The 30 Best Restaurant in Edinburgh

“Amazing meal at the Real Greek! We got selected for the golden menu, which was such a treat! Our waitress Vanessa looked after us for the whole meal and the service was top tier, as was all the food - which was all delicious. Would definitely recommend!”

“We stopped there at Sunday afternoon just for one beer because of historical value. However, Kamil, Craig, Martin, Harri, Archie were so amazing and helpful that we spend there alomst five hours. We had such a great time and experince. We also got a option to try historical skittle alley. It was such a fun. So we highly reccomend to vist this place. Thank you for everything Marika, Zuzana and Kateřina.”

“Dinner out done right Loved this pub to eat at. Vibrant garden on a Saturday night with people enjoying a drink and good time by the looks of it. Inside was very nice and the food was to die for. I had the lamb and was asked how I would like it cooked and this is something you don’t often get in finer dining establishments. Very very impressed. Thank you to Emily and Alex who served us.”

“I wasn’t aware of this cool bar until I had to Google it to buy a bottle of Lonewolf gin for my work colleague. Stepped in and memersize by the wide selection of beers from the tap shown in the menu board. Bought the bottle and settled in for an Elvis Juice IPA, without knowing what it was. The first sip was wow… tasted like grapefruit, one of my favourite fruits. Taste is very defined and refreshing. Forgotten to take photo. Friendly staff! Brewdog is quite close to Royal Mile. I arrived during dinner time so it was pretty quiet.”

“Really nice hotel. Friendly staff - and fellow guests! My room's WC was across the hall, which isn't perfect for a prostate cancer survivor, but it was private. Everything else tickety-boo.”

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

“For pure haggis taste experiment, here is the place. Steak pie has lack of salt but good anyway. Waiter is amazing, he helped us about picking the dish and adviced some other places. The sticky dessert is edible, but I don't recommend. Restaurant is on the second floor, you can enter from first floor pub.”

“Went 2/12/25 for another visit after almost 2 years and it was still very good. Lots of delicious beers and decent burgers and fries though so hungry I forgot a picture sorry! The place became very busy for a Wednesday with lots of groups and all you can eat wing night on Wednesdays as well. Enjoyed barley wine and stout and it was becoming pretty loud as it was really busy so left for hanging bat near by. Two sides for £7 was a nice value”

“I had a fantastic stay at this hotel in North Queensferry. The room was amazing — spacious, clean, and incredibly comfortable, with a bed that made it hard to get up in the morning. The restaurant was another highlight; the food was truly top-notch and worth every bite. If you can, definitely choose a room with a view of the bridge. It’s absolutely stunning and adds something special to the whole experience. Parking is available, but finding a spot on the weekends can be a bit challenging, so it’s worth keeping that in mind. Aside from that, the staff and service were exactly what you’d expect from a hotel of this brand: professional, attentive, and consistently helpful. Overall, a wonderful stay in a beautiful location.”

“Very nice green area Park with plenty of good Restraunts, Bars & shops nearby...”

“I would like to take this opportunity to say that I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Premier Hub in Haymarket. After a few teething issues when I arrived outwith anyone's control. Staff members Jordan and Stefania were indeed extremely helpful in finding me, a nice clean on suite room at short notice. I found all the facilities to be well maintained and clean and the wider access accessibility entery. All in all it made my stay in Edinburgh all the more enjoyable. The aforementioned staff are a credit to the Premier Hub organisation”

“We've often seen a show here for the Fringe but not prepared to pay over the odds for a room. However, we did have a meal here this week which was excellent. It's a small, relaxed bar area. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. Prices surprisingly reasonable too, especially during the Fringe. Will definitely return for a meal on our next visit”

“Was last at this establishment 4 years ago. Booked a bigger room, located on the 5th floor, was very quiet and peaceful, the room had a reasonable view over the rooftops. Largely the room was fine, however small matters like the curling wallpaper and stained carpets tainted our overall experience. On a positive note the bed and bathroom were excellent and we had a good and peaceful sleep each night. Continental breakfast which cost £6pp, was good value and set is up for the day ahead. Brilliant location, very central for transport, shops and eateries.”

“The staff could not be more friendly and helpful. The hotel is clean and beautiful. It's like your staying in someone's home. And the location is just perfect for getting around.”

“Staying at Malmaison was a great experience. Arriving from a red eye at 6:30am, we weren't expecting to be able to get into a room until later that afternoon but they were able to upgrade us when we arrived for only £20! The room was spacious and modern with a moody flair. Would definitely recommend the stay there.”

“We stayed here for two weeks recently and had a great experience. The location is walkable to the train station and the shops and there are grocery stores nearby. The rooms are clean, well stocked and comfortable . The front desk staff, especially Katherine, are friendly and helpful. This location is approximately 30 min from the airport and a taxi is approximately 35 pound fare. Would definitely stay here again”

“Very nice and cozy apartment. Well located, less than 5 minutes walk to the Royal Mile. There are also a lot of restaurants and bars in the area. The apartment was quite big, the kitchen was well equipped, the washing machine and coffee machine were a great bonus. I totally recommend it for those who visit the city and want to experience living in the old town!”

“Thank you Emily and Andy for this unforgettable experience. Seafood grill mix was really tasty! Then I got recommendation for a cheescake, and I must say it was one of the best ones that I ever had. Service 10/10 Foods 10/10 Atmosphere 10/10. I will definitely come back.”

“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”

“Caprice is hands down the best Italian restaurant in East Lothian. The food never fails to impress, especially the pizza. Amazing value for money. Our waitress Jade was phenomenal, and offered us an espresso on the house after our meal. Would recommend!!”

“A pleasant place to eat and drink. The meals were tasty and well presented. Ola delivered excellent service, she recommended good wine, and she made our day. Thank you”

“We found this place by complete accident. We are thrilled that we went here from the first moment we were well taken care of. Everything was explained to us how it works the beer was great tasting and well chilled food -stunning selection there is no chance to taste it all in one go there is so much to try... Everything I tasted...was delicious. Thank you we will definitely be back.”

“wagamama's food taste is good but i will say it's not like the actual korean authentic tastebud. took chicken options but they gave same sauce for both of the different dishes...no change. service was really good. you can pay in wagamama app from your phone and by logging in can get free prawn crackers.”

“Tried for the first time last night and it got to say it's the best Chinese food I've had in a long time il definitely be back. Can't wait to try the Thai menu next time ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Been coming here for a few years now must admit its my go to for Chinese. Never had a bad meal yet .staff at the front off the shop are always welcoming and polite if you need something extra or a meal tweaked. They are happy to try and accommodate your needs. Plus gives my cooker a wee rest.”

“I’ve really enjoyed Luci’s lunch & dinner in the past and recently tried their new brunch menu and it was fantastic! Really well prepared and delicious - one of the best breakfasts I’ve ever had!”

“I love five guys so much and this is our go to branch. Never had a bad experience. Always fresh and yummy. Only complaint is why is it so expensive :(”

“Enjoyed our visit on Saturday night. We had a burger followed by a cheesecake each. Irish Coffee is recommended.”

“Play poker here every day and always get a meal or the daily special. The salmon linguine is very very good and this place is famous for steaks. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely love this place!! Was there again tonight with my partner for his birthday and couldn’t fault a thing! Rebecca was outstanding as was the food and the service, the quality and quantity of food at such a reasonable price is unbelievable! Always go above and beyond, can’t wait for our next visit!! Xx”
