   We were thoroughly pampered by Keith and Emma and their team, our evening was seamlessly executed from start to finish with the staff engaging, knowledgeable and eager to please. Matthew’s food was beautiful in every course and we loved every dish and accompanying wine - he needs to trademark that Cullen skink canapé for sure!!! Thoroughly recommend- great experience!!!

   One of the best meals I have ever had. It stretched me culinary wise with things I have never eaten. But I highly recommend service was fantastic, and the atmosphere amazing

   WOW!...... what a truly incredible experience at Number One. From the moment we entered and until we left, we were treated incredibly by all the staff. We had the 5 dish tasting menu with the pairing wine and every dish just seemed to get better. We got married in the Balmoral Hotel last year and all the staff knew and congratulated us on our special day.

   ate here last night and i ordered the vegan 7 course meal. a few dishes were bland despite beautiful plating (specifically the first starter), but some of them knocked my socks off (65% chocolate with sesame bark, red pepper chutney and artichoke, miso caramel)!! soo delicious. i liked the chocolate old fashioned but it could do with more of a chocolate aroma/flavour. kombuchas were amazing though. the service was wonderful and so were the wine pairings. i would definitely recommend this place for vegans!!

   We had a wonderful evening at Number One last night. The food was excellent, and we really appreciated their use of locally sourced Scottish ingredients. The menu was thoughtfully designed and well balanced. We left feeling satisfied but not overly full. The service was very good, with a professional and attentive team who made us feel well looked after. The atmosphere was elegant yet relaxed. We’d definitely recommend this place and look forward to returning in the future!

   No doubt the tasting menu deserved a 5-star review. Simply covering a lot of culinary skills and phenomenal visual presentation in one meal. The only area I would suggest the restaurant improving was their tea storage conditions. I ordered a pot of tea at the end of the meal, but the tea leaves seemed not to have stored in air-tight container for a while and lost all their fragrance already. The restaurant did not charge for the tea as the server noticed I was not satisfied with it. Nonetheless, the meal by itself was meticulously executed. It only needed a bit more attention to other details to support the very talented kitchen team.

   Fine dining at its best! Every dish is thoughtfully crafted, balanced, and divine. My husband and I dined here recently and were treated to an incredible 7-course meal. Scott and Keith took great care of us while we were here and we enjoyed chatting with the executive chef at the end of the meal, too. This is the perfect spot for a special occasion or for anyone who loves a fancy night out. Enjoy!

   Excellent. We had the tasting menu, and the kedgeree and the carrot pudding were particularly delicious. The sommelier knew his stuff and talked up the wine in the matched wine menu, and that definitely added to the delicious food. We were very impressed.

   This was a great restaurant, great service and very knowledgeable staff. The start, the sommelier was very knowledgeable about his wine and has a great selection of wines. We choose the 7 course tasting menu. We enjoyed each plate, some more than others but especially the chocolate truffle bomb and the beef. Would return again as the environment is relaxed and not rushed, service staff is very professional and the scotch bar above is great for after dinner drinks.

   Beautiful decor and atmosphere. Extremely attentive, welcoming and helpful staff. Exceptional presentation and tastes. Definetly enjoyed the amount served to the point of being completely satisfied. One of the best meals I've had, and so far it edges out as the best Michelin star restaurant meal I've enjoyed thus far. Overall a beautiful experience that I would highly recommend anyone take in while in Edinburgh or even as the reason to make a stop over.
