Grill bar in Edinburgh

“We had a group booking here and tried the churrasco experience - it was fabulous! Delicious cuts of beef, chicken, pork and lamb always arriving, and access to the market table. Also tasted a brilliant wagyu beef!”

“It was my first time in Scotland and first Indian restaurant in scotland and I must say that really great food. We asked them to make it Indian spicy and it was worth saying that. All the dishes were delicious. Being served and taken care by their two of the girls and they were very hospitable and good at their work. Highly Recommended”

“An absolute standout in Leith and one of the best seafood meals I’ve had, period. The atmosphere was warm and effortlessly refined. Our waiter was exceptional—elegant, incredibly knowledgeable, and perfectly attentive without ever being intrusive. The food was beyond delicious: beautifully presented, impeccably fresh, and full of flavour. Anyways, couldn’t recommend this restaurant more highly. A true gem and a must-visit if you ever are in the area.”

“My brother and I actually visited twice last week such was the quality of the food and service. I tempt fate about once a year and go for a vindaloo, it was superb. My brother had the mixed grill selection and all was beautifully cooked and flavoured. We had a starter selection in advance and all was tasty. A couple of Gurkha beers too just for research purposes! The 2 waiters were most friendly and attentive. I would highly recommend.”

“First time eating here and the food is fantastic! Excellent staff, generous portions, and full of superb flavour. The chicken 65 and garlic chilli chicken were amazing. Will go again.”

“I thoroughly enjoyed the meal here. It was much better than expected and one of the best, if not the best, meal I had in Edinburgh and I tried almost all of the really popular eating spots in Edinburgh based on reviews. The restaurant was empty which was surprising when we got there. I put a down payment for a large group which was refunded when I got there. Staff was very friendly and welcoming. Would highly recommend visiting here if you’re into this type of cuisine and despite it being a bit of a walk from the most touristy area of Edinburgh. Prices were also reasonable.”

“Amazing service. First Edinburgh experience and it as so welcoming! Great bartender.”

“First time visiting the Royal since family moved to Penicuik. Stopped by for some food. The portions were very generous and tasted amazing. The Haggis Balls were excellent and the Pulled Pork was too. Friendly service, prompt and a very nice establishment. Worth checking out when in town.”

“Lovely restaurant in a fantastic hotel. Our only meal here was breakfast and our full Scottish breakfast is excellent. Breakfast was also well done. In the evening the restaurant and bar are packed. This is obviously a place to go. Prices good. Attentive and professional staff.”

“We and my partner always come here. The food is great and they often bring you a lovely soup even before you’ve ordered! It’s also very cheap!”

“My first visit and I wasn't disappointed! Our server was rushed off his feet! A lot of diners were in and he was working solo! We were a group of 8 having lunch. I brought my puppy who was enjoying the attention and not being as good as I'd hoped! Food was excellent and I hope to return again soon!”

“We were gifted a voucher for Dinner Bed &Breakfast as we decided to stay Sunday to Monday we opted for Sunday late lunch and the Bed & Breakfast. From when we arrived we had a very friendly welcome from the reception staff, we were given all the information details. The room was very clean with everything needed for our stay . We had a 3 course lunch which was excellent and the best Sunday lunch we have had in a very long time. As it was an anniversary we had complementary Champagne, the service was exceptional with at least 3 different staff attending us nothing was too much trouble and at the end of the meal we were given a plate with Happy Anniversary written in chocolate with Turkish delight and chocolates very nice touch. Breakfast was excellent with plenty of choice and again excellent service would like to thank Kirsty and all the staff we will definitely come back. Ann and Andy Brown”

“Stopped in for a quick bite and definitely was not disappointed! The server was so friendly and welcoming. She gave us great tips for our trip through Scotland. Shepards pie was fantastic and try the chips with brown sauce!”

“The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming, perfect for a relaxed meal or a fun night out. Portions are generous, prices are great value, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure you have an exceptional experience”

“Definitely a hidden gem. Was quiet upon going in, and we were served quickly. Food was great with big portions and staff were all friendly. Would 100% recommend.”

“Great food and great service. They were also very accommodating to my dog which was great to see. 10/10 - we will be back!”

“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.”

“I could not find the name of this place for the life of me! My husband and I trotted in August 2024 and were greeted and served by Duncan. Firstly his service was outstanding super welcoming, patient, and informational. Our food and drinks were delicious. The restaurant is located in such a cute little corner near the castle and when you sit outside you can have such a beautiful view. I hope I’m blessed with another opportunity to visit again!”

“First visited 3 years ago when in Scotland on holiday had to visit again worth the trip. One of the best places to eat that I been to. Called again 2024 for lunch always have to visit when we are nearby on holiday. Very friendly staff always make a fuss of the dog and food as good as ever. My wife said she just wanted a salad and I ended up with half due to the size of it.”

“Absolutely fantastic meal! Little gem in Livingston. Very reasonably priced and great service. Can't recommend it more!! Food was all fresh and deliciously tasty! Menu about to change next week so we'll be back soon!”

“Absolutely love this place. Not just as a pool venue but as a pub In general. Great pint, great tables, great staff and great locals. Best booster around!!!!!!”

“Cute and cozy theatre. Really friendly and helpful staff!”

“This very lovely restaurant in the Dunmuir Hotel is just wonderful. I've been a number of times both in a large group and as a couple and the standard never waivers. The actual restaurant itself is recently refurbished and looks great. It is not overfilled with tables so you don't feel cramped. The service from the moment you walk in is friendly but professional. I think getting the balance right is hard and these guys have nailed it. Then there's the food. I've yet to have a bad dish, the food really is absolutely delicious. The standard really is exceptional and I would go to eat there again in a heartbeat. This is all very high praise but as a person who rarely reviews things, in this instance it absolutely deserves this 5 star rating.”

“Wish to thank the staff of 119 for the lovely experience you gave my husband and myself yesterday. The restaurant was opened up early for us and the owner and staff were so kind. The food was amazing, we had the ribeye sharing platter which was cooked to perfection. We will definately be back, once again thank you so much.”

“My go to place in Edinburgh airport after security. Easy service, grab any table and you can order on the app. Nice and quick service, which is key at an airport. The food is great. Throughly enjoyed some prawns as starter and half a chicken as the main. Presentation was great, taste was even better!”

“Really great priced. Good choice. Gluten free options - burger was fab, slightly cold as the roll was obviously frozen and not heated enough but i cant even complain was still delicious! 100% will be back”

“They had beautiful decorations up so we wanted to pop in for a few pints. We had kids but they were super helpful with explaining the rules and letting us enjoy ourselves. Didn’t eat much more than some bar food, the back of the restaurant looks enjoyable as well.”

“Gluten free fish and chips, that’s basically all I have to say! Friendly staff, food is great. Went back for a second night.”

“A little sharp arrived as they were opening, served starters to our table, very nice. Then munched my way through the buffet. Back for puds. Barmaid in leather trousers was rather tasty too.”

“We held our annual ball here earlier this month and cannot fault this venue! The staff were fantastic, the atmosphere was brilliant and the food provided by Mackenzies catering was delicious. A great event had!”
