German restaurant in Edinburgh

“Ten years ago, my family and I stopped by on a whim while visiting Rosslyn Chapel. We were wowed by the food and have been talking about it ever since. On this recent trip to Scotland, we purpose planned our visit to this gem of a restaurant. The ambiance is wonderful, the food is delicious and it feels like home. You will not be disappointed. I had the steak pie, which had large and tender chunks of beef and a fantastic puff pastry on top. My wife had the fish & chips which was flakey and so yummy. Both came with French Fries (chips) and a veg. The food was as good as we remembered and we’ll be coming back the next time we’re here.”

“I went with a friend, and chose to get there at 11:15am to get seated, as you can't book parties of two. We got a seat just in time for me to order a full Scottish breakfast, which they removed a few items from at my request - it was totally delicious - well cooked bacon, sausages were also well cooked, but nice and soft texture, perfect fried egg! Runny yolk, and nice non-rubbery white, baked beans... pots of tea. My friend had a burger and chips, which she polished off and then she had a gluten free apple cake and a latte! They let me get a lentil soup to go, and the shop has yummy tablet, and a lot of German beer and lager. Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful. Best breakfast I've ever had! Thank you, Mannerstons!”

“A place we missed out on during our last rip to Edinburgh but thankfully Jasmin managed to squeeze us in - Defiantly recommend booking here and you can see why! The service was excellent and the food a delight! We actually managed to get here for Brunch two days running - Excellent all round and we will be back - Thank you!”

“Beautiful authentic Italian food in the heart of Scottish capital. Family owned and run, it gives you that feeling of home-cooked meal. We have visited on numerous occasions and we always leave satisfied. A must-visit when in Edinburgh.”

“Hands down the best food spot in Edinburgh! We dined in and the overall vibes of the place were great!! So clean and tidy with amazing service from Jana and Fares.”

“Love this place! Great melon from the East, tasty baklava and good other groceries. Plus friendly people.”

“Food was very fresh and delicious. Atmosphere, that felt very much authentic. Lovely Italian music, with a bonus of all the staff singing in Italian- you’ll think you’re in Italy. Staff was very friendly and always smiling too. Thank you for a lovely dinner.”

“Honestly my favourite place in Leith. The new owners turned it round without removing everything that made it great.They did what few dare to do - keep it authentic. Everyone I know who embodies the best aspects of Leith loves this place.. It feels like yer best mate’s living room. When quiet, it’s idyllic, when jumpin it speaks for itself. Never look down on the boundary bar… I dare say you might once again fall in love.”

“We had such a good experience! Food 10 outta 10 and a lovely waitress named Amy. Would recommend if you visit Edinburgh to try some Scottish food. We had the duck and pie.”

“Lovely pub, we went for board games and stayed the whole afternoon. The burgers are surprisingly good and a single portion of chips will feed a table! Decent selection of beers as well.”

“This is the one of the best Lamb Doner Kebab you can find in Edinburgh, large portion and tasty flavor.”

“We loved our brunch at Ginger Cafe! I was served some of the best pancakes I’ve ever had, just deliciously fluffy and I loved how fresh they were. My boyfriend enjoyed his full Scottish too. They were happy to made small changes to my order which I appreciated, and the service was friendly and attentive. The vibe of the cafe is just my sort of thing, very local and cosy. some of the chairs and menus have seen better days, but I’d still go back in a heartbeat (in fact I’m tempted to go again tomorrow).”

“Great place! Food is delicious and portions are massive! Very helpful and friendly staff”

“New. Favorite. Takeaway. What can I say, best burger I've had. Also recommend the loaded fries they are something else”

“Took the wife for breakfast and we thoroughly enjoyed the poached eggs, smoked salmon and avocado on toast, I enjoyed mines that much I ended up having another (the wife taxed me for a bite) with our pastel de nata for after washed down with an excellent coffee. It's a free for all with the seating so recommend either trying to reserve table or getting there sharp.”

“Such a cute little place. We came as a family, curious to try the coffee and enjoy the coffee art, and it didn’t disappoint. The menu offers delicious and varied options, from fresh salads to toasties, bagels and pouched eggs. The staff were lovely too. And the coffee truly tastes like real coffee, especially compared to many other places in Edinburgh. Highly recommended!”

“Our orders have always been great and fresh , the juggernaut calxone is amazing and full of meat! The surprise bag, which stops food waste is always fresh and great value. Friendly staff too!”

“Amazing food - the steak was delicious and I loved the experience of making the meat on your own. Very friendly customer service.”

“Popped in here this week. Had half an hour to spare. Enjoyed a lovely cup of Earl Grey tea sitting at the little food bar at the window....right in front of me ...delicious home made cakes and home made artisan bread. Home made soup too. Go on try something different to your usual lentil. Beans are so good for us....protein and fibre in a cup. Love lentil soup but will try different ones. Lovely couple....very hard-working by what they told me. Bought some delicious cakes to take away and also sourdough sunflower bread. Yummy!! I'll go in again. We need to support out litlle places too or they'll disappear. Thank you!”

“Amazing food and staff. Hannah was lovely and attentive. Restaurant and hotel are beautiful. We took lots of pics. Thank you for such an enjoyable evening”

“Really fun, busy but not too noisy, decorations were really good and didn't come across as just a tourist spot, I regret not buying myself a t-shirt. I would recommend booking a table as it's very popular. The food was pretty decent, nice pizza and decent value.”

“A GREAT GO-TO. Pret is always a reliable place to go. The food and drinks are of a consistently high standard and the staff genuinely friendly and helpful. We had hot food namely a falafel & halloumi wrap and tuna melt toastie. Both were terrific. Large americanos and spelt cookie chasers and we were sorted. Continually good. We'll keep going back.”

“Marmaris in Edinburgh is absolutely fantastic! Their Marmaris Special for Two is more than enough – the portions are huge and really generous. The food is full of flavour, freshly cooked, and perfect for sharing. Great value for money and a place I’ll definitely keep coming back to. Highly recommend!”

“Food was freshly cooked and nicely presented exceptional flavour and mouth watering tastes. Service could not be faulted. Pleasant atmosphere Recommend a visit you will not be disappointed.”

“Dropped of relatives here as they are staying in the hotel whilst in town. We were allowed to leave their luggage as it was too soon to check in but we decided to have some lunch in the hotel restaurant. Food was fantastic, plenty and reasonably inexpensive. A lunch for 5 plus drinks was £60. Great service, fresh food, cheerful staff. Would highly recommend a visit.”

“Great selection of draft and bottled beer, reasonably speedy service, comfortable seating, pool tables and a beer garden. I was here for a birthday party on a Saturday night. Everybody had a great time especially the birthday girl who was well catered for and delighted with the choice of venue. We had a large area reserved and it was easily able to accommodate about 15-20 people across two tables. They pride themselves on their beer selection, some of it is on draft but most comes in bottles. The prices are reasonable for the area and the atmosphere is a mix between the George street style and the more intimate vibe more common in Leith. There is not much space for dancing but that isn't a major drawback for me personally. The beer garden is still 'coming soon' but it will be a regular haunt in the summer months. It is a nice alternative to the George street scene in the same part of town and I am sure I'll be back in the near future.”

“A lovely quirky pub. Unusual interior, slightly falling apart but it adds to the character. Great selection of bottled beers & draught beers. Lovely staff & even nicer regulars!”

“Thanku for making nice kebab that was rrally yummy and your fish and chips are so nice I will be ordering them again”
