Restaurant in Edinburgh

“As a New Yorker with high pizza standards (and a serious slice craving), Franco Manca in Stockbridge absolutely delivered. The pizza was delicious—perfectly balanced, flavorful, and honestly lacking nothing. The crust had that ideal chew, the ingredients were fresh, and every bite felt intentional. Service was excellent as well: friendly, efficient, and welcoming without being overbearing. This has officially become my go-to pizza spot whenever I’m visiting Edinburgh. If you’re looking for a slice that passes the New York test, this is it.”

“WOW. Just WOW. I haven't had food this good in a while, I personally ordered the BBQ pork burger w/ an IRN BRU, and OH MY GOSH, that was GOOD. So much flavour, the chips were cooked perfectly. They had all sorts of condiments on the table. Don't get me started on the view, that was a lovely view looking over Edinburgh and it's historical buildings. A friend ordered a pizza, and they said it was very good too, so amazing food overall! I am very impressed, I will definitely try to go again next time I'm up here, Absolutely amazing overall❤️”

“I recently visited Rustam Restaurant in Edinburgh and had a wonderful dining experience. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with elegant décor that makes it perfect for both a relaxed dinner and a special occasion.”

“One of the most delicious Turkish restaurants I’ve tried in Edinburgh! The staff are Turkish and truly know what they’re serving. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was excellent. I really loved the food and would definitely recommend it!”

“I picked this place for my final dinner after a week in Scotland, and I’m happy to say I wasn’t disappointed. The smoked trout from the Belhaven duo was absolutely fantastic—one of the best I’ve ever had! The smoked salmon that came with it was a bit underwhelming, but that’s probably because the trout stole the spotlight. The haggis was by far the best I had during my entire stay (trust me, I made sure to try it at several places), and the lobster was the perfect finish to the meal. Definitely recommend this spot for a great fine dining experience.”

“We recently visited this restaurant, and we were very pleased with the food. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. But what truly made our experience special was the excellent service. Our waiter, Kiril, was outstanding—attentive, polite, and genuinely welcoming. He made us feel like valued guests from the moment we arrived, and it added so much warmth to our evening. We left with a wonderful impression and will definitely return.”

“We visited this place on July 30, and from the very first moment to the final goodbye, it felt truly wholesome. The food was absolutely delicious — it reminded us of the authentic flavours of home, Nepal. It was also my friend’s birthday, and the team surprised her with a lovely gesture. I know this appreciation comes a bit late, but a huge thank you to the entire team for making it such a memorable experience.”

“Shinwari Restaurant in Edinburgh offered a truly delightful experience. The taste of the food was exceptionally good, with authentic flavours that impressed the whole family. Portions were generous, and the service was attentive, making for an overall very good and memorable family meal. Highly recommend for Pakistani cuisine lovers!”

“Lovely lunch with friends. Food was amazing and staff couldn't be any nicer. Thank you!”

“i cant fault the food, which smelled divine and drew me towards this stall . the reviews about the staff being very friendly and helpful are true - a nice spot”

“It's cute little restaurant. Great wine, yummy food & quick and happy service. Everything we ordered was delicious.”

“I had delicious medium salad bowl, great atmosphere”

“Absolutely delicious with good vegan options. Everyone enjoyed their meals. Very reasonable pricing. Would definitely come back.”

“George our redheaded server was so wellmannered, friendly and helpful, explaining menu choices and navigating the restaurant experience. He made our visit extra special and we will definitely return.”

“Really tasty and great options. Staff were friendly, welcoming and informative. Good pricing, especially for the location. Fries are extra but I would suggest sharing between two as portions are quite large. No need to book as quite a large space and walk-in was available, however you can book if you want to ensure a table.”

“I had the most amazing potato and leek salad, along with whiskey cured salmon and a sticky toffee pudding. The staff was great, friendly and accommodating. I look forward to enjoying Sunday roast there this weekend.”

“Absolutely amazing experience! The seafood was incredibly fresh and full of flavour — everything tasted like it came straight from the ocean. The seafood chowder was rich and comforting, and the main dish was beautifully cooked and presented. The service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt cozy and welcoming. Definitely one of the best seafood restaurants I’ve been to in Scotland. Highly recommended!”

“Kitty, an Irish pub, is a fantastic spot that's both cozy and lively. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it the perfect place to relax and enjoy a pint. Live music is a big highlight here. It really adds to the vibrant, authentic Irish pub feel. The place is also full of character, with lots of small nooks and crannies for more private, quiet chats with friends. If you're looking for a comfortable, genuine pub experience with great music and a bit of a hideaway feel, Kitty is definitely the place to go.”

“Went as a couple during a trip to Edinburgh. We booked via OpenTable, but on arrival, we weren't in the system :( The place was packed, but the lady at the front desk found us a table just over an hour after the original booking. I can highly recommend the bar next door's French 75 and Old Fashioneds to help pass the time :) I had a 950g porterhouse, medium, with a good charring. It was delicious. Pink and juicy, melt in the mouth stuff, with fat rendered so it dissolved in my mouth. I think my girlfriend enjoyed her food too, but I was too distracted with the beauty that was mine :D”

“This place is incredible!! The food was reasonable for a high end product and atmosphere. From the moment we entered the staff were very kind and helpful, asking us about our day, and offering to take our coats. Moments like this made it better than better. The food and drinks menus were both detailed which made it perfect for an overthinker like myself for picking the perfect drink. The food menu was the same, and described exactly what you will get. My partner and I shared the chateaubriand which was a perfect serving for us (with the extra sides) the beef melted in our mouths, and the sauces were amazing, I’d especially recommend the Malbec and bone marrow jus, it was an excellent extra for the beef. Sides were perfect, the broccoli tasted Smokey and cooked perfectly to be soft with a small crunch, the spinach was refreshing and lemony, the mushrooms were peppery and were a larger portion, and the chips were lovely and crispy with a fluffy inside. The staff were great, so attentive and helpful with our questions and chit chat. I couldn’t recommend this place more, for a high end meal with a better price tag than some steakhouses. Amazing!!”

“I love the atmosphere in here! I’ve been twice now to enjoy the lovely food. The waiters need to be more aware when you need your drink topped up though I waited 20 minutes for someone to come over as my glass was empty for that amount of time! The food was delicious plenty of desserts for anyone to enjoy”

“I've been coming to The Bay Leaf for years, and it never disappoints, We’ve honestly never had a bad meal here, whether eating in or getting a takeaway, the food is always spot on and full of flavour. The quality and consistency are amazing every single time. We’re really lucky to have such a great Indian restaurant nearby. Highly recommend !”

“What a great menu of food, the staff are very warming and great with the Indian and Nepalese knowledge of cuisine. We had Chicken Pakora and Onion Baji to start then a Lamb Chasni and Chicken Tikka Khardhi. Dishes were well presented and tasted amazing”

“Lovely Italian restaurant. Food was of very high quality, delicious, and plenty to choose from! Went here for my birthday meal with my family. The waitresses overheard it was my birthday and personalised my desert, with a birthday candle, and played happy birthday over the speakers - which was a wonderful surprise! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a great place to eat, or just visiting Dunfermline, with high quality food across the menu. The pasta dish, and red velvet cake I had, were the best I’ve had all year!”

“Always good service, with a smile as well. Selection is always good with good pricing. We shop here for home and business often.”

“Top class hotel, they staff are really lovely people, its a credit to management. They were so good with our kids. Breakfast was excellent. Lovely cocktails. Location is really good, 3 min walk to haymarket to get all buses/trams and trains. We used 2 taxi in 4 days. Will definitely recommend again. If youre coming with kids please check out cupapug around corner. A cafe with pug dogs. We loved it”

“The restaurant is bigger than it looks from outside ! It has an incredibly varied menu including the usual Indian favourites but also a vast choice of speciality Nepalese dishes and even British choices for the less adventurous. Attentive and fast service. There were a few steps down to the tables area within the restaurant, but I saw a gentleman with a walking frame negotiate them.”

“We booked a table for 7 for a family get together for my wife's birthday. We have eclectic tastes and the all you can eat buffet catered for them all. Food was beautifully cooked and service impeccable. Highly recommend the Lamb Bhuna and Indian Chilli Chicken . Will be back.”

“I was there on 30th October 2025. Staff were helpful and friendly. When food arrived it was hot and very tasty, we all loved it. Fairly busy for 6pm on a Thursday. Calm and relaxing atmosphere. Will be back soon !”

“Absolutely lovely place and amazing food. Best pad thai ive had in scotland by far... i even order one for the road. No frills food that speaks for itself and very reasonable prices. Byob.”
