   Very much enjoyed dinner here before a show over the road at the Playhouse. The food was delicious and the service was first rate. Went for the £38 three course set menu, which had loads of choice. Would definitely return here

   Amazing dinner tonight! Taisteal has a nice set of choices in dining from an a la carte menu where you can pick two courses for a set price - £33 for an appetizer and main course or main course and dessert, or have all three courses for a bit more (£38). They also have a 5 and 7 course tasting menu at higher price points (naturally!). All prices being very reasonable. The food was outstanding. I started with a soft shell crab dish with the cod as a main course. My wife had the salmon with tom yum style noodles as a main course and the lychee cheesecake for dessert. All the food was well prepared and tasty. The cod was simply amazing. Prepared to highlight the natural flavors of the fish, it was accompanied by a layer potato and caramelized onion tart. Best dish of the night. Service was outstanding - attentive, friendly and helpful without being overbearing in the least. The pacing was spot on. Highly recommend this gem in Edinburgh.

   The best dinner of our life. Every dish was simply delicious, the flavours were like nothing we've ever tasted before. We loved the Thai Tartare, the Chicken Katsu and the Popcorn Baked Alaska, but my personal favourite was the Duck Breast. The price are also very reasonable (I'd recommend the 3 course for £38 deal), and the impeccable service made us feel comfortable and satisfied. Can't recommend enough!

   An exceptional culinary experience that thoughtfully showcased local Scottish ingredients. Every course was beautifully plated and delivered great balance in flavour and texture. The use of seasonal produce, vibrant colours, and creative pairings really stood out. It felt refined yet unpretentious — and the five-course set menu at only £50 offered outstanding value for the quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Scottish cuisine at its best.

   Lovely 3 course meal in our first visit to Taisteal. I say first because I believe we will be back again. Anywhere where we share 3 desserts cause we couldn't choose between them is doing well in my book. Great flavours. Well presented. Friendly staff. And the downstairs dining area was relaxed and fitting. Only downside was I couldn't read the menu very well. Light greyish font on white paper in low light just didn't work for me! Still I struggled thru and it was worth it.

   Such a fantastic restaurant. The food was unique and beautiful! The service was friendly and attentive with a delight in their food and drink. The artwork is also brilliant. Was a fantastic way to celebrate my wedding anniversary. Will be back!

   We went for the 7-course tasting menu with drinks pairing. It proved to be an excellent choice. Well-balanced tastes, great service and value for money. The drinks included more than wine which was a pleasant suprise. Totally recommended!
