained they have changed their emphasis to wine by the glass or bottle with upmarket snacks from local high quality suppliers such as Iain Mellis cheese. We loved the cosy autumn into winter vibe: beautiful tasteful lighting enhanced this. They have a truly fabulous selection of wine to suit all tastes. We can’t wait to go back!

Stopped off here between Edinburgh Fringe Festival shows for a spot of late lunch (it is near the Cameo cinema where the Film Festival is hosted). What a treat! Friendly, welcoming staff and an appealing menu with a mild Turkish slant. The vegetable soup was outstanding, the goat's cheese salad was fresh, tasty and generously sprinkled with a variety of seeds and my partner raved about the bacon roll and tea. What's not to like.? Everything on the menu looked equally delicious. The prices were frankly modest. A most enjoyable light lunch.
