Visited in early October. Solo visit to Edinburgh. Walked by looked nice decided to go inside. So glad I did. Nice vibe, staff very kind welcoming and patient. Food was amazing. Had the Veggie Haggis. So good came.back for dinner the same day. The Cullen Skink was the best. Would highly recommend this place for sure.
My colleague and I had dinner at Tolbooth Tavern and we couldn’t be happier. Very good traditional Scottish food, great service and what a variety of Whiskies! Steve is amazing and made us feel super comfortable. Thanks Steve and the Team for a good dinner and experience. Highly recommended. Cintia & Priscilla
Charming old building with a nice atmosphere. We ordered the Cullen Skink, which was very good, while the apple salad was not particularly fresh. Overall, it was decent for a tavern, though on the pricey side.
Service was great, absolutely loved the atmosphere of the pub. The staff were so gracious and very helpful to us as my mum uses a walking frame. The food was ok... Nothing wonderful, but not bad all the same.
The smoked salmon starter was my favorite. A plate of build-your-own which I like because I like to control how much of the cheese goes on the oat cracker. The oat cracker was thick but not too crunchy, a really nice consistency. Husband loved the chicken bacon avocado salad. The mushrooms on toast was quite tasty and vegetarian. One less star because we felt rushed out. And the table service in the beginning when we arrived was not that great. Same guy walked past our table several times for 10 min before asking us if we wanted to order anything. They finally picked up the pace after we ordered food. Good traditional Scottish food and music. I am still waiting to see this ghost everyone keeps talking about! Booga booga!!!!
Great Mulled Wine! I little touristy, but still worth a visit. Had a big tourist bus pulled in just before we got there. Will definitely go back for another visit.
Stallion stake was perfect. If you wan to try traditional Scottish food, then this is is a place to go. From the outside house looks stunning, like in the Harry Potter movie. Totally love it. Full with locals, fast service and good selection with beers.
This is one of at least a dozen gorgeous, iconic pubs on or around the Royal Mile. I'd consider it a must-see. The whisky selection is good - not the best, but quantity isn't everything. Some places boast about having several hundred whiskys but that's honestly just overwhelming. It's better, I think, to have a smaller well-curated selection with something for everyone. I think they did a good job on that here.
Had a meal here as part of a tour. The place has amazing history and the building itself has an awesome facade. Food and drinks were great. It's a great place for a meal or beverage when visiting Edinburgh.
The Tollbooth is a traditional pub with a good choice of drinks and friendly service. It was very quiet when I was there but started to get busy when I left. The prices were normal for a city centre pub in Edinburgh.
